Voyager: An Open-Ended Embodied Agent with Large Language Models
Guanzhi Wang, Yuqi Xie, Yunfan Jiang, Ajay Mandlekar, et al.
2023
Introduces Voyager, the first LLM-powered embodied lifelong learning agent in Minecraft. The agent writes, refines, commits, and retrieves code to continually explore the world, acquiring diverse skills without human intervention.

RT-2: Vision-Language-Action Models Transfer Web Knowledge to Robotic Control
Anthony Brohan, Noah Brown, Justice Carbajal, Yevgen Chebotar, et al.
2023
RT-2 demonstrates how vision-language models trained on web-scale data can be adapted for robotic control. The model transfers semantic and visual knowledge from internet-scale datasets to enable better generalization in robotic manipulation tasks.

PaLM-E: An Embodied Multimodal Language Model
Danny Driess, Fei Xia, Mehdi S. M. Sajjadi, Corey Lynch, et al.
2023
PaLM-E is a multimodal embodied language model that integrates vision and language for robotic control. With 562B parameters, it demonstrates how large language models can be grounded in real-world sensor data for embodied reasoning and planning.

Embodied Question Answering in Photorealistic Environments with Point Cloud Perception
Erik Wijmans, Samyak Datta, Oleksandr Maksymets, et al.
2023
Addresses the challenge of embodied question answering where agents must navigate and explore 3D environments to answer questions. Uses point cloud representations for more efficient perception and demonstrates strong performance in photorealistic simulated environments.
