Hierarchical Prompting with Dual LLM Modules for Robotic Task and Motion Planning

Summary

Researchers propose a hierarchical language-driven framework using two large language model modules (a high-level planning agent and a low-level spatial reasoning sub-module) to improve natural human-robot interaction for service robots. The system processes natural language commands via ReAct-style prompts, integrates YOLOX-GDRNet for object detection and pose estimation, and achieves an 86% task success rate across 24 test scenarios.

Abstract:We present a hierarchical language-driven framework for robotic task and motion planning to improve natural, intuitive human-robot interaction in service and assistance scenarios. The proposed system employs two large language model (LLM) modules: a high-level planning agent and a low-level spatial reasoning sub-module. The primary agent processes natural language commands and generates action sequences using a ReAct-style prompt, interacting with tools for object perception and manipulation (e.g., pick, place, release). For precise spatial placement, such as interpreting "place the mug next to the plate", a separate sub-prompting module handles 3D reasoning based on object geometry and scene layout. The system integrates YOLOX-GDRNet for object detection and pose estimation, along with a motion execution stub. We evaluated the system in 24 test scenarios, ranging from simple spatial commands to high-level instructions and infeasible requests. The system achieved an overall task success rate of 86%.
