LocoFormer (wip)

LocoFormer - Generalist Locomotion via Long-Context Adaptation

The gist is they trained a simple Transformer-XL in simulation on robots with many different bodies (cross-embodiment) and extreme domain randomization. When transferring to the real-world, they noticed the robot now gains the ability to adapt to insults. The XL memories span across multiple trials, which allowed the robot to learn in-context adaptation.

Install

$ pip install locoformer

Usage

import torch
from locoformer.locoformer import Locoformer

# mock robot embodied with some state dimensions and action dimensions

locoformer = Locoformer(
    embedder = dict(
        dim = 512,
        dim_state = [32, 16], # support multiple bodies / robots
    ),
    unembedder = dict(
        num_continuous = 12 + 6,
        selectors = [
            list(range(12)),
            list(range(12, 12 + 6))
        ]
    ),
    transformer = dict(
        dim = 512,
        depth = 6,
        heads = 8,
        window_size = 32
    )
)

# mock state from one of the robots (0th one)

state = torch.randn(1, 1, 32)

# forward to get action logits

action_logits, _ = locoformer(
    state,
    state_embed_kwargs = dict(state_type = 'raw'),
    state_id_kwarg = dict(state_id = 0),
    action_select_kwargs = dict(selector_index = 0)
)

# sample action using the internal distribution

action = locoformer.unembedder.sample(action_logits, selector_index = 0) # (1, 1, 12)
