Abstract:

We introduce MoNet, a novel functionally modular network for self-supervised and interpretable end-to-end learning. By leveraging its functional modularity with a latent-guided contrastive loss function, MoNet efficiently learns task-specific decision-making processes in latent space without requiring task-level supervision. Moreover, our method incorporates an online, post-hoc explainability approach that enhances the interpretability of end-to-end inferences without compromising sensorimotor control performance. In real-world indoor environments, MoNet demonstrates effective visual autonomous navigation, outperforming baseline models by 7% to 28% in task specificity analysis. We further explore the interpretability of our network through post-hoc analysis of perceptual saliency maps and latent decision vectors. This provides valuable insights into the incorporation of explainable artificial intelligence into robotic learning, encompassing both perceptual and behavioral perspectives.
