StageGuard: Learning Stage Transitions for Long-Horizon Robot Tasks via Agentic Distillation

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 17, 2026 · UTC

Hierarchical planning frameworks combine skills from multiple robot control policies for long-horizon task execution, where determining when to terminate the current skill and advance to the next subtask is essential. Existing approaches often rely on pre-designed completion signal checkers that are hard to obtain in real-world execution. Large-scale vision-language models (VLMs) offer strong reasoning capabilities, but their decision boundaries are not inherently aligned with task completion criteria, while cloud deployment and lengthy reasoning introduce substantial latency, limiting real-ti
