arXiv:2606.10918v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The recent trend in scaling models for robot learning has resulted in impressive policies that can perform various manipulation tasks and generalize to novel scenarios. However, these policies continue to struggle with following instructions, likely due to the limited linguistic and action sequence diversity in existing robotics datasets. This paper introduces Task Robustness via Re-Labelling Vision-Action Robot Data (TREAD), a scalable framework that leverages large Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to augment existing robotics datasets without ad
The proliferation of powerful large Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and the increasing demand for robust robotic policies enable novel approaches to augment existing robotics datasets, addressing current limitations in data diversity.
This development allows for more scalable and capable robot learning, potentially accelerating the deployment of highly versatile autonomous systems across various industries by improving their ability to follow complex instructions.
Robot learning policies can now benefit from significantly augmented datasets, leading to increased task robustness and improved generalization capabilities without requiring entirely new data collection efforts for every scenario.
