## Summary

The authors propose ThinkLocoManip, a whole-body control agent framework for legged loco-manipulation that uses an interleaved reasoning-and-acting paradigm to handle long-horizon tasks in large-scale environments. The framework orchestrates perception, navigation, manipulation, and locomotion as composable tools, and it designs cross-domain coordination skills and a keyframe thinking mechanism to support error recovery. In real-robot experiments, its success rate was 77%, more than double the 37.1% of the strongest plan-then-act baseline.
