New method enhances AI plan legibility for human-robot teams

Researchers have developed a new method for creating "legible" plans for arbitrary PDDL domains, extending previous work on legibility to classical planning without needing custom planners. This approach aims to produce plans that best clarify their intended goals from an observer's viewpoint, which can be useful in human-robot teaming scenarios for implicit goal communication. Benchmark results indicate that plan legibility often involves a trade-off with plan efficiency, and a regularizing factor is necessary to balance these two aspects across different planning domains.

    Probabilistic Plan Legibility with Off-the-shelf Planners

    arXiv:2610.00065v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Legible planning is the creation of plans that best disambiguate their goals from a set of other candidates from an observer's perspective. In this paper we propose a method for legible planning for arbitrary PDDL domains, by exte…
