• Abstract: This paper addresses the task of learning an agent model behaving like humans, which can jointly perceive, predict, and act in egocentric worlds. Previous methods usually train separate models for these three abilities, leading to information silos among them, which prevents these abilities from learning from each other and collaborating effectively. In this paper, we propose a joint predictive agent model, named EgoAgent, that simultaneously learns to represent the world, predict future states, and take reasonable actions with a single transformer. EgoAgent unifies the representational spaces of the three abilities by mapping them all into a sequence of continuous tokens. Learnable query tokens are appended to obtain current states, future states, and next actions. With joint supervision, our agent model establishes the internal relationship among these three abilities and effectively mimics the human inference and learning processes. Comprehensive evaluations of EgoAgent covering image classification, egocentric future state prediction, and 3D human motion prediction tasks demonstrate the superiority of our method. The code and trained model will be released for reproducibility.

  We introduce DIRIGENt, a novel end-to-end diffusion approach to generate joint values from observing human demonstrations. We create a dataset in which humans imitate a robot and then use this collected data to train a diffusion model that enables a robot to imitate humans.

  Ego-Foresight is a self-supervised method for disentangling agent and environment based on motion and prediction. We show that visuomotor prediction of the agent provides regularization to the RL algorithm, by encouraging the actions to stay within predictable bounds. We integrate Ego-Foresight with a model-free RL algorithm to solve simulated robotic manipulation tasks, showing an average improvement of 23% in efficiency and 8% in performance.

  Existing multi-person human reconstruction approaches mainly focus on recovering accurate poses or avoiding penetration. In this work, we tackle the task of reconstructing closely interactive humans from a monocular video. We propose to leverage knowledge from proxemic behavior and physics to compensate the lack of visual information.

  Our model is a causal transformer trained via autoregressive prediction of sensorimotor trajectories. We show that our model enables a full-sized humanoid to walk in San Francisco zero-shot. Our model can transfer to the real world even when trained on only 27 hours of walking data, and can generalize commands not seen during training like walking backward.

  We propose a new neural ToM architecture that learns to generate a latent trait vector of an actor from the past trajectories. This trait vector then multiplicatively modulates the prediction mechanism via a fast weights' scheme in the prediction neural network. We empirically show that the fast weights provide a good inductive bias to model the character traits of agents and hence improves mindreading ability.

In this work, we study the impact of each system for the task of action anticipation and introduce a paradigm to integrate them in a learning framework.

  We study how to design artificial agents that can interact naturally with humans using the simplification of a virtual environment. To build agents that can robustly interact with humans, we would ideally train them while they interact with humans. We use ideas from inverse reinforcement learning to reduce the disparities between human-human and agent-agent interactive behaviour.

  Learning predictive models from interaction with the world allows an agent, such as a robot, to learn about how the world works. However, learning a model that captures the dynamics of complex skills represents a major challenge. We propose a method to augment the training set with observational data of other agents, such as humans.
