Key points
- They proposed a hierarchical design in which each robot runs a VLM orchestrator (high-level reasoning) and a VLA action model (low-level control) in a distributed setup.
- Robots exchange semantic messages containing intent and subgoals rather than raw data.
- They built RoboPoly, a new benchmark for long-horizon multi-robot manipulation, filling an evaluation gap.
- It consistently outperformed baselines on RoboPoly and RoboTwin, and ablations confirmed the separate contributions of the hierarchical design and semantic communication.
