In this paper, we propose EFXPLORER, a constrained exploration framework that maximizes exploration objectives subject to a constraint that preserves established task performance.

TART generates diverse subsequent maneuvers from a tactic codebook.
TART learns temporal action representations for hybrid tactical control.
