Masked visual pre-training for motor control

T **ao, I Radosavovic, T Darrell, J Malik - arxiv preprint arxiv:2203.06173, 2022 - arxiv.org
This paper shows that self-supervised visual pre-training from real-world images is effective
for learning motor control tasks from pixels. We first train the visual representations by …
