Dynamic Object Masks as Goal Representations for Visual Goal-Conditioned Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2510. 06277v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Goal-conditioned reinforcement learning (GCRL) offers a unified way to pursue diverse tasks, yet most existing methods rely on state- or position-based goal representations that are unavailable in real-world robotics.
