Masked Generative Motion Planning with Geometry-Guided Token Search

We introduce Masked Generative Motion Planning (MGMP), which extends the learned prior from efficient parallel generation to structural repair.

Key points

  • Generative motion planners typically use learned trajectory priors for initial generation, while leaving test-time repair to local continuous refinement.
  • A masked generative transformer generates discrete trajectory candidates in parallel, and Geometry-Guided Token Search (GGTS) uses scene geometry to target where to edit and which prior-supported alternatives to evaluate.
  • This turns refinement into an efficient search over discrete motion alternatives, enabling route-level restructuring beyond local trajectory deformation.
  • It further generalizes to unseen layouts, additional obstacles, unseen geometries, single- and dual-arm planning, and real-world Baxter tasks.
