• Abstract: Traditional visual servoing methods suffer from serving between scenes from multiple perspectives, which humans can complete with visual signals alone. In this paper, we investigated how multi-perspective visual servoing could be solved under robot-specific constraints, including self-collision, singularity problems. We presented a novel learning-based multi-perspective visual servoing framework, which iteratively estimates robot actions from latent space representations of visual states using reinforcement learning. Furthermore, our approaches were trained and validated in a Gazebo simulation environment with connection to OpenAI/Gym. Through simulation experiments, we showed that our method can successfully learn an optimal control policy given initial images from different perspectives, and it outperformed the Direct Visual Servoing algorithm with mean success rate of 97.0%.

  We investigate how knowledge from large-scale visual data of the world may be used to address one axis of variation for generalizable manipulation: observational viewpoint. We study single-image novel view synthesis models, which learn 3D-aware scene-level priors by rendering images of the same scene from alternate camera viewpoints. For practical application to diverse robotic data, these models must operate zero-shot, performing view synthesis on unseen tasks and environments.

  We introduce Marking Open-world Keypoint Affordances (MOKA) to solve robotic manipulation tasks specified by free-form language instructions. Central to our approach is a compact point-based representation of affordance, which bridges the VLM's predictions on observed images and the robot's actions in the physical world. We evaluate and analyze MOKA's performance on various table-top manipulation tasks including tool use, deformable body manipulation, and object rearrangement.

  We develop an approach for learning visual affordances for guiding robot exploration. We use a Transformer-based model to learn a conditional distribution in the latent embedding space of a VQ-VAE. We show how the trained affordance model can be used for guiding exploration by acting as a goal-sampling distribution, during visual goal-conditioned policy learning in robotic manipulation.

  This work aims to exploit the use of sparse visual observations to achieve perceptual locomotion over a range of commonly seen bumps, ramps, and stairs in human-centred environments. We first formulate the selection of minimal visual input that can represent the uneven surfaces of interest, and propose a learning framework that integrates such exteroceptive and proprioceptive data. We validate the learned policy in tasks that require omnidirectional walking over flat ground and forward locomotion over terrains with obstacles, showing a high success rate.
