Robot Learning with Super-Linear Scaling
Marcel Torne, Arhan Jain, Jiayi Yuan +5
Scaling robot learning requires data collection pipelines that scale favorably with human effort. In this work, we propose Crowdsourcing and Amortizing Human Effort for Real-to-Sim…
Residual Off-Policy RL for Finetuning Behavior Cloning Policies
Lars Ankile, Zhenyu Jiang, Rocky Duan +3
Recent advances in behavior cloning (BC) have enabled impressive visuomotor control policies. However, these approaches are limited by the quality of human demonstrations, the manu…
Bridging the Sim2Real Gap: Vision Encoder Pre-Training for Visuomotor Policy Transfer
Yash Yardi, Samuel Biruduganti, Lars Ankile
Simulation offers a scalable and efficient alternative to real-world data collection for learning visuomotor robotic policies. However, the simulation-to-reality, or Sim2Real distr…
From Imitation to Refinement -- Residual RL for Precise Assembly
Lars Ankile, Anthony Simeonov, Idan Shenfeld +2
Recent advances in Behavior Cloning (BC) have made it easy to teach robots new tasks. However, we find that the ease of teaching comes at the cost of unreliable performance that sa…
Diffusion Policy Policy Optimization
Allen Z. Ren, Justin Lidard, Lars L. Ankile +6
We introduce Diffusion Policy Policy Optimization, DPPO, an algorithmic framework including best practices for fine-tuning diffusion-based policies (e.g. Diffusion Policy) in conti…
JUICER: Data-Efficient Imitation Learning for Robotic Assembly
Lars Ankile, Anthony Simeonov, Idan Shenfeld +1
While learning from demonstrations is powerful for acquiring visuomotor policies, high-performance imitation without large demonstration datasets remains challenging for tasks requ…
