• Abstract: The latest research in expertise assessment of soccer players has affirmed the importance of perceptual skills (especially for decision making) by focusing either on high experimental control or on a realistic presentation. To assess the perceptual skills of athletes in an optimized manner, we captured omnidirectional in-field scenes and showed these to 12 expert, 10 intermediate and 13 novice soccer goalkeepers on virtual reality glasses. All scenes were shown from the same natural goalkeeper perspective and ended after the return pass to the goalkeeper. Based on their gaze behavior we classified their expertise with common machine learning techniques. This pilot study shows promising results for objective classification of goalkeepers expertise based on their gaze behaviour and provided valuable insight to inform the design of training systems to enhance perceptual skills of athletes.

  We find that visual representations designed for manipulation and control tasks do not necessarily generalize under subtle changes in lighting and scene texture. We find that emergent segmentation ability is a strong predictor of out-of-distribution generalization among ViT models.

  We present a large empirical investigation on the use of pre-trained visual representations (PVRs) for training downstream policies that execute real-world tasks. We can arrive at three insights: 1) the performance trends of PVRs in the simulation are generally indicative of their trends in the real world, 2) the use of PVRs enables a first-of-its-kind result with indoor ImageNav.

  This work aims to exploit the use of sparse visual observations to achieve perceptual locomotion over a range of commonly seen bumps, ramps, and stairs in human-centred environments. We first formulate the selection of minimal visual input that can represent the uneven surfaces of interest, and propose a learning framework that integrates such exteroceptive and proprioceptive data. We validate the learned policy in tasks that require omnidirectional walking over flat ground and forward locomotion over terrains with obstacles, showing a high success rate.
