This paper from Yonsei University introduces CAPEAM, a framework that enhances embodied agents' ability to follow complex instructions by integrating Context-Aware Planning (CAP) and Environment-Aware Memory (EAM). CAPEAM achieves state-of-the-art performance on the ALFRED benchmark, demonstrating up to a +10.70% increase in success rate in unseen environments.

Key insights

  • Explicitly defining and utilizing a 'context' of task-relevant objects throughout the planning hierarchy significantly improves an agent's ability to focus on correct interactions.
  • A robust, dynamic memory system capable of tracking object relocation, state changes, and past visual masks is essential for agents operating in interactive environments.
  • Combining a high-level context-aware planner with a detailed action planner and an environment-aware memory module leads to synergistic improvements in instruction following and generalization.
