UniLatent: Cross-Embodiment Transfer via Latent Observation Alignment

UniLatent: Cross-Embodiment Transfer via Latent Observation Alignment

Summary

This paper introduces UniLatent, a framework for cross-embodiment robot policy transfer that aligns source and target robot observations in a shared latent space without pixel-level image translation. The method achieves up to 93% zero-shot success across three simulation tasks and two target robot arms, outperforming the strongest pixel-translation baseline by over 30 points on average. In real-world xArm-to-Franka transfer, fine-tuning with only 10 target demonstrations per task yields 27/30 successful rollouts. Code, videos, and data are available at https://selina2023.github.io/unilatent/.

Editorial context

The authors present UniLatent, a framework for transferring robot policies across different embodiments by aligning observations in a shared latent space, achieving up to 93% zero-shot success in simulation and 27/30 successful rollouts in real-world xArm-to-Franka transfer with minimal fine-tuning.
