This codebase is build off open-source codebase robocasa and robomimic.

Installation

1. Install robocasa

Install robocasa with the following procedures. Refer to robocasa github and documentation for more details.

# create conda env
conda create -c conda-forge -n robocasa python=3.10
conda activate robocasa

# install robosuite dependency (use the master branch)
git clone https://github.com/huihanl/robosuite-sirius-fleet.git
cd robosuite-sirius-fleet
pip install -e .

# install robocasa
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/robocasa/robocasa
cd robocasa
pip install -e .
pip install pre-commit; pre-commit install           # Optional: set up code formatter.

# (optional: if running into issues with numba/numpy, run: conda install -c numba numba=0.56.4 -y)

# download assets
python robocasa/scripts/download_kitchen_assets.py   # Caution: Assets to be downloaded are around 5GB.
python robocasa/scripts/setup_macros.py              # Set up system variables.

3. Install Sirius Fleet

git clone https://github.com/UT-Austin-RPL/sirius-fleet
cd sirius-fleet
pip install -e .
pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Install diffusers

git clone [email protected]:huggingface/diffusers.git
pip install -e diffusers 

"""
(Optional) You might need to remove importing cached_download in src/diffusers/utils/dynamic_modules_utils.py:
 -from huggingface_hub import cached_download, hf_hub_download, model_info
 +from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download, model_info
"""

Usage

Downloading data

Downloading original data

robocasa (simulation): Follow robocasa's documentation to download the data. Note that the world model training is using the mimicgen dataset.

mutex (real robot): Download mutex dataset here.

Create symlinks for the data such that robocasa dataset is at ~/robocasa, and mutex is at ~/mutex:

ln -s $ROBOCASA_DATASET_PATH ~/robocasa
ln -s $MUTEX_DATASET_PATH ~/mutex

Downloading human-in-the-loop data

robocasa (simulation): download dataset here

mutex (real robot): download dataset here

Create symlinks for the data so that the human-in-the-loop data will be saved at ~/robocasa-hitl and ~/mutex-hitl:

ln -s $HITL_ROBOCASA_DATASET_PATH ~/robocasa-hitl
ln -s $HITL_MUTEX_DATASET_PATH ~/mutex-hitl

Training Sirius-Fleet

World Model

We suggest that you use the config generation script to generate a json file that is customized to the environments and corresponding datasets. It also allows you to specify different hyperparameters using the flags, and also sweep different hyperparameter options. See gen_config_world_model.py and ../helper.py for details.

Robocasa:

python robomimic/scripts/config_gen/world_model.py --env robocasa --name world_model --batch_size 8

Mutex:

python robomimic/scripts/config_gen/world_model.py --env mutex --name world_model --batch_size 8

This training generates a checkpoint, which we refer to here as world_model.pth. It will be used to train the failure classifier below.

Failure Classifier

We train the failure classifier based on the world model checkpoint world_model.pth from the previous timestep.

Change your task's data path ($DATASET_PATH). Note that this dataset is assumed to contain the attribute intv_labels as classifier labels.

python robomimic/scripts/train.py --config robomimic/exps/templates/failure_classifier.json --dataset $DATASET_PATH --pretrained_world_model world_model.pth 

To finetune failure classifier on a previous failure classifier checkpoint:

python robomimic/scripts/train.py --config robomimic/exps/templates/failure_classifier.json --dataset $DATASET_PATH --pretrained_world_model world_model.pth --classifier_ckpt classifier.pth

Policy

We use BC-Transformer policy architecture.

Robocasa:

python robomimic/scripts/config_gen/bc.py --env robocasa --name bc --n_seeds 3

Mutex:

python robomimic/scripts/config_gen/bc.py --env mutex --name bc --n_seeds 3

To finetune the policy on a previous policy checkpoint:

python robomimic/scripts/config_gen/bc.py --env $ENV --name bc --n_seeds 3 --ckpt_path $POLICY_CKPT

Acknowledgements

This codebase is largely built off robocasa, robomimic and robosuite.

For real-robot experiments, we used Deoxys, a controller library for Franka Emika Panda developed by Yifeng Zhu.
