• Abstract: Soft object manipulation poses significant challenges for robots, requiring effective techniques for state representation and manipulation policy learning. State representation involves capturing the dynamic changes in the environment, while manipulation policy learning focuses on establishing the relationship between robot actions and state transformations to achieve specific goals. To address these challenges, this research paper introduces a novel approach: a dynamic heterogeneous graph-based model for learning goal-oriented soft object manipulation policies. The proposed model utilizes graphs as a unified representation for both states and policy learning. By leveraging the dynamic graph, we can extract crucial information regarding object dynamics and manipulation policies. Furthermore, the model facilitates the integration of demonstrations, enabling guided policy learning. To evaluate the efficacy of our approach, we designed a dough rolling task and conducted experiments using both a differentiable simulator and a real-world humanoid robot. Additionally, several ablation studies were performed to analyze the effect of our method, demonstrating its superiority in achieving human-like behavior.

We combine model-based planning with model-free deep reinforcement learning to learn policies that favor the same object regions favored by people. We find that our policies train 4x faster than the baselines and generalize better to novel objects because our visual affordance model can anticipate their affordance regions.

  One of the fundamental challenges in using a learned forward dynamics model is the mismatch between the objective of the learned model and that of the downstream planner or policy. We propose to direct prediction towards task relevant information, enabling the model to be aware of the current task and encouraging it to only model relevant quantities of the state space. We find that our method more effectively models the relevant parts of the scene conditioned on the goal, and as a result outperforms standard task-agnostic dynamics models and model-free reinforcement learning.
