Efficient Imitation Learning with Conservative World Models

Victor Kolev, Rafael Rafailov, Kyle Hatch +2

We tackle the problem of policy learning from expert demonstrations without a reward function. A central challenge in this space is that these policies fail upon deployment due to…

Train Offline, Test Online: A Real Robot Learning Benchmark

Gaoyue Zhou, Victoria Dean, Mohan Kumar Srirama +9

Three challenges limit the progress of robot learning research: robots are expensive (few labs can participate), everyone uses different robots (findings do not generalize across l…

MOTO: Offline Pre-training to Online Fine-tuning for Model-based Robot Learning

Rafael Rafailov, Kyle Hatch, Victor Kolev +3

We study the problem of offline pre-training and online fine-tuning for reinforcement learning from high-dimensional observations in the context of realistic robot tasks. Recent of…

Obstacle Avoidance Using a Monocular Camera

Kyle Hatch, John Mern, Mykel Kochenderfer

A collision avoidance system based on simple digital cameras would help enable the safe integration of small UAVs into crowded, low-altitude environments. In this work, we present…

Interpretable Local Tree Surrogate Policies

John Mern, Sidhart Krishnan, Anil Yildiz +2

High-dimensional policies, such as those represented by neural networks, cannot be reasonably interpreted by humans. This lack of interpretability reduces the trust users have in p…

Autonomous Attack Mitigation for Industrial Control Systems

John Mern, Kyle Hatch, Ryan Silva +3

Defending computer networks from cyber attack requires timely responses to alerts and threat intelligence. Decisions about how to respond involve coordinating actions across multip…

Reinforcement Learning for Industrial Control Network Cyber Security Orchestration

John Mern, Kyle Hatch, Ryan Silva +2

Defending computer networks from cyber attack requires coordinating actions across multiple nodes based on imperfect indicators of compromise while minimizing disruptions to networ…

A Careful Examination of Large Behavior Models for Multitask Dexterous Manipulation

TRI LBM Team, Jose Barreiros, Andrew Beaulieu +79

Robot manipulation has seen tremendous progress in recent years, with imitation learning policies enabling successful performance of dexterous and hard-to-model tasks. Concurrently…

Contrastive Example-Based Control

Kyle Hatch, Benjamin Eysenbach, Rafael Rafailov +4

While many real-world problems that might benefit from reinforcement learning, these problems rarely fit into the MDP mold: interacting with the environment is often expensive and…
