Transformer-XL for Long Sequence Tasks in Robotic Learning from Demonstration
<|reference_start|>Transformer-XL for Long Sequence Tasks in Robotic Learning from Demonstration: This paper presents an innovative application of Transformer-XL for long sequence tasks in robotic learning from demonstrations (LfD). The proposed framework effectively integrates multi-modal sensor inputs, including RGB-D images, LiDAR, and tactile sensors, to construct a comprehensive feature vector. By leveraging the advanced capabilities of Transformer-XL, particularly its attention mechanism and position encoding, our approach can handle the inherent complexities and long-term dependencies of multi-modal sensory data. The results of an extensive empirical evaluation demonstrate significant improvements in task success rates, accuracy, and computational efficiency compared to conventional methods such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The findings indicate that the Transformer-XL-based framework not only enhances the robot's perception and decision-making abilities but also provides a robust foundation for future advancements in robotic learning from demonstrations.<|reference_end|>
