LightPlanner: Unleashing the Reasoning Capabilities of Lightweight Large Language Models in Task Planning

IROS 2025

In recent years, lightweight large language models (LLMs) have garnered significant attention in the robotics field due to their low computational resource requirements and suitability for edge deployment. However, in task planning—particularly for complex tasks that involve dynamic semantic logic r

PhysVLM-AVR: Active Visual Reasoning for Multimodal Large Language Models in Physical Environments

NeurIPS 2025poster

Visual reasoning in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) has primarily been studied in passive, static settings, limiting their effectiveness in real-world physical environments where an embodied agent must contend with incomplete information due to occlusion or a limited field of view. Humans,…

PhysVLM: Enabling Visual Language Models to Understand Robotic Physical Reachability

CVPR 2025poster

Understanding the environment and a robot's physical reachability is crucial for task execution. While state-of-the-art vision-language models (VLMs) excel in environmental perception, they often generate inaccurate or impractical responses in embodied visual reasoning tasks due to a lack of underst…
