Abstract
ltl_f reactive synthesis under environment specifications, which concerns the automated generation of strategies enforcing logical specifications, has emerged as a powerful technique for developing autonomous AI systems. It shares many similarities with Fully Observable Nondeterministic (fond) planning. In particular, nondeterministic domains can be expressed as ltl<inf>f</inf> environment specifications. However, this is not needed since nondeterministic domains can be transformed into deterministic finite-state automata (dfa) to be used directly in the synthesis process. In this paper, we present a practical symbolic technique for translating domains expressed in Planning Domain Definition Language (pddl) into dfas. The technique allows for the integration of the planning domain, reduced to dfa in a symbolic form, into current symbolic ltl<inf>f</inf> synthesis tools. We implemented our technique in a new tool, pddl2dfa, and applied it to solve fond planning by using state-of-the-art reactive synthesis techniques in a tool called syft4fond. Our empirical results confirm the effectiveness of our approach.
