| # Haptic-ACT: datasets and models |
|
|
| Datasets and trained models of [Haptic-ACT](https://github.com/KelinLi-ReCAST/Haptic-ACT): the MuJoCo experiments and real-robot rollouts of the paper, and the version with wrist force/torque in ManiSkill. |
|
|
| ## `haptic_act/`, `act_baseline/`: Haptic-ACT and ACT in MuJoCo |
|
|
| The data and models of the simulation experiments of the paper (sections 1-7 of the GitHub README): an xArm7 with the Inspire hand picks up an object and places it in a basket. The paths match the GitHub repository, so the download can go straight into a clone. |
|
|
| | Path | Content | |
| |---|---| |
| | `haptic_act/data/pick_and_place/raw_data/episode_<i>.hdf5` | 50 demonstrations, 400 steps each: `observations/qpos`, `observations/qvel`, `action` (400 x 13: 7 arm and 6 hand joints), `observations/contact_force` (400 x 5 fingertip forces, N), `observations/images/frontview` (400 x 480 x 640 x 3) | |
| | `haptic_act/ckpt/` | Haptic-ACT: `policy_best.ckpt`, `dataset_stats.pkl`, `result_policy_best.txt` and the training curves | |
| | `act_baseline/ckpt/` | ACT, trained on the same demonstrations: the same files | |
|
|
| ```bash |
| git clone https://github.com/KelinLi-ReCAST/Haptic-ACT.git && cd Haptic-ACT |
| hf download KelinLiIC/Haptic-ACT --repo-type dataset --local-dir . --include "haptic_act/*" --include "act_baseline/*" |
| ``` |
|
|
| ACT reads the demonstrations from `haptic_act/data/`: set `DATA_DIR` in `act_baseline/constants.py` to that folder (section 4 of the GitHub README). |
|
|
| ## `ft_maniskill/`: Haptic-ACT with wrist force/torque in ManiSkill |
| |
| Demonstrations of five tasks with a Franka Panda with wrist camera in ManiSkill (section 8 of the GitHub README), recorded in the environments of the `haptic-act` branch of [KelinLi-ReCAST/ManiSkill](https://github.com/KelinLi-ReCAST/ManiSkill/tree/haptic-act). Each `ft_maniskill/<task>/lerobot_ft/` is a LeRobot dataset (format v3.0, 20 fps), and `ft_maniskill/<task>/models/` holds the models trained on it. |
|
|
| | Task | Folder | ManiSkill environment | Demonstrations | Episodes | Frames | |
| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |
| | PegInsertionSide | `peg` | `PegInsertionSideFT-v1` | jam and recovery | 1000 | 196,523 | |
| | PickCube | `pickcube` | `PickCubeVisGoal-v1` | motion planner | 1000 | 78,246 | |
| | StackCube | `stackcube` | `StackCube-v1` | ManiSkill's demonstrations, replayed | 1000 | 107,420 | |
| | PushCube | `pushcube` | `PushCube-v1` | ManiSkill's demonstrations, replayed | 990 | 68,287 | |
| | PlugChargerTopDown | `plug_topdown` | `PlugChargerTopDown-v1` | jam and recovery | 1000 | 173,314 | |
|
|
| | Column | Shape | Content | |
| |---|---|---| |
| | `observation.images.base_camera`, `observation.images.wrist_camera` | 480 x 480 x 3 | RGB video | |
| | `observation.state`, `observation.qvel` | 9 | joint positions / velocities (7 arm joints, 2 fingers) | |
| | `action` | 8 | absolute targets of the 7 arm joints and the gripper (`pd_joint_pos`) | |
| | `observation.torque` | 7 | arm-joint torques (N m) | |
| | `observation.wrench` | 6 | TCP wrench [fx fy fz tx ty tz] (N, N m, TCP frame), least squares of tau = J^T F | |
| | `observation.environment_state` | 30 | the last 5 wrenches, oldest first: the F/T input of Haptic-ACT | |
| | `observation.torque_hist` | 35 | the last 5 joint-torque readings | |
| | `observation.torque_do` | 7 | joint torques with 30 % of the frames zeroed | |
| | `observation.peg_box_force` (peg) / `observation.contact_force` | 1 | contact force between the object and the box / goal (N), privileged, not a policy input | |
| | `phase` | 1 | demonstration phase (peg: reach, grasp, align, jam, backoff, realign, insert) | |
| | `replan` | 1 | 1 during the deliberate jam of the peg demonstrations (contact force > 2 N), else 0 | |
| | `next.success` | 1 | task success after the frame's action | |
|
|
| The baselines (ACT, Diffusion Policy, BC) train on a copy without the force columns, made by `ft_maniskill/dataset_processing/make_baseline_dataset.py` of the GitHub repository. |
|
|
| ### Models |
|
|
|
|
| Each `ft_maniskill/<task>/models/<method>/` is a LeRobot 0.6.1 `pretrained_model` directory (config, weights, pre/post-processors, training config). |
|
|
| | Method | Folder | Policy type | |
| |---|---|---| |
| | Haptic-ACT (F/T) | `haptic-act` | `acthaptic` ([plugin](https://github.com/KelinLi-ReCAST/Haptic-ACT/tree/main/ft_maniskill/policy/lerobot_policy_acthaptic)) | |
| | ACT | `act` | `act` | |
| | Diffusion Policy | `dp` | `diffusion` | |
| | BC (ACT without chunking or CVAE) | `bc` | `act` | |
|
|
| ### Download and evaluation |
|
|
| ```bash |
| hf download KelinLiIC/Haptic-ACT --repo-type dataset --local-dir data_ft --include "ft_maniskill/*" |
| # only the datasets: --include "ft_maniskill/*/lerobot_ft/*"; only the models: --include "ft_maniskill/*/models/*" |
| python ft_maniskill/eval/eval_ft.py --task peg --policy-path data_ft/ft_maniskill/peg/models/haptic-act \ |
| --n-action-steps 50 --learned-trigger 0.5 --out outputs/eval/peg/haptic-act |
| ``` |
|
|
| Installation, training and evaluation of every method: section 8 of the GitHub README. |
|
|
| ## `real_robot/`: real-robot rollouts of Haptic-ACT and ACT |
| |
| Rollouts of the trained policies on the real robot (section 6 of the GitHub README): Haptic-ACT in `real_robot/real_hact/` and ACT in `real_robot/real_act/`, 50 episodes each. Each `episode_<i>_compressed.hdf5` has 400 steps: |
| |
| | Key | Content | |
| |---|---| |
| | `observations/qpos`, `observations/qvel`, `observations/effort` | 400 x 13: 7 arm joints and 6 hand joints | |
| | `action` | 400 x 13 joint targets | |
| | `observations/images/end_effector`, `observations/images/frontview` | JPEG-encoded 480 x 640 frames, one per step, zero-padded to a fixed length | |
| | `compress_len` | 2 x 400 encoded lengths; row 0 is `end_effector`, row 1 is `frontview` | |
|
|
| `real_robot/data_extract.py` of the GitHub repository reads these files (`load_hdf5`). |
|
|
| ```bash |
| hf download KelinLiIC/Haptic-ACT --repo-type dataset --local-dir . --include "real_robot/*" |
| ``` |
|
|
