Grasp-Then-Plan with Failure Attribution: A Closed Two-Stage Framework for Precise and Generalizable Robotic Manipulation

arXiv:2606.03385v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In robotic manipulation, the tight coupling between grasping and motion planning often obscures the true source of failure, leading to inefficient trial-and-error. To enable efficient long-horizon manipulation, we propose GTP-FA (Grasp-Then-Plan with Failure Attribution), a task-oriented two-stage grasp-then-plan framework that generates grasp candidates and performs downstream motion planning conditioned on the selected grasp. Given a failed manipulation trajectory, we learn a failure attribution model that generalizes to unseen grasps and pro

Why this matters
Why now

The rapid advancements in AI and robotics necessitate more robust and efficient manipulation frameworks to overcome current limitations in complex tasks, especially as foundational models improve.

Why it’s important

This development is crucial for advancing robotic autonomy and generalizability by directly addressing a core challenge of failure identification and learning in physical interaction, making robots more capable in unstructured environments.

What changes

Robotic manipulation systems can now more efficiently learn from failures and attribute them to specific components (grasping or planning), reducing trial-and-error and accelerating development of dexterous robots.
