# UnoBench

**UnoBench** is a benchmark for target-centric obstruction reasoning in robotic grasping under cluttered scenes. Given a target object, a method must identify the objects that block or constrain access to that target before grasping.

UnoBench is built upon [MetaGraspNetV2](https://github.com/maximiliangilles/MetaGraspNet) and extends the initial idea of [FreeGraspData](https://huggingface.co/datasets/FBK-TeV/FreeGraspData).

## Dataset Overview

<img src="benchmark.jpg" alt="UnoBench teaser" width="1500">

UnoBench provides synthetic cluttered-scene data with RGB images, Set-of-Mark images, instance annotations, natural-language object descriptions, and obstruction metadata.

The benchmark supports two settings:

| Setting | Target input | Expected output | Main use case |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| NLP | Natural-language target description and RGB image | Obstructing objects, represented by points or grounded object IDs | Vision-language and language-conditioned methods. |
| SoM | Set-of-Mark image and target object ID | Obstructing object IDs | Object-centric, graph-based, or modular robotic reasoning methods. |

  --repo-type dataset \
  --local-dir ./UnoBench/UnoBenchSyn

hf download FBK-TeV/UnoBench images_som.zip \
  --repo-type dataset \
  --local-dir ./UnoBench/UnoBenchSyn

hf download FBK-TeV/UnoBench annotations.zip \
  --repo-type dataset \
  --local-dir ./UnoBench/UnoBenchSyn
```

## Extraction

After downloading, unzip the main archives:

```bash
cd UnoBench/UnoBenchSyn
unzip images.zip
unzip images_som.zip
unzip annotations.zip
```

## Evaluation Splits

| Split / file | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `test_som_small.jsonl` | SoM reproduction with the released UnoGrasp small checkpoint. |
| `test_nlp_small.jsonl` | NLP reproduction with the released UnoGrasp small checkpoint. |
| `test_GT_small.json` | Ground truth for local reproduction evaluation. |
| `challenge_only/test_som.jsonl` | Official challenge queries for the SoM track. |
| `challenge_only/test_nlp.jsonl` | Official challenge queries for the NLP track. |

The challenge test ground truth is reserved for official leaderboard evaluation.

## Metadata Format

Metadata files provide scene-level and object-level information, including:

```text
image_id
scene_id
view_id
query_object
target_object
occlusion_paths
difficulty
num_paths
k_min
som_only
```

The obstruction information is target-centric: for each target object, UnoBench describes the objects that obstruct it and the corresponding obstruction paths.

## Notes

UnoBench focuses on high-level obstruction reasoning before grasping, rather than low-level grasp pose execution or robot control. In this release, obstruction is operationalized mainly through occlusion relationships in cluttered scenes.
