EMPOWER: Embodied Multi-role Open-vocabulary Planning with Online Grounding and Execution
Task planning for robots in real-life settings presents significant challenges. These challenges stem from three primary issues: the difficulty in identifying grounded sequences of steps to achieve a goal; the lack of a standardized mapping between high-level actions and low-level commands; and the challenge of maintaining low computational overhead given the limited resources of robotic hardware.
Evidence notes
- Experiments use TIAGo as the physical evaluation platform.
- The reported results provide an independent evaluation on TIAGo hardware.
