Real-World Impact: Robotics Policy Learning
Problem: Traditional robot policy training in real-world is slow, costly, and risky. Standard image augmentation lacks semantic understanding for diverse scenarios.
Solution: Cosmos-Transfer2.5 generates diverse, realistic visually augmented videos for robot policy training. It enables systematic simulation of challenging out-of-domain scenarios (e.g., changing object colors, lighting, backgrounds, adding distractors) via text prompts and control inputs.
Results:
- Achieves 24/30 successes on novel test-time object and environment changes, significantly outperforming base (1/30) and baseline (5/30) policies.
- Demonstrates markedly higher robustness and generalization to novel test-time object and environment changes.
- Provides a promising, lightweight, and effective pipeline for synthetic data generation in robotics, reducing real-world experimentation costs and time-to-deployment.
ROI: Accelerates robot learning cycles and improves policy robustness to unseen scenarios by providing safe, high-fidelity synthetic data, leading to faster, safer deployment of Physical AI agents.
