Keypoint Action Tokens Enable In-Context Imitation Learning in Robotics

no code implementations28 Mar 2024 Norman Di Palo, Edward Johns

We show that off-the-shelf text-based Transformers, with no additional training, can perform few-shot in-context visual imitation learning, mapping visual observations to action sequences that emulate the demonstrator's behaviour.

DINOBot: Robot Manipulation via Retrieval and Alignment with Vision Foundation Models

no code implementations20 Feb 2024 Norman Di Palo, Edward Johns

We propose DINOBot, a novel imitation learning framework for robot manipulation, which leverages the image-level and pixel-level capabilities of features extracted from Vision Transformers trained with DINO.

Language Models as Zero-Shot Trajectory Generators

no code implementations17 Oct 2023 Teyun Kwon, Norman Di Palo, Edward Johns

Large Language Models (LLMs) have recently shown promise as high-level planners for robots when given access to a selection of low-level skills.

Towards A Unified Agent with Foundation Models

no code implementations18 Jul 2023 Norman Di Palo, Arunkumar Byravan, Leonard Hasenclever, Markus Wulfmeier, Nicolas Heess, Martin Riedmiller

Language Models and Vision Language Models have recently demonstrated unprecedented capabilities in terms of understanding human intentions, reasoning, scene understanding, and planning-like behaviour, in text form, among many others.

Demonstrate Once, Imitate Immediately (DOME): Learning Visual Servoing for One-Shot Imitation Learning

no code implementations6 Apr 2022 Eugene Valassakis, Georgios Papagiannis, Norman Di Palo, Edward Johns

We present DOME, a novel method for one-shot imitation learning, where a task can be learned from just a single demonstration and then be deployed immediately, without any further data collection or training.

Learning Multi-Stage Tasks with One Demonstration via Self-Replay

no code implementations14 Nov 2021 Norman Di Palo, Edward Johns

In this work, we introduce a novel method to learn everyday-like multi-stage tasks from a single human demonstration, without requiring any prior object knowledge.

Coarse-to-Fine for Sim-to-Real: Sub-Millimetre Precision Across Wide Task Spaces

no code implementations24 May 2021 Eugene Valassakis, Norman Di Palo, Edward Johns

In this paper, we study the problem of zero-shot sim-to-real when the task requires both highly precise control with sub-millimetre error tolerance, and wide task space generalisation.

SAFARI: Safe and Active Robot Imitation Learning with Imagination

no code implementations18 Nov 2020 Norman Di Palo, Edward Johns

We empirically demonstrate how this method increases the performance on a set of manipulation tasks with respect to passive Imitation Learning, by gathering more informative demonstrations and by minimizing state-distribution shift at test time.

Improving Model-Based Control and Active Exploration with Reconstruction Uncertainty Optimization

no code implementations10 Dec 2018 Norman Di Palo, Harri Valpola

Model based predictions of future trajectories of a dynamical system often suffer from inaccuracies, forcing model based control algorithms to re-plan often, thus being computationally expensive, suboptimal and not reliable.
