Shortcut Trajectory Planning for Efficient Offline Reinforcement Learning
Diffusion-based trajectory planners have shown strong performance in offline reinforcement learning, but their iterative denoising process often incurs high inference cost. Consistency-based planners reduce the number of sampling steps, yet they typically rely on a two-stage teacher--student distillation pipeline that increases training cost and may introduce instability. We propose Shortcut Trajectory Planning (STP), an offline model-based reinforcement learning framework that incorporates shortcut models as efficient trajectory generators. STP trains a conditional shortcut trajectory model in a single stage, supports adjustable one-step and few-step inference through step-size condition...
