Zonal RL-RRT: Integrated RL-RRT Path Planning with Collision Probability and Zone Connectivity

Zonal RL-RRT is a new path‑planning algorithm that partitions a map into zones using kd‑tree partitioning and employs Value Iteration as a high‑level decision maker. The method achieves a three‑fold improvement in time efficiency over basic sampling methods such as RRT and RRT* in forest‑like maps, and outperforms heuristic‑guided methods like BIT* and Informed RRT* by 1.5× in runtime while maintaining robust success rates across 2D to 6D environments. It also shows on average a 1.5× better performance than learning‑based methods such as NeuralRRT* and MPNetSMP, and has been validated in simulations of a UR10e arm manipulator in MuJoCo.

Neuro-Symbolic Learning for Long-Horizon Task Planning Under Complex Logical Constraints

arXiv:2606. 06877v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Task planning often suffers from severe efficiency bottlenecks when robots must reason over long-horizon action sequences under complex logical constraints, including object affordances, spatial relationships, and sequential action dependencies.
