Learning-based systems still require large amounts of data for effective generalization. Our CoRL 2025 paper, D-CODA, expands data without simulators or environment interactions by generating novel view-consistent wrist-camera images and action labels for bimanual robots. ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡

The original states are augmented every k๏ฟผ time steps, resulting in out-of-distribution states. The non-augmented states remain in-distribution and guide the behavior cloning policies to complete the tasks.

Tasks requiring two-hand coordination and fine-grained manipulation remain challenging for current robotic systems. Our CoRL 2024 paper proposes a sample-efficient, language-conditioned, voxel-based method that utilizes Vision Language Models to address these challenges. ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡
