Pick and Place Cube

One of the six evaluation tasks in DexTacWAM. 100 episodes, 26,904 frames at 30 fps, on a Dexmate torso with a Sharpa Wave dexterous hand (right only).

Pick up the cube from the right side of the table with the right hand and place it in the middle.

Format

LeRobot v2.1. Parquet under data/chunk-000/, metadata under meta/. 13 GB.

episode_provenance.json records, per output episode, which raw episode and frame range it came from and why it was split there.

Intended use

Stage 2 (world model) and stage 3 (action expert) training. The configs live under configs/cube_place/ in the code repository, and the normalization statistics committed there are computed against exactly this data. Statistics from a different conversion will de-normalize actions incorrectly without raising an error.

The configs address this corpus by directory name, so unpack it as data/datasets_lerobot/20260809_pick_place_cube/ and keep the published episode ordering; the validation split is selected by episode index.

The released tactile encoder was trained on the separate 488 diverse episodes corpus, not on this data.

We do not release a trained action expert for this dataset. In our experiments, the stage 3 action expert is randomly initialized and trained from scratch using this data.
