POMDPs are great for tackling uncertainties—hidden states, stochastic action outcomes, noisy observations. But they don’t scale. We boost POMDP planning with vectorization + SIMD. In urban driving, we get: ☑️ 9 ms planning time ☑️ SOTA on nuPlan ☑️ no training

In an open world, robots face both uncertainty and unknowns. While POMDPs handle the former elegantly, they break on the latter, where no clear hypotheses exist. So, let's bridge POMDPs with LLMs — bringing structured reasoning to open-world robotics!

The biggest bottleneck for using VLAs in the real world? - Generalization! But it’s not just about changing layouts, lighting, ... It’s: ☑️ Compositionality: A,B,C → combos? ☑️ Transferability: learn a new task from 1 demo? That’s exactly what MINT offers.

Can LLMs alone nail robot planning? No. ❌ Physical constraints ❌ Long-horizon planning (success quickly becomes 0%) ❌ Optimality What if we learn from real-world demonstrations, and turn that into a unified symbolic world model (PDDL)?

An ultimate challenge in autonomous driving is to interact with human crowds. We provide a simulator to facilitate tackling the challenge. Check out our #ICRA2020 paper "SUMMIT: A Simulator for Urban Driving in Massive Mixed Traffic". Youtube video: youtu.be/rF-n52gnMw0
