Current approaches lack efficient mechanisms to balance complex reasoning with real-time constraints in robotics control, while recent advances in LLM reasoning haven't been effectively translated to robotics applications.
Entropy-Guided Adaptive Reasoning for Real-Time Robotics Control
Motivation
Recent advances in LLM reasoning have shown that token entropy patterns play a crucial role in effective decision-making, with high-entropy tokens serving as critical decision points. Meanwhile, robotics control systems struggle with balancing complex reasoning against real-time performance constraints.
