Researchers have developed CLAM (Continuous Latent Action Models), a new framework for robot learning that can infer continuous latent actions from unlabeled demonstration data. This approach bypasses the need for expensive, action-labeled expert data by using self-supervised dynamics prediction and a small amount of task-agnostic play data to train an action decoder. CLAM has demonstrated significant improvements, achieving 2-3x higher task success rates on various robotic tasks compared to previous methods, and approaching the performance of behavior cloning that uses privileged expert action labels.
