The robot is tasked with finding and following a humanoid while maintaining a safe distance. Think of making a video call.
A robot and a humanoid work collaboratively to rearrange a set of objects from their initial locations to desired locations, emulating the task of cleaning up a house.
End-to-end RL learns collaborative behaviors such as yielding space to the humanoid, ensuring their unobstructed movement.
Learned policies efficiently split the task between the robot and the humanoid, even for unseen collaborators, improving efficiency over the humanoid operating alone.
