Neuro-Inspired Inverse Learning for Planning and Control

arXiv:2605.24152v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present a neuro-inspired framework for embodied planning and control. Building on three principles that enable fast and highly effective goal-directed behavior in the mammalian brain - paired forward/inverse internal models, open-loop multi-step motor commands, and sequential, hierarchical organization of action - our Inverter framework uses learned components, trained end-to-end through Inverse Learning (IL) and supplemented where natural by analytic or algorithmic modules; we formalize IL and delineate it from supervised, reinforcement,

Why this matters
Why now
