• Authors: Sanjay Haresh, Daniel Dijkman, Apratim Bhattacharyya, Roland Memisevic,
• Abstract summary: ClevrSkills is a benchmark suite for compositional reasoning in robotics. It includes a curriculum of tasks with three levels of compositional understanding, starting with simple tasks requiring basic motor skills. We show that even after being pre-trained on large numbers of tasks, large vision language models fail on compositional reasoning.

• Abstract: Robotics tasks are highly compositional by nature. For example, to perform a high-level task like cleaning the table a robot must employ low-level capabilities of moving the effectors to the objects on the table, pick them up and then move them off the table one-by-one, while re-evaluating the consequently dynamic scenario in the process. Given that large vision language models (VLMs) have shown progress on many tasks that require high level, human-like reasoning, we ask the question: if the models are taught the requisite low-level capabilities, can they compose them in novel ways to achieve interesting high-level tasks like cleaning the table without having to be explicitly taught so? To this end, we present ClevrSkills - a benchmark suite for compositional reasoning in robotics. ClevrSkills is an environment suite developed on top of the ManiSkill2 simulator and an accompanying dataset. The dataset contains trajectories generated on a range of robotics tasks with language and visual annotations as well as multi-modal prompts as task specification. The suite includes a curriculum of tasks with three levels of compositional understanding, starting with simple tasks requiring basic motor skills. We benchmark multiple different VLM baselines on ClevrSkills and show that even after being pre-trained on large numbers of tasks, these models fail on compositional reasoning in robotics tasks.

In our context, zero-shot means that for a novel environment, we provide a VLLM with an image of the robot's surroundings and a task description. Our system showcases the ability to handle diverse tasks such as manipulation, goal-reaching, and visual reasoning -- all in a zero-shot manner.

  Task specification is critical for engagement of non-expert end-users and adoption of personalized robots.

In this work, we explore alternate and more general forms of goal specification that are expected to be easier for humans to specify and use.
