視覚言語モデルを用いた証拠ゲート型タスク・動作計画
Evidence-Gated Task and Motion Planning with Vision-Language Models
視覚言語モデルとタスク・動作計画を組み合わせ、不確かな環境で視覚的証拠を取得してから計画を進めるか判断するフレームワークを提案した。調理タスクで物体の有無が曖昧な場合に、計画前に物体を発見して成功率を向上させ、欠落物体の操作を減らした。

原文アブストラクト
Robots executing long-horizon manipulation tasks from natural-language instructions must reason about both semantic task structure and geometric feasibility. However, under partial observability, the availability of goal-relevant objects may be uncertain. In such cases, approaches that combine Vision-Language Models (VLMs) with Task and Motion Planning (TAMP) may generate subgoals that rely on the VLM's prior knowledge without observational support, leading to execution failures or unintended outcomes. We propose Evidence Acquisition and Feasibility Gating (EAFG), a framework that acquires visual evidence through VLM-generated exploratory subgoals and TAMP-based execution. EAFG then applies a feasibility gate to decide whether to proceed with task planning, acquire further evidence, or halt. Our experiments show that, in cooking tasks with ambiguous object use, EAFG improves recipe completion by discovering task-relevant objects before planning. For instructions requiring an absent object, EAFG promotes appropriate halt decisions and reduces repeated attempts to manipulate that object.
