• Abstract: Diverse planning is the problem of finding multiple plans for a given problem specification, which is at the core of many real-world applications. For example, diverse planning is a critical piece for the efficiency of plan recognition systems when dealing with noisy and missing observations. Providing diverse solutions can also benefit situations where constraints are too expensive or impossible to model. Current diverse planners operate by generating multiple plans and then applying a selection procedure to extract diverse solutions using a similarity metric. Generally, current similarity metrics only consider the structural properties of the given plans. We argue that this approach is a limitation that sometimes prevents such metrics from capturing why two plans differ. In this work, we propose two new domain-independent metrics which are able to capture relevant information on the difference between two given plans from a domain-dependent viewpoint. We showcase their utility in various situations where the currently used metrics fail to capture the similarity between plans, failing to capture some structural symmetries.

• What type of inference is planning? [6.65153939570213]
  We show that all commonly used types of inference correspond to different weightings of the entropy terms in the variational problem, planning corresponds exactly to a different set of weights. We develop an analogue of loopy belief propagation that allows us to perform approximate planning in factored-state Markov decisions processes without incurring intractability due to the exponentially large state space.

  Large language models (LLMs) have recently demonstrated the potential in acting as autonomous agents for sequential decision-making tasks. We propose a closed-loop approach, AdaPlanner, which allows the LLM agent to refine its self-generated plan adaptively in response to environmental feedback. To mitigate hallucination, we develop a code-style LLM prompt structure that facilitates plan generation across a variety of tasks, environments, and agent capabilities.

  We propose a combined task and motion planning approach to optimize sequencing, assignment, and execution of tasks. The framework relies on decoupling tasks and actions, where an action is one possible geometric realization of a symbolic task. We demonstrate the approach effectiveness in a collaborative manufacturing scenario, in which a robotic arm and a human worker shall assemble a mosaic.

  We propose Spatial Planning Transformers (SPT), which given an obstacle map learns to generate actions by planning over long-range spatial dependencies. In the setting where the ground truth map is not known to the agent, we leverage pre-trained SPTs in an end-to-end framework. SPTs outperform prior state-of-the-art differentiable planners across all the setups for both manipulation and navigation tasks.

• Multiple Plans are Better than One: Diverse Stochastic Planning [26.887796946596243]
  In planning problems, it is often challenging to fully model the desired specifications. In particular, in human-robot interaction, such difficulty may arise due to human's preferences that are either private or complex to model. We formulate a problem, called diverse planning, that aims to generate a set of representative behaviors that are near-optimal.
