Summary

The method converts generative trajectory uncertainty into a form intended for downstream control decisions.

Diffusion models can produce many plausible trajectories without telling a controller which variation matters. This work structures uncertainty so planning can react to it rather than treat samples as interchangeable. The contribution is a control-oriented uncertainty representation evaluated by the authors, not a guarantee of calibrated risk in every environment.

Why it matters

The method converts generative trajectory uncertainty into a form intended for downstream control decisions.
