Core Concepts
3D Diffusion Policy integrates 3D visual representations with diffusion policies to enhance robot learning efficiency and effectiveness.
Abstract
The 3D Diffusion Policy (DP3) is a novel visual imitation learning approach that combines the power of 3D visual representations with diffusion policies. It achieves remarkable success in diverse simulated and real-world tasks, showcasing superior accuracy, generalizability, and safety compared to baseline methods. DP3's efficient integration of compact 3D representations extracted from point clouds enables precise control with minimal demonstrations across various tasks, highlighting the critical role of 3D representations in real-world robot learning.
Stats
DP3 successfully handles most tasks with just 10 demonstrations and surpasses baselines with a 55.3% relative improvement.
In real robot tasks, DP3 demonstrates precise control with a high success rate of 85%, given only 40 demonstrations of each task.
DP3 rarely violates safety requirements in real-world experiments, unlike baseline methods which frequently do.
DP3 achieves an inference speed marginally surpassing Diffusion Policy, showcasing efficient scaling capabilities.
