RAPID: Robot Agentic Programming from Demonstrations
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.30249v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coding agents have demonstrated enormous success in solving complex programming problems. To leverage their potential for robot systems, this work introduces Robot Agentic Programming from Demonstrations (RAPID), which automatically generates, verifies, and refines robot programs, given a single visual human demonstration. The iterative agentic loop of code refinement requires several key ingredients: (i) a testable task specification, (ii) action primitives for robot execution, and (iii) an interactive environment for program execution and ver
