“…We see evidence of this in learning affordances that relate to success/failure of bin picking (Zeng et al, 2018), traversability (Ugur et al, 2007), and success/failure of mobile manipulation (Wu et al, 2020) where thousands of predictions structured spatially in a grid pattern are learned. Second, when combined with DL, multiple predictions can be made with the same neural network by sharing earlier layers across different prediction heads, allowing for potentially sublinear scaling in the number of predictions (Graves et al, 2020b; Sherstan & Pilarski, 2014; Zeng et al, 2018). Third, as noted above, for a single prediction, the direct perception architecture operates in constant time regardless of how distant a future the prediction needs to be concerned about.…”
