Bilevel Policies Combine Symbolic Planning with Imitation Learning for Long-Horizon Tasks

other · 2026-05-18

A new arXiv preprint (2605.15975) proposes a bilevel policy framework for embodied AI agents to solve long-horizon planning problems. The approach combines a high-level symbolic policy for efficient, interpretable planning with a low-level neural policy learned from demonstrations for fine motor control. The high-level policy operates over symbolic world models, while the low-level policy handles continuous manipulation. This hybrid method aims to overcome the limitations of pure imitation learning in generating extended plans, leveraging the strengths of both abstraction levels. The paper does not specify experimental results or benchmarks.
