| description | Selects appropriate objects from available options based on task criteria. Use this skill when you need to choose a specific object type (e.g., non-living thing) from multiple candidates. It evaluates object properties against task requirements and selects the most suitable candidate for further manipulation. |
Instructions
Use this skill to identify and select an object from a list of candidates that matches a given task requirement (e.g., "non-living thing", "electrical component", "container").
Core Workflow
- Observe & Parse: Use
look around to get a list of all visible objects in your current location.
- Evaluate Candidates: For each object, determine if it matches the task's criteria. Refer to the
references/object_properties.md for common classifications.
- Select & Focus: Choose the most suitable candidate. Use
focus on [OBJECT] to signal your intent and proceed with the next task step (e.g., pick up, move, use).
Key Principles
- Conciseness: Choose the first suitable object unless the task implies a specific preference (e.g., "largest", "closest").
- Verification: If uncertain about an object's properties, use
examine [OBJECT] for more detail before selecting.
- Task Alignment: Your selection should enable the next action in the task sequence.
Example (from trajectory)
Task: "Find a non-living thing. First, focus on the thing. Then, move it to the purple box."
look around reveals: purple box, table, battery, black wire, blue light bulb, red light bulb, red wire, switch, violet light bulb, yellow wire, ultra low temperature freezer.- Evaluate: The
purple box is the target location. The table and freezer are furniture. All other items (battery, wires, bulbs, switch) are non-living.
- Select:
black wire is a straightforward, portable non-living object.
- Action:
focus on black wire -> move black wire to purple box.
