Deep SE(3)-Equivariant Geometric Reasoning for Precise Placement Tasks

1 code implementation • 20 Apr 2024 • Ben Eisner, Yi Yang, Todor Davchev, Mel Vecerik, Jonathan Scholz, David Held

In this work, we propose a method for precise relative pose prediction which is provably SE(3)-equivariant, can be learned from only a few demonstrations, and can generalize across variations in a class of objects.
