• Abstract summary: We introduce our effort to build a simulated environment for developmental robotics (SEDRo) SEDRo provides diverse human experiences ranging from those of a fetus to a 12th-month-old. A series of simulated tests based on developmental psychology will be used to evaluate the progress of a learning model.

• Abstract: Even with impressive advances in application-specific models, we still lack knowledge about how to build a model that can learn in a human-like way and do multiple tasks. To learn in a human-like way, we need to provide a diverse experience that is comparable to humans. In this paper, we introduce our ongoing effort to build a simulated environment for developmental robotics (SEDRo). SEDRo provides diverse human experiences ranging from those of a fetus to a 12th-month-old. A series of simulated tests based on developmental psychology will be used to evaluate the progress of a learning model. We anticipate SEDRo to lower the cost of entry and facilitate research in the developmental robotics community.

We find that sensorimotor pre-training consistently outperforms training from scratch, has favorable scaling properties, and enables transfer across different tasks, environments, and robots.

  In imitation and reinforcement learning, the cost of human supervision limits the amount of data that robots can be trained on. In this work, we propose MEDAL++, a novel design for self-improving robotic systems. The robot autonomously practices the task by learning to both do and undo the task, simultaneously inferring the reward function from the demonstrations.

  Humans naturally infer other agents' beliefs and desires by reasoning about their observable behavior. We propose to incorporate the learner's current understanding of the robot's decision making into our model of human IRL. We also propose a novel measure for estimating the difficulty for a human to predict instances of a robot's behavior in unseen environments.

This algorithm is capable to autonomously discover, learn and adapt interrelated affordances without pre-programmed actions. Once learned, these affordances may be used by the algorithm to plan sequences of actions in order to perform tasks of various difficulties.
