• Abstract summary: Dexterous manipulation with a multi-finger hand is one of the most challenging problems in robotics. Recent progress in imitation learning has largely improved the sample efficiency compared to Reinforcement Learning. We propose to learn dexterous manipulation using large-scale demonstrations with diverse 3D objects in a category.

• Abstract: Dexterous manipulation with a multi-finger hand is one of the most challenging problems in robotics. While recent progress in imitation learning has largely improved the sample efficiency compared to Reinforcement Learning, the learned policy can hardly generalize to manipulate novel objects, given limited expert demonstrations. In this paper, we propose to learn dexterous manipulation using large-scale demonstrations with diverse 3D objects in a category, which are generated from a human grasp affordance model. This generalizes the policy to novel object instances within the same category. To train the policy, we propose a novel imitation learning objective jointly with a geometric representation learning objective using our demonstrations. By experimenting with relocating diverse objects in simulation, we show that our approach outperforms baselines with a large margin when manipulating novel objects. We also ablate the importance on 3D object representation learning for manipulation. We include videos, code, and additional information on the project website - https://kristery.github.io/ILAD/ .

  Teacher-Augmented Policy Gradient (TAPG) is a novel two-stage learning framework that synergizes reinforcement learning and policy distillation. TAPG facilitates guided, yet adaptive, learning of a sensorimotor policy, based on object segmentation. Our trained policies adeptly grasp a wide variety of objects from cluttered scenarios in simulation and the real world based on human-understandable prompts.

  We show that policies learned by existing reinforcement learning algorithms can in fact be generalist. We show that a single generalist policy can perform in-hand manipulation of over 100 geometrically-diverse real-world objects. Interestingly, we find that multi-task learning with object point cloud representations not only generalizes better but even outperforms single-object specialist policies.

In this paper, we explore a method that facilitates learning object manipulation skills directly from videos.
