* feat(envs): add RoboTwin 2.0 benchmark integration
- RoboTwinEnvConfig with 4-camera setup (head/front/left_wrist/right_wrist)
- Docker image with SAPIEN, mplib, CuRobo, pytorch3d (Python 3.12)
- CI workflow: 1-episode smoke eval with pepijn223/smolvla_robotwin
- RoboTwinProcessorStep for state float32 casting
- Camera rename_map: head_camera/front_camera/left_wrist -> camera1/2/3
* fix(robotwin): re-enable autograd for CuRobo planner warmup and take_action
lerobot_eval wraps the full rollout in torch.no_grad() (lerobot_eval.py:566),
but RoboTwin's setup_demo → load_robot → CuroboPlanner(...) runs
motion_gen.warmup(), which invokes Newton's-method trajectory optimization.
That optimizer calls cost.backward() internally, which raises
RuntimeError: element 0 of tensors does not require grad and does not have a grad_fn
when autograd is disabled. take_action() hits the same planner path at every
step. Wrap both setup_demo and take_action in torch.enable_grad() so CuRobo's
optimizer can build its computation graph. Policy inference is unaffected —
rollout()'s inner torch.inference_mode() block around select_action() is
untouched, so we still don't allocate grad buffers during policy forward.
* fix(robotwin): read nested get_obs() output and use aloha-agilex camera names
RoboTwin's base_task.get_obs() returns a nested dict:
{"observation": {cam: {"rgb": ..., "intrinsic_matrix": ...}},
"joint_action": {"left_arm": ..., "left_gripper": ...,
"right_arm": ..., "right_gripper": ...,
"vector": np.ndarray},
"endpose": {...}}
Our _get_obs was reading raw["{cam}_rgb"] / raw["{cam}"] and raw["joint_action"]
as if they were flat, so np.asarray(raw["joint_action"], dtype=float64) tripped
on a dict and raised
TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a real number, not 'dict'
Fix:
- Pull images from raw["observation"][cam]["rgb"]
- Pull joint state from raw["joint_action"]["vector"] (the flat array)
- Update the default camera tuple to (head_camera, left_camera, right_camera)
to match RoboTwin's actual wrist-camera names (envs/camera/camera.py:135-151)
* refactor(robotwin): drop defensive dict guards, cache black fallback frame
_get_obs was guarding every dict access with isinstance(..., dict) in case
RoboTwin's get_obs returned something else — but the API contract
(envs/_base_task.py:437) always returns a dict, so the guards were silently
masking real failures behind plausible-looking zero observations. Drop them.
Also:
- Cache a single black fallback frame in __init__ instead of allocating
a fresh np.zeros((H, W, 3), uint8) for every missing camera on every
step — the "camera not exposed" set is static per env.
- Only allocate the zero joint_state on the fallback path (not unconditionally
before the real value overwrites it).
- Replace .flatten() with .ravel() (no copy when already 1-D).
- Fold the nested-dict schema comment and two identical torch.enable_grad()
rationales into a single Autograd section in the class docstring.
- Fix stale `left_wrist` camera name in the observation docstring.
* fix(robotwin): align observation_space dims with D435 camera output
lerobot_eval crashed in gym.vector's SyncVectorEnv.reset with:
ValueError: Output array is the wrong shape
because RoboTwinEnvConfig declared observation_space = (480, 640, 3) but
task_config/demo_clean.yml specifies head_camera_type=D435, which renders
(240, 320, 3). gym.vector.concatenate pre-allocates a buffer from the
declared space, so the first np.stack raises on shape mismatch.
Changes:
- Config defaults now 240×320 (the D435 dims in _camera_config.yml), with
a comment pointing at the source of truth.
- RoboTwinEnv.__init__ accepts observation_height/width as Optional and
falls back to setup_kwargs["head_camera_h/w"] so the env is self-consistent
even if the config is not in sync.
- Config camera_names / features_map use the actual aloha-agilex camera
names (head_camera, left_camera, right_camera). Drops the stale
"front_camera" and "left_wrist"/"right_wrist" entries that never matched
anything RoboTwin exposes.
- CI workflow's rename_map updated to match the new camera names.
* fix(robotwin): expose _max_episode_steps for lerobot_eval.rollout
rollout() does `env.call("_max_episode_steps")` (lerobot_eval.py:157) to
know when to stop stepping. LiberoEnv and MetaworldEnv set this attribute;
RoboTwinEnv was tracking the limit under `episode_length` only, so the call
raised AttributeError once CuRobo finished warming up.
* fix(robotwin): install av-dep so lerobot_eval can write rollout MP4s
write_video (utils/io_utils.py:53) lazily imports PyAV via require_package
and raises silently inside the video-writing thread when the extra is not
installed — so the eval itself succeeds with pc_success=100 but no MP4
ever lands in videos/, and the artifact upload reports "No files were
found". Add av-dep to the install line (same pattern as the RoboMME image).
* feat(robotwin): eval 5 diverse tasks per CI run with NL descriptions
Widen the smoke eval from a single task (beat_block_hammer) to five:
click_bell, handover_block, open_laptop, stack_blocks_two on top of the
original. Each gets its own rollout video in videos/<task>_0/ so the
dashboard can surface visually distinct behaviours.
extract_task_descriptions.py now has a RoboTwin branch that reads
`description/task_instruction/<task>.json` (already shipped in the clone
at /opt/robotwin) and pulls the `full_description` field. CI cds into
the clone before invoking the script so the relative path resolves.
parse_eval_metrics.py is invoked with the same 5-task list so the
metrics.json embeds one entry per task.
* ci: point benchmark eval checkpoints at the lerobot/ org mirrors
pepijn223/smolvla_* → lerobot/smolvla_* across every benchmark job in
this branch (libero, metaworld, and the per-branch benchmark). The
checkpoints were mirrored into the lerobot/ org and that's the canonical
location going forward.
* refactor(robotwin): rebase docker image on huggingface/lerobot-gpu
Mirror the libero/metaworld/libero_plus/robomme pattern: start from the
nightly GPU image (apt deps, python, uv, venv, lerobot[all] already
there) and layer on only what RoboTwin 2.0 uniquely needs —
cuda-nvcc + cuda-cudart-dev (CuRobo builds from source), Vulkan libs +
NVIDIA ICD (SAPIEN renderer), sapien/mplib/open3d/pytorch3d/curobo
installs, the mplib + sapien upstream patches, and the TianxingChen
asset download.
Drops ~90 lines of duplicated base setup (CUDA FROM, apt python, uv
install, user creation, venv init, base lerobot install). 199 → 110.
Also repoint the docs + env docstring dataset link from
hxma/RoboTwin-LeRobot-v3.0 to the canonical lerobot/robotwin_unified.
* docs(robotwin): add robotwin to _toctree.yml under Benchmarks
doc-builder's TOC integrity check was rejecting the branch because
docs/source/robotwin.mdx existed but wasn't listed in _toctree.yml.
* fix(robotwin): defer YAML lookup and realign tests with current API
__init__ was eagerly calling _load_robotwin_setup_kwargs just to read
head_camera_h/w from the YAML. That import (`from envs import CONFIGS_PATH`)
required a real RoboTwin install, so constructing the env — and thus every
test in tests/envs/test_robotwin.py — blew up with ModuleNotFoundError
on fast-tests where RoboTwin isn't installed.
Replace the eager lookup with DEFAULT_CAMERA_H/W constants (240×320, the
D435 dims baked into task_config/demo_clean.yml). reset() still resolves
the full setup_kwargs lazily — that's fine because reset() is only
called inside the benchmark Docker image where RoboTwin is present.
Also resync the test file with the current env API:
- mock get_obs() as the real nested {"observation": {cam: {"rgb": …}},
"joint_action": {"vector": …}} shape
- patch both _load_robotwin_task and _load_robotwin_setup_kwargs
(_patch_load → _patch_runtime)
- drop `front_camera` / `left_wrist` from assertions — aloha-agilex
exposes head_camera + left_camera + right_camera, not those
- black-frame test now uses left_camera as the missing camera
- setup_demo call check loosened to the caller-provided seed/is_test
bits (full kwargs include the YAML-derived blob)
* fix: integrate PR #3315 review feedback
- ci: add Docker Hub login step, add HF_USER_TOKEN guard on eval step
- docker: tie patches to pinned versions with removal guidance, remove
unnecessary HF_TOKEN for public dataset, fix hadolint warnings
- docs: fix paper link to arxiv, add teaser image, fix camera names
(4→3 cameras), fix observation dims (480x640→240x320)
* fix(docs): correct RoboTwin 2.0 paper arxiv link
* fix(docs): use correct RoboTwin 2.0 teaser image URL
* fix(docs): use plain markdown image to fix MDX build
* ci(robotwin): smoke-eval 10 tasks instead of 5
Broader coverage on the RoboTwin 2.0 benchmark CI job: bump the smoke
eval from 5 tasks to 10 (one episode each). Added tasks are all drawn
from ROBOTWIN_TASKS and mirror the shape/complexity of the existing
set (simple single-object or single-fixture manipulations).
Tasks now run: beat_block_hammer, click_bell, handover_block,
open_laptop, stack_blocks_two, click_alarmclock, close_laptop,
close_microwave, open_microwave, place_block.
`parse_eval_metrics.py` reads `overall` for multi-task runs so no
parser change is needed. Bumped the step name and the metrics label
to reflect the 10-task layout.
* fix(ci): swap 4 broken RoboTwin tasks in smoke eval
The smoke eval hit two upstream issues:
- `open_laptop`: bug in OpenMOSS/RoboTwin main — `check_success()` uses
`self.arm_tag`, but that attribute is only set inside `play_once()`
(the scripted-expert path). During eval `take_action()` calls
`check_success()` directly, hitting `AttributeError: 'open_laptop'
object has no attribute 'arm_tag'`.
- `close_laptop`, `close_microwave`, `place_block`: not present in
upstream RoboTwin `envs/` at all — our ROBOTWIN_TASKS tuple drifted
from upstream and these names leaked into CI.
Replace the four broken tasks with upstream-confirmed equivalents
that exist both in ROBOTWIN_TASKS and in RoboTwin's `envs/`:
`adjust_bottle`, `lift_pot`, `stamp_seal`, `turn_switch`.
New 10-task smoke set: beat_block_hammer, click_bell, handover_block,
stack_blocks_two, click_alarmclock, open_microwave, adjust_bottle,
lift_pot, stamp_seal, turn_switch.
* fix(robotwin): sync ROBOTWIN_TASKS + doc with upstream (50 tasks)
The local ROBOTWIN_TASKS tuple drifted from upstream
RoboTwin-Platform/RoboTwin. Users passing names like `close_laptop`,
`close_microwave`, `dump_bin`, `place_block`, `pour_water`,
`fold_cloth`, etc. got past our validator (the names were in the
tuple) but then crashed inside robosuite with a confusing error,
because those tasks don't exist in upstream `envs/`.
- Replace ROBOTWIN_TASKS with a verbatim mirror of upstream's
`envs/` directory: 50 tasks as of main (was 60 with many
stale entries). Added a `gh api`-based one-liner comment so
future bumps are mechanical.
- Update the `60 tasks` claims in robotwin.mdx and
RoboTwinEnvConfig's docstring to `50`.
- Replace the stale example-task table in robotwin.mdx with ten
upstream-confirmed examples, and flag `open_laptop` as
temporarily broken (its `check_success()` uses `self.arm_tag`
which is only set inside `play_once()`; eval-mode callers hit
AttributeError).
- Rebuild the "Full benchmark" command with the actual 50-task
list, omitting `open_laptop`.
* test(robotwin): lower task-count floor from 60 to 50
ROBOTWIN_TASKS was trimmed to 50 tasks (see comment in
`src/lerobot/envs/robotwin.py:48`), but the assertion still
required ≥60, causing CI failures. Align the test with the
current upstream task count.
* fix(envs): preserve AsyncVectorEnv metadata/unwrapped in lazy eval envs
Port of #3416 onto this branch.
* ci: gate Docker Hub login on secret availability
* fix: integrate PR #3315 review feedback
- envs(robotwin): default `observation_height/width` in
`create_robotwin_envs` to `DEFAULT_CAMERA_H/W` (240/320) so they
match the D435 dims baked into `task_config/demo_clean.yml`.
- envs(robotwin): resolve `task_config/demo_clean.yml` via
`CONFIGS_PATH` instead of a cwd-relative path; works regardless
of where `lerobot-eval` is invoked.
- envs(robotwin): replace `print()` calls in `create_robotwin_envs`
with `logger.info(...)` (module-level `logger = logging.getLogger`).
- envs(robotwin): use `_LazyAsyncVectorEnv` for the async path so
async workers start lazily (matches LIBERO / RoboCasa / VLABench).
- envs(robotwin): cast `agent_pos` space + joint-state output to
float32 end-to-end (was mixed float64/float32).
- envs(configs): use the existing `_make_vec_env_cls(use_async,
n_envs)` helper in `RoboTwinEnvConfig.create_envs`; drop the
`get_env_processors` override so RoboTwin uses the identity
processor inherited from `EnvConfig`.
- processor: delete `RoboTwinProcessorStep` — the float32 cast now
happens in the wrapper itself, so the processor is redundant.
- tests: drop the `TestRoboTwinProcessorStep` suite; update the
mock obs fixture to use float32 `joint_action.vector`.
- ci: hoist `ROBOTWIN_POLICY` and `ROBOTWIN_TASKS` to job-level
env vars so the task list and policy aren't duplicated across
eval / extract / parse steps.
- docker: pin RoboTwin + CuRobo upstream clones to commit SHAs
(`RoboTwin@0aeea2d6`, `curobo@ca941586`) for reproducibility.
Generating the documentation
To generate the documentation, you first have to build it. Several packages are necessary to build the doc, you can install them with the following command, at the root of the code repository:
pip install -e . -r docs-requirements.txt
You will also need nodejs. Please refer to their installation page
NOTE
You only need to generate the documentation to inspect it locally (if you're planning changes and want to
check how they look before committing for instance). You don't have to git commit the built documentation.
Building the documentation
Once you have setup the doc-builder and additional packages, you can generate the documentation by
typing the following command:
doc-builder build lerobot docs/source/ --build_dir ~/tmp/test-build
You can adapt the --build_dir to set any temporary folder that you prefer. This command will create it and generate
the MDX files that will be rendered as the documentation on the main website. You can inspect them in your favorite
Markdown editor.
Previewing the documentation
To preview the docs, first install the watchdog module with:
pip install watchdog
Then run the following command:
doc-builder preview lerobot docs/source/
The docs will be viewable at http://localhost:3000. You can also preview the docs once you have opened a PR. You will see a bot add a comment to a link where the documentation with your changes lives.
NOTE
The preview command only works with existing doc files. When you add a completely new file, you need to update _toctree.yml & restart preview command (ctrl-c to stop it & call doc-builder preview ... again).
Adding a new element to the navigation bar
Accepted files are Markdown (.md).
Create a file with its extension and put it in the source directory. You can then link it to the toc-tree by putting
the filename without the extension in the _toctree.yml file.
Renaming section headers and moving sections
It helps to keep the old links working when renaming the section header and/or moving sections from one document to another. This is because the old links are likely to be used in Issues, Forums, and Social media and it'd make for a much more superior user experience if users reading those months later could still easily navigate to the originally intended information.
Therefore, we simply keep a little map of moved sections at the end of the document where the original section was. The key is to preserve the original anchor.
So if you renamed a section from: "Section A" to "Section B", then you can add at the end of the file:
Sections that were moved:
[ <a href="#section-b">Section A</a><a id="section-a"></a> ]
and of course, if you moved it to another file, then:
Sections that were moved:
[ <a href="../new-file#section-b">Section A</a><a id="section-a"></a> ]
Use the relative style to link to the new file so that the versioned docs continue to work.
For an example of a rich moved sections set please see the very end of the transformers Trainer doc.
Adding a new tutorial
Adding a new tutorial or section is done in two steps:
- Add a new file under
./source. This file can either be ReStructuredText (.rst) or Markdown (.md). - Link that file in
./source/_toctree.ymlon the correct toc-tree.
Make sure to put your new file under the proper section. If you have a doubt, feel free to ask in a Github Issue or PR.
Writing source documentation
Values that should be put in code should either be surrounded by backticks: `like so`. Note that argument names
and objects like True, None or any strings should usually be put in code.
Writing a multi-line code block
Multi-line code blocks can be useful for displaying examples. They are done between two lines of three backticks as usual in Markdown:
```
# first line of code
# second line
# etc
```
Adding an image
Due to the rapidly growing repository, it is important to make sure that no files that would significantly weigh down the repository are added. This includes images, videos, and other non-text files. We prefer to leverage a hf.co hosted dataset like
the ones hosted on hf-internal-testing in which to place these files and reference
them by URL. We recommend putting them in the following dataset: huggingface/documentation-images.
If an external contribution, feel free to add the images to your PR and ask a Hugging Face member to migrate your images
to this dataset.
