Deep 3D Geometric Reasoning for Robot Manipulation

GHC 4405

Abstract: To solve general manipulation tasks in real-world environments, robots must be able to perceive and condition their manipulation policies on the 3D world. These agents will need to understand various common-sense spatial/geometric concepts about manipulation tasks: that local geometry can suggest potential manipulation strategies, that policies should be invariant across choice of reference frame, [...]

Toward an ImageNet Moment for Synthetic Data

1305 Newell Simon Hall

Abstract:  Data, especially large-scale labeled data, has been a critical driver of progress in computer vision. However, many important tasks remain starved of high-quality data. Synthetic data from computer graphics is a promising solution to this challenge, but still remains in limited use. This talk will present our work on Infinigen, a procedural synthetic data [...]
