The creation of large, diverse, high-quality robot manipulation datasets is an important stepping stone on the path toward more capable and … (see more)robust robotic manipulation policies. However, creating such datasets is challenging: collecting robot manipulation data in diverse environments poses logistical and safety challenges and requires substantial investments in hardware and human labour. As a result, even the most general robot manipulation policies today are mostly trained on data collected in a small number of environments with limited scene and task diversity. In this work, we introduce DROID (Distributed Robot Interaction Dataset), a diverse robot manipulation dataset with 76k demonstration trajectories or 350 hours of interaction data, collected across 564 scenes and 84 tasks by 50 data collectors in North America, Asia, and Europe over the course of 12 months. We demonstrate that training with DROID leads to policies with higher performance and improved generalization ability. We open source the full dataset, policy learning code, and a detailed guide for reproducing our robot hardware setup.
Despite the growing adoption of mixed reality and interactive AI agents, it remains challenging for these systems to generate high quality 2… (see more)D/3D scenes in unseen environments. The common practice requires deploying an AI agent to collect large amounts of data for model training for every new task. This process is costly, or even impossible, for many domains. In this study, we develop an infinite agent that learns to transfer knowledge memory from general foundation models (e.g. GPT4, DALLE) to novel domains or scenarios for scene understanding and generation in the physical or virtual world. The heart of our approach is an emerging mechanism, dubbed Augmented Reality with Knowledge Inference Interaction (ArK), which leverages knowledge-memory to generate scenes in unseen physical world and virtual reality environments. The knowledge interactive emergent ability (Figure 1) is demonstrated as the observation learns i) micro-action of cross-modality: in multi-modality models to collect a large amount of relevant knowledge memory data for each interaction task (e.g., unseen scene understanding) from the physical reality; and ii) macro-behavior of reality-agnostic: in mix-reality environments to improve interactions that tailor to different characterized roles, target variables, collaborative information, and so on. We validate the effectiveness of ArK on the scene generation and editing tasks. We show that our ArK approach, combined with large foundation models, significantly improves the quality of generated 2D/3D scenes, compared to baselines, demonstrating the potential benefit of incorporating ArK in generative AI for applications such as metaverse and gaming simulation.

Typically, an AI agent requires collecting extensive training data for every new task, which can be costly or impossible for many domains. In this study, we develop an infinite agent that learns to transfer knowledge memory from general foundation models (e.g., GPT4, DALLE) to novel domains or scenarios for scene understanding and generation in physical or virtual worlds. Central to our approach is the interactive emerging mechanism, dubbed Augmented Reality with Knowledge Emergent Infrastructure (ArK) , which leverages knowledge-memory to generate scenes in unseen physical worlds and virtual reality environments. The knowledge interactive emergent ability (Figure 1) is demonstrated through i) micro-action of cross-modality : in multi-modality models to collect a large amount of relevant knowledge-memory data for each interaction task (e.g., unseen scene understanding) from the physical reality; and ii) macro-behavior of reality-agnostic : in mix-reality environments to improve interactions that tailor to different characterized roles, target variables, collaborative information, and so on. We validate ArK’s effectiveness in scene generation and editing tasks and show that our ArK approach, combined with large foundation models, significantly improves the quality of generated 2D/3D scenes, highlighting its potential in applications such as metaverse and gaming simulation.
