Local Motion Matters: A Deconstruct-Recompose Paradigm for Reinforcement Learning Pre-training from Videos
arXiv:2607.00808v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pre-training on large-scale videos to improve reinforcement learning efficiency is promising yet remains challenging. Existing methods typically treat the agent as an indivisible entity, modeling motion patterns globally. Such global modeling is tightly coupled with the morphology, hindering transfer across domains. In contrast, despite the vast disparity in global motions, the local components exhibit similar motion patterns across different agents. Building on this insight, we propose a novel Deconstruct-Recompose Paradigm (DRP) for learning tr
The continuous push for more efficient and adaptable AI models, particularly in reinforcement learning, drives innovation in pre-training methods.
This research addresses a key limitation in current reinforcement learning pre-training, enabling more robust and transferable AI behaviors across diverse physical embodiments and environments.
Pre-training for reinforcement learning can now leverage local motion patterns, allowing models to generalize better across different agent morphologies and potentially accelerating the development of generalist AI agents.
