## Summary

The study proposes a multimodal framework that uses large language models and vision-language models to translate human purposes expressed in natural language into robot missions and drives, aligning the behavior of open-ended learning autonomous robots with human intent. The system has three layers—semantic alignment, mission generation, and drive modeling—forming a bidirectional interaction loop in which human input defines high-level purposes, the robot expands them into executable missions, and feedback maintains alignment. Simulation and physical robot experiments show that the pipeline can generate effective missions and behaviors.
