• Abstract: To facilitate the advancement of research in healthcare robots without human intervention or commands, we introduce the Autonomous Helping Challenge, along with a crowd-sourcing large-scale dataset. The goal is to create healthcare robots that possess the ability to determine when assistance is necessary, generate useful sub-tasks to aid in planning, carry out these plans through a physical robot, and receive feedback from the environment in order to generate new tasks and continue the process. Besides the general challenge in open-ended scenarios, Autonomous Helping focuses on three specific challenges: autonomous task generation, the gap between the current scene and static commonsense, and the gap between language instruction and the real world. Additionally, we propose Helpy, a potential approach to close the healthcare loop in the learning-free setting.

  Legged robots are physically capable of navigating a diverse variety of environments and overcoming a wide range of obstructions. Current learning methods often struggle with generalization to the long tail of unexpected situations without heavy human supervision. We propose a system, VLM-Predictive Control (VLM-PC), combining two key components that we find to be crucial for eliciting on-the-fly, adaptive behavior selection.

  A long-term goal of reinforcement learning is to design agents that can autonomously interact and learn in the world. A critical challenge is the presence of irreversible states which require external assistance to recover from, such as when a robot arm has pushed an object off of a table. We propose an algorithm that efficiently learns to detect and avoid states that are irreversible, and proactively asks for help in case the agent does enter them.
