Simulating Human Cognition: Heartbeat-Driven Autonomous Thinking Activity Scheduling for LLM-based AI systems

Large Language Model (LLM) agents have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in reasoning and tool use, yet they often suffer from rigid, reactive control flows that limit their adaptability and efficiency. Most existing frameworks rely on fixed pipelines or failure-triggered reflection, causing agents to act impulsively or correct errors only after they occur. In this paper, we introduce Heartbeat-Driven Autonomous Thinking Activity Scheduling, a mechanism that enables proactive, adaptive, and continuous self-regulation. Mirroring the natural rhythm of human cognition, our system employs a periodic ``heartbeat'' mechanism to orchestrate a dynamic repertoire of cognitive modules (e.g., Pla...
