Query: Deep Imitation Learning of Sequential Fabric Smoothing From an
  Algorithmic Supervisor   Sequential pulling policies to flatten and smooth fabrics have applications
from surgery to manufacturing to home tasks such as bed making and folding
clothes. Due to the complexity of fabric states and dynamics, we apply deep
imitation learning to learn policies that, given color (RGB), depth (D), or
combined color-depth (RGBD) images of a rectangular fabric sample, estimate
pick points and pull vectors to spread the fabric to maximize coverage. To
generate data, we develop a fabric simulator and an algorithmic supervisor that
has access to complete state information. We train policies in simulation using
domain randomization and dataset aggregation (DAgger) on three tiers of
difficulty in the initial randomized configuration. We present results
comparing five baseline policies to learned policies and report systematic
comparisons of RGB vs D vs RGBD images as inputs. In simulation, learned
policies achieve comparable or superior performance to analytic baselines. In
180 physical experiments with the da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK) surgical robot,
RGBD policies trained in simulation attain coverage of 83% to 95% depending on
difficulty tier, suggesting that effective fabric smoothing policies can be
learned from an algorithmic supervisor and that depth sensing is a valuable
addition to color alone. Supplementary material is available at
