Abstract

RoboAware learns a state-conditioned coordinator to select between modular robot skills and frozen policies using counterfactual branching and hierarchical reinforcement learning, improving embodied task success.

Embodied coding agents can combine modular robot skills with frozen end-to-end policies, yet effective composition requires anticipating which policy family will succeed in the current physical state. We present RoboAware, which builds on coding agents' skill orchestration by learning only a state-conditioned responsibility coordinator from counterfactual outcomes. Inspired by the success of REPL, we propose the P^5 schema and formulate a hierarchical MDP based on it. P^5 organizes skills uniformly into five semantic stages, defining where responsibility can be compared. To address the lack of counterfactual branch outcomes in existing work, we introduce State-Locked Counterfactual Branching (SCB), which restores the same training state to generate and execute a code block from each admissible family, exposing outcomes that selected-branch experience leaves unobserved. Building on this, we propose Execution-Aware Learning (EAL), which combines Monte Carlo tree search with Q-learning to distill these outcomes into family-conditioned values. At deployment, the coordinator selects the policy family according to observable context, and the frozen coding agent generates the next local code block. Comprehensive single-episode evaluations on 100 tasks show that RoboAware reaches a 77.0% overall success rate, with SOTA averages of 90.0% on RoboSuite, 73.8% on diverse LIBERO-Pro task clusters, and 90.0% on challenging RoboTwin bimanual tasks, outperforming existing code-as-policy and VLA-harness baselines.
