連続行動空間における蒸留木探索による長期的マルチオブジェクト再配置

原文アブストラクト

Despite recent advances in policy learning, long-horizon manipulation remains difficult because learned policies must avoid compounding errors while preserving future feasibility. While search-based planning can explicitly reason over such future consequences, it quickly becomes expensive in high-dimensional continuous action spaces. This raises a central question: how can long-horizon reasoning from search be transferred into policies in continuous action spaces? To this end, we propose DISCO: Distilled Tree Search over Continuous Actions. DISCO uses progressive-widening MCTS in physics simulation to generate long-horizon plans. During search, a learned policy proposes continuous actions, while a learned value function scores actions by their expected progress toward task completion. Using GPU-parallelized simulation, DISCO periodically distills MCTS-generated plans into the policy-value model, improving the action proposals and value estimates used in subsequent searches. Finally, the learned policy-value model can be directly deployed without the need for simulator-based search at test time. Across simulated and real-world rearrangement tasks, DISCO outperforms behavior cloning, reinforcement learning, and search-based baselines.
