Ensuring Logic in the Fog: Sound POMDP Synthesis with LTL Objectives
The paper discusses a novel approach to synthesizing autonomous agents that can operate in uncertain environments while following complex temporal constraints. It introduces a sound reward-shaping mechanism that generates belief-dependent rewards based on Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) satisfaction. The proposed method enhances Monte Carlo Planning, allowing agents to effectively navigate partial observability and demonstrating scalability across various benchmark domains.
