SoftVTBench
Visuo-tactile manipulation demonstrations for rigid and soft/deformable LIBERO-style pick-and-place tasks, collected with a tactile-sensing Franka arm in Isaac Lab (Tabero simulation stack).
Mirrored on both hubs:
- Hugging Face —
Arthur12137/SoftVTBench - ModelScope —
Arthur12137/SoftVTBench
Earlier releases (evaluation USD assets and the first partial data drops) were
moved to Arthur12137/SoftVTBench-archive on both hubs.
Contents
Four subsets, each 10 tasks × 100 successful demonstrations = 1000 demos and 4000 videos.
| Subset | Scene / goal | Object | Video res. | Episode len | hdf5 | Videos | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
spatial-rigid |
kitchen table → plate | rigid pastry | 512×512 | 141–181 | 1250 MB | 560 MB | 1.8 GB |
object-rigid |
floor → basket | rigid pastry | 512×512 | 107–130 | 475 MB | 482 MB | 975 MB |
object-soft |
floor → basket | FEM soft body | 1024×1024 | 112–137 | 919 MB | 1074 MB | 2.0 GB |
spatial-soft |
kitchen table → plate | FEM soft body | 1024×1024 | 120–144 | 1390 MB | 1138 MB | 2.5 GB |
Every episode carries success = True; failures were filtered out at assembly
time (the skipped records are kept in failure.jsonl).

obs/ fields, all four subsets:
actions, applied_torque, arm_joint_pos, computed_torque,
eef_axis_angle, eef_pose, fem_bbox_dims, finger_force,
gripper_binary, gripper_close_norm, gripper_marker_motion,
gripper_net_force, gripper_pos, gripper_width
The two soft subsets add four deformation channels:
fem_deformation_max, fem_deformation_rms,
fem_kabsch_max_pct, fem_kabsch_rms_pct.
gripper_marker_motion is the tactile signal: (T, 2, 2, 99, 2) — two GelSight
Mini pads × (reference, current) × 99 markers × (x, y) displacement.
Per-demo attributes include asset_name, demo_id, language, num_samples,
success, soft_task_kind, task_id, task_suite, and a metadata_json
blob with the sampled gripper closure.
Verified integrity
Checked over the full release, not sampled unless noted:
- demo count = manifest lines =
success=Truecount = 1000 per subset - 4 videos per demo, no zero-byte or truncated files
- every path referenced by
manifest.jsonlexists - video frame count equals hdf5 episode length (360 pairs sampled)
- no NaN/Inf in any float field; all
obs/fields aligned withactions - 1000/1000 unique action trajectories and 1000/1000 unique
initial_stateper subset — the per-demo randomisation (object XY, goal XY, robot joints, gripper closing force) is genuinely distinct
Known caveats
- Video resolution differs: rigid subsets are 512×512, soft subsets 1024×1024.
demo_idconventions differ across subsets (9-digit global ids inspatial-rigid/object-rigid, 5–6-digit inobject-soft, 0–350 inspatial-soft). Inspatial-softthe id is only unique within a task. Index by(subset, task_id, demo)when merging subsets.- HDF5 compression is not uniform: the two
object-*subsets were written with gzip, the twospatial-*subsets uncompressed. This is whyobject-rigidis much smaller on disk despite holding the same amount of data. gripper_marker_motionis stored twice, identically, under bothobs/andsoft_extras/; it accounts for ~40% of each file.- Task 6 language is a placeholder (
"golden pastry") inobject-rigidandobject-soft. - Paths inside
manifest.jsonlare relative to the original collection root (outputs/...), not to this repository.
