Vitalis Vosylius

I am a PhD student at Imperial College London, supervised by Edward Johns at The Robot Learning Lab. My research interests include robot manipulation and the broader field of robot learning.

Before joining Imperial for my MSc in AI and subsequently my PhD, I studied Applied Physics and worked on advancing laser beam engineering techniques at the Center for Physical Sciences and Technology. Recently, I also spent time as a research intern at the Dyson Robot Learning Lab, led by Stephen James.

Research

My research interests lie in the areas of robot learning and manipulation. Specifically, I focus on algorithmically improving sample efficiency and generalisation capabilities of imitation learning frameworks. This allows robots to acquire useful manipulation skills more effectively from limited data and adapt to new tasks and settings quickly.

Below are some of my projects that illustrate my efforts in this area.

Selected Publications

Render and Diffuse: Aligning Image and Action Spaces for Diffusion-based Behaviour Cloning
Vitalis Vosylius, Younggyo Seo, Jafar Uruç, Stephen James,
RSS, 2024
project page

We introduce R&D, a method that integrates RGB observations with low-level actions through 3D renders of the robot and iteratively updates them using a learnt denoising process, significantly improving learning efficiency and spatial generalisation.

Few-Shot In-Context Imitation Learning via Implicit Graph Alignment
Vitalis Vosylius, Edward Johns,
CoRL, 2023
project page

We learn how to align graph representations of objects and use it as a foundation of a few-shot in-context imitation learning framework.

DALL-E-Bot: Introducing Web-Scale Diffusion Models to Robotics
Vitalis Vosylius, Ivan Kapelyukh, Edward Johns,
RA-Letters, 2023
project page

We use Web-Scale Image Diffusion Models to generate goal images for object rearrangement tasks.

Where To Start? Transferring Simple Skills to Complex Environments
Vitalis Vosylius, Edward Johns,
CoRL, 2022
project page

We use graph-based affordance model to find suitable starting configurations for executing different tasks in complex environments.
