If these component motion primitives are constructed according to the criteria we specify, the resulting behaviors are probabilistically verifiable.

Imitation learning has been applied to a range of robotic tasks, but can struggle when robots encounter edge cases that are not represented in the training data (i. e., distribution shift).

One of the main observations we make in this work is that, with a suitable representation learning and domain generalization approach, it can be significantly easier for the reward function to generalize to a new but structurally similar task (e. g., inserting a new type of connector) than for the policy.

In physical experiments, we find a 13. 7% increase in success rate, a 1. 6x increase in picks per hour, and a 6. 3x decrease in grasp planning time compared to prior work on multi-object grasping.

Robotic insertion tasks are characterized by contact and friction mechanics, making them challenging for conventional feedback control methods due to unmodeled physical effects.

The majority of previous work has focused on developing grasp methods that generalize over novel object geometry but are specific to a certain robot hand.

In this paper, we study how we can solve difficult control problems in the real world by decomposing them into a part that is solved efficiently by conventional feedback control methods, and the residual which is solved with RL.
