CHORUS: Decentralized Multi-Embodiment Collaboration with One VLA Policy
Ria Doshi, Tian Gao, Annie Chen +2
Multi-robot collaboration allows robots to efficiently take on a wide range of tasks, from moving a couch through a doorway to assembling structures on a construction site. However…
Exploiting Policy Idling for Dexterous Manipulation
Annie S. Chen, Philemon Brakel, Antonia Bronars +7
Learning-based methods for dexterous manipulation have made notable progress in recent years. However, learned policies often still lack reliability and exhibit limited robustness…
Curating Demonstrations using Online Experience
Annie S. Chen, Alec M. Lessing, Yuejiang Liu +1
Many robot demonstration datasets contain heterogeneous demonstrations of varying quality. This heterogeneity may benefit policy pre-training, but can hinder robot performance when…
Adapt On-the-Go: Behavior Modulation for Single-Life Robot Deployment
Annie S. Chen, Govind Chada, Laura Smith +4
To succeed in the real world, robots must cope with situations that differ from those seen during training. We study the problem of adapting on-the-fly to such novel scenarios duri…
Commonsense Reasoning for Legged Robot Adaptation with Vision-Language Models
Annie S. Chen, Alec M. Lessing, Andy Tang +4
Legged robots are physically capable of navigating a diverse variety of environments and overcoming a wide range of obstructions. For example, in a search and rescue mission, a leg…
