• Abstract: Robots are becoming increasingly integrated into our lives, assisting us in various tasks. To ensure effective collaboration between humans and robots, it is essential that they understand our intentions and anticipate our actions. In this paper, we propose a Human-Object Interaction (HOI) anticipation framework for collaborative robots. We propose an efficient and robust transformer-based model to detect and anticipate HOIs from videos. This enhanced anticipation empowers robots to proactively assist humans, resulting in more efficient and intuitive collaborations. Our model outperforms state-of-the-art results in HOI detection and anticipation in VidHOI dataset with an increase of 1.76% and 1.04% in mAP respectively while being 15.4 times faster. We showcase the effectiveness of our approach through experimental results in a real robot, demonstrating that the robot's ability to anticipate HOIs is key for better Human-Robot Interaction.

  We present a high-dimensional, simulated robot learning benchmark, HumanoidBench, featuring a humanoid robot equipped with dexterous hands. Our findings reveal that state-of-the-art reinforcement learning algorithms struggle with most tasks, whereas a hierarchical learning approach achieves superior performance when supported by robust low-level policies.

  Eye-in-hand cameras have shown promise in enabling greater sample efficiency and generalization in vision-based robotic manipulation. Videos of humans performing tasks, on the other hand, are much cheaper to collect since they eliminate the need for expertise in robotic teleoperation. In this work, we augment narrow robotic imitation datasets with broad unlabeled human video demonstrations to greatly enhance the generalization of eye-in-hand visuomotor policies.

We show the efficacy of our approach, which we call VRB, across 4 real world environments, over 10 different tasks, and 2 robotic platforms operating in the wild.

The robot autonomously practices the task by learning to both do and undo the task, simultaneously inferring the reward function from the demonstrations.
