RL4IL Uses RL-Guided Retrieval to Handle Missing Sensor Modalities in Robots
June 12, 2026
RL4IL applies a PPO-trained policy over BFS-based retrieval to select the most relevant expert demonstrations when input modalities like cameras or language instructions are missing at deployment. The approach targets a practical gap in imitation learning where sensor dropout is common but rarely modeled.
