Compositional Training-Free Diffusion Planning for Long-Horizon Multiple Reach-Avoid Tasks
Abstract
Long-horizon robotic planning often requires satisfying temporally ordered safety and visitation constraints rather than a single goal condition. We study multiple reach-avoid (MRA) tasks, in which a robot must sequentially visit target regions while remaining within corresponding safe sets. Existing approaches either rely on explicit system models or use data-driven planners whose test-time conditioning mechanisms do not scale well to long-horizon temporally structured tasks. We propose a training-free compositional diffusion planning framework for MRA tasks that operates directly on a pre-trained task-agnostic diffusion trajectory prior at test time, without requiring a known dynamics model. Our approach decomposes a global MRA specification into local reach-avoid sub-tasks, composes overlapping short-horizon diffusion priors into a long-horizon generative process through a factor-graph perspective, and enforces each local requirement through projection-based denoising during sampling. The same construction also extends naturally to prefix-suffix tasks through a looped compositional graph. We provide a formal correctness guarantee showing that the stitched trajectory satisfies the target specification. Experiments on long-horizon constrained planning benchmarks show strong execution success, substantially lower planning time than representative guidance-based baselines, and effective transfer to richer dynamics.
