Summary

MobiAgent separates execution from a learning loop that discovers and refines reusable skills.

MobiAgent uses high-level planning and visual reflection to compose atomic skills during mobile manipulation, while a second loop segments and verifies deployment rollouts for further training. Specialized control experts share a visual-language backbone. The authors report a 22.5-percentage-point gain over π0.5-TA on BEHAVIOR-1K, with recycled experience improving RoboCasa success from 7.5 to 27.5 percent and Astribot S1 success from 32.5 to 57.5 percent. The reported recovery and learning gains are bounded by those evaluations.

Why it matters

Corrections

: Publication note: This October 4 edition was reconstructed on October 5 after the workstation was offline. It uses original October 2 submissions from the standard Sunday-evening arXiv release, rather than claiming those papers were available for the missed 9 AM run. The date and 9 AM publication slot preserve archive chronology; October 5 developments are excluded. The September 27 Invention Desk is carried over because its replacement was generated October 5.
