ViPlan: A Benchmark for Visual Planning with Symbolic Predicates and Vision-Language Models

Researchers introduce ViPlan, the first benchmark for comparing Vision-Language Model planning approaches, finding that VLM-as-grounder methods excel in visual tasks like Blocksworld while VLM-as-planner methods perform better in household robotics scenarios. The study reveals fundamental limitations in current VLMs' visual reasoning abilities, with Chain-of-Thought prompting showing no consistent benefits.

Diffusion-MPC in Discrete Domains: Feasibility Constraints, Horizon Effects, and Critic Alignment: Case study with Tetris

Researchers studied diffusion-based model predictive control in discrete domains using Tetris, finding that feasibility constraints are necessary and shorter planning horizons outperform longer ones. The study reveals structural challenges with discrete diffusion planners, particularly misalignment issues with DQN critics that produce high decision regret.
