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…
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…
Reconciling Reality through Simulation: A Real-to-Sim-to-Real Approach for Robust Manipulation
Marcel Torne, Anthony Simeonov, Zechu Li +4
Imitation learning methods need significant human supervision to learn policies robust to changes in object poses, physical disturbances, and visual distractors. Reinforcement lear…
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…
