用生成式有限状态机提升机器人行为规划的可解释性与适应性。

Autonomous robots operating in dynamic environments require behaviour planning systems that combine reactivity, interpretability, and adaptability. While Large Language Models have been successfully integrated with Behaviour Trees for dynamic replanning, Finite State Machines, despite their widespread adoption and computational efficiency, remain unexplored for generative approaches. We propose a Generative Partially Specified Finite State Machine (GPSFSM) neurosymbolic architecture that utilises the symbolic and semantic structure of FSMs, including states and event-triggered transitions, to implement Behaviour Planning. This paper introduces the first GPSFSM framework for robotics, featuring Fabric, an FSM engine that parses, validates, and executes behaviour plans that contain Sequential, Recovery, Parallel-Any, and Parallel-All control structures. We extend the Capabilities2 package in ROS2 with an asynchronous event system for behaviour chaining and runtime parameter injection for configurable execution, addressing the ad-hoc function representations that limit current generative systems. PromptTools provides a unified ROS 2 interface to local and cloud LLMs, with prompt buffering, enabling dynamic asynchronous composition of task and context information. Together, these components enable standardised semantic capability descriptions for robot-agnostic development. Experimental evaluation on navigation tasks demonstrates that our GPSFSM approach achieves consistently higher plan-generation success rates than the state-of-the-art BTGenBot system, particularly excelling in zero-shot scenarios where BTs typically struggle, while maintaining comparable or lower planning latency to frontier LLMs. We also demonstrate that our system can generate complex behaviours. We release an open-source ROS2 stack that makes generative FSM planning practical and reproducible for robotic systems.
