Despite the success of reinforcement learning methods, they have yet to have their breakthrough moment when applied to a broad range of robotic manipulation tasks. This is …
Three challenges limit the progress of robot learning research: robots are expensive (few labs can participate), everyone uses different robots (findings do not generalize across labs) …
The success of deep learning depends heavily on the availability of large datasets, but in robotic manipulation there are many learning problems for which such datasets do not exist …
BACKGROUND Humans have a fantastic ability to manipulate objects of various shapes, sizes, and materials and can control the objects' position in confined spaces with the …
We present a framework for data-driven robotics that makes use of a large dataset of recorded robot experience and scales to several tasks using learned reward functions. We …
We present BulletArm, a novel benchmark and learning-environment for robotic manipulation. BulletArm is designed around two key principles: reproducibility and …
The ability to leverage heterogeneous robotic experience from different robots and tasks to quickly master novel skills and embodiments has the potential to transform robot learning …
Dexterous manipulation is a challenging and important problem in robotics. While data- driven methods are a promising approach, current benchmarks require simulation or …
