2025 MORE: Mobile Manipulation Rearrangement Through Grounded Language Reasoning
abstract
Autonomous long-horizon mobile manipulation encompasses a multitude of challenges, including scene dynamics, unexplored areas, and error recovery. Recent works have leveraged foundation models for scene-level robotic reasoning and planning. However, the performance of these methods degrades when dealing with a large number of objects and largescale environments. To address these limitations, we propose MORE, a novel approach for enhancing the capabilities of language models to solve zero-shot mobile manipulation planning for rearrangement tasks. MORE leverages scene graphs to represent environments, incorporates instance differentiation, and introduces an active filtering scheme that extracts task-relevant subgraphs of object and region instances. These steps yield a bounded planning problem, effectively mitigating hallucinations and improving reliability. Additionally, we introduce several enhancements that enable planning across both indoor and outdoor environments. We evaluate MORE on 81 diverse rearrangement tasks from the BEHAVIOR-1K benchmark, where it becomes the first approach to successfully solve a significant share of the benchmark, outperforming recent foundation model-based approaches. Furthermore, we demonstrate the capabilities of our approach in several complex real-world tasks, mimicking everyday activities. We make the code publicly available at https://more-model.cs.uni-freiburg.de.

2023 N$^{2}$M$^{2}$: Learning Navigation for Arbitrary Mobile Manipulation Motions in Unseen and Dynamic Environments
abstract
Despite its importance in both industrial and service robotics, mobile manipulation remains a significant challenge as it requires seamless integration of end-effector trajectory generation with navigation skills as well as reasoning over long-horizons. Existing methods struggle to control the large configuration space and to navigate dynamic and unknown environments. In the previous work, we proposed to decompose mobile manipulation tasks into a simplified motion generator for the end-effector in task space and a trained reinforcement learning agent for the mobile base to account for the kinematic feasibility of the motion. In this work, we introduce Neural Navigation for Mobile Manipulation (N$^{2}$M$^{2}$), which extends this decomposition to complex obstacle environments, extends the agent's control to the torso joint and the norm of the end-effector motion velocities, uses a more general reward function and, thereby, enables robots to tackle a much broader range of tasks in real-world settings. The resulting approach can perform unseen, long-horizon tasks in unexplored environments while instantly reacting to dynamic obstacles and environmental changes. At the same time, it provides a simple way to define new mobile manipulation tasks. We demonstrate the capabilities of our proposed approach in extensive simulation and real-world experiments on multiple kinematically diverse mobile manipulators.
