A generalist agent

S Reed, K Zolna, E Parisotto, SG Colmenarejo… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Inspired by progress in large-scale language modeling, we apply a similar approach
towards building a single generalist agent beyond the realm of text outputs. The agent …

Roboagent: Generalization and efficiency in robot manipulation via semantic augmentations and action chunking

H Bharadhwaj, J Vakil, M Sharma… - … on Robotics and …, 2024 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The grand aim of having a single robot that can manipulate arbitrary objects in diverse
settings is at odds with the paucity of robotics datasets. Acquiring and growing such datasets …

Replay in minds and machines

L Wittkuhn, S Chien, S Hall-McMaster… - … & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2021 - Elsevier
Experience-related brain activity patterns reactivate during sleep, wakeful rest, and brief
pauses from active behavior. In parallel, machine learning research has found that …

Collaborating with humans without human data

DJ Strouse, K McKee, M Botvinick… - Advances in …, 2021 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Collaborating with humans requires rapidly adapting to their individual strengths,
