Not only is this an interesting approach, but it works great! Outperforms everything we benchmarked against.
Check out our new grasping work, OrbitGrasp! It achieved a 98% grasping success rate by learning the SE(3)-equivariant grasp quality distribution using spherical harmonics. I’ll be at #CoRL2024 to present this paper.

Instead of inferring a desired object pose directly, this method "imagines" a reconstruction of the entire scene in the target pose. Surprisingly, we find that this improves sample efficiency, even though we are inferring more information.
Checkout our new work, Imagination Policy. We leverage a point cloud diffusion model to “imagine” a target scene, then use SVD to calculate rigid transformations that bring objects to the imagined scene as robot actions. More importantly, Imagination Policy is bi-equivariant!.

I'm excited about this work. The equivariant model significantly reduces the number of demos needed to train good diffusion policies.
Introducing Equivariant Diffusion Policy, a novel sample efficient BC algorithm based on equivariant diffusion. Our method leverages the symmetry in policy denoising to boost learning — needing 5x less training data in sim and mastering complex tasks in real-world with <60 demos.

I'm looking for PhD students for Fall 2023 to work at the intersection of Robotic Manipulation, Imitation Learning, and RL. I'm particularly interested in applying novel neural models like geometric DL. Apply by 12/15. @KhouryCollege @HelpingHandsLab.
