Robot Utility Models: General Policies for Zero-Shot Deployment in New Environments

Listened to the podcast on here.

It’s mostly practical paper about trying out different datasets, there’s not much contribution in terms of architecture.

Contribution:

• introduce a new data collection method (analogous to UMI)
• They use a VQ-BET as the best architecture
