ExoPredicator: Learning Abstract Models of Dynamic Worlds for Robot Planning

Yichao Liang, Dat Nguyen, Cambridge Yang +7

Long-horizon embodied planning is challenging because the world does not only change through an agent's actions: exogenous processes (e.g., water heating, dominoes cascading) unfol…

From Pixels to Predicates: Learning Symbolic World Models via Pretrained Vision-Language Models

Ashay Athalye, Nishanth Kumar, Tom Silver +4

Our aim is to learn to solve long-horizon decision-making problems in complex robotics domains given low-level skills and a handful of short-horizon demonstrations containing seque…

VisualPredicator: Learning Abstract World Models with Neuro-Symbolic Predicates for Robot Planning

Yichao Liang, Nishanth Kumar, Hao Tang +5

Broadly intelligent agents should form task-specific abstractions that selectively expose the essential elements of a task, while abstracting away the complexity of the raw sensori…

Practice Makes Perfect: Planning to Learn Skill Parameter Policies

Nishanth Kumar, Tom Silver, Willie McClinton +5

One promising approach towards effective robot decision making in complex, long-horizon tasks is to sequence together parameterized skills. We consider a setting where a robot is i…

Generalized Planning in PDDL Domains with Pretrained Large Language Models

Tom Silver, Soham Dan, Kavitha Srinivas +3

Recent work has considered whether large language models (LLMs) can function as planners: given a task, generate a plan. We investigate whether LLMs can serve as generalized planne…

Embodied Active Learning of Relational State Abstractions for Bilevel Planning

Amber Li, Tom Silver

State abstraction is an effective technique for planning in robotics environments with continuous states and actions, long task horizons, and sparse feedback. In object-oriented en…
