RoboCade: Gamifying Robot Data Collection
Suvir Mirchandani, Mia Tang, Jiafei Duan +3
Imitation learning from human demonstrations has become a dominant approach for training autonomous robot policies. However, collecting demonstration datasets is costly: it often r…
Towards Embodiment Scaling Laws in Robot Locomotion
Bo Ai, Liu Dai, Nico Bohlinger +7
Cross-embodiment generalization underpins the vision of building generalist embodied agents for any robot, yet its enabling factors remain poorly understood. We investigate embodim…
RoboCrowd: Scaling Robot Data Collection through Crowdsourcing
Suvir Mirchandani, David D. Yuan, Kaylee Burns +4
In recent years, imitation learning from large-scale human demonstrations has emerged as a promising paradigm for training robot policies. However, the burden of collecting large q…
Training Strategies for Efficient Embodied Reasoning
William Chen, Suneel Belkhale, Suvir Mirchandani +4
Robot chain-of-thought reasoning (CoT) -- wherein a model predicts helpful intermediate representations before choosing actions -- provides an effective method for improving the ge…
What Matters for Batch Online Reinforcement Learning in Robotics?
Perry Dong, Suvir Mirchandani, Dorsa Sadigh +1
The ability to learn from large batches of autonomously collected data for policy improvement -- a paradigm we refer to as batch online reinforcement learning -- holds the promise…
Robot Data Curation with Mutual Information Estimators
Joey Hejna, Suvir Mirchandani, Ashwin Balakrishna +7
The performance of imitation learning policies often hinges on the datasets with which they are trained. Consequently, investment in data collection for robotics has grown across b…
