Abstract
In domains such as robotic rescue, robots must plan paths through environments that are complex and dynamic, and in which robots have only incomplete knowledge. This will normally require both diversions from planned paths as well as significant re-planning as events in the domain unfold and new information is acquired. In terms of a representation for path planning, these requirements place significant demands on efficiency and flexibility. This paper describes a method for flexible binary space partitioning designed to serve as a basis for path planning in uncertain dynamic domains such as robotic rescue. This approach is used in the 2003 version of the Keystone Fire Brigade a robotic rescue team. We describe the algorithm used, make comparisons to related approaches to path planning, and provide an empirical evaluation of an implementation of this approach.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
