Abstract
A method for controlling an ego agent includes periodically receiving policy information comprising a spatial environment observation and a current state of the ego agent. The method also includes selecting, for each received policy information, a low-level policy from a number of low-level policies. The low-level policy may be selected based on a high-level policy. The method further includes controlling an action of the ego agent based on the selected low-level policy.
