• Authors: Angel Villar-Corrales, Sven Behnke,
• Abstract summary: PlaySlot is an object-centric video prediction model that infers object representations and latent actions from unlabeled video sequences. PlaySlot allows to generate multiple possible futures conditioned on latent actions, which can be inferred from video dynamics. Our results show that PlaySlot outperforms both object-centric baselines for video prediction across different environments.

• Abstract: Predicting future scene representations is a crucial task for enabling robots to understand and interact with the environment. However, most existing methods rely on video sequences and simulations with precise action annotations, limiting their ability to leverage the large amount of available unlabeled video data. To address this challenge, we propose PlaySlot, an object-centric video prediction model that infers object representations and latent actions from unlabeled video sequences. It then uses these representations to forecast future object states and video frames. PlaySlot allows to generate multiple possible futures conditioned on latent actions, which can be inferred from video dynamics, provided by a user, or generated by a learned action policy, thus enabling versatile and interpretable world modeling. Our results show that PlaySlot outperforms both stochastic and object-centric baselines for video prediction across different environments. Furthermore, we show that our inferred latent actions can be used to learn robot behaviors sample-efficiently from unlabeled video demonstrations.

  We present $delta$-Diffusion, a self-supervised training approach that learns from unlabeled videos by conditional future frame prediction. By leveraging a video foundation model with an appearance bottleneck design on top, we extract action latents from demonstration videos for conditioning the generation process. Empirically, $delta$-Diffusion outperforms related baselines in terms of both human preference and large-scale machine evaluations.

  Learning a generalist embodied agent poses challenges, primarily stemming from the scarcity of action-labeled robotic datasets. We introduce a novel framework to tackle these challenges, which leverages a unified discrete diffusion to combine generative pre-training on human videos and policy fine-tuning on a small number of action-labeled robot videos. Our method generates high-fidelity future videos for planning and enhances the fine-tuned policies compared to previous state-of-the-art approaches.
