Ondrej Biza is a 5th year PhD Candidate at Northeastern University and an Intern at the Boston Dynamics AI Institute. His research focuses on learning structured representations in robotics and computer vision, including learning to discover and represent objects and learning and transferring robotic manipulation policies. Previously, Ondrej was a Student Researcher at Google Research in the Brain team in Amsterdam and an undergraduate researcher at the Czech Technical University in Prague.

Robotics researchers have made great strides in learning general manipulation policies. But, many challenges remain. In particular, we need policies that generalize between object instances, re-arrangements of scenes and viewpoint changes, as well as the ability to learn skills from a few demonstrations.

In the first part of my talk, I will describe how we can use a representation based on the warping of object shapes to generalize skills across unseen object instances. I will show that this representation enables one-shot learning of object re-arrangement policies with a high success rate on a physical robot. In the second part, I will discuss my previous work at Google Research called Invariant Slot Attention. Inspired by theories of human cognition, I will show that learning to represent objects invariant of their pose and size improves fully unsupervised object discovery.

Finally, I will talk about my interests for future research, especially in scaling up pre-training in robotics, autonomous data collection and policy learning and object-oriented 3D scene representations.
