Reports from East China Normal University Provide New Insights into Robotics (Vme-transformer: Enhancing Visual Memory Encoding for Navigation In Interactive Environments)

Researchers detail new data in Robotics. According to news reporting originating from Shanghai, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “The efficiency of a robotic system is primarily determined by its ability to navigate complex and interactive environments. In real-world scenarios, cluttered surroundings are common, requiring a robot to navigate diverse spaces and displace objects to pave a path towards its objective.” Financial support for this research came from Science & Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality (STCSM). Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from East China Normal University, “Consequently, ‘Visual Interactive Navigation’ presents several challenges, including how to retain historical exploration information from partially observable visual signals, and how to utilize sparse rewards in reinforcement learning to simultaneously learn a latent representation and a control policy. Addressing these challenges, we introduce a Transformer-based Visual Memory Encoder (VME-Transformer), capable of embedding both recent and long-term exploration information into memory. Additionally, we explicitly estimate the robot’s next pose, conditioned on the impending action, to bootstrap the learning process of the high-capacity VME-Transformer. We further regularize the value function by introducing input perturbations, thereby enhancing its generalization capabilities in previously unseen environments.”
