Abstract

Planning collaboration strategies for multi-agent embodied systems remains a core challenge for LLM-based planners, which often fail to capture the physical and coordination constraints of realworld environments. To address this, we present EvoCF, an agentic memory-driven evolutionary counterfactual planning framework for discovering improved multi-agent collaboration strategies through counterfactual plan generation and evaluation. First, we propose a symbolic constraint inductor that induces reusable symbolic constraints from failures, forming an evolving rule library. Then, we propose an evolutionary counterfactual plan generator that systematically explores semantically consistent plan variants through rule-conditioned mutations, enabling robust collaboration strategies beyond short-sighted one-shot LLM plans. Finally, we design an agentic memory-grounded evaluator that ranks candidate plans using retrieval-augmented evidence, producing interpretable, constraint-aware selections. Across multi-agent embodied simulation benchmarks, EvoCF consistently discovers more robust and executable plans compared to baseline approaches. Our results demonstrate that grounding multi-agent planning in agentic memory and counterfactual reasoning significantly enhances both effectiveness and robustness.
