• Abstract: In this paper, we present a novel approach to incrementally learn an Abstract Model of an unknown environment, and show how an agent can reuse the learned model for tackling the Object Goal Navigation task. The Abstract Model is a finite state machine in which each state is an abstraction of a state of the environment, as perceived by the agent in a certain position and orientation. The perceptions are high-dimensional sensory data (e.g., RGB-D images), and the abstraction is reached by exploiting image segmentation and the Taskonomy model bank. The learning of the Abstract Model is accomplished by executing actions, observing the reached state, and updating the Abstract Model with the acquired information. The learned models are memorized by the agent, and they are reused whenever it recognizes to be in an environment that corresponds to the stored model. We investigate the effectiveness of the proposed approach for the Object Goal Navigation task, relying on public benchmarks. Our results show that the reuse of learned Abstract Models can boost performance on Object Goal Navigation.

  Slot-Attention for Object-centric Latent Dynamics is a novel algorithm that learns object-centric dynamics models from pixel inputs. We demonstrate that the structured latent space not only improves model interpretability but also provides a valuable input space for behavior models to reason over. Our results show that SOLD outperforms DreamerV3, a state-of-the-art model-based RL algorithm, across a range of benchmark robotic environments.

  We study whether giving an agent an object-centric mapping (describing a set of items and their attributes) allow for more efficient learning. We find this problem is best solved hierarchically by modelling items at a higher level of state abstraction to pixels. We make use of this to propose a fully model-based algorithm that learns a discriminative world model.

  One of the fundamental challenges in using a learned forward dynamics model is the mismatch between the objective of the learned model and that of the downstream planner or policy. We propose to direct prediction towards task relevant information, enabling the model to be aware of the current task and encouraging it to only model relevant quantities of the state space. We find that our method more effectively models the relevant parts of the scene conditioned on the goal, and as a result outperforms standard task-agnostic dynamics models and model-free reinforcement learning.
