TIDE: A Trace-Informed Depth-First Exploration for Planning with Temporally Extended Goals

  • 将复杂目标拆解为可由现成规划器求解的逐段可达-避让子问题
  • 基于成本启发优先探索有希望的自动机路径,提升规划效率
  • 自适应回溯机制能恢复失败计划,适合需要长期规划的机器人系统

具有时间扩展目标(TEGs)的任务规划是人工智能与机器人领域的重要挑战,使智能体能够完成一系列随时间演进的复杂目标,而非仅处理孤立的即时任务。有限轨迹上的线性时序逻辑(LTLf)提供了编码这些时间目标的稳健形式化方法。传统LTLf任务规划方法通常将时间规划问题转化为经典规划中的可达性目标,再使用现成规划器求解。然而,这些方法常缺乏指导性启发式,难以有效搜索时间目标。本文提出TIDE(Trace-Informed Depth-first Exploration),通过将时间规划问题分解为一系列更小、可管理的可达-避让子问题,每个子问题均可由现成规划器求解。TIDE在领域图中识别并优先处理有希望的自动机轨迹,利用成本驱动启发式引导探索。其自适应回溯机制可系统性地从失败计划中恢复,重新计算成本并惩罚不可行转移,确保完备性与效率。实验结果表明,TIDE表现出色,是时间扩展目标规划方法的重要补充。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Task planning with temporally extended goals (TEGs) is a critical challenge in AI and robotics, enabling agents to achieve complex sequences of objectives over time rather than addressing isolated, immediate tasks. Linear Temporal Logic on finite traces (LTLf ) provides a robust formalism for encoding these temporal goals. Traditional LTLf task planning approaches often transform the temporal planning problem into a classical planning problem with reachability goals, which are then solved using off-the-shelf planners. However, these methods often lack informed heuristics to provide a guided search for temporal goals. We introduce TIDE (Trace-Informed Depth-first Exploration), a novel approach that addresses this limitation by decomposing a temporal problem into a sequence of smaller, manageable reach-avoid sub-problems, each solvable using an off-the-shelf planner. TIDE identifies and prioritizes promising automaton traces within the domain graph, using cost-driven heuristics to guide exploration. Its adaptive backtracking mechanism systematically recovers from failed plans by recalculating costs and penalizing infeasible transitions, ensuring completeness and efficiency. Experimental results demonstrate that TIDE achieves promising performance and is a valuable addition to the portfolio of planning methods for temporally extended goals.
