: a Vision-Language-Action Model with Open-World Generalization

Physical Intelligence, Kevin Black, Noah Brown +33

In order for robots to be useful, they must perform practically relevant tasks in the real world, outside of the lab. While vision-language-action (VLA) models have demonstrated im…

: A Vision-Language-Action Flow Model for General Robot Control

Kevin Black, Noah Brown, Danny Driess +21

Robot learning holds tremendous promise to unlock the full potential of flexible, general, and dexterous robot systems, as well as to address some of the deepest questions in artif…

VADER: Visual Affordance Detection and Error Recovery for Multi Robot Human Collaboration

Michael Ahn, Montserrat Gonzalez Arenas, Matthew Bennice +22

Robots today can exploit the rich world knowledge of large language models to chain simple behavioral skills into long-horizon tasks. However, robots often get interrupted during l…

Generative Expressive Robot Behaviors using Large Language Models

Karthik Mahadevan, Jonathan Chien, Noah Brown +6

People employ expressive behaviors to effectively communicate and coordinate their actions with others, such as nodding to acknowledge a person glancing at them or saying "excuse m…

RT-2: Vision-Language-Action Models Transfer Web Knowledge to Robotic Control

Anthony Brohan, Noah Brown, Justice Carbajal +51

We study how vision-language models trained on Internet-scale data can be incorporated directly into end-to-end robotic control to boost generalization and enable emergent semantic…

Robots That Ask For Help: Uncertainty Alignment for Large Language Model Planners

Allen Z. Ren, Anushri Dixit, Alexandra Bodrova +11

Large language models (LLMs) exhibit a wide range of promising capabilities -- from step-by-step planning to commonsense reasoning -- that may provide utility for robots, but remai…

Deep RL at Scale: Sorting Waste in Office Buildings with a Fleet of Mobile Manipulators

Alexander Herzog, Kanishka Rao, Karol Hausman +37

We describe a system for deep reinforcement learning of robotic manipulation skills applied to a large-scale real-world task: sorting recyclables and trash in office buildings. Rea…

RT-1: Robotics Transformer for Real-World Control at Scale

Anthony Brohan, Noah Brown, Justice Carbajal +48

By transferring knowledge from large, diverse, task-agnostic datasets, modern machine learning models can solve specific downstream tasks either zero-shot or with small task-specif…

Inner Monologue: Embodied Reasoning through Planning with Language Models

Wenlong Huang, Fei Xia, Ted Xiao +14

Recent works have shown how the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) can be applied to domains beyond natural language processing, such as planning and interactio…

Do As I Can, Not As I Say: Grounding Language in Robotic Affordances

Michael Ahn, Anthony Brohan, Noah Brown +42

Large language models can encode a wealth of semantic knowledge about the world. Such knowledge could be extremely useful to robots aiming to act upon high-level, temporally extend…
