Abstract

Signal Temporal Logic (STL) offers verifiable task specifications and is crucial for safety-critical control. Yet STL planning remains challenging: exact optimization-based methods are often too slow, and learning-based methods struggle to generalize across varying environments. We propose a zero-shot STL planning solver for variable-map environments that generates feasible trajectories without retraining. By integrating a map-conditioned Transformer architecture with a lightweight heuristic, our approach effectively handles complex disjunctive (OR) subformulas. Furthermore, we leverage Transitive Reinforcement Learning (TRL) to ensure consistent temporal grounding and logical coherence across decomposed sub-tasks. Experiments on dynamic semantic maps with diverse obstacle layouts demonstrate consistent gains, highlighting the framework's superior zero-shot generalization to changing environments and broad STL coverage.
