This paper explores imitation learning approaches for robotic manipulation and locomotion, utilizing open-source data. The authors investigate the trade-off between performance and action horizon in diffusion policies, which predict controls or trajectories using multimodal action distributions. They highlight that larger models achieve better generalizability but come with slower inference speeds. To address this issue, they propose methods to optimize robot computational constraints while maintaining model performance.

This paper helps us learn how robots can copy human actions using big data. It looks at two main problems: making sure the robot doesn’t make too many mistakes and finding a good balance between what the robot can do and how fast it can do it. The researchers want to figure out how to use computer power efficiently so that robots can get better at copying human actions.
