Estimating Ego-Body Pose from Doubly Sparse Egocentric Video Data

NeurIPS 2024poster

We study the problem of estimating the body movements of a camera wearer from egocentric videos. Current methods for ego-body pose estimation rely on temporally dense sensor data, such as IMU measurements from spatially sparse body parts like the head and hands. However, we propose that even tempora…

Cross Domain Robot Imitation with Invariant Representation

ICRA 2022poster

Animals are able to imitate each others' behavior, despite their difference in biomechanics. In contrast, imitating other similar robots is a much more challenging task in robotics. This problem is called cross domain imitation learning (CDIL). In this paper, we consider CDIL on a class of similar r…
