So I heard we need more data for robot learning :) Purely real world teleop is expensive and slow, making large scale data collection challenging. I’ve been excited about getting more data into robot learning, going beyond just real-world teleop data. To this end, we’ve been scaling up data generation with RL in realistic simulations generated on the fly from crowdsourced videos. Enables realistic data collection, much more cheaply than purely real world teleop. Importantly, data collection becomes even*cheaper* with more environments, allowing training with over 100x more data. Transfers to real robots for generalizable manipulation. A 🧵 (1/N)

We got a robot to clean up homes that were never seen in its training data! Our new model, π-0.5, aims to tackle open-world generalization. We took our robot into homes that were not in the training data and asked it to clean kitchens and bedrooms. More below⤵️

Real-world robot data is expensive and slow to collect, creating a major challenge for humanoid development. 🤖 The NVIDIA GR00T N1.6 open vision language action model is pre-trained on a diverse mix of data, including thousands of hours of Stanford Vision and Learning Lab’s BEHAVIOR simulation data, which covers long-horizon everyday manipulation tasks. This diverse training is the key to robust cross-embodiment performance and real-world adaptability. 🌍 Read the blog 🔗

We discovered an emergent property of VLAs like π0/π0.5/π0.6: as we scale up pre-training, the model learns to align human videos and robot data! This gives us a simple way to leverage human videos. Once π0.5 knows how to control robots, it can naturally learn from human video.

Vision-language models can control robots, but what if the prompt is too complex for the robot to follow directly? We developed a way to get robots to “think through” complex instructions, feedback, and interjections. We call it the Hierarchical Interactive Robot (Hi Robot).

We asked Angus about the future of robotics and AI training. “I built an industrial-grade kinematic solver for 6 degrees of freedom motion, with full path planning and joint control." "You can stream AI model outputs into it, or run it like a traditional industrial robot." "The benefit of that is all of that information you can stream and record from those joints… you can use that as the training data." "Frankly, moving a robot with a lever is really crap data for training robots. But this gives you smooth, high-quality motion, without needing two robots.”

Robotics has changed dramatically over the last eight years. Ted Xiao has been involved in the cutting edge of robot learning through this period, spending those eight years at Google Brain/Google Deepmind. And he’s identified three eras of robot learning. These eras are: - The Era of Existence Proofs - trying different methods like QT-Opt, on-robot RL - The Era of Foundation Models - transitioning to data collection and clean objectives (i.e. supervised learning) - The Era of Scaling - orders of magnitude more data and larger models, enabling reasoning, long-horizon actions, and cross-embodiment transfer Watch Episode 78 of RoboPapers, with Michael Cho - Rbt/Acc and Jiafei Duan to learn more!

Almost every Data episode is about him learning about a new life experience and this time on Star Trek TNG Data learns to understand suicide. I love the immediate concern Geordi has for Data when he brings up having a similar experience in the past :(

Excited to finally share Generative Value Learning (GVL), my Google DeepMind project on extracting universal value functions from long-context VLMs via in-context learning! We discovered a simple method to generate zero-shot and few-shot values for 300+ robot tasks and 50+ datasets using SOTA VLMs like Gemini (Try out the demo on our website on your robot video today!) I worked a lot on leveraging foundation models as guidance for robots in my PhD, and to me, this result forges a new frontier in how we can use foundation models for robot learning, given its broad applicability independent of embodiment and task types. Quite excited about how we can build on this work as a community!
