• Abstract summary: We present Sequencing Task-Agnostic Policies (STAP) for training manipulation skills and coordinating their geometric dependencies at planning time to solve long-horizon tasks. Our experiments indicate that this objective function approximates ground truth plan feasibility. We demonstrate how STAP can be used for task and motion planning by estimating the geometric feasibility of skill sequences provided by a task planner.

• Abstract: Advances in robotic skill acquisition have made it possible to build general-purpose libraries of learned skills for downstream manipulation tasks. However, naively executing these skills one after the other is unlikely to succeed without accounting for dependencies between actions prevalent in long-horizon plans. We present Sequencing Task-Agnostic Policies (STAP), a scalable framework for training manipulation skills and coordinating their geometric dependencies at planning time to solve long-horizon tasks never seen by any skill during training. Given that Q-functions encode a measure of skill feasibility, we formulate an optimization problem to maximize the joint success of all skills sequenced in a plan, which we estimate by the product of their Q-values. Our experiments indicate that this objective function approximates ground truth plan feasibility and, when used as a planning objective, reduces myopic behavior and thereby promotes long-horizon task success. We further demonstrate how STAP can be used for task and motion planning by estimating the geometric feasibility of skill sequences provided by a task planner. We evaluate our approach in simulation and on a real robot. Qualitative results and code are made available at https://sites.google.com/stanford.edu/stap.

  We introduce Active Task Randomization (ATR), an approach that learns robust skills through the unsupervised generation of training tasks. ATR selects suitable tasks, which consist of an initial environment state and manipulation goal, for learning robust skills by balancing the diversity and feasibility of the tasks. We demonstrate that the learned skills can be composed by a task planner to solve unseen sequential manipulation problems based on visual inputs.
