Generative self-supervised model for robotics data.

Highlights:

- Transformer model for autoregressive prediction of states and actions over time to implicitly encode dynamics and behaviors for a particular robot

- The representation learned can be fine-tuned to distinct tasks (navigation, mapping, localization) with minimal data

- The base transformer model serves as a generative robotics model, similarly to GPT-3, and can be prompted to result in different robot behaviors
