Multiple View Performers for Shape Completion

David Watkins, Peter Allen, Krzysztof Choromanski +2

We propose the Multiple View Performer (MVP) - a new architecture for 3D shape completion from a series of temporally sequential views. MVP accomplishes this task by using linear-a…

Mobile Manipulation Leveraging Multiple Views

David Watkins, Peter K Allen, Henrique Maia +4

While both navigation and manipulation are challenging topics in isolation, many tasks require the ability to both navigate and manipulate in concert. To this end, we propose a mob…

Accelerated Robot Learning via Human Brain Signals

Iretiayo Akinola, Zizhao Wang, Junyao Shi +6

In reinforcement learning (RL), sparse rewards are a natural way to specify the task to be learned. However, most RL algorithms struggle to learn in this setting since the learning…

Learning Your Way Without Map or Compass: Panoramic Target Driven Visual Navigation

David Watkins-Valls, Jingxi Xu, Nicholas Waytowich +1

We present a robot navigation system that uses an imitation learning framework to successfully navigate in complex environments. Our framework takes a pre-built 3D scan of a real e…
