State-Action Inpainting Diffuser for Continuous Control with Delay

Description

Signal delay poses a fundamental challenge in continuous control and reinforcement learning (RL) by introducing a temporal gap between interaction and perception. Current solutions have largely evolved along two distinct paradigms: model-free approaches which utilize state augmentation to preserve Markovian properties, and model-based methods which focus on inferring latent beliefs via dynamics modeling. In this paper, we bridge these perspectives by introducing State-Action Inpainting Diffuser
