X-Planner: Event-Structured Task Planning for Embodied Intelligence

arXiv:2609.25187v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Task planning bridges high-level instructions and executable behavior in long-horizon manipulation, yet modern Vision-Language-Action (VLA) systems often leave this intermediate structure implicit. Existing chain-of-thought (CoT) planners also tend to rely on coarse task-level annotations or serialize long reasoning traces token by token. We present X-Planner, a planning front-end that addresses both the supervision and representation of embodied reasoning. Our planning data combine Ego, UMI, and teleoperation under a hierarchy granularity with source-dependent annotation depth. Takeover-time an
