Recent work has shown promising results for learning end-to-end robot policies using imitation learning. In this work we address the question of how far can we push imitation learning for challenging dexterous manipulation tasks. We show that a simple recipe of large scale data collection on the ALOHA 2 platform, combined with expressive models such as Diffusion Policies, can be effective in learning challenging bimanual manipulation tasks involving deformable objects and complex contact rich dynamics. We demonstrate our recipe on 5 challenging real-world and 3 simulated tasks and demonstrate improved performance over state-of-the-art baselines. The project website and videos can be found at aloha-unleashed.github.io.

Why Does Action Chunking Improve Behavioral Cloning Performance in Robotic Control?
Action chunking in robotic behavioral cloning works mainly because it acts as a delayed-prediction policy and an implicit ensemble, not because of temporal consistency or horizon reduction.
