Getting Started with Robot Learning¶
Welcome to robot learning! This guide will help you get started quickly.
Choose Your Path¶
Path 1: Imitation Learning (Fastest)¶
Time to first results: 1-2 weeks
Best for: Manipulation tasks with demonstrations
Steps: 1. Collect demonstrations 2. Prepare dataset 3. Train policy 4. Deploy
Path 2: Reinforcement Learning¶
Time to first results: 2-4 weeks
Best for: Tasks with clear rewards, simulation
Steps: 1. Set up simulator 2. Define reward 3. Train with PPO/SAC 4. Sim-to-real transfer
Path 3: Vision-Language-Action Models¶
Time to first results: 3-6 weeks
Best for: Multi-task manipulation with language
Steps: 1. Understand VLA concepts 2. Choose pre-trained model 3. Fine-tune 4. Deploy
