We present a novel planning strategy that, at training time, affords tractable computation of the value of information associated with revealing potentially informative regions of unseen space, data used to train a graph neural network to predict the goodness of temporally-extended exploratory actions. Our learning-augmented model-based planning approach predicts the expected value of information of revealing unseen space and is capable of using these predictions to actively seek information and so improve long-horizon navigation."

+ "summary": "This research addresses the challenge of robots performing sequential tasks in persistent, large-scale environments. Traditional planners often act myopically, optimizing only for the immediate task without considering future consequences. While anticipatory planning can improve efficiency by factoring in expected future costs, it typically struggles to scale in environments with numerous assets. To solve this, the authors introduce a scalable, model-based anticipatory task planning framework. By leveraging a graph neural network and a scene graph representation, the model learns key environmental properties to estimate future costs. Combined with a sampling-based procedure, this approach significantly reduces the overall cost of task sequences in various environments, especially when the robot is allowed to prepare in advance."
