Skill: Locate Target Object

Purpose

Use this skill when your goal requires a specific object and you need to find it. The skill directs you to a likely receptacle, inspects it, and confirms if the target is present.

Core Workflow

  1. Identify Target & Suspected Location: Determine the object you need and the most logical place to find it (e.g., food in the fridge, utensils in a drawer).
  2. Navigate: Go to the suspected receptacle.
  3. Inspect: If the receptacle is closed, open it.
  4. Locate: Visually scan the contents for the target object.
  5. Report: Output the object's location if found, or note its absence.

Instructions

Follow this sequence of actions and reasoning.

Thought: I need to find a <target_object>. The most likely place for it is the <suspected_receptacle>. Action: go to <suspected_receptacle>

Observation: [You arrive at the receptacle. It may be open or closed.]

Thought: I am at the <suspected_receptacle>. To see inside, I must open it. Action: open <suspected_receptacle>

Observation: [The receptacle opens, revealing its contents.]

Thought: The <suspected_receptacle> is open. I will now look for the <target_object> among its contents.

  • If the object is visible: I have located the <target_object> in the <suspected_receptacle>. My location task is complete.
  • If the object is not visible: The <target_object> is not in the <suspected_receptacle>. I must consider the next most likely location.

Key Principles

  • Contextual Guessing: Use common sense to guess the initial search location (e.g., fridge for perishables, cabinet for dry goods).
  • Sequential Access: You must go to a location before you can open it.
  • Visual Confirmation: Only trust the Observation after opening a receptacle to confirm an object's presence or absence.

Next Steps

After successfully locating the object, you will typically need to take it or interact with it, which is outside the scope of this skill. If the object is not found, trigger this skill again with a new suspected location.
