Learning generalist embodied agents, able to solve multitudes of tasks in different domains is a long-standing problem.

Furthermore, by introducing a data-free policy learning strategy, our approach lays the groundwork for foundational policy learning using generative world models.

The abstract is promising, but we still need to inspect the full paper for compute cost, implementation complexity, and how broadly the gains transfer beyond the reported benchmarks.

• Problem framing: Learning generalist embodied agents, able to solve multitudes of tasks in different domains is a long-standing problem.
• Method signal: Furthermore, by introducing a data-free policy learning strategy, our approach lays the groundwork for foundational policy learning using generative world models.
• Evidence to watch: Website, code and data: https://mazpie.github.io/genrl/
• Read-through priority: the PDF is available, so this is a good candidate for checking tables, ablations, and scaling tradeoffs beyond the abstract from NeurIPS 2024.

Existing agents have made remarkable progress in many domains, yet they still struggle to complete long-horizon tasks in an open world.

In this paper, we propose a Hybrid Multimodal Memory module to address the above challenges.

Extensive experimental results show that Optimus-1 significantly outperforms all existing agents on challenging long-horizon task benchmarks, and exhibits near human-level performance on many tasks.
