This work identifies five robotic priors and explains how they can be used to learn pertinent state representations, and shows that the state representations learned by the method greatly improve generalization in reinforcement learning.
State Representation Learning in Robotics: Using Prior Knowledge about Physical Interaction
- Rico Jonschkowski, O. Brock
- Computer ScienceRobotics: Science and Systems
- 12 July 2014
It is shown that the method extracts task-relevant state representations from highdimensional observations, even in the presence of task-irrelevant distractions, and that the state representations learned by the method greatly improve generalization in reinforcement learning.
The Distracting Control Suite - A Challenging Benchmark for Reinforcement Learning from Pixels
- Austin Stone, Oscar Ramirez, K. Konolige, Rico Jonschkowski
- Computer ScienceArXiv
- 7 January 2021
The experiments show that current RL methods for vision-based control perform poorly under distractions, and that their performance decreases with increasing distraction complexity, showing that new methods are needed to cope with the visual complexities of the real world.
KeyPose: Multi-View 3D Labeling and Keypoint Estimation for Transparent Objects
- Xingyu Liu, Rico Jonschkowski, A. Angelova, K. Konolige
- Computer ScienceComputer Vision and Pattern Recognition
- 5 December 2019
This paper establishes an easy method for capturing and labeling 3D keypoints on desktop objects with an RGB camera, and develops a deep neural network, called KeyPose, that learns to accurately predict object poses using 3DKeypoints, from stereo input, and works even for transparent objects.
Lessons from the Amazon Picking Challenge: Four Aspects of Building Robotic Systems
- Clemens Eppner, S. Höfer, O. Brock
- Computer ScienceInternational Joint Conference on Artificial…
- 18 June 2016
This work describes the winning entry to the Amazon Picking Challenge, and suggests to characterize robotic system building along four key aspects, each of them spanning a spectrum of solutions—modularity vs. integration, generality vs. assumptions, computation vs. embodiment, and planning vs. feedback.
MT-Opt: Continuous Multi-Task Robotic Reinforcement Learning at Scale
- Dmitry Kalashnikov, Jacob Varley, Karol Hausman
- Computer ScienceArXiv
- 16 April 2021
A scalable and intuitive framework for specifying new tasks through user-provided examples of desired outcomes, a multi-robot collective learning system for data collection that simultaneously collects experience for multiple tasks, and a scalable and generalizable multitask deep reinforcement learning method, which is called MTOpt are developed.
Conditional Object-Centric Learning from Video

- Computer ScienceInternational Conference on Learning…
- 24 November 2021
Using the temporal dynamics of video data in the form of optical flow and conditioning the model on simple object location cues can be used to enable segmenting and tracking objects in significantly more realistic synthetic data, which could pave the way for a range of weakly-supervised approaches and allow more effective interaction with trained models.
