行動整合表現によるクロスエンボディメント転移
Cross-Embodiment Transfer via Behavior-Aligned Representations
ロボット操作の大規模模倣学習において、行動整合表現(物体のバウンディングボックスや言語動作、エンドエフェクタの軌跡など)がVLAモデルのクロスエンボディメント転移を促進するかを検証し、シミュレーションベンチマークで評価。エンドエフェクタ軌跡が特に有効で、シミュレーションから実機への転移成功率を28%向上させた。

原文アブストラクト
Recent progress in large-scale imitation learning for robot manipulation has been driven by leveraging datasets across a wide range of robot embodiments. However, achieving significant cross-embodiment transfer is often still challenging. In this work, we study the role of using behavior-aligned representations (e.g., object bounding boxes, language motions, end-effector traces of robot motion) in vision-language-action (VLA) models to promote cross-embodiment transfer. We hypothesize that by possessing invariances across embodiments while being predictive of robot actions, these representations can help unify large-scale cross-embodiment data to enhance transfer. To assess our hypothesis, we develop a simulation-based benchmark designed to assess transfer with diverse cross-embodiment data to new embodiments. Using this benchmark, we compare different representations and ways of incorporating them. We identify that end-effector traces can be particularly beneficial for transfer, representations are generally more useful with larger prior datasets, and can be used to benefit from action-free data. We also demonstrate that they can enhance sim-to-real cross-embodiment transfer, improving task completion progress of real robot policies pre-trained on simulation data by 28%.
