Many real-world tasks are recorded as large collections of unannotated task executions, such as videos, which contain rich information about task progress but lack the supervision assumed by standard reinforcement learning (RL) pipelines. In many practical settings, the goal is not to train a reusab…
Accelerating exploration in visual reinforcement learning under sparse rewards remains challenging due to the substantial task-irrelevant variations. Despite advances in intrinsic exploration, many methods either assume access to low-dimensional states or lack task-aware exploration strategies, ther…
In reinforcement learning (RL) based robot skill acquisition, a high-fidelity simulator is usually indispensable but unattainable since the real environment dynamics are difficult to model, which leads to severe sim-to-real gaps. Existing methods solve this problem by combining offline and online RL
Recent progress in generative models has stimulated significant innovations in many fields, such as image generation and chatbots. Despite their success, these models often produce sketchy and misleading solutions for complex multi-agent decision-making problems because they miss the trial-and-error…
Effective exploration is crucial to discovering optimal strategies for multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) in complex coordination tasks. Existing methods mainly utilize intrinsic rewards to enable committed exploration or use role-based learning for decomposing joint action spaces instead of…
Sharing intentions is crucial for efficient cooperation in communication-enabled multi-agent reinforcement learning. Recent work applies static or undirected graphs to determine the order of interaction. However, the static graph is not general for complex cooperative tasks, and the parallel message…
Manipulation relationship detection (MRD) aims to guide the robot to grasp objects in the right order, which is important to ensure the safety and reliability of grasping in object stacked scenes. Previous works infer manipulation relationship by deep neural network trained with data collected from…
Due to the representation limitation of the joint Q value function, multi-agent reinforcement learning methods with linear value decomposition (LVD) or monotonic value decomposition (MVD) suffer from relative overgeneralization. As a result, they can not ensure optimal consistency (i.e., the corresp…
Autonomous robotic grasping plays an important role in intelligent robotics. However, how to help the robot grasp specific objects in object stacking scenes is still an open problem, because there are two main challenges for autonomous robots: (1) it is a comprehensive task to know what and how to g…
