Superhuman Safe and Agile Racing through Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
Ismail Geles, Leonard Bauersfeld, Markus Wulfmeier +1
Autonomous systems have achieved superhuman performance in isolation or simulation, yet they remain brittle in shared, dynamic real-world spaces. This failure stems from the domina…
What Matters for Simulation to Online Reinforcement Learning on Real Robots
Yarden As, Dhruva Tirumala, René Zurbrügg +4
We investigate what specific design choices enable successful online reinforcement learning (RL) on physical robots. Across 100 real-world training runs on three distinct robotic p…
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…
Learning Robot Soccer from Egocentric Vision with Deep Reinforcement Learning
Dhruva Tirumala, Markus Wulfmeier, Ben Moran +13
We apply multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (RL) to train end-to-end robot soccer policies with fully onboard computation and sensing via egocentric RGB vision. This setting r…
Real-World Fluid Directed Rigid Body Control via Deep Reinforcement Learning
Mohak Bhardwaj, Thomas Lampe, Michael Neunert +6
Recent advances in real-world applications of reinforcement learning (RL) have relied on the ability to accurately simulate systems at scale. However, domains such as fluid dynamic…
Mastering Stacking of Diverse Shapes with Large-Scale Iterative Reinforcement Learning on Real Robots
Thomas Lampe, Abbas Abdolmaleki, Sarah Bechtle +12
Reinforcement learning solely from an agent's self-generated data is often believed to be infeasible for learning on real robots, due to the amount of data needed. However, if done…
Real Robot Challenge 2022: Learning Dexterous Manipulation from Offline Data in the Real World
Nico Gürtler, Felix Widmaier, Cansu Sancaktar +21
Experimentation on real robots is demanding in terms of time and costs. For this reason, a large part of the reinforcement learning (RL) community uses simulators to develop and be…
Towards A Unified Agent with Foundation Models
Norman Di Palo, Arunkumar Byravan, Leonard Hasenclever +3
Language Models and Vision Language Models have recently demonstrated unprecedented capabilities in terms of understanding human intentions, reasoning, scene understanding, and pla…
Learning Agile Soccer Skills for a Bipedal Robot with Deep Reinforcement Learning
Tuomas Haarnoja, Ben Moran, Guy Lever +25
We investigate whether Deep Reinforcement Learning (Deep RL) is able to synthesize sophisticated and safe movement skills for a low-cost, miniature humanoid robot that can be compo…
Forgetting and Imbalance in Robot Lifelong Learning with Off-policy Data
Wenxuan Zhou, Steven Bohez, Jan Humplik +5
Robots will experience non-stationary environment dynamics throughout their lifetime: the robot dynamics can change due to wear and tear, or its surroundings may change over time.…
Imitate and Repurpose: Learning Reusable Robot Movement Skills From Human and Animal Behaviors
Steven Bohez, Saran Tunyasuvunakool, Philemon Brakel +18
We investigate the use of prior knowledge of human and animal movement to learn reusable locomotion skills for real legged robots. Our approach builds upon previous work on imitati…
Wish you were here: Hindsight Goal Selection for long-horizon dexterous manipulation
Todor Davchev, Oleg Sushkov, Jean-Baptiste Regli +4
Complex sequential tasks in continuous-control settings often require agents to successfully traverse a set of "narrow passages" in their state space. Solving such tasks with a spa…
"What, not how": Solving an under-actuated insertion task from scratch
Giulia Vezzani, Michael Neunert, Markus Wulfmeier +7
Robot manipulation requires a complex set of skills that need to be carefully combined and coordinated to solve a task. Yet, most ReinforcementLearning (RL) approaches in robotics…
Towards General and Autonomous Learning of Core Skills: A Case Study in Locomotion
Roland Hafner, Tim Hertweck, Philipp Klöppner +6
Modern Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms promise to solve difficult motor control problems directly from raw sensory inputs. Their attraction is due in part to the fact that t…
Addressing Appearance Change in Outdoor Robotics with Adversarial Domain Adaptation
Markus Wulfmeier, Alex Bewley, Ingmar Posner
Appearance changes due to weather and seasonal conditions represent a strong impediment to the robust implementation of machine learning systems in outdoor robotics. While supervis…
Incorporating Human Domain Knowledge into Large Scale Cost Function Learning
Markus Wulfmeier, Dushyant Rao, Ingmar Posner
Recent advances have shown the capability of Fully Convolutional Neural Networks (FCN) to model cost functions for motion planning in the context of learning driving preferences pu…
Watch This: Scalable Cost-Function Learning for Path Planning in Urban Environments
Markus Wulfmeier, Dominic Zeng Wang, Ingmar Posner
In this work, we present an approach to learn cost maps for driving in complex urban environments from a very large number of demonstrations of driving behaviour by human experts.…
