“…NeRF predicts the RGB color and density of a point in a scene so that an image from an arbitrary viewpoint can be rendered. This property enables pose estimation [1,30,31,44] based on the photometric loss between the observed image and the rendered image, or manipulation of tricky objects [5,12,14,25,29]. A pretrained NeRF can also work as a virtual simulator, in which a robot can plan its trajectory [1] or can be used to train an action policy for the real-world [6].…”

We propose a novel type of map for visual navigation, a renderable neural radiance map (RNR-Map), which is designed to contain the overall visual information of a 3D environment. The RNR-Map has a grid form and consists of latent codes at each pixel. These latent codes are embedded from image observations, and can be converted to the neural radiance field which enables image rendering given a camera pose. The recorded latent codes implicitly contain visual information about the environment, which makes the RNR-Map visually descriptive. This visual information in RNR-Map can be a useful guideline for visual localization and navigation. We develop localization and navigation frameworks that can effectively utilize the RNR-Map. We evaluate the proposed frameworks on camera tracking, visual localization, and image-goal navigation. Experimental results show that the RNR-Map-based localization framework can find the target location based on a single query image with fast speed and competitive accuracy compared to other baselines. Also, this localization framework is robust to environmental changes, and even finds the most visually similar places when a query image from a different environment is given. The proposed navigation framework outperforms the existing image-goal navigation methods in difficult scenarios, under odometry and actuation noises. The navigation framework shows 65.7% success rate in curved scenarios of the NRNS [23] dataset, which is an improvement of 18.6% over the current state-of-the-art.

“…However, these approaches often require retraining the NeRF model before each grasp to update the environment states. GraspN-eRF [20] addresses this constraint by proposing a generalisable NeRF that is free from per-scene optimisation. Nevertheless, GraspNeRF is not object-centric and thus cannot interpret the scene at the object level.…”

Recent advances in unsupervised learning for object detection, segmentation, and tracking hold significant promise for applications in robotics. A common approach is to frame these tasks as inference in probabilistic latent-variable models. In this paper, however, we show that the current state-of-the-art struggles with visually complex scenes such as typically encountered in robot manipulation tasks. We propose APEX, a new latent-variable model which is able to segment and track objects in more realistic scenes featuring objects that vary widely in size and texture, including the robot arm itself. This is achieved by a principled mask normalisation algorithm and a high-resolution scene encoder. To evaluate our approach, we present results on the real-world Sketchy dataset. This dataset, however, does not contain ground truth masks and object IDs for a quantitative evaluation. We thus introduce the Panda Pushing Dataset (P2D) which shows a Panda arm interacting with objects on a table in simulation and which includes groundtruth segmentation masks and object IDs for tracking. In both cases, APEX comprehensively outperforms the current state-ofthe-art in unsupervised object segmentation and tracking. We demonstrate the efficacy of our segmentations for robot skill execution on an object arrangement task, where we also achieve the best or comparable performance among all the baselines.
