MIT News April 19, 2023 Autonomous robots can learn to perform visual navigation tasks from offline human demonstrations and generalize online and unseen scenarios within the same environment they have been trained on. It is challenging for these agents to take a step further and robustly generalize to new environments with drastic scenery changes that they have never encountered. Researchers at MIT have developed a method to create robust flight navigation agents that successfully perform vision-based fly-to-target tasks beyond their training environment under drastic distribution shifts. They designed an imitation learning framework using liquid neural networks, a brain-inspired class of […]
