Key points

  • Prior agentic robotics runs one round of LLM reasoning per primitive, so a single pick-and-place task requires 24.2 LLM calls and 2.2M input tokens on average.
  • An analysis of the planner's tool calls shows that only 20.5% invoke an action primitive, while memory reads and perception account for 31.7% and 44.3%, respectively.
  • ChunkAct compiles memory into executable chunks per task type in advance, and at test time a single call launches a whole chunk that returns control only upon failure.
  • On the LIBERO-Pro benchmark it attains an overall success rate of 83.8%, the best result, while requiring 2.9× fewer LLM calls, 4.4× fewer input tokens, and 2.3× fewer output tokens.
  • Running the chunks under a scripted driver with no LLM call still reaches 57.5% success, showing that the planner's contribution concentrates on recovery from failure.
  • Applied unchanged to LIBERO-Plus with seven perturbation axes unseen during memory construction, it achieves an overall success rate of 83.9%, confirming zero-shot transfer.
