  • Publication number: 20250068966
    Abstract: In various examples, systems and methods are disclosed relating to training machine learning models using human demonstration of segments of a task, where other segments of the task are performed by a planning method, such as a Task and Motion Planning (TAMP) system. A method may include segmenting a task to be performed by a robot into segments, determining a first set of instructions of a plurality of sets of instructions for operating the robot to perform a first objective of a first segment, determining that the plurality of sets of instructions is inadequate to perform a second objective of a second segment, receiving from a user device a second set of instructions for operating the robot for the second segment following an end of the first segment, and updating a machine learning model for controlling the robot using the second set of instructions for the second segment.

  • Publication number: 20240338598
    Abstract: One embodiment of a method for generating simulation data to train a machine learning model includes generating a plurality of simulation environments based on a user input, and for each simulation environment included in the plurality of simulation environments: generating a plurality of tasks for a robot to perform within the simulation environment, performing one or more operations to determine a plurality of robot trajectories for performing the plurality of tasks, and generating simulation data for training a machine learning model by performing one or more operations to simulate the robot moving within the simulation environment according to the plurality of trajectories.

  • Patent number: 11958529
    Abstract: A framework for offline learning from a set of diverse and suboptimal demonstrations operates by selectively imitating local sequences from the dataset. At least one embodiment recovers performant policies from large manipulation datasets by decomposing the problem into a goal-conditioned imitation and a high-level goal selection mechanism.
