New CLAM framework enables robot learning from unlabeled demonstrations

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

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. AI

IMPACT Enables more efficient robot policy learning by reducing the need for labeled data, potentially accelerating real-world robotic applications.

    CLAM: Continuous Latent Action Models for Robot Learning from Unlabeled Demonstrations

    arXiv:2505.04999v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Learning robot control policies from demonstrations typically requires action-labeled expert data, which is expensive to collect through teleoperation. We study a more practical setting in which expert demonstrations are a…
