TARSphere: A Robot-Oriented Full-Stack Framework for Long-Horizon Embodied Agents in Evolving Physical and Social Environments

We introduce TARSphere, a robot-oriented full-stack framework for physically and socially grounded long-horizon embodied agents.

Key points

  • Robots must act under physical and social constraints while adapting to changes in their environment and human needs.
  • TARSphere-Infra runs robot policies in a physics simulator with embodied NPCs and constrained dialogue.
  • TARSphere-Harness, its embodied brain harness, lets a frozen multimodal large language model (MLLM) act through multi-level executable skills, using observations, hierarchical memory, and execution feedback to revise its decisions.
  • On this foundation, agent-in-the-loop curation aligns task semantics, causal dependencies, and scene geometry to construct TARSphere-Bench: 360 episodes across 30 indoor scenes.
