I am late on reposting this but this is a good opportunity to flag that these skills now work from the robot on-board camera. Paper to be presented @corl_conf 2024:

🤖 Our latest advances in policies which produce actions directly from images captured by onboard cameras 🤖. ALOHA mostly from human demos on real robots, DemoStart mostly from exploration in sim and transferred to real. https://t.co/ydSOazis4U

I fully support the approach. Let's be responsible first. These are powerful technologies and safety guards need to be in place before sharing to the public. https://t.co/rXZ7UeMVTM

I am glad to have contributed to this work. It's a relatively simple benchmark but it still requires a deep understanding and generalisation of physical interaction 🤖🔴🟩🔷 https://t.co/XUnqiyalEq

With an incredible team effort we have released MuJoCo with a major feature requested by the community: GPU & TPU acceleration! 🤖 With @yuvaltassa @tom_erez and many more! https://t.co/THeLnQVRgy

Cool and unconventional control strategy. It reminds me the control strategy used in the first prototypes from Marc Raibert MIT's Leg Lab (e..g the Hopper). @BostonDynamics https://t.co/XcQiOicVZK

RoboCat can be conditioned with images of the desired task. With language conditioning (e.g. SayCan) this is a real game changer for robotics and its interpretability.

I still think tactile is a fundamental sensor for robotics. I hope this work can enable research in this field which has a huge unexploited potential. https://t.co/Lsw3v4Lfyn

My favourite result is the agent that uses vision to localise itself in the field and also to localise the ball. This is a very complex vision estimation problem which is implicitly solved end-to-end as in our recent NeRF2Real paper.
