Consolidating Trees of Robotic Plans Generated Using Large Language Models to Improve Reliability
Jan 15, 2024
The inherent probabilistic nature of Large Language Models (LLMs) introduces an element of unpredictability, raising concerns about potential discrepancies in their output. This paper introduces an innovative approach aims to generate correct and optimal robotic task plans for diverse real-world demands and scenarios. LLMs have been used to generate task plans, but they are unreliable and may contain wrong, questionable, or high-cost steps. The proposed approach uses LLM to generate a number of task plans as trees and amalgamates them into a graph by removing questionable paths. Then an optimal task tree can be retrieved to circumvent questionable and high-cost nodes, thereby improving planning accuracy and execution efficiency. The approach is further improved by incorporating a large knowledge network. Leveraging GPT-4 further, the high-level task plan is converted into a low-level Planning Domain Definition Language (PDDL) plan executable by a robot. Evaluation results highlight the superior accuracy and efficiency of our approach compared to previous methodologies in the field of task planning.
From Cooking Recipes to Robot Task Trees -- Improving Planning Correctness and Task Efficiency by Leveraging LLMs with a Knowledge Network
Sep 17, 2023
Task planning for robotic cooking involves generating a sequence of actions for a robot to prepare a meal successfully. This paper introduces a novel task tree generation pipeline producing correct planning and efficient execution for cooking tasks. Our method first uses a large language model (LLM) to retrieve recipe instructions and then utilizes a fine-tuned GPT-3 to convert them into a task tree, capturing sequential and parallel dependencies among subtasks. The pipeline then mitigates the uncertainty and unreliable features of LLM outputs using task tree retrieval. We combine multiple LLM task tree outputs into a graph and perform a task tree retrieval to avoid questionable nodes and high-cost nodes to improve planning correctness and improve execution efficiency. Our evaluation results show its superior performance compared to previous works in task planning accuracy and efficiency.
Evaluating Recipes Generated from Functional Object-Oriented Network
Jun 01, 2021
The functional object-oriented network (FOON) has been introduced as a knowledge representation, which takes the form of a graph, for symbolic task planning. To get a sequential plan for a manipulation task, a robot can obtain a task tree through a knowledge retrieval process from the FOON. To evaluate the quality of an acquired task tree, we compare it with a conventional form of task knowledge, such as recipes or manuals. We first automatically convert task trees to recipes, and we then compare them with the human-created recipes in the Recipe1M+ dataset via a survey. Our preliminary study finds no significant difference between the recipes in Recipe1M+ and the recipes generated from FOON task trees in terms of correctness, completeness, and clarity.
Cooking Object's State Identification Without Using Pretrained Model
Mar 03, 2021
Recently, Robotic Cooking has been a very promising field. To execute a recipe, a robot has to recognize different objects and their states. Contrary to object recognition, state identification has not been explored that much. But it is very important because different recipe might require different state of an object. Moreover, robotic grasping depends on the state. Pretrained model usually perform very well in this type of tests. Our challenge was to handle this problem without using any pretrained model. In this paper, we have proposed a CNN and trained it from scratch. The model is trained and tested on the dataset from cooking state recognition challenge. We have also evaluated the performance of our network from various perspective. Our model achieves 65.8% accuracy on the unseen test dataset.
A Gray Box Interpretable Visual Debugging Approach for Deep Sequence Learning Model
Nov 20, 2018
Deep Learning algorithms are often used as black box type learning and they are too complex to understand. The widespread usability of Deep Learning algorithms to solve various machine learning problems demands deep and transparent understanding of the internal representation as well as decision making. Moreover, the learning models, trained on sequential data, such as audio and video data, have intricate internal reasoning process due to their complex distribution of features. Thus, a visual simulator might be helpful to trace the internal decision making mechanisms in response to adversarial input data, and it would help to debug and design appropriate deep learning models. However, interpreting the internal reasoning of deep learning model is not well studied in the literature. In this work, we have developed a visual interactive web application, namely d-DeVIS, which helps to visualize the internal reasoning of the learning model which is trained on the audio data. The proposed system allows to perceive the behavior as well as to debug the model by interactively generating adversarial audio data point. The web application of d-DeVIS is available at ddevis.herokuapp.com.
