Robot learning must produce policies that generalize to new combinations of constraints, teammates, and environments. To achieve this, we must structurally factor the policy, which is a choice that dictates what generalizes, what requires retraining, and what remains entangled.
The paper introduces Q-Shaped Options (QSO), a hierarchical reinforcement learning framework that learns action abstractions between consecutive levels using shared encoders shaped by Q functions. QSO employs distinct state-value functions, Q functions, and policies at each hierarchy level, encouraging the low-level Q function to preserve distinctions needed for optimal control while the high-level Q function discards unnecessary distinctions. Experiments on offline goal-conditioned locomotion and manipulation tasks show that QSO learns semantically meaningful option spaces and outperforms baselines, achieving non-zero performance where other algorithms fail.

arXiv:2607. 13028v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training robust autonomous driving agents requires a simulator that is fast enough for reinforcement learning at scale, realistic enough to ground behavior in real-world map structure, and diverse enough to cover the safety-critical long tail that logged data rarely contains.
