More Structure, Not More Capacity: Object-Centric Representations for Visuomotor Imitation Learning

Yi Li, Alexandre Chapin, Liming Chen +2

Robotic manipulation policies rely on pre-trained vision models that give either a global scene embedding or a dense patch grid. Both mix task-relevant and task-irrelevant features…
