Vision-TL-Action: Neuro-Symbolic Trajectory Generation from Visual Observations and Temporal Logic

Abstract:Temporal logic (TL) provides a compositional language for the formulation of long horizon robotic tasks, but existing TL-conditioned trajectory generators can sidestep perception-to-symbol binding by encoding exact object geometry in the task graph. We introduce \emph{Vision-TL-Action}, which generates action trajectories from multi-view images, a coordinate-free TL syntax graph, and the robot initial state. TL-node tokens and spatial visual tokens are fused through bidirectional cross-attention, and the resulting representation conditions a flow-matching trajectory generator. Visual tokens are augmented only with normalized image-plane locations and camera-view identifiers, while a training-only predicate-to-region objective encourages grounding to referenced objects. Consistent with prior work in this domain, we evaluate the model using Success@$K$, the fraction of tasks for which at least one of K sampled trajectories satisfies the TL specification. On Panda task, our model achieves 67.45% Success@1024, compared with 59.11% for the oracle-state baseline. On AntMaze task, it achieves 96.35% Success@256, comparable to the oracle result of 96.88%. Resolution and intervention studies show that spatial detail depends on semantic grounding and predicate identity affects both attention and performance. These results demonstrate a direct mapping from visual observations and structured TL goals to action trajectories without requiring object geometry at inference.
