VersatIL

Author · Open source

A modular PyTorch framework for imitation learning. VersatIL separates data processing, algorithms, policy architectures, and loss functions so that researchers can compose and compare policies across robots and sensing modalities. It supports standardized training and inference, with testing and continuous integration.
