• Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of mobile robot manipulation of novel objects via detection. Our approach uses vision and control as complementary functions that learn from real-world tasks. We develop a manipulation method based solely on detection then introduce task-focused few-shot object detection to learn new objects and settings. The current paradigm for few-shot object detection uses existing annotated examples. In contrast, we extend this paradigm by using active data collection and annotation selection that improves performance for specific downstream tasks (e.g., depth estimation and grasping). In experiments for our interactive approach to few-shot learning, we train a robot to manipulate objects directly from detection (ClickBot). ClickBot learns visual servo control from a single click of annotation, grasps novel objects in clutter and other settings, and achieves state-of-the-art results on an existing visual servo control and depth estimation benchmark. Finally, we establish a task-focused few-shot object detection benchmark to support future research: https://github.com/griffbr/TFOD.

  Our work explores the grounding of fine-grained part descriptors for precise manipulation in a zero-shot setting. We tackle the problem by framing it as a dense semantic part correspondence task. Our model returns a gripper pose for manipulating a specific part, using as reference a user-defined click from a source image of a visually different instance of the same object.

  Training agents to manipulate objects, poses many challenges. We propose an approach that explores the environment in search for target objects, computes their 3D coordinates once they are located, and then continues to estimate their 3D locations even when the objects are not visible. Our evaluations show a massive 3x improvement in success rate over a model that has access to the same sensory suite.

  Self-supervised methods aim at learning representations from unlabeled data which transfer well to downstream tasks such as object detection. Few-shot object detection is about training a model on novel (unseen) object classes with little data. In this survey, we review and characterize the most recent approaches on few-shot and self-supervised object detection.

  Affordance detection refers to identifying the potential action possibilities of objects in an image. We devise a One-Shot Affordance Detection Network (OSAD-Net) that estimates the human action purpose and then transfers it to help detect the common affordance from all candidate images. With complex scenes and rich annotations, our PADv2 dataset can be used as a test bed to benchmark affordance detection methods.

  We find that pre-training on vision tasks significantly improves generalization and sample efficiency for learning to manipulate objects. We explore directly transferring model parameters from vision networks to affordance prediction networks, and show that this can result in successful zero-shot adaptation. With just a small amount of robotic experience, we can further fine-tune the affordance model to achieve better results.
