Generalizable Imitation Learning Through Pre-Trained Representations

In this paper we leverage self-supervised vision transformer models and their emergent semantic abilities to improve the generalization abil… (voir plus)ities of imitation learning policies. We introduce BC-ViT, an imitation learning algorithm that leverages rich DINO pre-trained Visual Transformer (ViT) patch-level embeddings to obtain better generalization when learning through demonstrations. Our learner sees the world by clustering appearance features into semantic concepts, forming stable keypoints that generalize across a wide range of appearance variations and object types. We show that this representation enables generalized behaviour by evaluating imitation learning across a diverse dataset of object manipulation tasks. Our method, data and evaluation approach are made available to facilitate further study of generalization in Imitation Learners.

Learning active tactile perception through belief-space control

Robot operating in an open world can encounter novel objects with unknown physical properties, such as mass, friction, or size. It is desira… (voir plus)ble to be able to sense those property through contact-rich interaction, before performing downstream tasks with the objects. We propose a method for autonomously learning active tactile perception policies, by learning a generative world model leveraging a differentiable bayesian filtering algorithm, and designing an information- gathering model predictive controller. We test the method on three simulated tasks: mass estimation, height estimation and toppling height estimation. Our method is able to discover policies which gather information about the desired property in an intuitive manner.
RobusTAD: reference panel based annotation of nested topologically associating domains
Yanlin Zhang
Rola Dali
Topologically associating domains (TADs) are fundamental units of 3D genomes and play essential roles in gene regulation. Hi-C data suggests… (voir plus) a hierarchical organization of TADs. Accurately annotating nested TADs from Hi-C data remains challenging, both in terms of the precise identification of boundaries and the correct inference of hierarchies. While domain boundary is relatively well conserved across cells, few approaches have taken advantage of this fact. Here, we present RobusTAD to annotate TAD hierarchies. It incorporates additional Hi-C data to refine boundaries annotated from the study sample. RobusTAD outperforms existing tools at boundary and domain annotation across several benchmarking tasks.

Topological mapping for traversability-aware long-range navigation in off-road terrain

Autonomous robots navigating in off-road terrain like forests open new opportunities for automation. While off-road navigation has been stud… (voir plus)ied, existing work often relies on clearly delineated pathways. We present a method allowing for long-range planning, exploration and low-level control in unknown off-trail forest terrain, using vision and GPS only. We represent outdoor terrain with a topological map, which is a set of panoramic snapshots connected with edges containing traversability information. A novel traversability analysis method is demonstrated, predicting the existence of a safe path towards a target in an image. Navigating between nodes is done using goal-conditioned behavior cloning, leveraging the power of a pretrained vision transformer. An exploration planner is presented, efficiently covering an unknown off-road area with unknown traversability using a frontiers-based approach. The approach is successfully deployed to autonomously explore two 400 meters squared forest sites unseen during training, in difficult conditions for navigation.
