## 📦 Dataset Description
A collection of human demonstrations in multiple manipulation tasks, using 4 manipulators. This dataset also contains the model checkpoint and normalization for the RL environment:
<ul>
<li>Model checkpoint for the CVAE</li>
<li>Collected teleoperated demonstrations</li>
<li>Baked demonstrations for RL training</li>
<li>Normalization stat for RL training</li>
</ul>
For details usage, see <a href="https://github.com/hsp-iit/PCHands">source code</a>.
This dataset is publicly released with the referenced Humanoids 2025 publication.
Please cite the publication if you find this dataset useful.
## Folder Structure
This dataset contains:
- **adf**: Model checkpoint for the Conditional Variational Auto-Encoder (CVAE)
- **rl_scripts/teleop_collection**: Collected raw teleoperated demonstration episodes
- **rl_scripts/demo**: Packed and processed demonstrations
- **rl_sim/env/norm**: Normalization statistic for RL training
## File Naming
