PackingBench Assets

Simulation assets for the PackingBench robot-manipulation benchmark (Cybernetic Labs). All scene files are OpenUSD, Z-up, meters.

Structure

backgrounds/
  packing_area_simple/        Self-contained warehouse packing-area scene in
    scene.usd                 NVIDIA Isaac Sim's Simple_Warehouse shell
                              (~24x39 m hall). Flattened stage: warehouse
                              shell, packing bench, dressing props (loaded box
                              rack, box piles, pallet truck, cartons), tuned
                              lighting. Static colliders only. FRAME CONTRACT
                              -- reference at identity; the scene is the
                              anchor and everything else is placed in its
                              coordinates: origin at the table surface center,
                              x = table long axis (surface x -1.24..1.24,
                              y -0.38..0.38), y = away from the robot, floor
                              z=0, work surface z=0.994. Depth order along -y:
                              table, robot spot (~y=-0.5, kept clear), box
                              rack behind the robot, warehouse wall ~11.6 m
                              behind that; open warehouse beyond the table
                              (+y).
    resource/                 All referenced textures/materials

  LICENSE                     Apache-2.0 (applies to objects/, from ArtVIP)
scripts/                      Generator scripts that rebuild the background
                              deterministically from the source datasets

Each object folder is self-contained (main USD + resource/); copy the whole folder, reference the main USD.

Usage

Reference backgrounds/packing_area_simple/scene.usd under an Xform in an Isaac Sim / OpenUSD stage. The scene is fully self-contained — asset paths resolve relative to scene.usd, so keep the folder together. The area in front of the packing bench (world -y) is left clear for a robot; the bench's long axis runs along x.
