AdaTracker is a framework that enables a single policy to perform adaptive active visual tracking across diverse robotic platforms in a zero-shot manner by implicitly inferring embodiment-specific constraints. The system achieved a mean success rate of 0.91 across unseen simulated environments and successfully adapted to real-world wheeled, quadruped, and drone robots without retraining.

Key insights

  • Implicitly inferring and encoding embodiment-specific constraints from interaction history provides a more effective and adaptable conditioning signal for cross-embodiment policies than explicit descriptors.
  • Auxiliary tasks, such as predicting immediate reward and camera height, significantly stabilize and enhance the relevance of the learned latent embodiment context for robust policy control.
  • Conditioning a recurrent control policy on a dynamically inferred and stable embodiment context enables robust zero-shot generalization across heterogeneous robotic platforms with varying physical characteristics.
