AEROS is a robotic operating architecture that models a robot as a single persistent intelligent agent whose capabilities are extended by installable Embodied Capability Modules (ECMs). This architecture achieved 100% task success rates in simulation under high failure conditions, outperforming baseline approaches by enabling dynamic re-planning and robust recovery mechanisms while enforcing safety through a policy-separated runtime.

Key insights

  • Modeling a robot as a single, persistent intelligent agent with unified decision authority provides coherence and simplifies reasoning about complex system behavior.
  • Decoupling capability logic from execution policies allows for dynamic extension of robot functionality through installable modules while maintaining robust system-level safety.
  • Combining dynamic re-planning and explicit recovery actions within a closed-loop architecture significantly enhances task success and resilience against stochastic failures.
