# Eden — example assets

Sample data that [Eden](https://github.com/Kashu7100/Eden)'s registered tasks resolve **by
default**, so a task is runnable with no arguments on a pip-installed Eden and not only in a
source checkout ([Eden#998](https://github.com/Kashu7100/Eden/issues/998)).

**Layout convention:** one directory per Eden task, named for the registered task name that
reads it (`eden list`). A dataset class claims its directory with `DatasetBase._hf_subdir`, and
sees only that directory — both the download and the file glob are restricted to it — so this
repo can grow without changing what any existing task trains on.
`tests/test_shared_dataset_repo.py` pins the convention: a claimed directory must be a
registered task name, and no two dataset classes may claim the same one.

| Directory | Read by | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| `beyondmimic/` | `eden.tasks.beyondmimic.dataset.BvhCsvG1Dataset` | one BVH clip retargeted to the Unitree G1 (29 DOF), 60 Hz |
| `contrack/` | `eden.tasks.contrack.dataset.DexterHandDataset` | four xArm7 + XHand1 hand-object reference clips |

```python
from eden.tasks import TASK_REGISTRY

TASK_REGISTRY.build("beyondmimic")   # fetches beyondmimic/ on first use
TASK_REGISTRY.build("contrack")      # fetches its default clip from contrack/
```

## `beyondmimic/`

`G1_gangnam_style_V01_bvh_60hz.csv` — 1942 rows, 36 columns per row: `base_pos` (3) ·
`base_quat_xyzw` (4) · `dofs_pos` (29), in the DOF order of
`eden.options.robots.unitree_g1.G1Dofs29`.

Row 1 is a retargeting artifact — the root jumps 11.6 cm between rows 1 and 2, which is a
5.8 m/s root velocity at frame 0, the largest in the whole 32 s clip. Reference-state
initialization resets the robot onto that frame *including its velocity*, so trackers launch
and fall with no error raised. Use `frame_range=(1, 1942)` (or `--frame-range 2 1942` for the
example's `csv_to_npz.py`, whose ranges are 1-indexed and inclusive) when the first frame
matters.

## `contrack/`

Four clips of an xArm7 + XHand1 rig manipulating a tracked object. The default clip for
`TASK_REGISTRY.build("contrack")` is `dexterhand-Cylinder_00-fps_20-xarm7_xhand-3600_3700.h5`.

| File | Object |
|---|---|
| `dexterhand-Cylinder_00-fps_20-xarm7_xhand-3600_3700.h5` | cylinder |
| `dexterhand-Cuboid_00-fps_20-xarm7_xhand-5880_5940.h5` | cuboid |
| `dexterhand-Cuboid_01-fps_20-xarm7_xhand-7824_7864.h5` | cuboid |
| `dexterhand-Ring_00-fps_20-xarm7_xhand-10240_10340.h5` | ring |

Each `.h5` carries `qpos` (`(frames, 1, 19)`: 7 arm DOFs + 12 hand DOFs), `is_rhand`,
`base_translation`, `fps`, a `contacts/0` group (`is_contact` / `points` over the 15
`contacts/segment_names` hand segments), and an `object_tracks/0` group with the object's mesh
(`vertices`, `faces`) and its per-frame `translations` / `orientations_xyzw`. The task exports
the object mesh from the clip and sizes the episode from its frame count.
