Pretrained vision-language models (VLMs) can make semantic and visual inferences across diverse settings, providing valuable common-sense priors for robotic control. However, effectively grounding this knowledge in robot behaviors remains an open challenge. Prior methods often employ a hierarchical …
The scarcity of diverse and high-quality data impedes the quest to build a generalist robotic system. Current robotics data collection efforts face many challenges: the need for physical robotic hardware, setting up the environment, frequent resets, and the fatigue for data collectors operating real
Both the design and control of a robot play equally important roles in its task performance. However, while optimal control is well studied in the machine learning and robotics community, less attention is placed on finding the optimal robot design. This is mainly because co-optimizing design and co…
