🤖What if a robot could perform a new task just from a natural language command, with zero demonstrations? Our new work, NovaFlow, makes it possible! We use pre-trained video generative model to create a video of the task, then translate it into a plan for real-world robot execution. 1/6... show more

We start by giving a video model a text prompt like "hang the mug." It generates a short clip of a human performing the task, acting as a visual instruction manual. This video provides the commonsense physical knowledge needed for the robot to understand the motion. 🎥 2/6

The generated video is 2D, so how does the robot understand 3D space? We lift it! 📏 A monocular video depth estimation model predicts depth for every frame. Then, we calibrate it with the robot's real-world depth camera for precise spatial awareness. 3/6

🤔 But how do you bridge the gap between that video and physical control? We introduce "actionable 3D object flow," a novel representation distilled from the video that guides the robot’s motion for complex rigid, articulated, and even deformable objects. 🌟 4/6

NovaFlow shows incredible generalization. From rigid blocks to deformable ropes, on both a tabletop arm and a mobile Spot! It adapts to new objects and embodiments without any retraining. It achieves SOTA zero-shot results, even outperforming policies trained on 10-30 demos. 🏆 5/6

By leveraging the commonsense knowledge in video models, NovaFlow helps solve the robot data bottleneck. This is a leap towards more general-purpose robots. 🚀 Dive deeper into our work: 📜 Paper: 🌐 Project Website: 👀 P.S.

Beautiful.

Thanks, Nils!

Using video generation models to create task plans from language is clever! The actionable 3D object flow representation seems like the key to making this work across embodiments.

Thanks, Xiatao. I believe video models capture the most general form of dynamics, although they can’t be directly understood by robots. Actionable flow enables robots to comprehend the generated videos.

Nice work!

Thanks, Zhiyang!

great work!

Thanks, Bozheng!

Wow, this is such a cool approach.

Thanks🙏

Nice work!

Thanks, Ted! 🙏

Laying the groundwork for Soma

So cool

Thanks

Wow. It’s like imagining whole take on head and then implementing it like human break does. Kind of.

Exactly, a video model serves as the imagination capabilities of human beings.

Great work. Can you try on these examples in mcap.

Thanks for the great suggestions! Egocentric data is more challenging, and we’re still working on it!

Happy to work together we are also working on real2sim

That will save a lot of time. Hope you post some cool demos.

holy shit i personaly owned name for a while and have no idea what to build

is it more effective to train robots using human actions that are tracked using actionable flow, or to teleoperate robots into direct movement data?

NovaFlow is object-centric and embodiment-agnostic. So it should work the same for both human and robot data. In practice, we find video generative models work better with generating human data.

I wonder how long it takes to perform one task?

It depends on the choice of video model. For Veo, it takes around 2-3min for the entire pipeline.

Zero shot Robotic AI manipulation.

Interesting work. How you see the work of Florence, Manuelli, Redrake in the context of this work Dense Object Nets: Learning Dense Visual Object Descriptors By and For Robotic Manipulation Florence,Manuelli, Russ Tedrake?
