内容:

With rapid advances in deep learning, we have witnessed impressive demonstrations of novel robot capabilities in research settings. However, these learning systems exhibit brittle generalization and require excessive training data for practical tasks. To harness the capabilities of state-of-the-art robot learning models while embracing their imperfections, we present Sirius, a principled framework for humans and robots to collaborate through a division of work. Our key idea is to improve robot autonomy over long-term deployments with humans in the loop. We introduce a new learning algorithm to enhance the policy's performance based on the data collected from task executions and demonstrate that Sirius consistently outperforms baselines across a range of contact-rich manipulation tasks.
