Physically Grounded Vision-Language Models for Robotic Manipulation
However, current VLMs are limited in their understanding of the physical concepts (e. g., material, fragility) of common objects, which restricts their usefulness for robotic manipulation tasks that involve interaction and physical reasoning about such objects.
RT-2: Vision-Language-Action Models Transfer Web Knowledge to Robotic Control
Our goal is to enable a single end-to-end trained model to both learn to map robot observations to actions and enjoy the benefits of large-scale pretraining on language and vision-language data from the web.
Decomposing the Generalization Gap in Imitation Learning for Visual Robotic Manipulation
Towards an answer to this question, we study imitation learning policies in simulation and on a real robot language-conditioned manipulation task to quantify the difficulty of generalization to different (sets of) factors.
Language to Rewards for Robotic Skill Synthesis
However, since low-level robot actions are hardware-dependent and underrepresented in LLM training corpora, existing efforts in applying LLMs to robotics have largely treated LLMs as semantic planners or relied on human-engineered control primitives to interface with the robot.
Open-World Object Manipulation using Pre-trained Vision-Language Models
This brings up a notably difficult challenge for robots: while robot learning approaches allow robots to learn many different behaviors from first-hand experience, it is impractical for robots to have first-hand experiences that span all of this semantic information.
Scaling Robot Learning with Semantically Imagined Experience
Specifically, we make use of the state of the art text-to-image diffusion models and perform aggressive data augmentation on top of our existing robotic manipulation datasets via inpainting various unseen objects for manipulation, backgrounds, and distractors with text guidance.
RT-1: Robotics Transformer for Real-World Control at Scale
By transferring knowledge from large, diverse, task-agnostic datasets, modern machine learning models can solve specific downstream tasks either zero-shot or with small task-specific datasets to a high level of performance.
Robotic Skill Acquisition via Instruction Augmentation with Vision-Language Models
To accomplish this, we introduce Data-driven Instruction Augmentation for Language-conditioned control (DIAL): we utilize semi-supervised language labels leveraging the semantic understanding of CLIP to propagate knowledge onto large datasets of unlabelled demonstration data and then train language-conditioned policies on the augmented datasets.
Token Turing Machines
The model's memory module ensures that a new observation will only be processed with the contents of the memory (and not the entire history), meaning that it can efficiently process long sequences with a bounded computational cost at each step.

PI-QT-Opt: Predictive Information Improves Multi-Task Robotic Reinforcement Learning at Scale
The predictive information, the mutual information between the past and future, has been shown to be a useful representation learning auxiliary loss for training reinforcement learning agents, as the ability to model what will happen next is critical to success on many control tasks.
Inner Monologue: Embodied Reasoning through Planning with Language Models
We investigate a variety of sources of feedback, such as success detection, scene description, and human interaction.
Jump-Start Reinforcement Learning
In addition, we provide an upper bound on the sample complexity of JSRL and show that with the help of a guide-policy, one can improve the sample complexity for non-optimism exploration methods from exponential in horizon to polynomial.
Do As I Can, Not As I Say: Grounding Language in Robotic Affordances
We show how low-level skills can be combined with large language models so that the language model provides high-level knowledge about the procedures for performing complex and temporally-extended instructions, while value functions associated with these skills provide the grounding necessary to connect this knowledge to a particular physical environment.
Value Function Spaces: Skill-Centric State Abstractions for Long-Horizon Reasoning
Hierarchical reinforcement learning aims to enable this by providing a bank of low-level skills as action abstractions.

Actionable Models: Unsupervised Offline Reinforcement Learning of Robotic Skills
We consider the problem of learning useful robotic skills from previously collected offline data without access to manually specified rewards or additional online exploration, a setting that is becoming increasingly important for scaling robot learning by reusing past robotic data.
Thinking While Moving: Deep Reinforcement Learning with Concurrent Control
We study reinforcement learning in settings where sampling an action from the policy must be done concurrently with the time evolution of the controlled system, such as when a robot must decide on the next action while still performing the previous action.
Learning Latent Plans from Play
Learning from play (LfP) offers three main advantages: 1) It is cheap.

Goal-Driven Dynamics Learning via Bayesian Optimization
Real-world robots are becoming increasingly complex and commonly act in poorly understood environments where it is extremely challenging to model or learn their true dynamics.
