Cortex: Bidirectionally Aligned Agent Framework for Long‑Horizon Manipulation

Cortex introduces a two‑system embodied agent that uses a unified, structured sub‑task description to tightly couple high‑level planning with low‑level execution, enabling robots to reliably perform long‑horizon chemical manipulation tasks by addressing both feasibility and completion judgments through bidirectional alignment, specialized skill primitives, event‑balanced sampling, and extensive simulation and real‑world evaluations.
