Such a wonderful and awe-inspiring project! I was thinking to myself, someday a humanoid robotics company might use this, and then I look up the presenter’s LinkedIn, and turns out they are working at Clone Robotics! Kind of curious what’s happening there now.
Generative self-supervised model for robotics data.
Highlights:
- Transformer model for autoregressive prediction of states and actions over time to implicitly encode dynamics and behaviors for a particular robot
- The representation learned can be fine-tuned to distinct tasks (navigation, mapping, localization) with minimal data
- The base transformer model serves as a generative robotics model, similarly to GPT-3, and can be prompted to result in different robot behaviors
