• Abstract: This paper presents a framework for learning visual representations from unlabeled video demonstrations captured from multiple viewpoints. We show that these representations are applicable for imitating several robotic tasks, including pick and place. We optimize a recently proposed self-supervised learning algorithm by applying contrastive learning to enhance task-relevant information while suppressing irrelevant information in the feature embeddings. We validate the proposed method on the publicly available Multi-View Pouring and a custom Pick and Place data sets and compare it with the TCN triplet baseline. We evaluate the learned representations using three metrics: viewpoint alignment, stage classification and reinforcement learning, and in all cases the results improve when compared to state-of-the-art approaches, with the added benefit of reduced number of training iterations.

  Reinforcement learning has achieved promising results on robotic control tasks but struggles to leverage information effectively. Recent works construct auxiliary losses based on reconstruction or mutual information to extract joint representations from multiple sensory inputs. We argue that compressing information in the learned joint representations about raw multimodal observations is helpful.

  unsupervised, "contrastive" learning algorithms in vision have been shown to learn representations that perform remarkably well on transfer tasks. We show that this family of algorithms maximizes a lower bound on the mutual information between two or more "views" of an image. We find that the choice of negative samples and views are critical to the success of these algorithms.
