ROSO: Improving Robotic Policy Inference via Synthetic Observations
In this paper, we propose the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) to improve zero-shot performance of a pre-trained policy by altering observations during inference. Modern robotic systems, powered by advanced neural networks, have demonstrated remarkable capabilities on pre-trained tasks. However, generalizing and adapting to new objects and environments is challenging, and fine-tuning visuomotor policies is time-consuming. To overcome these issues we propose Robotic Policy Inference via Synthetic Observations (ROSO). ROSO uses stable diffusion to pre-process a robot's observation of novel objects during inference time to fit within its distribution of observations of the pre-trained policies. This novel paradigm allows us to transfer learned knowledge from known tasks to previously unseen scenarios, enhancing the robot's adaptability without requiring lengthy fine-tuning. Our experiments show that incorporating generative AI into robotic inference significantly improves successful outcomes, finishing up to 57% of tasks otherwise unsuccessful with the pre-trained policy.
