tl;dr: We expand 4 real video demonstrations into diverse training data for humanoid loco-manipulation. A video-to-video model turns a recording of a person picking up a box into counterfactual videos of the same interaction with a bin, barrel or ball. We reconstruct these interactions in 3D, retarget them to a Unitree G1, and train in simulation. The resulting policy runs on the real robot from onboard depth only, with joystick steering, and handles diverse real objects without real-world fine-tuning.

One example per category: counterfactual video (left) and reference replay of the student training motion (right)

Left: generated counterfactual video. Right: reference replay of the student training motion, time-aligned. One example per category (box, bin, barrel, ball); clip ids in previews/preview_clips.txt.

Pipeline

Generated counterfactual video → 3D reconstruction → retargeted motion → learn in simulation → transfer to the real world.

Prompt template used for generation: <VIDEO> In a real-world continuous footage. Preserve the reference video's original background, lighting and camera viewpoint. Replace the box with <CLS>, pick it up and carry with two hands. with <CLS> ∈ {box, bin, barrel, ball}.

Download

The repository contains ~7,900 small files, so a per-file download hits the Hub's API rate limit. Download the single archive instead (495 MB, sha256 b030baccb16beb633a647366f1c1a06ae4a8b106923fa7d50d4123b68b1e6a52):

hf download Amazon-FAR/far-prism-data far-prism-data.tar.gz --repo-type dataset --local-dir .
tar -xzf far-prism-data.tar.gz
cd far-prism-data && sha256sum --check SHA256SUMS --quiet && echo OK

The extracted directory has exactly the layout below. The individual files are kept in the repository for browsing.

The visual meshes inside the repository are decimated to 50k faces (bounding boxes change by < 1 mm, vertex colors kept) so that the object URDFs load everywhere without a 10 GB download. The original full-resolution reconstructions (129 meshes, ~0.5–1.2 M faces each) are in recon-hoi-visual-meshes-original.tar.gz (2.39 GB, sha256 5b624d6a36786747de33c21f959b77db3c5283c6b5decb2d1271e1fb6cccefb7); extract it over data/recon-hoi/ to replace the decimated files.

What is included

129 clips (box 35, bin 32, barrel 34, ball 28) from the 137 generated clips, keeping the ones whose teacher rollout succeeded. Per-clip index: clips.csv.

Usage

root = "far-prism-data"  # extracted archive, or snapshot_download("Amazon-FAR/far-prism-data", repo_type="dataset")

import csv, numpy as np
clips = list(csv.DictReader(open(f"{root}/clips.csv")))
d = np.load(f"{root}/{clips[0]['student_motion']}")
print(d["joint_pos"].shape, d["object_pos_w"].shape, d["policy_command_xy_yaw"].shape)
