• Abstract: Robot planning in partially observable domains is difficult, because a robot needs to estimate the current state and plan actions at the same time. When the domain includes many objects, reasoning about the objects and their relationships makes robot planning even more difficult. In this paper, we develop an algorithm called scene analysis for robot planning (SARP) that enables robots to reason with visual contextual information toward achieving long-term goals under uncertainty. SARP constructs scene graphs, a factored representation of objects and their relations, using images captured from different positions, and reasons with them to enable context-aware robot planning under partial observability. Experiments have been conducted using multiple 3D environments in simulation, and a dataset collected by a real robot. In comparison to standard robot planning and scene analysis methods, in a target search domain, SARP improves both efficiency and accuracy in task completion.

  When performing manipulation-based activities such as picking objects, a mobile robot needs to position its base at a location that supports successful execution. To address this problem, prominent approaches typically rely on costly grasp planners to provide grasp poses for a target object. We propose instead to first find robot placements that would not result in collision with the environment, then evaluate them to find the best placement candidate.

We show that this approach of combining scalably learned track prediction with a residual policy enables diverse generalizable robot manipulation.

  Task specification is critical for engagement of non-expert end-users and adoption of personalized robots. A widely studied approach to task specification is through goals, using either compact state vectors or goal images from the same robot scene. In this work, we explore alternate and more general forms of goal specification that are expected to be easier for humans to specify and use.
