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.

Example

Scenario: You need to find a potato for a heating task.
