Abstract

From the paperThe authors' own words.

Vision-language models can interpret instructions and plan manipulation tasks, yet struggle when acting directly as robot policies. On RoboDojo, a large planning-execution gap separates high-level task decisions from physical execution: removing arm execution raises GPT-6 Astra's success rate from 22.5% under the reference control interface to 76.2%. We present Auriga, a task-agnostic agent harness that closes 68.3% of this gap in zero-shot manipulation without target-task trials or resets. In Auriga, the model makes all task decisions over an explicit task belief and acts through either direct tool calls or synthesized multi-step Python programs, while the harness supplies calibrated 3D measurements, finger-referenced dual-arm control, and a single admission gateway to the robot. Before motion, the model inspects a visual trajectory preview while simulation is paused; during execution, the harness checks declared stage tolerances and grasp bounds, stopping the robot on divergence and returning the measured discrepancy for in-place recovery. Developed across 13 cross-task capability iterations and frozen for evaluation, Auriga ranks first on the RoboDojo leaderboard with a 57.7% success rate (64.0 Score), more than doubling the reference harness on the same model, and remains first under scene randomization while learned policies drop by up to 33.9%. On RoboCasa365, the same frozen harness reaches a 73.2% success rate, outperforming VLA-assisted agents by up to 23.1% on composite tasks.
