KinDER: A Physical Reasoning Benchmark for Robot Learning and Planning

Yixuan Huang, Bowen Li, Vaibhav Saxena +9

Robotic systems that interact with the physical world must reason about kinematic and dynamic constraints imposed by their own embodiment, their environment, and the task at hand.…

ExoPredicator: Learning Abstract Models of Dynamic Worlds for Robot Planning

Yichao Liang, Dat Nguyen, Cambridge Yang +7

Long-horizon embodied planning is challenging because the world does not only change through an agent's actions: exogenous processes (e.g., water heating, dominoes cascading) unfol…

PoE-World: Compositional World Modeling with Products of Programmatic Experts

Wasu Top Piriyakulkij, Yichao Liang, Hao Tang +3

Learning how the world works is central to building AI agents that can adapt to complex environments. Traditional world models based on deep learning demand vast amounts of trainin…

From Pixels to Predicates: Learning Symbolic World Models via Pretrained Vision-Language Models

Ashay Athalye, Nishanth Kumar, Tom Silver +4

Our aim is to learn to solve long-horizon decision-making problems in complex robotics domains given low-level skills and a handful of short-horizon demonstrations containing seque…

VisualPredicator: Learning Abstract World Models with Neuro-Symbolic Predicates for Robot Planning

Yichao Liang, Nishanth Kumar, Hao Tang +5

Broadly intelligent agents should form task-specific abstractions that selectively expose the essential elements of a task, while abstracting away the complexity of the raw sensori…
