Mimir is introduced, a neuro-symbolic memory that separates world memory from task memory and dynamically grounds them before each action, substantially outperforming current closed-source models.
Abstract
Long-horizon embodied task requires agents to act under partial observability while preserving both scene belief and execution progress. Flat histories or implicit policy states may contain past observations, but they do not provide an explicit interface for deciding which world facts support the currently active goal. We introduce Mimir, a neuro-symbolic memory that separates world memory from task memory and dynamically grounds them before each action. World memory maintains object locations, object states, and perceptual evidence, while task memory maintains an ordered goal agenda, progress state, hand state, failures, and execution constraints. A grounding module binds the active goal to recalled world candidates, fills missing source locations, and attaches evidence before planning and embodiment-specific execution. Across tested backbones, Mimir consistently improves on different EB-ALFRED and EB-Habitat tasks, with maximum gains of 42.5% and average gains of 23.0%, respectively. Compared with the best results among prior agent and memory systems evaluated under the same backbone, Mimir improves the overall average success rate by 8.5%. Finally, on the EB-Habitat Long-horizon subset, Mimir achieves 86.0% success rate, substantially outperforming current closed-source models. Our code will be released soon.
A neurosymbolic agent that factors long-horizon household tasks into task-directed visual exploration and constrained symbolic planning and evaluates executable continuations using a domain-independent planning heuristic is presented.

Long-horizon robot planning requires more than predicting what actions will do next; it also requires memory of the embodied experience that makes future goals interpretable. People do not plan from the present scene alone: they draw on remembered places, object-state changes, prior procedures, and regularities revealed through repeated action. We formulate Embodied Action Memory (EAM) as the capability to form, maintain, and use such experience as a persistent memory state for later decisions. MEMORA realizes EAM with a formation-consolidation-retrieval lifecycle and four typed stores: Environment Memory, Entity Memory, Activity Memory, and Inferred Knowledge. Online editing maintains object identities and state histories as new observations arrive; offline consolidation abstracts repeated experience into reusable procedures and participant-specific regularities. MEMORA-Bench evaluates this lifecycle on 45 hours of EPIC-KITCHENS-100 extension video across 18 participants through memory-grounded planning, including previously unseen goals, and a complementary memory-assessment task. Across four open-weight language models, full MEMORA--combining editing, typed stores, and consolidation--achieves the strongest aggregate results among the evaluated memory conditions. It improves memory-assessment accuracy by up to 20.5 points over the strongest controlled baseline and improves out-of-distribution Robot-Grounded Plan score by up to 16.6% relative. A qualitative two-task robot deployment study further illustrates how memory-grounded language plans can interface with downstream control, while the overall results show that editable, consolidated memory can supply remembered context for robot planning.

HiMe is proposed, a Hierarchical Embodied Memory framework that decouples embodied intelligence into a high-frequency Executor for execution, a Sentry for working memory, and a Planner for long-term strategy, and introduces a dynamic knowledge system based on cross-modal semantic schemas and active management mechanisms.

In long-horizon tasks, decision-relevant state is often scattered across an expanding trajectory, while the action agent must surface it and act. As trajectories grow, task requirements, environment facts, prior attempts, diagnoses, and open subgoals can be buried in the context window or pushed beyond it, failing to influence decisions when needed. We call this failure mode"behavioral state decay". We study memory as an active intervention mechanism rather than passive retrieval. A separate memory agent runs alongside an unmodified action agent, updating a structured memory bank from the recent trajectory and deciding whether to inject a memory-grounded reminder or remain silent. The module is plug-and-play with frontier action agents and existing agent harnesses. Across Terminal-Bench 2.0 and $\tau^2$-Bench, it improves pass@1 for both weaker and stronger action agents, with gains of +8.3 pp on Terminal-Bench and +6.8 pp on $\tau^2$-Bench. Ablations show that selective intervention outperforms passive bank exposure, always-on injection, advisor-only guidance, and general retrieval. As an early step toward open-weight memory policies, we train Qwen3.5-27B on SETA using SFT and GRPO, improving validation reward and achieving partial transfer to Terminal-Bench.

World Action Models (WAMs) offer a promising paradigm for robotic manipulation by jointly modeling visual state transitions and robot actions. However, existing WAMs are constrained by limited temporal context, coarse episode-level language supervision, and predominantly text-only conditioning, which hinder task-progress tracking and fine-grained language-video-action grounding while limiting visual-context reasoning and cross-embodiment transfer. In this paper, we introduce WorldScape Policy 2.0, a controllable WAM with reasoning-augmented long short-term memory. Its causal short-term visual memory supplies recent observations as DiT prefill to preserve local interaction dynamics, while its long short-term event memory organizes historical VLM outputs into global-history, local-active, and event-boundary representations for progress-aware retrieval. The retrieved history augments perception and autoregressively generated planning tokens, yielding an implicit subgoal condition for autonomous planning; semantic forcing further transfers event-level instruction semantics into this latent planning pathway. To establish fine-grained multimodal controllability, we construct ManipEvent-5M, an event-grounded embodied pretraining dataset containing nearly 5 million event segments with aligned action trajectories, episode-level task instructions, segment-level subtask captions, goal images, and video demonstrations. These designs provide a unified interface for autonomous planning from high-level instructions and controllable execution from fine-grained text, goal-image, or video-context prompts. Experiments in both simulation and real-world platforms demonstrate superior capabilities in long-horizon autonomous planning, fine-grained instruction following and in-context adaptation.

Results demonstrate that model-external structured state maintenance and closed-loop agentic decision making can effectively extend the local control capabilities of WAMs into embodied task execution that is plannable, verifiable, and recoverable.
