Helping robots practice skills independently to adapt to unfamiliar environments
A robot rapidly specializes its skills using parameter policy learning, where the machine can rapidly specialize at specific, smaller actions within a long-horizon task. The MIT CSAIL algorithm enables autonomous practice to improve at mobile-manipulation activities.
