Per-point affordance fields let equivariant policies focus on task-relevant regions

The authors show that replacing the fixed gripper-frame anchor with a learned, score-weighted centroid improves success rates on simulation and real-robot tasks while preserving SE(3) equivariance.

The authors introduce phase-conditioned affordance fields (PAF), per-point scores learned by an SE(3)-equivariant visuomotor policy.

The authors extend an SE(3)-equivariant visuomotor policy with a phase-conditioned affordance field, a per-point score computed over the observed point cloud.

Independent

In one line

A phase-conditioned affordance field improves SE(3)-equivariant visuomotor policies by learning per-point scores that anchor actions to task-relevant regions.
