"""How fast does an ACT chunk move, as a function of the index inside the chunk? The policy predicts a chunk for demonstration frames of the approach phase. For every chunk index i we measure the right-arm step size ||a[i+1] - a[i]|| (joint targets, radians per control step) and average it over frames. For comparison we also measure the demonstrator's own step size at the same frames. This tests the replan-10 hypothesis: if the first actions of each chunk are slow, a policy that only ever executes indices 0-9 moves slowly. Under latency d the executed slice starts at index d, which would explain why latency helps replan 10. Usage (small; no simulator): python scripts/chunk_profile.py --checkpoint PATH --label NAME --out results/analysis/profile_NAME.json """ import argparse import glob import json from pathlib import Path import numpy as np import pandas as pd import torch RIGHT_ARM = slice(7, 13) # ALOHA action/state layout: left arm 0-5, left gripper 6, right arm 7-12, right gripper 13 DATASET = "lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human" def main() -> None: parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description=__doc__, formatter_class=argparse.RawDescriptionHelpFormatter) parser.add_argument("--checkpoint", required=True) parser.add_argument("--label", required=True) parser.add_argument("--device", default="mps" if torch.backends.mps.is_available() else "cuda") parser.add_argument("--frames-per-episode", type=int, default=6, help="frames sampled from steps 0-150 of each episode") parser.add_argument("--out", type=Path, required=True) args = parser.parse_args() from lerobot.configs.policies import PreTrainedConfig from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset from lerobot.envs.configs import AlohaEnv from lerobot.policies import make_policy, make_pre_post_processors policy_cfg = PreTrainedConfig.from_pretrained(args.checkpoint) policy_cfg.pretrained_path = Path(args.checkpoint) policy_cfg.device = args.device policy = make_policy(cfg=policy_cfg, env_cfg=AlohaEnv(task="AlohaTransferCube-v0"), rename_map={}) policy.eval() pre, post = make_pre_post_processors(policy_cfg=policy_cfg, pretrained_path=args.checkpoint, preprocessor_overrides={"device_processor": {"device": args.device}, "rename_observations_processor": {"rename_map": {}}}) ds = LeRobotDataset(DATASET, video_backend="pyav") # Demonstration actions per episode, straight from the parquet files. root = Path(ds.root) actions = pd.concat(pd.read_parquet(f) for f in sorted(glob.glob(str(root / "data" / "**" / "*.parquet"), recursive=True))) demo = {ep: np.stack(g.sort_values("frame_index")["action"].to_numpy()) for ep, g in actions.groupby("episode_index")} starts = {ep: int(g["index"].min()) for ep, g in actions.groupby("episode_index")} rng = np.random.default_rng(0) chunk_steps, demo_steps, first_offsets = [], [], [] for ep in sorted(demo): for t in sorted(rng.choice(np.arange(0, 150), size=args.frames_per_episode, replace=False)): item = ds[starts[ep] + int(t)] batch = {"observation.images.top": item["observation.images.top"].unsqueeze(0), "observation.state": item["observation.state"].unsqueeze(0), "task": [""]} with torch.no_grad(): chunk = policy.predict_action_chunk(pre(batch)) # (1, H, 14), normalized chunk = post(chunk).cpu().numpy()[0] # joint targets arm = chunk[:, RIGHT_ARM] chunk_steps.append(np.linalg.norm(np.diff(arm, axis=0), axis=1)) # (H-1,) first_offsets.append(float(np.linalg.norm(arm[0] - item["observation.state"].numpy()[RIGHT_ARM]))) demo_arm = demo[ep][int(t):int(t) + 12, RIGHT_ARM] demo_steps.append(float(np.linalg.norm(np.diff(demo_arm, axis=0), axis=1).mean())) profile = np.mean(chunk_steps, axis=0) result = { "label": args.label, "n_frames": len(chunk_steps), "step_size_by_index": profile.round(6).tolist(), "mean_step_first_10": float(profile[:10].mean()), "mean_step_10_to_40": float(profile[10:40].mean()), "demo_mean_step_next_10": float(np.mean(demo_steps)), "mean_offset_first_action_to_state": float(np.mean(first_offsets)), } args.out.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True) args.out.write_text(json.dumps(result, indent=1)) print({k: v for k, v in result.items() if k != "step_size_by_index"}) print("step size at indices 0, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80:", [round(float(profile[i]), 4) for i in (0, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80)]) if __name__ == "__main__": main()
