Learning Without Losing Identity: Capability Evolution for Embodied Agents
Embodied agents are expected to operate persistently in dynamic physical environments, continuously acquiring new capabilities over time. Existing approaches to improving agent performance often rely on modifying the agent itself -- through prompt engineering, policy updates, or structural redesign -- leading to instability and loss of identity in long-lived systems. In this work, we propose a capability-centric evolution paradigm for embodied agents. We argue that a robot should maintain a pers
