| # TOWER-Assets |
|
|
| Versioned simulation assets for the [TOWER Benchmark](https://github.com/tower-benchmark/TOWER). |
| Immutable Hugging Face tags identify releases; artifact paths remain stable. |
|
|
| ## Modular layout |
|
|
| ```text |
| manifest.json aggregate download index |
| releases/<version>.json exact module set for one release |
| modules/stations/*.json shared station modules |
| modules/tasks/*.json independently versioned task families |
| station/* shared USD/USDZ station payloads |
| tasks/* task scenes, initial states, and thin USDA layers |
| metadata/task-catalog.json discoverable task-family index |
| ``` |
|
|
| Each `tower-asset-module-v1` document owns its dependencies, artifacts, |
| checksums, variants, and task metric protocol. A new task family adds one module |
| document and its payloads; release tooling discovers it through a |
| `tower-asset-release-v1` descriptor without a code registry change. |
|
|
| Task USDA files compose the shared station and add only task-specific prims or |
| overrides. Checkpoint-bound scene JSON uses portable `asset://` and |
| `generator://` references. Dataset provenance uses non-executable `dataset://` |
| identifiers. Machine-local paths and local validation reports are not release |
| artifacts. |
|
|
| The older `tower_transfer`, `cross_tower_transfer`, and `aligned_stack` USDA |
| files remain staging descriptors. Release `0.0.3` adds complete composed layout |
| layers and checkpoint-bound scenes for selected Task 2, 4, 5, and 6 variants; |
| the module descriptor is authoritative for each variant's contents. |
|
|
| ## Licensing |
|
|
| TOWER-authored task and block data is licensed under CC BY 4.0. Composite |
| station assets also contain an AgileX arm model licensed under MIT; see |
| [`THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md`](THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md). Per-file license and SHA-256 |
| metadata in [`manifest.json`](manifest.json) is authoritative. |
