Two new AI systems, ALOHA Unleashed and DemoStart, help robots learn to perform complex tasks that require dexterous movement
Robots need to get better at making contact with physical objects in dynamic environments to be more useful in people’s lives. Two new AI systems, ALOHA Unleashed and DemoStart, are paving the way for robots that can perform a wide variety of helpful tasks.
ALOHA Unleashed helps robots learn to perform complex and novel two-armed manipulation tasks, while DemoStart uses simulations to improve real-world performance on a multi-fingered robotic hand.
Improving imitation learning with two robotic arms
ALOHA Unleashed achieves a high level of dexterity in bi-arm manipulation, allowing robots to perform tasks like tying shoelaces, hanging shirts, repairing other robots, and more.
The ALOHA Unleashed method builds on our ALOHA 2 platform, enabling robots to learn new tasks with fewer demonstrations and greater dexterity.
Learning robotic behaviors from few simulated demonstrations
DemoStart uses a reinforcement learning algorithm to help robots acquire dexterous behaviors in simulation, reducing the need for physical experiments.
The robot achieves high success rates across various tasks in simulation and the real world, showcasing its ability to learn complex tasks with minimal demonstrations.
The future of robot dexterity
Advancements in AI dexterity research are paving the way for robots to assist in various tasks, making homes and workplaces more efficient.
Despite the challenges ahead, progress in robotic dexterity research is crucial for building a future where robots can handle objects with the precision of humans.
