Memory, Benchmark & Robots: A Benchmark for Solving Complex Tasks with Reinforcement Learningcs.AI updates on arXiv.org arXiv:2502.10550v3 Announce Type: replace-cross
Abstract: Memory is crucial for enabling agents to tackle complex tasks with temporal and spatial dependencies. While many reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms incorporate memory, the field lacks a universal benchmark to assess an agent’s memory capabilities across diverse scenarios. This gap is particularly evident in tabletop robotic manipulation, where memory is essential for solving tasks with partial observability and ensuring robust performance, yet no standardized benchmarks exist. To address this, we introduce MIKASA (Memory-Intensive Skills Assessment Suite for Agents), a comprehensive benchmark for memory RL, with three key contributions: (1) we propose a comprehensive classification framework for memory-intensive RL tasks, (2) we collect MIKASA-Base — a unified benchmark that enables systematic evaluation of memory-enhanced agents across diverse scenarios, and (3) we develop MIKASA-Robo (pip install mikasa-robo-suite) — a novel benchmark of 32 carefully designed memory-intensive tasks that assess memory capabilities in tabletop robotic manipulation. Our work introduces a unified framework to advance memory RL research, enabling more robust systems for real-world use. MIKASA is available at https://tinyurl.com/membenchrobots.

How to Build an EverMem-Style Persistent AI Agent OS with Hierarchical Memory, FAISS Vector Retrieval, SQLite Storage, and Automated Memory ConsolidationMarkTechPost In this tutorial, we build an EverMem-style persistent agent OS. We combine short-term conversational context (STM) with long-term vector memory using FAISS so the agent can recall relevant past information before generating each response. Alongside semantic memory, we also store structured records in SQLite to persist metadata like timestamps, importance scores, and memory signals (preference,
