ETA: A New Agentic Paradigm for Embodied Tasks

The paper introduces the Embodied Task Agent (ETA) and its open-source implementation, OpenETA. Instead of mapping observations directly to actions, ETA uses a loop in which a Planner selects one Tool call, an Interface controls execution, and the World returns the outcome with a fresh observation. The design is intended to support verification, replanning, and reuse of successful and failed interactions. OpenETA reportedly includes replaceable planners, composable tools and skills, auditable memory, replayable trajectories, and shared interfaces for simulated and physical robots.
