Prompted Policy Search: Reinforcement Learning through Linguistic and Numerical Reasoning in LLMs

Yifan Zhou, Sachin Grover, Mohamed El Mistiri +7

Reinforcement Learning (RL) traditionally relies on scalar reward signals, limiting its ability to leverage the rich semantic knowledge often available in real-world tasks. In cont…

SAS-Prompt: Large Language Models as Numerical Optimizers for Robot Self-Improvement

Heni Ben Amor, Laura Graesser, Atil Iscen +7

We demonstrate the ability of large language models (LLMs) to perform iterative self-improvement of robot policies. An important insight of this paper is that LLMs have a built-in…

Enabling Stateful Behaviors for Diffusion-based Policy Learning

Xiao Liu, Fabian Weigend, Yifan Zhou +1

While imitation learning provides a simple and effective framework for policy learning, acquiring consistent actions during robot execution remains a challenging task. Existing app…

Task Success is not Enough: Investigating the Use of Video-Language Models as Behavior Critics for Catching Undesirable Agent Behaviors

Lin Guan, Yifan Zhou, Denis Liu +3

Large-scale generative models are shown to be useful for sampling meaningful candidate solutions, yet they often overlook task constraints and user preferences. Their full power is…

Projecting Robot Intentions Through Visual Cues: Static vs. Dynamic Signaling

Shubham Sonawani, Yifan Zhou, Heni Ben Amor

Augmented and mixed-reality techniques harbor a great potential for improving human-robot collaboration. Visual signals and cues may be projected to a human partner in order to exp…

Imitation Learning based Auto-Correction of Extrinsic Parameters for A Mixed-Reality Setup

Shubham Sonawani, Yifan Zhou, Heni Ben Amor

In this paper, we discuss an imitation learning based method for reducing the calibration error for a mixed reality system consisting of a vision sensor and a projector. Unlike a h…
