MobiAgent: Dual-Loop Recursive Policy Self-Improvement for Long-Horizon Mobile Manipulation

Chenzhi Liu, Yue Zhang, Jiehong Lin, Jianan Wang, Bo Wang +2

Long-horizon mobile manipulation presents significant challenges due to compounding execution errors and capacity interference between locomotion and arm control. While recent Vision-Language-Action models excel at short-horizon tasks, they lack the hierarchical reasoning required for multi-stage objectives. Furthermore, existing hierarchical agents suffer from rigid sub-task mapping, inflexible replanning, and a lack of continuous learning. To address these limitations, we introduce MobiAgent, a dual-loop agentic framework that bridges robust deployment execution and recursive policy self-improvement. During deployment, the Inner Loop decouples high-level reasoning from low-level control through highly composable atomic skills. It employs Vision-Language models for receding-horizon planning and visual reflection, dynamically composing skills to ensure robust error recovery. These skills are executed by specialized flow-matching experts that share a unified VLM backbone, maximizing reusability while mitigating capacity interference. Concurrently, the Outer Loop drives automated lifelong learning by autonomously segmenting and verifying deployment rollouts, clustering them to…
