让机器人学会犯错后自我修复,比单纯模仿更可靠。

A Smooth Sea Never Made a Skilled SAILOR: Robust Imitation via Learning to Search

  • 用世界模型和奖励模型构建搜索能力,实现错误后的自主恢复
  • 在12个视觉操作任务中超越基于扩散的模仿学习方法
  • 适合需要高鲁棒性、能应对未知情况的智能体训练

行为克隆(BC)仅教会智能体在专家访问过的状态中做什么,一旦出错偏离演示分布,就无法自愈。为此,我们提出学习搜索(L2S),通过专家示范学习世界模型与奖励模型,在测试时可自主规划以达成专家目标,即使出错也能恢复。我们在三个基准的12个视觉操作任务上验证,所提方法SAILOR始终优于同数据下训练的先进扩散策略。即使将演示数据量提升5-10倍,差距仍存在。SAILOR能识别细微失败,对奖励劫持具有鲁棒性。代码已公开。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The fundamental limitation of the behavioral cloning (BC) approach to imitation learning is that it only teaches an agent what the expert did at states the expert visited. This means that when a BC agent makes a mistake which takes them out of the support of the demonstrations, they often don't know how to recover from it. In this sense, BC is akin to giving the agent the fish -- giving them dense supervision across a narrow set of states -- rather than teaching them to fish: to be able to reason independently about achieving the expert's outcome even when faced with unseen situations at test-time. In response, we explore learning to search (L2S) from expert demonstrations, i.e. learning the components required to, at test time, plan to match expert outcomes, even after making a mistake. These include (1) a world model and (2) a reward model. We carefully ablate the set of algorithmic and design decisions required to combine these and other components for stable and sample/interaction-efficient learning of recovery behavior without additional human corrections. Across a dozen visual manipulation tasks from three benchmarks, our approach SAILOR consistently out-performs state-of-the-art Diffusion Policies trained via BC on the same data. Furthermore, scaling up the amount of demonstrations used for BC by 5-10x still leaves a performance gap. We find that SAILOR can identify nuanced failures and is robust to reward hacking.
