Multi-robot systems provide the parallelism and redundancy necessary for long-horizon tasks, while Large Language Models (LLMs) offer the reasoning capabilities to decompose these objectives into actionable plans. However, effectively grounding this high-level reasoning in physical multi-robot execution remains an open challenge. Existing LLM-based approaches fall mainly into two categories: Single-robot methods achieve robust contact-rich manipulation but lack the coordination mechanisms required for tasks spanning multiple workspaces. Current multi-robot frameworks focus on high-level planning, often treating manipulation as an idealized primitive that fails to account for real-world execution uncertainties. To address this, we propose a hierarchical closed-loop agentic LLM-based framework to ensure robust multi-robot manipulation. Our system consists of three specialized agents: the Planning Agent decomposes instructions into allocated sub-tasks, the Manipulation Agent for each robot executes actions via adaptive tool use, and the Verification Agent closes the loop by monitoring physical outcomes and feeding back semantic corrections. Extensive real-world experiments demonstrate that our framework achieves superior success rates, ensures robust adaptability ranging from single to cross workspace manipulation, and offers a generalizable approach for diverse manipulation tasks.

In this paper, we explore spatial-aware humanoid whole-body manipulation task. Compared with tabletop settings, this task poses two key challenges: 1) Spatial understanding is challenging in complex 3D environments with diverse spatial relations. 2) Action generation is difficult to generalize, as limited and costly real-robot data restricts data-driven models generalization. To address these challenges, we propose a generalizable humanoid loco-manipulation framework that leverages the spatial perception and action generation capabilities of multi-agent large models. Specifically, our framework includes two components: Active Spatial Brain for active spatial perception and decision-making, and Generalizable Action Cerebellum for executable robot action generation. The first component actively perceives the spatial scene and makes decisions on task planning and subtask decomposition. The second component generate executable robot actions based on the decisions made by the first module without needs of task-specific real robot data. To benchmark our framework, we design a set of spatial manipulation tasks from two perspectives: evaluating spatial perception and understanding, and assessing real-robot task performance. The results demonstrate strong performance on both aspects across diverse tasks and environments.
