• Abstract summary: We introduce continual learning for deep learning-based monocular depth estimation and panoptic segmentation in new environments in an online manner. We propose a novel domain-mixing strategy to generate pseudo-labels to adapt panoptic segmentation. We explicitly address the limited storage capacity of robotic systems by leveraging sampling strategies for constructing a fixed-size replay buffer.

• Abstract: Operating a robot in the open world requires a high level of robustness with respect to previously unseen environments. Optimally, the robot is able to adapt by itself to new conditions without human supervision, e.g., automatically adjusting its perception system to changing lighting conditions. In this work, we address the task of continual learning for deep learning-based monocular depth estimation and panoptic segmentation in new environments in an online manner. We introduce CoDEPS to perform continual learning involving multiple real-world domains while mitigating catastrophic forgetting by leveraging experience replay. In particular, we propose a novel domain-mixing strategy to generate pseudo-labels to adapt panoptic segmentation. Furthermore, we explicitly address the limited storage capacity of robotic systems by leveraging sampling strategies for constructing a fixed-size replay buffer based on rare semantic class sampling and image diversity. We perform extensive evaluations of CoDEPS on various real-world datasets demonstrating that it successfully adapts to unseen environments without sacrificing performance on previous domains while achieving state-of-the-art results. The code of our work is publicly available at http://codeps.cs.uni-freiburg.de.

  We propose the ReALFRED benchmark that employs real-world scenes, objects, and room layouts to learn agents to complete household tasks. Specifically, we extend the ALFRED benchmark with updates for larger environmental spaces with smaller visual domain gaps. With ReALFRED, we analyze previously crafted methods for the ALFRED benchmark and observe that they consistently yield lower performance in all metrics.

  We show how a robot can autonomously discover novel semantic classes and improve accuracy on known classes when exploring an unknown environment. We develop a general framework for mapping and clustering that we then use to generate a self-supervised learning signal to update a semantic segmentation model. In particular, we show how clustering parameters can be optimized during deployment and that fusion of multiple observation modalities improves novel object discovery compared to prior work.

  Continual learning refers to the ability of humans and animals to incrementally learn over time in a given environment. We propose to leverage recent advances in 3D virtual environments in order to approach the automatic generation of potentially life-long dynamic scenes with photo-realistic appearance. A novel element of this paper is that scenes are described in a parametric way, thus allowing the user to fully control the visual complexity of the input stream the agent perceives.

This setting allows varied kinematic structures within a semantic category, and multiple instances to co-exist in an observation of real world.
