Excited to release RT-Affordance! We propose conditioning policies on visual affordance plans as an intermediate representation that allows us to learn new tasks without collecting any new robot trajectories. Website and paper: Here’s a short 🧵

We want to make a robot’s job easy by telling it not only what to do but how to do it. Conditioning on language, goal images, and trajectory sketches are helpful, but they present their own challenges. Visual affordance plans are expressive and easy to specify!

Our hierarchical model first predicts an affordance plan and then conditions the policy on the affordance plan. We co-train the model on web datasets (largest data source), robot trajectories, and a modest number of cheap-to-collect images labeled with affordances.

Here’s the big kicker: we can adapt to new tasks and objects by just providing cheap-to-collect example images and annotating them with affordances. No additional costly robot demonstrations or teleoperation required!

Please see the paper for more details. This was my internship project at Google DeepMind. A huge thank you to my awesome mentor @xiao_ted for supporting me and all of my lovely collaborators @SeanKirmani @TianliDing @smithlaura1028 @yukez @DannyDriess @DorsaSadigh!

Did you guys reversed the models names ?

thanks for pointing this out, fixed!
