Broadly intelligent agents should form task-specific abstractions that selectively expose the essential elements of a task, while abstracting away the complexity of the raw sensorimotor space. In this work, we present Neuro-Symbolic Predicates, a first-order abstraction language that combines the strengths of symbolic and neural knowledge representations. We outline an online algorithm for inventing such predicates and learning abstract world models. We compare our approach to hierarchical reinforcement learning, vision-language model planning, and symbolic predicate invention approaches, on both in- and out-of-distribution tasks across five simulated robotic domains. Results show that our approach offers better sample complexity, stronger out-of-distribution generalization, and improved interpretability.

  1. Atomic-Probe Governance for Skill Updates in Compositional Robot Policies

    cs.RO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A cross-version swap protocol reveals dominant skills that swing composition success by up to 50 percentage points, and an atomic probe with selective revalidation governs updates at lower cost than always re-testing ...

  2. Self-CriTeach: LLM Self-Teaching and Self-Critiquing for Improving Robotic Planning via Automated Domain Generation

    cs.RO 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Self-CriTeach lets an LLM generate symbolic domains that supply both chain-of-thought training data and structured rewards, producing a planning-enhanced model with better success rates and generalization.

  3. RoboHarness: Memory-Driven Orchestration of Heterogeneous Robot Policies for Long-Horizon Planning

    cs.RO 2026-07 reject novelty 6.0

    RoboHarness combines VLAs, RL policies, and TAMP planners via an LLM router and a memory-bridge handoff, reporting 95.2% average success on long-horizon LIBERO-LoHo versus 64.8% for the best baseline.

  4. Atomic-Probe Governance for Skill Updates in Compositional Robot Policies

    cs.RO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Empirical study on robosuite tasks reveals a dominant-skill effect in compositions and shows that an atomic probe approximates full revalidation for skill updates at much lower cost.
