This research introduces ImiPath, a framework that leverages spatiotemporal decision priors distilled from historical trajectories to enhance path planning efficiency under partial observability. By integrating these learned biases into heterogeneous planners, the method reduces redundant search expansions and improves navigation performance in environments with limited local information. The approach is further validated through physical experiments on magnetic microrobots, demonstrating practical applicability beyond simulation.
Learning Spatiotemporal Decision Priors for Efficient Path Planning under Partial Observability
arXiv:2607.22166v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Path planning under partial observability remains challenging because an agent must make long-horizon navigation decisions from only locally bounded observations. Nevertheless, historical trajectories contain reusable experience-guided directional preferences. Classical planners, however, typically solve each instance from scratch and lack an explicit mechanism to exploit such transferable decision knowledge, often leading to redundant node expansions and locally myopic search behaviors. Motivated by this limitation, this paper proposes ImiPath, a prior-guided learning framework that distills reusable spatiotemporal decision priors from demonstration trajectories and uses them as experience-informed directional guidance to bias planners toward reliable and promising search directions under partial observability. Specifically, ImiPath first constructs a local spatiotemporal observation representation, which encodes the spatial information of the local environment and the temporal information of historical trajectories. The SpatioTemporal-Attention Policy Network (STAPNet) then transforms this representation into dicision priors. These priors are further incorporated into heterogeneous planners as directional guidance, biasing the search toward locally promising regions. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ImiPath achieves competitive path quality and improves search efficiency by reducing redundant node expansions under local observability. Additional physical experiments on a magnetic microrobot platform further validate the adaptability and practical deployment potential of the proposed framework.
