Abstract

We introduce AnyUser, a unified robotic instruction system for intuitive domestic task instruction via free-form sketches on camera images, optionally with language. AnyUser interprets multimodal inputs (sketch, vision, language) as spatial-semantic primitives to generate executable robot actions requiring no prior maps or models. Novel components include multimodal fusion for understanding and a hierarchical policy for robust action generation. Efficacy is shown via extensive evaluations: (1) Quantitative benchmarks on the large-scale dataset showing high accuracy in interpreting diverse sketch-based commands across various simulated domestic scenes. (2) Real-world validation on two distinct robotic platforms, a statically mounted 7-DoF assistive arm (KUKA LBR iiwa) and a dual-arm mobile manipulator (Realman RMC-AIDAL), performing representative tasks like targeted wiping and area cleaning, confirming the system's ability to ground instructions and execute them reliably in physical environments. (3) A comprehensive user study involving diverse demographics (elderly, simulated non-verbal, low technical literacy) demonstrating significant improvements in usability and task specification efficiency, achieving high task completion rates (85.7%-96.4%) and user satisfaction. AnyUser bridges the gap between advanced robotic capabilities and the need for accessible non-expert interaction, laying the foundation for practical assistive robots adaptable to real-world human environments.
