Explore how our Franka robots play a pivotal role in the groundbreaking #RoboPoint! This research is advancing how our robots manage everyday tasks, from household chores and organizing objects to more complex operations. Vision-language models (VLMs) often face challenges in translating instructions into accurate actions. To address this, the RoboPoint team created a data generation pipeline that tailors VLMs for #robotics, allowing the model to predict key spatial points based on #language. The outcome? ROBOPOINT surpasses leading models like GPT-4o, improving spatial prediction accuracy by 21.8% and task success rates by 30.5%. The precision and adaptability of our Franka robots are key to these achievements, enhancing both #accuracy and #efficiency. 1️⃣ Read the Full Paper: https://lnkd.in/dSMc33TC 2️⃣ Explore the Project: https://lnkd.in/dU94WkBr 👏Kudos to the teams at University of Washington, NVIDIA, Ai2, and Universidad Católica San Pablo for their significant contributions to robotics research. Special thanks to Naveen Manwani for highlighting this exciting project.

🚨Paper Alert 🚨 ➡️Paper Title: RoboPoint: A Vision-Language Model for Spatial Affordance Prediction for Robotics 🌟Few pointers from the paper 🎯From rearranging objects on a table to putting groceries into shelves, robots must plan precise action points to perform tasks accurately and reliably. In Spite of the recent adoption of vision language models (VLMs) to control robot behavior, VLMs struggle to precisely articulate robot actions using language. 🎯 The Authors of this paper introduced an automatic synthetic data generation pipeline that instruction-tunes VLMs to robotic domains needs. Using the pipeline, they trained “ROBOPOINT” , a VLM that predicts image keypoint affordances given language instructions. 🎯 Compared to alternative approaches, their method requires no real-world data collection or human demonstration, making it much more scalable to diverse environments and viewpoints. In addition, ROBOPOINT is a general model that enables several downstream applications such as robot navigation, manipulation, and augmented reality (AR) assistance. 🎯Their experiments demonstrate that ROBOPOINT outperforms state-of-the-art VLMs (GPT-4o) and visual prompting techniques (PIVOT) by 21.8% in the accuracy of predicting spatial affordance and by 30.5% in the success rate of downstream tasks. 🏢Organization: University of Washington, NVIDIA, Ai2, Universidad Católica San Pablo 🧙Paper Authors: Wentao Yuan, Jiafei Duan, Valts Blukis, Wilbert Pumacay, Ranjay Krishna, Adithya Murali, Arsalan Mousavian, Dieter Fox 1️⃣Read the Full Paper here: https://lnkd.in/gv4panHU 2️⃣Project Page: https://lnkd.in/g-XrYVBF 🎥 Be sure to watch the attached Demo Video -Sound on 🔊🔊 Find this Valuable 💎 ? ♻️REPOST and teach your network something new Follow me 👣, Naveen Manwani, for the latest updates on Tech and AI-related news, insightful research papers, and exciting announcements. #VLM #GPT4o #robotics #AR

Researchers at MIT CSAIL have developed a new method to train home robots using simulation. By scanning parts of their home with an iPhone, users can upload the layout into a simulation, allowing robots to practice tasks like placing a mug in a dishwasher. This technique enables robots to learn and fail safely, trying tasks thousands of times in a virtual environment. Researcher Pulkit Agrawal highlights that this method helps robots adapt to the dynamic and unstructured nature of real homes, improving their functionality and efficiency.
