Check out new work from the group on data-efficient learning of symbolic world models!

World models hold a lot of promise for robotics, but they're data hungry and often struggle with long horizons. We learn models from a few (< 10) human demos that enable a robot to plan in completely novel scenes! Our key idea is to model *symbols* not pixels 👇



Check out Leslie Kaelbling's #RLC2025 Keynote where she talks about some new pespectives and a number of new works from the group: youtube.com/watch?v=10OjAI…

#ICRA2025 🤖 I spent 3 years of PhD making efficient long-horizon manipulation planning algorithms. VLMs ultimately provide the essential common-sense and horizon-reduction benefits. ❗VLMs can generate plausible robot task plans, but actions may not be feasible for robots due to…


Check out new coverage by @MIT_CSAIL of our lab members' recent work!

Can we teach a robot its limits to do chores safely & correctly? 🧵 To help robots execute open-ended, multi-step tasks, MIT CSAIL researchers used vision models to see what’s near the machine & model its constraints. An LLM sketches up a plan that’s checked in a simulator to…

Check out new work on scene completion and grasping from a single RGB-D image!

🚀Excited to share SceneComplete: an open-world 3D scene completion system for constructing a complete, segmented 3D model of a scene from a single RGB-D image.🖼️🤖 SceneComplete enables dexterous grasping and robust robot manipulation in highly cluttered scenes - a short 🧵

Incredible insights from Prof. Tomás Lozano-Pérez of MIT during his keynote on the evolution of robotics! He took us on a journey through the shifting landscape of robotics over the years, discussing “inverted pendulum” theory of Robotics. #CoRL2024 #RobotLearning #AI #Robotics

How can we get VLMs to help robots solve complex long-horizon tasks? Introducing VisualPredicator: an agent that leverages VLMs to learn predicates and operators for classical planners. Our system can stack blocks, balance weights on a balance beam, and even pour coffee🦾! [1/9]

Check out (and consider submitting!) this #CORL2024 workshop co-organized by several lab members!

Super excited to be co-organizing this workshop at the intersection of Learning and Planning @corl_conf 2024! Join us for interesting ideas, cutting-edge talks, and some spicy panel discussions on classical and learning-based robot systems! #CORL2024 🤖

Check out recent coverage of some of our work (presented at #RSS2024) by @MIT_CSAIL!!!

The phrase "practice makes perfect" is great advice for humans — and also a helpful maxim for robots 🧵 Instead of requiring a human expert to guide such improvement, MIT & The AI Institute’s "Estimate, Extrapolate, and Situate" (EES) algorithm enables these machines to practice…

Can we get robots to improve at long-horizon tasks without supervision? Our latest work tackles this problem by planning to practice! Here's a teaser showing initial task -> autonomous practice -> eval (+ interference by a gremlin👿)

Happy to have our work presented at RSS 2024 in Session 2 Planning! We build a planning pipeline on Spot for long-horizon mobile manipulation directly in physical world. The key is to decide interdependent cont. parameters of a sequence of parameterized skills on a real robot.
