New framework resolves instruction ambiguity for embodied AI agents

Researchers have developed a new framework called Ask-to-Clarify to address ambiguity in instructions given to embodied agents. This system uses a multi-turn dialogue to ask clarifying questions before generating low-level actions. The framework integrates a Visual-Language Model (VLM) for collaboration and a diffusion model for action generation, with a connection module to condition the diffusion process. Evaluated on eight real-world tasks, Ask-to-Clarify demonstrated superior performance compared to existing state-of-the-art VLAs, paving the way for more collaborative embodied agents. AI

IMPACT Enhances embodied AI's ability to understand and execute complex, ambiguous instructions, moving towards more collaborative human-AI interaction.

    Ask-to-Clarify: Resolving Instruction Ambiguity through Multi-turn Dialogue

    arXiv:2509.15061v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The ultimate goal of embodied agents is to create collaborators that can interact with humans, not mere executors that passively follow instructions. This requires agents to communicate, coordinate, and adapt their actions based o…
