Abstract
Embodied agents must translate multimodal observations and user requests into executable actions while adapting to product constraints, changing goals, and execution feedback. We present JoyInside-VLM-Agent, a ReAct-style multimodal agent developed through product-conditioned trajectory construction and staged policy learning for robotic platforms and smart hardware. A closed-loop sandbox generates multimodal interaction trajectories covering goal revisions and failure recovery, which are checked against execution outcomes and semantic criteria. Supervised fine-tuning and multi-teacher on-policy distillation precede reinforcement learning with DPER (Dual-Source Privileged On-Policy Self-Distillation with Token-Level Evidence Routing). DPER routes token-level evidence between a frozen privileged teacher and a privileged student sharing the rollout policy's parameters, modulating reward-derived token advantages while preserving their signs. Training rewards combine generative process evaluation, multi-judge rankings, and task-queue consistency. JoyInside-VLM-Agent achieves a BFCL v4 overall score of 77.44, exceeding the evaluated baselines; results on the other public benchmarks are mixed. On JoyInside-Devices and JoyInside-Robotics, the evaluated system, which includes domain-specific skill refinement, leads the baselines on all reported metrics. Two real-world quadruped case studies illustrate visually grounded search, replanning after execution failure, and explicit failure reporting.
