OK-Robot- What Really Matters in Integrating Open-Knowledge Models for Robotics
Creating a general-purpose robot has been a longstanding dream of the robotics community.
当前想要实现这一目标的系统脆弱、封闭,并且在遇到未见过的情况时会失败。即使是最大的机器人模型通常也只能部署在以前见过的环境中 [5, 6]。在机器人数据很少的环境中,例如在非结构化的家庭环境中,这些系统的脆弱性会进一步加剧。
虽然大型视觉模型显示出语义理解 、检测以及将视觉表示与语言联系起来的能力并且与此同时,机器人的导航、抓取和重新排列等基本机器人技能已经相当成熟。
但是将现代视觉模型与机器人特定基元相结合的机器人系统表现非常差。
这可能是因为单纯将多个不确定性的系统组合在一起会导致准确率急剧恶化。
所以我们需要一个将VLM和机器人primitives(导航,抓取,放置)结合在一起的细致框架,即OK-Robot。

A Survey of Imitation Learning- Algorithms, Recent Developments, and Challenges
IL是区别于传统手动编程来赋予机器人自主能力的方法。
IL 允许机器通过演示(人类演示专家行为)来学习所需的行为,从而消除了对显式编程或特定于任务的奖励函数的需要。
IL主要有两个类别:
BC 是一种 IL 技术,它将学习行为的问题视为监督学习任务 。 BC 涉及通过建立环境状态与相应专家操作之间的映射来训练模型来复制专家的行为。专家的行为被记录为一组state-action pair,也称为演示。在训练过程中,模型学习一个函数,利用这些演示作为输入,将当前状态转换为相应的专家操作。经过训练,模型可以利用这个学习函数来生成遇到新状态的动作。
不需要了解环境的潜在动态,计算效率很高,相对简单的方法。
The covariate shift problem: 测试期间观察到的状态分布可能与训练期间观察到的状态分布有所不同,使得代理在遇到未见过的状态时容易出错,而对于如何进行操作缺乏明确的指导。BC监督方法的问题是,当智能体漂移并遇到分布外状态时,它不知道如何返回到演示的状态。
为了解决这个问题:
IRL 涉及一个学徒代理,其任务是推断观察到的演示背后的奖励函数,这些演示被认为源自表现最佳的专家 。然后使用推断的奖励函数通过 RL 训练学习代理的策略。
为了解决“政策->奖励函数“的模糊性,有以下三种IRL
The agent strives to deceive the discriminator by generating trajectories closely resembling those of the expert.
仅通过图像序列来学习,不需要具体的关节动作操作数据。
Unlike the traditional methods, IfO presents a more organic approach to learning from experts, mirroring how humans and animals approach imitation. Humans often learn new behaviors by observing others without detailed knowledge of their actions (e.g., the muscle commands). People learn a diverse range of tasks, from weaving to swimming to playing games, by watching online videos. Despite differences in body shapes, sensory inputs, and timing, humans exhibit an impressive ability to apply knowledge gained from the online demonstrations
将可学习的资源扩大到了线上的视频资源。
过分析观察到的动态,LAPO 推断出行动空间的底层结构,促进潜在行动策略的训练。然后,这些策略可以进行高效的微调,以达到专家级的性能,从而提供离线和在线场景的适应性。使用包含标记动作的小数据集进行离线微调是可行的,而在线微调可以使用奖励来完成。与依赖标记数据来训练逆动力学模型不同,LAPO直接从观察到的环境动态中导出潜在动作信息,而不需要任何标签。

作为实习生你需要完成网站开发,要求如下(不重要)
During the next few hours you are explained in details all the requirements you have to match. Among
the most emphasized points you learn that you must (i) use the last version of Microsoft Front Page
Express to write the websites; (ii) include as many buttons as possible (even if one is enough); (iii) when a
hidden box is expanded, do so as high as possible above the button which opened it and do not notify the
user; (iv) as much as possible do not disable or hide irrelevant information, simply include it the middle
of the useful content; (v) use and abuse pop ups; (vi) feel free to include Chinese text in the middle of
an English text; (vii) if a page includes videos, ensure they are all fully downloaded before the user can
do anything; You also learn that they pay much attention to the quality of their product, and as such
you should never forget to test your website, IE 6 being recommended.
在接下来的几个小时里,我们会详细解释您需要满足的所有要求。其中最受关注的要点是:您必须 (i) 使用最新版本的 Microsoft Front Page Express 来编写网站;(ii) 包含尽可能多的按钮(即使一个按钮就足够了);(iii) 展开隐藏框时,尽可能将其展开到打开它的按钮上方,并且不要通知用户;(iv) 尽可能不要禁用或隐藏不相关的信息,只需将其包含在有用内容的中间;(v) 使用和滥用弹出窗口;(vi) 可以在英文文本中间随意添加中文文本;(vii) 如果页面包含视频,请确保在用户执行任何操作之前,它们都已完全下载;您还了解到他们非常重视产品质量,因此您永远不要忘记测试您的网站,建议使用 IE 6.
大概是马牛特有的讽刺。。。总之就是总结了一堆网站开发的禁止事项。
因为这些要求的存在(特别是网页开发环境只能在windows下使用),我们作为一位只有一台双系统电脑的实习生遇到了障碍:
每次开发网页我们都需要切换到windows系统并暂停linux系统下的任务。然而在linux下我们需要跑一些任务,需要尽可能早去完成。
针对这些linux任务,马牛貌似将其分成了T个独立的任务,根据output推测,每个任务也可以被暂停,然后切换到windows进行开发。
可以通过把任务转交给朋友的方式来从schedule中移除部分网页开发的任务,至多两个网页。每个网页有对应的用于交易的作业量,作业量加起来不能超过HC的触发阈值。
需要注意的是,计算任务需要的时间 $t_i$ 和网页完成的deadline $t_i$ 不是一个东西,建议区分标记。

The biggest lesson that can be read from 70 years of AI research is that general methods that leverage computation are ultimately the most effective, and by a large margin. The ultimate reason for this is Moore’s law, or rather its generalization of continued exponentially falling cost per unit of computation. Most AI research has been conducted as if the computation available to the agent were constant (in which case leveraging human knowledge would be one of the only ways to improve performance) but, over a slightly longer time than a typical research project, massively more computation inevitably becomes available. Seeking an improvement that makes a difference in the shorter term, researchers seek to leverage their human knowledge of the domain, but the only thing that matters in the long run is the leveraging of computation. These two need not run counter to each other, but in practice they tend to. Time spent on one is time not spent on the other. There are psychological commitments to investment in one approach or the other. And the human-knowledge approach tends to complicate methods in ways that make them less suited to taking advantage of general methods leveraging computation. There were many examples of AI researchers’ belated learning of this bitter lesson, and it is instructive to review some of the most prominent.
In computer chess, the methods that defeated the world champion, Kasparov, in 1997, were based on massive, deep search. At the time, this was looked upon with dismay by the majority of computer-chess researchers who had pursued methods that leveraged human understanding of the special structure of chess. When a simpler, search-based approach with special hardware and software proved vastly more effective, these human-knowledge-based chess researchers were not good losers. They said that “brute force” search may have won this time, but it was not a general strategy, and anyway it was not how people played chess. These researchers wanted methods based on human input to win and were disappointed when they did not.
A similar pattern of research progress was seen in computer Go, only delayed by a further 20 years. Enormous initial efforts went into avoiding search by taking advantage of human knowledge, or of the special features of the game, but all those efforts proved irrelevant, or worse, once search was applied effectively at scale. Also important was the use of learning by self play to learn a value function (as it was in many other games and even in chess, although learning did not play a big role in the 1997 program that first beat a world champion). Learning by self play, and learning in general, is like search in that it enables massive computation to be brought to bear. Search and learning are the two most important classes of techniques for utilizing massive amounts of computation in AI research. In computer Go, as in computer chess, researchers’ initial effort was directed towards utilizing human understanding (so that less search was needed) and only much later was much greater success had by embracing search and learning.
In speech recognition, there was an early competition, sponsored by DARPA, in the 1970s. Entrants included a host of special methods that took advantage of human knowledge—knowledge of words, of phonemes, of the human vocal tract, etc. On the other side were newer methods that were more statistical in nature and did much more computation, based on hidden Markov models (HMMs). Again, the statistical methods won out over the human-knowledge-based methods. This led to a major change in all of natural language processing, gradually over decades, where statistics and computation came to dominate the field. The recent rise of deep learning in speech recognition is the most recent step in this consistent direction. Deep learning methods rely even less on human knowledge, and use even more computation, together with learning on huge training sets, to produce dramatically better speech recognition systems. As in the games, researchers always tried to make systems that worked the way the researchers thought their own minds worked—they tried to put that knowledge in their systems—but it proved ultimately counterproductive, and a colossal waste of researcher’s time, when, through Moore’s law, massive computation became available and a means was found to put it to good use.
In computer vision, there has been a similar pattern. Early methods conceived of vision as searching for edges, or generalized cylinders, or in terms of SIFT features. But today all this is discarded. Modern deep-learning neural networks use only the notions of convolution and certain kinds of invariances, and perform much better.
This is a big lesson. As a field, we still have not thoroughly learned it, as we are continuing to make the same kind of mistakes. To see this, and to effectively resist it, we have to understand the appeal of these mistakes. We have to learn the bitter lesson that building in how we think we think does not work in the long run. The bitter lesson is based on the historical observations that 1) AI researchers have often tried to build knowledge into their agents, 2) this always helps in the short term, and is personally satisfying to the researcher, but 3) in the long run it plateaus and even inhibits further progress, and 4) breakthrough progress eventually arrives by an opposing approach based on scaling computation by search and learning. The eventual success is tinged with bitterness, and often incompletely digested, because it is success over a favored, human-centric approach.
One thing that should be learned from the bitter lesson is the great power of general purpose methods, of methods that continue to scale with increased computation even as the available computation becomes very great. The two methods that seem to scale arbitrarily in this way are search and learning.
The second general point to be learned from the bitter lesson is that the actual contents of minds are tremendously, irredeemably complex; we should stop trying to find simple ways to think about the contents of minds, such as simple ways to think about space, objects, multiple agents, or symmetries. All these are part of the arbitrary, intrinsically-complex, outside world. They are not what should be built in, as their complexity is endless; instead we should build in only the meta-methods that can find and capture this arbitrary complexity. Essential to these methods is that they can find good approximations, but the search for them should be by our methods, not by us. We want AI agents that can discover like we can, not which contain what we have discovered. Building in our discoveries only makes it harder to see how the discovering process can be done.
从 70 年的人工智能研究中可以得到的最大教训是,利用计算的通用方法最终是最有效的,而且是最大的优势。其根本原因是摩尔定律,或者更确切地说是其对单位计算成本持续呈指数下降的概括。大多数人工智能研究都是在代理可用的计算是恒定的情况下进行的(在这种情况下,利用人类知识将是提高性能的唯一方法之一),但与典型的研究项目相比,在稍长的时间内,不可避免地会出现大量的计算可用。为了寻求在短期内产生影响的改进,研究人员试图利用他们对该领域的人类知识,但从长远来看,唯一重要的是利用计算。这两者不必相互矛盾,但在实践中它们往往是相互矛盾的。花在其中一个上的时间就是没有花在另一个上的时间。人们在心理上承诺投资于一种方法或另一种方法。而人类知识方法往往会使方法复杂化,使其不太适合利用利用计算的通用方法。人工智能研究人员迟迟没有吸取这一惨痛教训的例子有很多,回顾一下其中最突出的一些例子很有启发意义。
在计算机象棋中,1997 年击败世界冠军卡斯帕罗夫的方法是基于大规模深度搜索。当时,大多数计算机象棋研究人员对此感到沮丧,他们一直在寻求利用人类对象棋特殊结构的理解的方法。当一种更简单的、基于搜索的方法加上特殊的硬件和软件被证明更为有效时,这些基于人类知识的象棋研究人员就不是善于输的人了。他们说,“蛮力”搜索这次可能赢了,但这不是一种通用策略,而且无论如何它也不是人们下棋的方式。
这些研究人员希望基于人类输入的方法能够获胜,但结果却令他们失望。 计算机围棋也出现了类似的研究进展模式,只是推迟了 20 年。最初,人们付出了巨大的努力,利用人类知识或游戏的特殊功能来避免搜索,但一旦搜索被大规模有效应用,所有这些努力都被证明是无关紧要的,甚至更糟。同样重要的是使用自学来学习价值函数(就像在许多其他游戏甚至国际象棋中一样,尽管学习在 1997 年首次击败世界冠军的程序中并没有发挥重要作用)。自学和一般的学习就像搜索一样,因为它能够发挥大规模计算的作用。搜索和学习是人工智能研究中利用大量计算的两类最重要的技术。在计算机围棋中,就像在计算机国际象棋中一样,研究人员最初的努力是利用人类的理解力(这样就不需要太多的搜索),直到后来,通过采用搜索和学习才取得了更大的成功。
在语音识别方面,20 世纪 70 年代,DARPA 赞助了一场早期的竞赛。参赛者包括大量利用人类知识(单词、音素、人类声道等知识)的特殊方法。另一方面,一些较新的方法更具统计性质,并且基于隐马尔可夫模型 (HMM) 进行更多的计算。统计方法再次战胜了基于人类知识的方法。这导致了整个自然语言处理领域发生了重大变化,几十年来,统计和计算逐渐占据了主导地位。语音识别中深度学习的兴起是朝着这一一致方向迈出的最新一步。深度学习方法更少地依赖人类知识,使用更多的计算,再加上对大量训练集的学习,从而产生了更好的语音识别系统。就像在游戏中一样,研究人员总是试图制造出按照他们认为自己的想法运作的系统——他们试图将这些知识放入他们的系统中——但最终却适得其反,浪费了研究人员大量的时间,而摩尔定律让大规模计算成为可能,并找到了一种充分利用它的方法。
在计算机视觉中,也有类似的模式。早期的方法将视觉设想为搜索边缘、广义圆柱体或 SIFT 特征。但今天所有这些都被抛弃了。现代深度学习神经网络只使用卷积和某些类型的不变性的概念,而且表现要好得多。
这是一个很大的教训。作为一个领域,我们还没有彻底学会它,因为我们还在继续犯同样的错误。要看到这一点,并有效地抵制它,我们必须了解这些错误的吸引力。我们必须学会不那么痛苦.

系统安装的cuda版本可以随意,torch会优先使用虚拟环境中安装的cuda版本
安装指定版本cuda-toolkit
1 | conda install nvidia/label/cuda-12.4.0::cuda-toolkit -c nvidia/label/cuda-12.4.0 |
安装最新版本
1 | conda install cuda-toolkit |
某些仓库需要指定cuda路径才能编译包
1 | conda env config vars set LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/cyl/miniconda3/envs/gsam/lib/python3.10/site-packages/nvidia/cuda_runtime/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" |
Note: 注意改变了库路径之后nvim中的lsp会报错,建议之后改回去
1 | conda env config vars set LD_LIBRARY_PATH="" |
Note: To find the correct path for CUDA_HOME
use which nvcc
. In my case, output of the command was:
1 | >>> which nvcc |
Therefore, I set the CUDA_HOME
as /home/user/miniconda3/envs/py12/
.
Note: To find the correct path for LD_LIBRARY_PATH
use find ~ -name cuda_runtime_api.h
. In my case, output of the command was:
1 | >>> find ~ -name cuda_runtime_api.h |
So I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
as /home/user/miniconda3/envs/py12/targets/x86_64-linux/lib/
and CPATH
as /home/user/miniconda3/envs/py12/targets/x86_64-linux/include/
. If you have multiple CUDA installations, the output of find ~ -name cuda_runtime_api.h
will display multiple paths. Make sure to choose the path that corresponds to the environment you have created.
