Given Dlabeled, we +prompt pgen with both the visual context I1 +t ,...,In +t and the +skill labelˆ +ℓt (e.g., pick up the lettuce). pgen then imag- +ines an appropriate interaction that might have led toˆ +ℓt in a +real user interaction: it generates possible user prompts ℓt +(e.g., “Can you add some lettuce for me?”) along with the +robot’s verbal responses and clarifications ut. We detail the +A. Synthetic Data Generation +A.1. Scenario and Response Categorization +To ensure the quality and diversity of the synthetic data, +we incorporate structured scenario classification and re- +sponse categorization into the prompt design for pgen, fol- +lowing (Stephan et al., 2024). Specifically, we classify +interactions into different scenario types, such as nega- +tive task (where the user instructs the robot what not to +do), situated correction (where the user adjusts an earlier +command based on the evolving task state), and specific +constraint (where the user specifies particular constraints, +such as dietary preferences). In addition, we categorize +the robot’s responses into types such as simple confirma- +tions, clarifications, and error handling. These classifica- +tions guide the generation process to ensure a broad range +of user-robot interactions. +A.2. Prompt Construction for Contextual Grounding +In prompt P, we include a detailed description of the task +(e.g., bussing a table, making a sandwich, grocery shop- +ping) and instruct the model to ground responses in visual +observations and prior context. A key advantage of lever- +aging large pretrained VLMs is their ability to incorporate +world knowledge when generating interactions. For in- +stance, the model can infer dietary constraints when gener- +ating prompts for sandwich-making, producing user com- +mands such as “Can you make a sandwich for me? I’m +lactose intolerant” and an appropriate robot response like +“Sure, I won’t put cheese on it.” Similarly, it can reason +over ambiguous or implicit requests, such as inferring that +“I want something sweet” in a grocery shopping scenario +should lead to suggestions like chocolate or candy. +To maintain consistency in multi-step tasks, we condition +pgen on prior skill labels within an episodeˆ +ˆ +ℓ0,..., +ℓt−1, +allowing it to generate coherent user commands that +account for past actions. For instance, if the robot +has already placed lettuce and tomato on a sandwich, +the generated user prompt might request additional in- +gredients that logically follow. This ensures that the +synthetic interactions reflect realistic task progression +rather than isolated commands. As such, we leverage +ˆ +ˆ +ˆ +pgen(ℓt,ut|I1 +t ,...,In +t , +ℓ0,..., +ℓt−1, +ℓt,P) to produce a richer, +more diverse synthetic dataset Dsyn that provides mean- +ingful supervision for training our high-level policy. +While in this work we generate a separate Dsyn and train +a separate high-level policy for each task (e.g., sandwich +making vs. table cleaning) for clarity and ease of bench- +marking, the architecture is readily amenable to a unified +multi-task formulation. In principle, the same hierarchical +approach could be used to train a single high-level policy +across a multitude of tasks, facilitating knowledge transfer + + +The result should be a new LeRobotDataset with a new feature called task_index_high_level inside each dataset parquet diff --git a/examples/dataset/run_pgen.sh b/examples/dataset/run_pgen.sh new file mode 100755 index 000000000..e64f03205 --- /dev/null +++ b/examples/dataset/run_pgen.sh @@ -0,0 +1,31 @@ +#!/bin/bash + +# Example script to run synthetic data generation with Qwen VLM +# This generates user prompts and robot utterances for hierarchical policy training + +# Configuration +REPO_ID="lerobot/svla_so101_pickplace" +MODEL="Qwen/Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Instruct" +# Alternative: MODEL="Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct" + + +OUTPUT_DIR="/fsx/jade_choghari/outputs/pgen_annotations" +BATCH_SIZE=1 +TEMPERATURE=0.7 +SAMPLE_INTERVAL=1.0 # Generate dialogue every 1 second (all episodes processed) + +# Run synthetic data generation (processes ALL episodes) +python examples/dataset/annotate_pgen.py \ + --repo-id "$REPO_ID" \ + --model "$MODEL" \ + --output-dir "$OUTPUT_DIR" \ + --temperature "$TEMPERATURE" \ + --sample-interval "$SAMPLE_INTERVAL" \ + --num-image-views-per-sample 1 + +# For faster testing, increase sample interval: +# --sample-interval 5.0 # Samples every 5 seconds (much faster) + +# To push to hub after generation: +# Add --push-to-hub flag + diff --git a/examples/dataset/test_pgen_quick.sh b/examples/dataset/test_pgen_quick.sh new file mode 100755 index 000000000..e9d9cf039 --- /dev/null +++ b/examples/dataset/test_pgen_quick.sh @@ -0,0 +1,44 @@ +#!/bin/bash + +# Quick test to verify the fix for task_indices length mismatch +# This should now work correctly even with --num-samples < full dataset length + +echo "Testing annotate_pgen.py with --num-samples=100 on full dataset..." + +python examples/dataset/annotate_pgen.py \ + --data-dir /fsx/jade_choghari/.cache/huggingface/lerobot/lerobot/svla_so101_pickplace \ + --model Qwen/Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Instruct \ + --num-samples 100 \ + --sample-interval 1.0 \ + --output-dir /fsx/jade_choghari/outputs/pgen_test_fixed + +if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then + echo "✓ SUCCESS: Script completed without errors!" + echo "" + echo "Verifying output..." + + # Check that all frames have task_index_high_level + python -c " +from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset +import numpy as np + +ds = LeRobotDataset(repo_id='local_test', root='/fsx/jade_choghari/outputs/pgen_test_fixed') +print(f'Dataset has {len(ds)} frames') +print(f'Features: {list(ds.features.keys())}') + +# Check that task_index_high_level exists +assert 'task_index_high_level' in ds.features, 'task_index_high_level not in features!' + +# Sample some frames +for idx in [0, 50, 99, 100, 500, 1000, 11938]: + if idx < len(ds): + frame = ds[idx] + task_idx = frame['task_index_high_level'].item() + print(f'Frame {idx}: task_index_high_level = {task_idx}') + +print('✓ All checks passed!') +" +else + echo "✗ FAILED: Script exited with error code $?" +fi +
