Summary

EAFG acquires visual evidence, proceeds, explores again or halts before long-horizon manipulation.

In ambiguous cooking tasks, the framework found task-relevant objects before planning and reduced repeated attempts when a required object was absent. The result targets a specific partial-observability failure in vision-language task-and-motion planning.

Why it matters

EAFG acquires visual evidence, proceeds, explores again or halts before long-horizon manipulation.
