Simulation offers a promising approach for cheaply scaling training data generalist policies. To scalably generate from diverse and realistic tasks, existing algorithms either rely on large language models (LLMs) that may hallucinate tasks not interesting robotics; or digital twins, which require careful real-to-sim alignment are hard to scale. address these challenges, we introduce Video2Policy, novel framework leverages internet RGB videos reconstruct based everyday human behavior.

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models aim to predict robotic actions based on visual observations and language instructions. Existing approaches require fine-tuning pre-trained visionlanguage (VLMs) as features are independently fed into downstream policies, degrading the semantic alignments. We propose OTTER, a novel VLA architecture that leverages these existing alignments through explicit, text-aware feature extraction. Instead of processing all features, OTTER selectively extracts passes...

Many tasks in artificial intelligence require the collaboration of multiple agents. We exam deep reinforcement learning for multi-agent domains. Recent research efforts often take form two seemingly conflicting perspectives, decentralized perspective, where each agent is supposed to have its own controller; and centralized one assumes there a larger model controlling all In this regard, we revisit idea master-slave architecture by incorporating both perspectives within framework. Such...

Prodigiosin is a promising secondary metabolite produced mainly by Serratia strains. To study the global regulatory mechanism of prodigiosin biosynthesis, mutagenesis library containing 23,000 mutant clones was constructed with EZ-Tn5 transposon, and 114 in showed altered production ability. For 37 clones, transposon insertion occurred on biosynthetic cluster genes; inserted genes 77 belonged to 33 different outside genes. These can be divided into transcription-regulating genes, membrane...

Reinforcement learning has seen wide success in finetuning large language models to better align with instructions via human feedback. The so-called algorithm, Learning Human Feedback (RLHF) demonstrates impressive performance on the GPT series models. However, underlying (RL) algorithm is complex and requires an additional training pipeline for reward value networks. In this paper, we consider alternative approach: converting feedback instruction by relabeling original one model alignment a...

A general-purpose robot should be able to master a wide range of tasks and quickly learn novel one by leveraging past experiences. One-shot imitation learning (OSIL) approaches this goal training an agent with (pairs of) expert demonstrations, such that at test time, it can directly execute new task from just demonstration. However, so far framework has been limited on many variations task, testing other unseen but similar the same task. In work, we push for higher level generalization...

Visual model-based reinforcement learning (RL) has the potential to enable sample-efficient robot from visual observations. Yet current approaches typically train a single model end-to-end for both representations and dynamics, making it difficult accurately interaction between robots small objects.
