Chronocooked: A Benchmark for Implicit Interval Timing in Reinforcement Learning Agents

Excerpt

arXiv:2608.16666v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents Chronocooked, a reinforcement learning (RL) benchmark suite for studying implicit interval timing in RL agents. Inspired by Overcooked, the suite comprises cooking scenarios that require temporal decision making. The tasks and reward functions are designed such that temporal information is unobserved yet critical for optimal performance. The environment is intentionally kept simple to enable controlled experiments and support bi
