从人类演示中进行的模仿学习在机器人领域展现了令人印象深刻的表现。然而,大多数结果集中在桌面操作上,缺乏完成一般有用任务所需的移动性和灵巧性。在这项工作中,我们开发了一个系统,用于模仿需要全身控制的双臂移动操作任务。我们首先提出了 Mobile ALOHA,一个用于数据收集的低成本全身遥操作系统。它在 ALOHA 系统的基础上增加了移动基座和全身遥操作界面。利用 Mobile ALOHA 收集的数据,我们随后进行监督行为克隆,并发现与现有的静态 ALOHA 数据集共同训练可以提升移动操作任务的性能。对于每个任务,使用 50 个演示,共同训练可以将成功率提高高达 90%,使 Mobile ALOHA 能够自主完成复杂的移动操作任务,例如翻炒和盛出一只虾、打开双门壁柜存放沉重的烹饪锅、呼叫并进入电梯,以及使用厨房水龙头轻轻冲洗用过的平底锅。项目网站:https://mobile-aloha.github.io
Imitation learning from human demonstrations has shown impressive performance in robotics. However, most results focus on table-top manipulation, lacking the mobility and dexterity necessary for generally useful tasks. In this work, we develop a system for imitating mobile manipulation tasks that are bimanual and require whole-body control. We first present Mobile ALOHA, a low-cost and whole-body teleoperation system for data collection. It augments the ALOHA system with a mobile base, and a whole-body teleoperation interface. Using data collected with Mobile ALOHA, we then perform supervised behavior cloning and find that co-training with existing static ALOHA datasets boosts performance on mobile manipulation tasks. With 50 demonstrations for each task, co-training can increase success rates by up to 90%, allowing Mobile ALOHA to autonomously complete complex mobile manipulation tasks such as sauteing and serving a piece of shrimp, opening a two-door wall cabinet to store heavy cooking pots, calling and entering an elevator, and lightly rinsing a used pan using a kitchen faucet.
