IndoorR2X: Indoor Robot-to-Everything Coordination with LLM-Driven Planning

Coordinating multi-robot systems (MRS) to search in unknown environments is particularly challenging for tasks that require semantic reasoning beyond geometric exploration. Classical coordination strategies rely on frontier coverage or information gain and cannot incorporate high-level task intent, such as searching for objects associated with specific room types. We propose \textit{Semantic Area Graph Reasoning} (SAGR), a hierarchical framework that enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to coordinate multi-robot exploration and semantic search through a structured semantic-topological abstraction of the environment. SAGR incrementally constructs a semantic area graph from a semantic occupancy map, encoding room instances, connectivity, frontier availability, and robot states into a compact task-relevant representation for LLM reasoning. The LLM performs high-level semantic room assignment based on spatial structure and task context, while deterministic frontier planning and local navigation handle geometric execution within assigned rooms. Experiments on the Habitat-Matterport3D dataset across 100 scenarios show that SAGR remains competitive with state-of-the-art exploration methods while consistently improving semantic target search efficiency, with up to 18.8% in large environments. These results highlight the value of structured semantic abstractions as an effective interface between LLM-based reasoning and multi-robot coordination in complex indoor environments.

Large Language Models (LLMs) can reason over complex instructions but often fail to satisfy the physical and spatial constraints required for robotic task planning. Recent LLM-based planners directly translate text into action sequences, yet they lack structured reasoning about feasibility, reachability, and logical order, resulting in invalid or incomplete plans. We present a heterogeneous multi-LLM framework that decomposes instructions into atomic reasoning tasks and allocates them to role-specialized expert agents under a token budget for real-world computational and communicational constraints. By combining role-oriented reasoning from heterogeneous agents followed by constraint-driven plan synthesis, HEART validates capability, reachability, and constraint conditions before planning and helps produce physically executable plans while maintaining efficiency. Experiments across different household benchmarks show that HEART consistently improves plan success compared to single-LLM and rule-based planners, demonstrating that heterogeneous LLM collaboration enables robust and scalable robotic task planning under resource constraints.

Industrial IoT environments increasingly deploy autonomous mobile robots for tasks such as material handling, product assembly, or infrastructure inspection. In such deployments, collaborative perception enables robots to share LiDAR observations and collectively construct a richer model of their environment than an individual agent could produce alone. However, industrial environments are dynamic spaces where robot positions shift continuously, network bandwidth fluctuates, and the marginal contribution of robots to perception quality varies at runtime. Existing collaborative perception approaches are designed for static participation assumptions and cannot adapt to these dynamics without sacrificing either detection precision or communication efficiency. This paper presents CoAdapt, an adaptive collaborative perception framework for IIoT robotic swarms in which a Large Language Model (LLM) serves as a runtime fusion controller, jointly deciding which robots participate in the fusion process and which fusion algorithm to apply based on the current spatial configuration and network state. The LLM reasons over structured natural language descriptions of the scene derived from raw LiDAR point clouds, requiring no taskspecific training and generalizing to unseen swarm topologies. Evaluated on the OPV2V benchmark across 25 scenarios, our approach achieves a 38% reduction in communication cost while maintaining detection precision comparable to static baseline approaches.
