Courteous Anticipation: Improving Long-Lived Task Planning in Persistent Shared Environments
We consider a task planning scenario in which robots sharing a persistent environment are assigned tasks one at a time from a held-out sequence. Standard task planners, lacking foresight of future tasks and inconsiderate of others' constraints, solve each task in isolation, leaving terminal states that increase future cost for all, side effects that compound over lengthy task sequences. To reduce cost over the sequence, a robot must anticipate how its actions now may impact performance on future
