Towards diverse zero-shot manipulation via actualizing visual plans

GHC 4405

Abstract: In this thesis, we seek to learn a generalizable goal-conditioned policy that enables zero-shot robot manipulation — interacting with unseen objects in novel scenes without test-time adaptation. Robots that can be reliably deployed out-of-the-box in new scenarios have the potential for helping humans in everyday tasks. Not requiring any test-time training through demonstrations or [...]
