P3-PO is a great example of how simple human priors can facilitate significantly better generalizability for robot policies.
New paper! We show that by using keypoint-based image representation, robot policies become robust to different object types and background changes.
We call this method Prescriptive Point Priors for robot Policies or P3-PO in short. Full project is here: point-priors.github.io

BAKU is fully open source and surprisingly effective. We found it easily adaptable for a host of visuotactile tasks in visuoskin.github.io

Robot utility models are not just among the first learned models that work zero-shot on a mobile manipulator, but also provide a nuanced discussion on what works and what doesn't in data-driven robot learning.
Since we are nearing the end of the year, I'll revisit some of our work I'm most excited about from the last year and maybe a sneak peek of what we are up to next.
To start of, Robot Utility Models, which enables zero-shot deployment. In the video below, the robot hasnt seen these doors before.

I just joined bluesky, and would love to connect with folks interested in embodied AI and robotics. I am a postdoctoral researcher at NYU working at the intersection of sensing, machine learning and robotics. Hit me up if you'd like to chat!
