ABSTRACT

Apparatuses, systems, and techniques are disclosed for controlling a robot to
execute a task. In at least one embodiment, a current image of the robot in an
environment and a text describing the task are obtained. A future image of the
robot in the environment is predicted based on the current image and the text.
Subsequently, one or more actions are predicted based on the current image,
the future image, and the text. The one or more actions can move the robot
from a first state corresponding to the current image to a second state
corresponding to the future image. The robot executes the sequence of actions
to move in the environment.
