让机器人提前预判失败并自动恢复,提升操作可靠性。
From Reaction to Anticipation: Proactive Failure Recovery through Agentic Task Graph for Robotic Manipulation

- 将任务建模为带预设恢复路径的有向图,实现主动防御。
- 在复杂双臂操作中成功率显著提升,执行效率更高。
- 适合需要高可靠性的真实场景机器人系统。
尽管机器人操作已取得显著进展,但在动态非结构化环境中任务失败仍不可避免,现有框架多采用检测-推理-恢复的被动流程,存在延迟高、鲁棒性差的问题。受人类预见性行为启发,本文提出AgentChord,一种基于代理的任务图系统。该系统将操作任务建模为有向任务图,并在执行前注入情境感知的预判式恢复分支,使失败发生时能立即触发针对性补救措施。AgentChord由作曲者(负责构建正常任务图)、编排者(添加预判恢复分支)和指挥者(通过低延迟监控触发预编译恢复动作)协同运作,避免重规划。在多种长时程双臂操作任务上的实验证明,AgentChord显著提升了成功率与执行效率,增强了现实机器人系统的可靠性与自主性。项目页面:https://shengxu.net/AgentChord/
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Although robotic manipulation has made significant progress, reliable execution remains challenging because task failures are inevitable in dynamic and unstructured environments. To handle such failures, existing frameworks typically follow a stepwise detect-reason-recover pipeline, which often incurs high latency and limited robustness due to delayed reasoning and reactive planning. Inspired by the human capability to anticipate and proactively plan for potential failures, we introduce AgentChord, an agentic system that models a manipulation task as a directed task graph. Before execution, this graph is enriched with anticipatory recovery branches that specify context-aware corrective behaviors, enabling immediate and targeted responses when failures occur. Specifically, AgentChord operates through a choreography of specialized agents: a composer that structures the nominal task graph, an arranger that augments the graph with anticipatory recovery branches, and a conductor that compiles and coordinates executable transitions using low-latency monitors to detect deviations and trigger pre-compiled recoveries without re-planning. Empirical studies on diverse long-horizon bimanual manipulation tasks demonstrate that AgentChord substantially improves success rates and execution efficiency, advancing the reliability and autonomy of real-world robotic systems.
