Affordance Blending Networks

no code implementations24 Apr 2024 Hakan Aktas, Yukie Nagai, Minoru Asada, Erhan Oztop, Emre Ugur

no code implementations6 Mar 2024 Suzan Ece Ada, Hanne Say, Emre Ugur, Erhan Oztop

In an attempt to exemplify such a development by inspiring how humans acquire knowledge and transfer skills among tasks, we introduce a novel multi-task reinforcement learning framework named Episodic Return Progress with Bidirectional Progressive Neural Networks (ERP-BPNN).

Correspondence learning between morphologically different robots via task demonstrations

no code implementations20 Oct 2023 Hakan Aktas, Yukie Nagai, Minoru Asada, Erhan Oztop, Emre Ugur

Discovering Predictive Relational Object Symbols with Symbolic Attentive Layers

no code implementations2 Sep 2023 Alper Ahmetoglu, Batuhan Celik, Erhan Oztop, Emre Ugur

We compare the performance of our proposed architecture with state-of-the-art symbol discovery methods in a simulated tabletop environment where the robot needs to discover symbols related to the relative positions of objects to predict the observed effect successfully.

Diffusion Policies for Out-of-Distribution Generalization in Offline Reinforcement Learning

no code implementations10 Jul 2023 Suzan Ece Ada, Erhan Oztop, Emre Ugur

In contrast to behavior cloning, which assumes the data is collected from expert demonstrations, offline RL can work with non-expert data and multimodal behavior policies.

Meta-World Conditional Neural Processes

no code implementations20 Feb 2023 Suzan Ece Ada, Emre Ugur

To reduce the number of samples required at test time, we first obtain a latent representation of the transition dynamics from a single rollout from the test environment with hidden parameters.

High-level Features for Resource Economy and Fast Learning in Skill Transfer

no code implementations18 Jun 2021 Alper Ahmetoglu, Emre Ugur, Minoru Asada, Erhan Oztop

To be concrete, in our simulation experiments, we either apply principal component analysis (PCA) or slow feature analysis (SFA) on the signals collected from the last hidden layer of a deep network while it performs a source task, and use these features for skill transfer in a new target task.
