abstract
Humans and animals are capable of learning a new behavior by observing others perform the skill just once. We consider the problem of allowing a robot to do the same -- learning from a raw video pixels of a human, even when there is substantial domain shift in the perspective, environment, and embodiment between the robot and the observed human. Prior approaches to this problem have hand-specified how human and robot actions correspond and often relied on explicit human pose detection systems. In this work, we present an approach for one-shot learning from a video of a human by using human and robot demonstration data from a variety of previous tasks to build up prior knowledge through meta-learning. Then, combining this prior knowledge and only a single video demonstration from a human, the robot can perform the task that the human demonstrated. We show experiments on both a PR2 arm and a Sawyer arm, demonstrating that after meta-learning, the robot can learn to place, push, and pick-and-place new objects using just one video of a human performing the manipulation.

A low-cost whole-body teleoperation system enables effective imitation learning for complex bimanual mobile manipulation by co-training on mobile and static demonstration datasets.
EPI policies use a transition-predictability reward to probe environments and condition task policies, outperforming standard generalization methods on novel test environments.
A large multi-task multi-domain robot dataset combined with 50 new demonstrations yields 2x higher success rates on never-before-seen tasks in new domains.
