Summary

SCOPE turns planner execution errors into feedback for correcting hallucinated scene graphs before they enter long-horizon robot datasets.

Automatically generated task-and-motion-planning data can be repetitive or physically unsolvable when a language model invents inconsistent scene graphs. SCOPE measures scenario diversity while running a planner against each generated scene. Execution failures feed a retroactive correction loop that repairs logical and physical inconsistencies before the example is accepted. In the reported comparison, an LLM fine-tuned on SCOPE data achieved a 12.33-point absolute success-rate gain over a counterpart trained on data from the DELTA PDDL-based generator. This evaluates the authors' generation pipeline, planners and downstream tasks; it does not establish that every corrected scene is physically complete or that synthetic planning data transfers to every robot.
