ModuLoop : Low-Level Code Generation using Modular Synthesizer and Closed-Loop Debugger for Robotic Control

Abstract

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance across various domains, including code generation and problem solving. However, their application in robotic control, particularly in low-level tasks that require precise manipulation, real-time feedback, and environment-dependent execution, remains limited. To address this challenge, we propose the Closed-Loop Modular Code Synthesizer framework. This framework leverages a pre-trained LLM without any task-specific fine-tuning to perform modular code planning and generation, and iteratively executes the generated code while inserting debugging probes to observe its behavior. This closed-loop structure facilitates systematic debugging and refinement, ultimately producing executable control programs. We apply the proposed framework to the calibration of an RGB-D camera and a robotic arm, validating its effectiveness in real-world settings. Furthermore, through a subsequent pick-and-place task, we demonstrate not only the accuracy of the calibration but also the potential extensibility of the framework. Across both tasks, the framework achieved high execution accuracy and autonomy, illustrating the practicality and scalability of LLM-based robotic control using our framework.
