Effective Baselines for Multiple Object Rearrangement Planning in Partially Observable Mapped Environments

Engin Tekin, Elaheh Barati, Nitin Kamra +1

Many real-world tasks, from house-cleaning to cooking, can be formulated as multi-object rearrangement problems -- where an agent needs to get specific objects into appropriate goa…
