Dobb·E
About Dobb·E
Dobb·E is an open-source framework designed to teach robots household tasks quickly and effectively. Users can collect data using a simple tool called the Stick, enabling robots to learn and adapt in new environments. Its unique approach solves the challenge of replicating human-like imitation learning efficiently.
Dobb·E offers free access to its software and models, promoting accessibility for researchers and developers. Users can leverage the open-source resources for experimentation. Pricing plans revolve around community support, with potential future tiers that enhance functionality through advanced features and dedicated support for upgraded users.
Dobb·E features an intuitive user interface that emphasizes ease of navigation. The design incorporates clear pathways for data collection and task training, ensuring a seamless experience. Users can easily access resources, including documentation and community guidelines, which enhances overall usability and engagement with Dobb·E.
How Dobb·E works
Users interact with Dobb·E by first utilizing the Stick to demonstrate household tasks. The collected data is processed to train the Home Pretrained Representations (HPR) model, facilitating quick adaptation to new tasks in different homes. This process is user-friendly, allowing anyone to efficiently teach robots without technical expertise.
Key Features for Dobb·E
Imitation Learning with the Stick
Dobb·E's unique imitation learning feature utilizes the Stick, a demonstration tool that collects user interactions efficiently. This innovation allows robots to learn household tasks quickly, requiring only a five-minute demonstration, creating unprecedented ease for training robots in real-world environments.
Home Pretrained Representations (HPR)
The Home Pretrained Representations (HPR) model is a core feature of Dobb·E, pre-trained on a diverse dataset. This model facilitates effective robot adaptation to new tasks, significantly increasing efficiency and success rates by leveraging prior learning experiences to handle novel environments seamlessly.
Homes of New York (HoNY) Dataset
Dobb·E includes the Homes of New York (HoNY) dataset, which comprises extensive interaction data from various households. This dataset enhances the framework's learning algorithms, enabling robust model training and improving robots' task performance across different home environments.
