Abstract (arXiv)

Robot foundation models have substantially advanced perception and control, but natural human-robot collaboration requires more than executing isolated commands. A robot must recognize ambiguity, maintain context across turns, communicate its intentions, and revise ongoing behavior as the user's intent changes. We present scriptstylemathsfLudiscriptscriptstyle 0.1, an agentic system for socially intelligent robots that integrates interactive speech, multimodal reasoning, memory, navigation, and learned manipulation. Its decision-making core is a fine-tuned vision-language model trained on multi-turn interaction traces spanning ambiguous requests, clarifications, corrections, interruptions, mixed social and task dialogue, and multi-step tasks. A purpose-built harness manages the model-tool interaction loop, while specialized navigation and manipulation policies execute physical skills. Ludiscriptscriptstyle 0.1 demonstrates a practical path toward fluid human-robot collaboration today while producing the multimodal interaction traces needed to develop a more deeply integrated foundation model for robots and people.
