• Abstract: Learning to perform activities through demonstration requires extracting meaningful information about the environment from observations. In this research, we investigate the challenge of planning high-level goal-oriented actions in a simulation setting from an egocentric perspective. We present a novel task, interactive action planning, and propose an approach that combines topological affordance memory with transformer architecture. The process of memorizing the environment's structure through extracting affordances facilitates selecting appropriate actions based on the context. Moreover, the memory model allows us to detect action deviations while accomplishing specific objectives. To assess the method's versatility, we evaluate it in a realistic interactive simulation environment. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach learns meaningful representations, resulting in improved performance and robust when action deviations occur.

  We consider the challenge of extracting goal-conditioned behavior from the products of unsupervised exploration techniques. We find that conventional goal-conditioned reinforcement learning approaches for extracting a value function and policy fall short in this difficult offline setting. In order to mitigate their occurrence, we propose to combine model-based planning over learned value landscapes with a graph-based value aggregation scheme.

  We develop an inverse dynamics state representation learning objective to align the expert environment and the learning environment.

Our approach can achieve a near-expert performance in most environments, and significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art visual IL methods and robust IL methods.

  This work studies object goal navigation task, which involves navigating to the closest object related to the given semantic category in unseen environments. Recent works have shown significant achievements both in the end-to-end Reinforcement Learning approach and modular systems, but need a big step forward to be robust and optimal. We propose a hierarchical method that incorporates standard task formulation and additional area knowledge as landmarks, with a way to extract these landmarks.
