• Abstract: The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) has improved the prospects for robotic tasks. However, existing benchmarks are still limited to single tasks with limited generalization capabilities. In this work, we introduce a comprehensive benchmark and an autonomous learning framework, RoboCoder aimed at enhancing the generalization capabilities of robots in complex environments. Unlike traditional methods that focus on single-task learning, our research emphasizes the development of a general-purpose robotic coding algorithm that enables robots to leverage basic skills to tackle increasingly complex tasks. The newly proposed benchmark consists of 80 manually designed tasks across 7 distinct entities, testing the models' ability to learn from minimal initial mastery. Initial testing revealed that even advanced models like GPT-4 could only achieve a 47% pass rate in three-shot scenarios with humanoid entities. To address these limitations, the RoboCoder framework integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) with a dynamic learning system that uses real-time environmental feedback to continuously update and refine action codes. This adaptive method showed a remarkable improvement, achieving a 36% relative improvement. Our codes will be released.

  We propose a novel flow matching architecture built on top of a pre-trained vision-language model (VLM) to inherit Internet-scale semantic knowledge. We evaluate our model in terms of its ability to perform tasks in zero shot after pre-training, follow language instructions from people, and its ability to acquire new skills via fine-tuning.

  This work introduces a paradigm for pre-training a general purpose representation that can serve as a starting point for multiple tasks on a given robot. We present the Perception-Action Causal Transformer (PACT), a generative transformer-based architecture that aims to build representations directly from robot data in a self-supervised fashion. We show that finetuning small task-specific networks on top of the larger pretrained model results in significantly better performance compared to training a single model from scratch for all tasks simultaneously.

We find that our simple change to the action interface substantially improves both the learning efficiency and task performance.
