VAE-Augmented Imitation Learning for Scalable Robot Manipulation

Used latent trajectory representations to improve Behavioral Cloning for robotic manipulation tasks in a kitchen environment, by training a Variational Autoencoder on low-dimensional state data to capture motion intent, phase, and context to reduce reliance on vision in constrained environments. Integrated a LLM to translate natural language instructions into 3D spatial goals, enabling multi-object manipulation achieving efficient task execution in Robosuite simulations.

Caption photos easily. On the left, a road goes through a tunnel. Middle, leaves artistically fall in a hipster photoshoot. Right, in another hipster photoshoot, a lumberjack grasps a handful of pine needles.

This image can also have a caption. It's like magic.

You can also put regular text between your rows of images, even citations (Einstein & Taub, 1950). Say you wanted to write a bit about your project before you posted the rest of the images. You describe how you toiled, sweated, bled for your project, and then… you reveal its glory in the next row of images.

The code is simple. Just wrap your images with <div class="col-sm"> and place them inside <div class="row"> (read more about the Bootstrap Grid system). To make images responsive, add img-fluid class to each; for rounded corners and shadows use rounded and z-depth-1 classes.
