Desktop cleaning demands open-vocabulary recognition and precise manipulation for heterogeneous debris. We propose a hierarchical framework integrating reflective Vision-Language Model (VLM) planning with dual-arm execution via structured scene representation. Grounded-SAM2 facilitates open-vocabulary detection, while a memory-augmented VLM generates, critiques, and revises manipulation sequences. These sequences are converted into parametric trajectories for five primitives executed by coordin…
