Behavioral Score Diffusion: Model-Free Trajectory Planning via Kernel-Based Score Estimation from Data

Dimensions overall score 6.0

• Behavioral Score Diffusion offers a model-free, training-free trajectory planner for robotics that uses kernel-based score estimation from data, outperforming retrieval methods. We introduce \emph{Behavioral Score Diffusion} (BSD), a training-free and model-free trajectory planner that computes the diffusion score function directly from a library of trajectory data via kernel-weighted estimation.problem 35%

• ScienceToStartup currently rates this 6.0/10 on the public viability pass. BSD with fixed bandwidth achieves 98.5\% of the model-based baseline's average reward across systems while requiring no dynamics model, using only 1{,}000 pre-collected trajectories. Code availability is flagged in the production record; the public repository link still needs proof alignment.result 35%
