Socratic Models: Composing Zero-Shot Multimodal Reasoning with Language
Andy Zeng, Maria Attarian, Brian Ichter +10
Large pretrained (e.g., "foundation") models exhibit distinct capabilities depending on the domain of data they are trained on. While these domains are generic, they may only barel…
Google Scanned Objects: A High-Quality Dataset of 3D Scanned Household Items
Laura Downs, Anthony Francis, Nate Koenig +5
Interactive 3D simulations have enabled breakthroughs in robotics and computer vision, but simulating the broad diversity of environments needed for deep learning requires large co…
Learning to Fold Real Garments with One Arm: A Case Study in Cloud-Based Robotics Research
Ryan Hoque, Kaushik Shivakumar, Shrey Aeron +7
Autonomous fabric manipulation is a longstanding challenge in robotics, but evaluating progress is difficult due to the cost and diversity of robot hardware. Using Reach, a cloud r…
Mechanical Search on Shelves using Lateral Access X-RAY
Huang Huang, Marcus Dominguez-Kuhne, Jeffrey Ichnowski +7
Efficiently finding an occluded object with lateral access arises in many contexts such as warehouses, retail, healthcare, shipping, and homes. We introduce LAX-RAY (Lateral Access…
Differentiable Mapping Networks: Learning Structured Map Representations for Sparse Visual Localization
Peter Karkus, Anelia Angelova, Vincent Vanhoucke +1
Mapping and localization, preferably from a small number of observations, are fundamental tasks in robotics. We address these tasks by combining spatial structure (differentiable m…
X-Ray: Mechanical Search for an Occluded Object by Minimizing Support of Learned Occupancy Distributions
Michael Danielczuk, Anelia Angelova, Vincent Vanhoucke +1
For applications in e-commerce, warehouses, healthcare, and home service, robots are often required to search through heaps of objects to grasp a specific target object. For mechan…
