How to Spend Your Robot Time: Bridging Kickstarting and Offline Reinforcement Learning for Vision-based Robotic Manipulation
Alex X. Lee, Coline Devin, Jost Tobias Springenberg +4
Reinforcement learning (RL) has been shown to be effective at learning control from experience. However, RL typically requires a large amount of online interaction with the environ…
Beyond Pick-and-Place: Tackling Robotic Stacking of Diverse Shapes
Alex X. Lee, Coline Devin, Yuxiang Zhou +18
We study the problem of robotic stacking with objects of complex geometry. We propose a challenging and diverse set of such objects that was carefully designed to require strategie…
Evaluating model-based planning and planner amortization for continuous control
Arunkumar Byravan, Leonard Hasenclever, Piotr Trochim +8
There is a widespread intuition that model-based control methods should be able to surpass the data efficiency of model-free approaches. In this paper we attempt to evaluate this i…
"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…
Modelling Generalized Forces with Reinforcement Learning for Sim-to-Real Transfer
Rae Jeong, Jackie Kay, Francesco Romano +6
Learning robotic control policies in the real world gives rise to challenges in data efficiency, safety, and controlling the initial condition of the system. On the other hand, sim…
Imagined Value Gradients: Model-Based Policy Optimization with Transferable Latent Dynamics Models
Arunkumar Byravan, Jost Tobias Springenberg, Abbas Abdolmaleki +6
Humans are masters at quickly learning many complex tasks, relying on an approximate understanding of the dynamics of their environments. In much the same way, we would like our le…
