The Q-Transformer,  developed by a team from Google DeepMind, led by Yevgen Chebotar, Quan Vuong, and others,  is a novel architecture developed for offline reinforcement learning with high-capacity Transformer models, particularly suited for large-scale, multi-task robotic reinforcement learning (RL). It's designed to train multi-task policies from extensive offline datasets, leveraging both human demonstrations and autonomously collected data.  It's a reinforcement learning method for training multi-task policies from large offline datasets, leveraging human demonstrations and autonomously collected data. The implementation uses a Transformer to provide a scalable representation for Q-functions trained via offline temporal difference backups. The Q-Transformer's design allows it to be applied to large and diverse robotic datasets, including real-world data, and it has shown to outperform prior offline RL algorithms and imitation learning techniques on a variety of robotic manipulation tasks​​​​​​.
