ArXi:2603.07973v1 Announce Type: cross Hierarchical multi-robot exploration commonly decouples frontier allocation from local navigation, which can make the system brittle in dense and dynamic environments. Because the allocator lacks direct awareness of execution difficulty, robots may cluster at bottlenecks, trigger oscillatory replanning, and generate redundant coverage. We propose VORL-EXPLORE, a hybrid learning and planning framework that addresses this limitation through execution fidelity, a shared estimate of local navigability that couples task allocation with motion execution.
