Exploratory Retrieval-Augmented Planning For Continual Embodied Instruction Following
- 结合信息驱动探索与记忆查询,动态更新环境认知。
- 在虚拟家庭、阿尔弗雷德等场景中成功率超现有方法。
- 适合需要长期适应变化环境的智能体任务研究。
本研究提出一种探索增强型规划框架(ExRAP),用于解决智能体在动态非稳态环境中持续执行指令的任务。该框架通过高效探索物理环境并建立环境上下文记忆,增强大语言模型的具身推理能力,使任务规划过程能有效融入随时间变化的环境背景。在ExRAP中,每个连续指令被分解为对环境记忆的查询和基于查询结果的任务执行。为高效处理连续并发的多任务,我们引入信息驱动的探索机制,嵌入到基于大语言模型的规划流程中。结合记忆增强的查询评估,该方案在保证环境记忆有效性的同时,降低探索负担,并提升整体任务表现。此外,设计了时间一致性精炼机制以应对记忆知识的自然衰减。在VirtualHome、ALFRED和CARLA三个基准上的实验表明,该方法对不同指令规模、类型及非稳态程度均表现出鲁棒性,且在目标达成率和执行效率上持续优于其他先进基于大语言模型的任务规划方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This study presents an Exploratory Retrieval-Augmented Planning (ExRAP) framework, designed to tackle continual instruction following tasks of embodied agents in dynamic, non-stationary environments. The framework enhances Large Language Models' (LLMs) embodied reasoning capabilities by efficiently exploring the physical environment and establishing the environmental context memory, thereby effectively grounding the task planning process in time-varying environment contexts. In ExRAP, given multiple continual instruction following tasks, each instruction is decomposed into queries on the environmental context memory and task executions conditioned on the query results. To efficiently handle these multiple tasks that are performed continuously and simultaneously, we implement an exploration-integrated task planning scheme by incorporating the {information-based exploration} into the LLM-based planning process. Combined with memory-augmented query evaluation, this integrated scheme not only allows for a better balance between the validity of the environmental context memory and the load of environment exploration, but also improves overall task performance. Furthermore, we devise a {temporal consistency refinement} scheme for query evaluation to address the inherent decay of knowledge in the memory. Through experiments with VirtualHome, ALFRED, and CARLA, our approach demonstrates robustness against a variety of embodied instruction following scenarios involving different instruction scales and types, and non-stationarity degrees, and it consistently outperforms other state-of-the-art LLM-based task planning approaches in terms of both goal success rate and execution efficiency.
