This repository has code for our ICML 2020 paper on Learning Robot Skills with Temporal Variational Inference, authored by Tanmay Shankar and Abhinav Gupta.
Our paper presents a way to jointly learn robot skills and how to use them from demonstrations in an unsupervised manner. The code implements the training procedure for this across 3 different datasets, and provides tools to visualize the learnt skills.

Great! Feel free to mail Tanmay ([email protected]), for help, suggestions, questions and feedback. You can also create issues in the repository, if you feel like the problem is pertinent to others.
You will need a few packages to be able to run the code in this repository. For Robotic environments, you will need to install Mujoco, Mujoco_Py, OpenAI Gym, and Robosuite. Here is a list of instructions on how to set these up.
You will also need some standard deep learning packages, Pytorch, Tensorflow, Tensorboard, and TensorboardX. Usually you can just pip install these packages. We recommend using a virtual environment for them.
We are compiling a list of commands to run pre-training and joint skill learning on the various datasets used in our paper. Stay tuned for more!
