Abstract:
Intelligent robot matters. Our research goal is to build a “brain” that enables agents to perceive human activities, reason human behavior logic, learn skills from human activities, and interact with the environment. In this talk, we will present our old and new works covering the understanding of human-object-scene, visual reasoning for human actions and object concepts, and robot learning for object manipulation. Our framework consists of three parts: 1. Grounding from the physical world to the symbolic concept space; 2. Casual reasoning based on extracted knowledge and concepts; 3. Agent skill learning and planning. Besides, we will discuss possible paths to future work on embodied and data-centric AI, given the recent dramatic changes in the AI landscape.
