Hybrid systems are ubiquitous in the real-world, and PDDL+ is the standardized modeling language for capturing such systems as planning domains. PDDL+ enables accurate encoding of mixed discrete-continuous system dynamics, exogenous activity, and many other interesting features exhibited in realistic scenarios. However, the uptake in usage of PDDL+ has been slow and apprehensive, largely due to a general shortage of PDDL+ planning software, and rigid limitations of the few existing planners. To overcome this chasm, we present Nyx, a novel PDDL+ planner built to emphasize lightness, simplicity, and, most importantly, adaptability. The planner is designed to be effortlessly customizable to expand its capabilities well beyond the scope of PDDL+. As a result, Nyx can be tailored to virtually any potential real-world application requiring some form of AI Planning, paving the way for wider adoption of planning methods for solving real-world problems.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.11901v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.11901v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"real-world-planning-with-pddl-and-beyond","repo_url":"https://github.com/SPL-BGU/ActionBasedNovelty","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
