Translation as a Bridging Action: Transferring Manipulation Skills from Humans to Robots

Sijin Chen, Kaixuan Jiang, Haixin Shi +6

We study whether we can learn novel manipulation skills from human actions to a bi-manual robot with parallel grippers. Human action data is cheap, abundant, and diverse, making it…
