# NIAT10 — A Tabletop Manipulation Dataset Collection
|
| 119 |
+
|
| 120 |
+
24 teleoperated robot manipulation datasets recorded at NIAT, consolidated
|
| 121 |
+
into a single repository for imitation-learning and vision-language-action research.
|
| 122 |
+
|
| 123 |
+
<!-- TODO: banner image URL -->
|
| 124 |
+
|
| 125 |
+
## Overview
|
| 126 |
+
|
| 127 |
+
NIAT10 gathers every manipulation dataset recorded by the NIAT Physical AI group into
|
| 128 |
+
one place, each one preserved in its original [LeRobot](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot)
|
| 129 |
+
layout inside its own top-level folder. Rather than a single merged dataset, it is a
|
| 130 |
+
**curated collection** — you can train on one folder, a task family, or all of them.
|
| 131 |
+
|
| 132 |
+
The collection covers five task families on a shared tabletop setup: pick and place,
|
| 133 |
+
sorting, stacking, object reorientation, and non-prehensile pushing. Every episode was
|
| 134 |
+
teleoperated on an **SO-101 (leader–follower pair)** through a leader arm and recorded from an
|
| 135 |
+
overhead and a wrist camera at 640 × 480 / 30 fps.
|
| 136 |
+
|
| 137 |
+
<!-- TODO: 2-3 sentences on why this collection exists — the research question,
|
| 138 |
+
the course/lab it came out of, what you intend to train on it. -->
|
| 139 |
+
|
| 140 |
+
## Dataset Statistics
|
| 141 |
+
|
| 142 |
+
| Metric | Value |
|
| 143 |
+
|---|---|
|
| 144 |
+
| **Total datasets** | 24 |
|
| 145 |
+
| **Total episodes** | 2,038 |
|
| 146 |
+
| **Total frames** | 975,654 |
|
| 147 |
+
| **Total duration** | 09:02:02 (9.03 hours) |
|
| 148 |
+
| **Unique recorded duration** | 08:10:46 (8.18 hours) |
|
| 149 |
+
| **Unique episodes** | 1,738 |
|
| 150 |
+
| **Task families** | 5 |
|
| 151 |
+
| **Robot embodiments** | 1 |
|
| 152 |
+
| **Average duration/dataset** | 0.38 hours |
|
| 153 |
+
| **Approved datasets** | 19 of 24 |
|
| 154 |
+
|
| 155 |
+
Durations are computed as `total_frames / fps` from each dataset's `meta/info.json`,
|
| 156 |
+
so they reflect the current contents of each repo after episode pruning.
|
| 157 |
+
|
| 158 |
+
**Unique vs total.** 1 dataset(s) re-annotate episodes that already appear
|
| 159 |
+
elsewhere in the collection rather than adding new recordings — see
|
| 160 |
+
[Language variants](#language-variants). The unique figures exclude them, and are the
|
| 161 |
+
honest number to quote for how much robot time this collection represents.

## Usage
|
| 245 |
+
|
| 246 |
+
### Authenticate
|
| 247 |
+
|
| 248 |
+
```bash
|
| 249 |
+
hf auth login
|
| 250 |
+
# or: export HF_TOKEN=your_token_here
|
| 251 |
+
```
|
| 252 |
+
|
| 253 |
+
### Download a single dataset
|
| 254 |
+
|
| 255 |
+
Each folder is self-contained, so pull only what you need:
|
| 256 |
+
|
| 257 |
+
```bash
|
| 258 |
+
hf download NIATphysicalAI/NIAT10 \
|
| 259 |
+
--repo-type=dataset \
|
| 260 |
+
--include "Battery_sort/*" \
|
| 261 |
+
--local-dir ./NIAT10
|
| 262 |
+
```
|
| 263 |
+
|
| 264 |
+
### Download everything
|
| 265 |
|
| 266 |
+
```bash
|
| 267 |
+
hf download NIATphysicalAI/NIAT10 --repo-type=dataset --local-dir ./NIAT10
|
| 268 |
+
```
|
| 269 |
+
|
| 270 |
+
### Load with LeRobot
|
| 271 |
|
| 272 |
```python
|
| 273 |
+
from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
|
| 274 |
+
|
| 275 |
+
ds = LeRobotDataset(repo_id="NIATphysicalAI/NIAT10", root="./NIAT10/Battery_sort")
|
| 276 |
+
|
| 277 |
+
print(f"Episodes: {ds.num_episodes}")
|
| 278 |
+
print(f"Frames: {ds.num_frames}")
|
| 279 |
+
print(f"Task: {ds.meta.tasks}")
|
| 280 |
+
|
| 281 |
+
sample = ds[0]
|
| 282 |
+
print(sample.keys())
|
| 283 |
+
```
|
| 284 |
+
|
| 285 |
+
### Browse the collection
|
| 286 |
|
| 287 |
+
```python
|
| 288 |
+
from pathlib import Path
|
| 289 |
+
import json
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 290 |
|
| 291 |
+
for folder in sorted(Path("./NIAT10").iterdir()):
|
| 292 |
+
info_path = folder / "meta" / "info.json"
|
| 293 |
+
if info_path.exists():
|
| 294 |
+
info = json.loads(info_path.read_text())
|
| 295 |
+
hours = info["total_frames"] / info["fps"] / 3600
|
| 296 |
+
print(f"{folder.name:<26} {info['total_episodes']:>4} episodes {hours:.2f} h")
|
| 297 |
```
|
| 298 |
|
| 299 |
+
### Load the tabular data without video
|
| 300 |
+
|
| 301 |
+
Each folder is registered as a named config, so the state/action streams can be read
|
| 302 |
+
directly with `datasets`:
|
| 303 |
|
| 304 |
```python
|
| 305 |
from datasets import load_dataset
|
|
|
|
| 307 |
ds = load_dataset("NIATphysicalAI/NIAT10", "Battery_sort", split="train")
|
| 308 |
```
|
| 309 |
|
| 310 |
+
## Training
|
| 311 |
+
|
| 312 |
+
<!-- TODO: replace with the exact command you actually ran, once you have one. -->
|
| 313 |
+
|
| 314 |
+
```bash
|
| 315 |
+
lerobot-train \
|
| 316 |
+
--policy.type=act \
|
| 317 |
+
--dataset.repo_id=NIATphysicalAI/NIAT10 \
|
| 318 |
+
--dataset.root=./NIAT10/Battery_sort \
|
| 319 |
+
--output_dir=./outputs/act_battery_sort \
|
| 320 |
+
--batch_size=8 \
|
| 321 |
+
--steps=100000
|
| 322 |
+
```
|
| 323 |
+
|
| 324 |
+
To train across several folders, pass a comma-separated list of roots or build a
|
| 325 |
+
`MultiLeRobotDataset` over the folders you want.
|
| 326 |
+
|
| 327 |
+
## Known Issues and Caveats
|
| 328 |
+
|
| 329 |
+
Community-recorded teleoperation data is never uniform. Things to check before training:
|
| 330 |
+
|
| 331 |
+
- **Review status.** 5 of 24 datasets are flagged below. They are
|
| 332 |
+
included for completeness; prefer the approved subset for headline results.
|
| 333 |
+
- **Varying episode counts.** Some datasets are short (a few minutes) and will be
|
| 334 |
+
heavily under-represented in a naive concatenation. Consider weighted sampling.
|
| 335 |
+
- **Camera configurations differ** between datasets. Check
|
| 336 |
+
`observation.images.*` in each `meta/info.json` before batching across folders.
|
| 337 |
+
- **Frame rates.** 30 fps (24) — resample or filter if your policy assumes a fixed rate.
|
| 338 |
+
- **Episode indices are per-folder.** They are not globally unique across the collection.
|
| 339 |
+
- **Not a single merged dataset.** Loading NIAT10 as one `LeRobotDataset` will not work;
|
| 340 |
+
point `root` at an individual folder.
|
| 341 |
+
|
| 342 |
+

## Data Collection
|
| 361 |
+
|
| 362 |
+
All episodes were collected by **human teleoperation** on an **SO-101 (leader–follower pair)**
|
| 363 |
+
setup. An operator moved the leader arm by hand while the follower arm mirrored the
|
| 364 |
+
motion, and joint states, actions and synchronised video were recorded through LeRobot.
|
| 365 |
+
No scripted or autonomous policies were used, so every trajectory reflects human
|
| 366 |
+
timing, hesitation and correction.
|
| 367 |
+
|
| 368 |
+
### Robot
|
| 369 |
+
|
| 370 |
+
| Property | Value |
|
| 371 |
+
|---|---|
|
| 372 |
+
| Arm | SO-101 (leader–follower pair) |
|
| 373 |
+
| Control | Leader arm (leader–follower joint mirroring) |
|
| 374 |
+
| Recording framework | LeRobot |
|
| 375 |
+
|
| 376 |
+
### Cameras
|
| 377 |
+
|
| 378 |
+
Two cameras per episode, both the same sensor:
|
| 379 |
+
|
| 380 |
+
| View | Sensor |
|
| 381 |
+
|---|---|
|
| 382 |
+
| Overhead | IMX335 5MP USB Camera (B), 5V USB 2.0, 175° wide angle |
|
| 383 |
+
| Wrist | IMX335 5MP USB Camera (B), 5V USB 2.0, 175° wide angle |
|
| 384 |
+
|
| 385 |
+
The **overhead** camera gives a fixed third-person view of the whole workspace; the
|
| 386 |
+
**wrist** camera is mounted on the follower arm and moves with the end effector,
|
| 387 |
+
providing close-range detail during grasps and contact. The 175° field of view keeps
|
| 388 |
+
the full table in frame from a short mounting distance, at the cost of noticeable
|
| 389 |
+
barrel distortion near the edges — the recordings are **not undistorted**, so
|
| 390 |
+
calibrate or rectify yourself if your method assumes a pinhole model.
|
| 391 |
+
|
| 392 |
+
Both streams were captured through LeRobot's OpenCV backend:
|
| 393 |
+
|
| 394 |
+
```json
|
| 395 |
+
{
|
| 396 |
+
"type": "opencv",
|
| 397 |
+
"index_or_path": "/dev/video2",
|
| 398 |
+
"width": 640,
|
| 399 |
+
"height": 480,
|
| 400 |
+
"fps": 30
|
| 401 |
+
}
|
| 402 |
+
```
|
| 403 |
+
|
| 404 |
+
Recorded at **640 × 480 @ 30 fps** — well below the
|
| 405 |
+
sensor's 5MP capability, chosen to keep two USB streams stable and file sizes
|
| 406 |
+
manageable. Device indices vary between recording sessions; check
|
| 407 |
+
`observation.images.*` in each folder's `meta/info.json` for the exact keys and shapes
|
| 408 |
+
a given dataset uses.
|
| 409 |
+
|
| 410 |
+
### Environment and randomisation
|
| 411 |
+
|
| 412 |
+
In most datasets object positions were **randomised between runs**, so the policy
|
| 413 |
+
cannot succeed by memorising a fixed layout. Randomisation was manual rather than
|
| 414 |
+
programmatic, so coverage is uneven — some datasets vary position more aggressively
|
| 415 |
+
than others.
|
| 416 |
+
|
| 417 |
+
<!-- TODO: fill in the remaining environment details:
|
| 418 |
+
- Table surface and background
|
| 419 |
+
- Lighting conditions (fixed room lighting? natural light?)
|
| 420 |
+
- Object sets used per task family
|
| 421 |
+
- Recording period (dates) and number of operators
|
| 422 |
+
- Whether failed episodes were discarded or kept
|
| 423 |
+
-->
|
| 424 |
+
|
| 425 |
+
## Language Variants
|
| 426 |
+
|
| 427 |
+
Not every folder is an independent recording. One dataset re-annotates episodes that
|
| 428 |
+
already exist elsewhere in the collection:
|
| 429 |
+
|
| 430 |
+
| Variant | Source episodes | Paraphrases | Difference |
|
| 431 |
+
|---|---|---|---|
|
| 432 |
+
| `pick_place_cubes_para` | `pick_place_cubes` | 8 | Same episodes, task string expressed 8 different ways |
|
| 433 |
+
|
| 434 |
+
`pick_place_cubes_para` contains the **same trajectories** as `pick_place_cubes`, with
|
| 435 |
+
the natural-language task description rewritten in 8 different phrasings. It exists to
|
| 436 |
+
test whether a language-conditioned policy generalises across instruction wording
|
| 437 |
+
rather than latching onto one exact string.
|
| 438 |
+
|
| 439 |
+
Two consequences worth knowing:
|
| 440 |
+
|
| 441 |
+
- **Do not count both toward dataset size.** Together they represent one set of
|
| 442 |
+
recordings, not two. The unique figures in the statistics table already exclude the
|
| 443 |
+
variant.
|
| 444 |
+
- **Do not put both in the same training mix without thinking.** Naively concatenating
|
| 445 |
+
them duplicates every episode, doubling that task's weight. Either train on the
|
| 446 |
+
paraphrased version alone, or sample the pair as one dataset.
|
| 447 |
+
|
| 448 |
+
## Limitations
|
| 449 |
+
|
| 450 |
+
- **Single environment.** All recordings share one lab, one table and one lighting
|
| 451 |
+
setup. Background and surface diversity is effectively zero, so expect a large
|
| 452 |
+
sim-to-real-style gap when deploying elsewhere.
|
| 453 |
+
- **Single embodiment.** Everything is SO-101. Cross-embodiment transfer is untested.
|
| 454 |
+
- **Fixed camera geometry** at 640 × 480, with uncorrected wide-angle
|
| 455 |
+
distortion.
|
| 456 |
+
- **Uneven dataset sizes.** Durations range from a few minutes to nearly an hour, so
|
| 457 |
+
naive concatenation heavily over-weights the longer datasets.
|
| 458 |
+
- **Manual randomisation** means object-position coverage is not uniform or measured.
|
| 459 |
+
- **Human demonstrations only** — no failure cases, recovery behaviours or
|
| 460 |
+
counterexamples, which limits use for methods that need negative data.
|
| 461 |
+
|
| 462 |
+
<!-- TODO: add anything else you know to be true — e.g. whether any task
|
| 463 |
+
descriptions are inconsistent, or whether some datasets share episodes. -->
