This paper presents a novel approach called Imitation Learning, which enables robots to learn complex skills through imitation. The recently proposed Diffusion Policy achieves state-of-the-art performance compared to other methods by generating robot action sequences through a conditional denoising diffusion process. The paper summarizes the key components of the Diffusion Policy, including observation sequence input, action sequence execution, receding horizon, U-Net or Transformer network architecture, and FiLM conditioning. The study conducts experiments across ManiSkill and Adroit benchmarks to elucidate the contribution of each component to the success of the Diffusion Policy in various scenarios.

This paper is about a new way for robots to learn new skills by copying others. The technique is called Imitation Learning, and it’s very good at teaching robots complex tasks. A part of this method is called Diffusion Policy, which helps robots decide what actions to take next. The researchers did some tests on two special benchmarks called ManiSkill and Adroit to see how well the Diffusion Policy works in different situations.
