PLEX: Making the Most of the Available Data for Robotic Manipulation Pretraining

no code implementations15 Mar 2023 Garrett Thomas, Ching-An Cheng, Ricky Loynd, Felipe Vieira Frujeri, Vibhav Vineet, Mihai Jalobeanu, Andrey Kolobov

A rich representation is key to general robotic manipulation, but existing approaches to representation learning require large amounts of multimodal demonstrations.

Safe Reinforcement Learning by Imagining the Near Future

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2021 Garrett Thomas, Yuping Luo, Tengyu Ma

Safe reinforcement learning is a promising path toward applying reinforcement learning algorithms to real-world problems, where suboptimal behaviors may lead to actual negative consequences.

Model-based Adversarial Meta-Reinforcement Learning

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2020 Zichuan Lin, Garrett Thomas, Guangwen Yang, Tengyu Ma

When the test task distribution is different from the training task distribution, the performance may degrade significantly.

Learning Robotic Assembly from CAD

no code implementations20 Mar 2018 Garrett Thomas, Melissa Chien, Aviv Tamar, Juan Aparicio Ojea, Pieter Abbeel

We propose to leverage this prior knowledge by guiding RL along a geometric motion plan, calculated using the CAD data.

Learning from the Hindsight Plan -- Episodic MPC Improvement

1 code implementation28 Sep 2016 Aviv Tamar, Garrett Thomas, Tianhao Zhang, Sergey Levine, Pieter Abbeel

To bring the next real-world execution closer to the hindsight plan, our approach learns to re-shape the original cost function with the goal of satisfying the following property: short horizon planning (as realistic during real executions) with respect to the shaped cost should result in mimicking the hindsight plan.

Value Iteration Networks

8 code implementations NeurIPS 2016 Aviv Tamar, Yi Wu, Garrett Thomas, Sergey Levine, Pieter Abbeel

We introduce the value iteration network (VIN): a fully differentiable neural network with a `planning module' embedded within.
