# setup_table — pairwise preferences on a Franka Panda
Real-robot trajectories for **"set up the table"** with **human pairwise preference
labels on multiple judgment axes**. Built for reward-model / preference-learning
research: every label is a comparison of two trajectories on one named axis, not a
scalar score.
The trajectory data is a standard [LeRobot](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot)
v2.1 dataset, so it also loads directly as an imitation-learning dataset.
## Contents
| | |
|---|---|
| Episodes | **467** |
| Frames | **197,896** (~3.7 h at 15 fps) |
| Preference pairs | **1648** |
| Preference labels (pair x axis) | **4432** |
| Judgment axes | **9** |
| Distinct instructions | **1** |
| Cameras | `agent_view` (third-person), `wrist` — both 224x224 |
| Robot | Franka Panda, 7-DoF joint control + gripper |
### Episodes by kind
| kind | episodes | frames |
|---|---|---|
| rollout | 316 | 133031 |
| demo | 151 | 64865 |
`demo` episodes are human teleoperated demonstrations. `rollout` episodes are policy
rollouts recorded in preference-collection sessions; those are the ones that vary in
quality, which is what makes the comparisons informative.
## Preference labels
`preferences/pairs.parquet` — one row per (pair, axis):
| column | meaning |
|---|---|
| `pair_id` | unique id of the comparison |
| `episode_index_a`, `episode_index_b` | index into this LeRobot dataset |
| `episode_id_a`, `episode_id_b` | original source trajectory id |
| `axis` | the judgment axis being compared |
| `winner` | `A`, `B`, or `Equal` |
| `source` | `in_session` (the two rollouts of one session) or `cross` (arbitrary pair) |
| `source_dir`, `source_file` | provenance of the annotation |
| `annotator` | which annotator's label set this row comes from |
| `axis_set` | `fixed` (curated rubric reused across sessions) or `freeform` (annotator-invented axis names) |
| `overall_score_a/b` | 1–4 Likert quality rating, where the annotator gave one (else null) |
| `succeeded_a/b` | task-success flag recorded at collection time, where available (else null) |
| `instruction` | instruction string logged with the comparison |
`preferences/pairs.jsonl` is the same data with the axes nested per pair.
`preferences/episodes.parquet` maps `episode_index` to the source trajectory.
Winner distribution: **B** 1894, **A** 1790, **Equal** 748.
### Axes
| axis | labels |
|---|---|
| `Overall quality` | 1648 |
| `Quality of placement of big plate` | 348 |
| `Quality of placement of small plate` | 348 |
| `Quality of placement of cup` | 348 |
| `Quality of placement of cutlery` | 348 |
| `Smoothness / carefulness` | 348 |
| `Speed` | 348 |
| `Formality of setup` | 348 |
| `Damage to environment` | 348 |
### Pairs by source
| source | directory | axis set | pairs |
|---|---|---|---|
| cross | `abhijnya/cross_preferences_setup` | fixed | 800 |
| cross | `am208/cross_preferences_setup` | fixed | 690 |
| in_session | `am208/preferences_setup` | fixed | 158 |
## Usage
```python
from lerobot.common.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
ds = LeRobotDataset("MarcelTorne/setup_table_preferences")
print(ds[0].keys())
```
```python
# train a reward model on the pairwise labels
import pandas as pd
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
prefs = pd.read_parquet(hf_hub_download("MarcelTorne/setup_table_preferences", "preferences/pairs.parquet",
repo_type="dataset"))
decisive = prefs[prefs.winner != "Equal"] # drop ties
overall = decisive[decisive.axis.str.lower().str.contains("overall")]
```
Both cameras are `dtype: video`. `observation.state` is
`[joint_0..joint_6, gripper]`, `observation.ee` is `[x, y, z, roll, pitch, yaw]`,
and `action` is the commanded `[joint_position(7), gripper_position(1)]`.
## Caveats
- **Frames are h264 (crf 16), not bit-exact.** The source HDF5 held raw uint8
frames; re-encoding at the same 224x224 resolution shrinks the release ~100x at
41.8 dB PSNR (mean absolute error 1.1/255, 99th pct 7/255), measured on
fold_pants cloth texture. Do not expect byte-level reproduction of the originals.
- **`Equal` is common on some axes.** Annotators used it freely; filter deliberately.
- **`freeform` axis names are not a closed vocabulary.** They were invented per
session, so the same idea appears under several names (`fast` / `speed`,
`smooth` / `smoothness`). Normalise before aggregating across sessions.
- **A pair can be labelled by more than one annotator.** The two annotators' cross-pair
sets are near-disjoint, but not perfectly; group by `pair_id` if you need unique pairs.
- **Instructions on `rollout` episodes sometimes carry reward conditioning** (e.g.
`"set up the table, fast: 1.0, ..."`) because the policy that produced them was
reward-conditioned. The LeRobot task string is the plain instruction; the logged
string is kept in `preferences/episodes.parquet`.
- **No success labels on `demo` episodes** — they are demonstrations, assumed good.
