A Closed-Loop Multi-Agent Framework for Robust Multi-Robot Manipulation

Multi-robot systems provide the parallelism and redundancy necessary for long-horizon tasks, while Large Language Models (LLMs) offer the reasoning capabilities to decompose these objectives into actionable plans. However, effectively grounding this high-level reasoning in physical multi-robot execution remains an open challenge. Existing LLM-based approaches fall mainly into two categories: Single-robot methods achieve robust contact-rich manipulation but lack the coordination mechanisms required for tasks spanning multiple workspaces. Current multi-robot frameworks focus on high-level planning, often treating manipulation as an idealized primitive that fails to account for real-world execution uncertainties. To address this, we propose a hierarchical closed-loop agentic LLM-based framework to ensure robust multi-robot manipulation. Our system consists of three specialized agents: the Planning Agent decomposes instructions into allocated sub-tasks, the Manipulation Agent for each robot executes actions via adaptive tool use, and the Verification Agent closes the loop by monitoring physical outcomes and feeding back semantic corrections. Extensive real-world experiments demonstrate that our framework achieves superior success rates, ensures robust adaptability ranging from single to cross workspace manipulation, and offers a generalizable approach for diverse manipulation tasks.
