SARA-RT: Scaling up Robotics Transformers with Self-Adaptive Robust Attention
Isabel Leal, Krzysztof Choromanski, Deepali Jain +11
We present Self-Adaptive Robust Attention for Robotics Transformers (SARA-RT): a new paradigm for addressing the emerging challenge of scaling up Robotics Transformers (RT) for on-…
Revisiting Energy Based Models as Policies: Ranking Noise Contrastive Estimation and Interpolating Energy Models
Sumeet Singh, Stephen Tu, Vikas Sindhwani
A crucial design decision for any robot learning pipeline is the choice of policy representation: what type of model should be used to generate the next set of robot actions? Owing…
Robotic Table Tennis: A Case Study into a High Speed Learning System
David B. D'Ambrosio, Jonathan Abelian, Saminda Abeyruwan +32
We present a deep-dive into a real-world robotic learning system that, in previous work, was shown to be capable of hundreds of table tennis rallies with a human and has the abilit…
Agile Catching with Whole-Body MPC and Blackbox Policy Learning
Saminda Abeyruwan, Alex Bewley, Nicholas M. Boffi +9
We address a benchmark task in agile robotics: catching objects thrown at high-speed. This is a challenging task that involves tracking, intercepting, and cradling a thrown object…
Barkour: Benchmarking Animal-level Agility with Quadruped Robots
Ken Caluwaerts, Atil Iscen, J. Chase Kew +41
Animals have evolved various agile locomotion strategies, such as sprinting, leaping, and jumping. There is a growing interest in developing legged robots that move like their biol…
Safely Learning Dynamical Systems
Amir Ali Ahmadi, Abraar Chaudhry, Vikas Sindhwani +1
A fundamental challenge in learning an unknown dynamical system is to reduce model uncertainty by making measurements while maintaining safety. We formulate a mathematical definiti…
