| This dataset was created using [LeRobot](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot). |
|
|
| > **IMPORTANT:** Standard LeRobot (huggingface/lerobot) does **not** currently support depth videos or point clouds. To load this dataset, you **must** use the modified codebase: |
| > **[ZibinDong/lerobotdataset3d](https://github.com/ZibinDong/lerobotdataset3d)**, which adds full decoding support for depth videos (H.265/H.264/FFV1) and quantized point clouds. |
|
|
| ## Dataset Description |
|
|
| **droid_3d** is a large-scale robot manipulation dataset collected with the DROID data collection platform. It contains multi-view RGB videos, depth videos, point clouds, robot actions, and natural language task descriptions. The dataset is designed for training vision-language-action models and 3D-aware robot policies. |

| |
| ### Dataset Summary |
| |
| The dataset comprises **58,201 episodes** with a total of **18,083,626 frames**, recorded at **15 FPS** using a multi-camera setup (wrist + 2 external cameras). Each frame captures: |
| |
| - **RGB videos** from 3 camera views (wrist, external_0, external_1) at 224×398 resolution, encoded with AV1. |
| - **Depth videos** from the same 3 views at 224×398 resolution, encoded with H.265 (h265_uint12), with a depth range of 2000 mm. |
| - **Point clouds** (max 2048 points) for each camera, with quantized XYZ coordinates in the ranges: x∈[−1.0, 1.0], y∈[−1.0, 1.0], z∈[0.0, 1.6]. |
| - **8-dimensional action vectors** (float32). |
| - **Up to 3 natural language annotations** per episode describing the task. |
|
|
| The dataset covers **23,858 distinct tasks** and is split into training data only (no evaluation split). Total dataset size is approximately **1.3 TB**. |

| ## Usage |
|
|
| > ⚠️ Because standard LeRobot lacks depth video and point cloud decoding, you must install and use **[lerobotdataset3d](https://github.com/ZibinDong/lerobotdataset3d)** to load this dataset. |
|
|
| ### Install |
|
|
| ```bash |
| pip install git+https://github.com/ZibinDong/lerobotdataset3d.git |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Load the dataset |
|
|
| ```python |
| from lerobotdataset3d import LeRobotDatasetDepthPointcloud |
| |
| dataset = LeRobotDatasetDepthPointcloud( |
| repo_id="ZibinDong/droid_3d", |
| root="/local_path/to/droid_3d", |
| ) |
| |
| item = dataset[0] |
| |
| # RGB video frames: (3, H, W) float32 in [0, 255] |
| item["observation.images.wrist"].shape # torch.Size([3, 224, 398]) |
| item["observation.images.external_0"] |
| |
| # Depth frames: (1, H, W) float32 in meters |
| item["observation.depth.wrist"].shape # torch.Size([1, 224, 398]) |
| item["observation.depth.external_0"] |
| |
| # Point clouds: (max_points, 3) float32 in meters |
| item["observation.pointcloud.wrist"].shape # torch.Size([2048, 3]) |
| item["observation.pointcloud.external_0"] |
| |
| # Actions, language, and metadata |
| item["action"] # torch.Size([8]) |
| item["language_1"] # str |
| item["language_2"] |
| item["language_3"] |
| item["episode_index"] |
| item["frame_index"] |
| item["index"] |
| item["timestamp"] |
| item["task_index"] |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Advanced: temporal window sampling |
|
|
| ```python |
| from lerobotdataset3d import LeRobotDatasetDepthPointcloud |
| |
| dataset = LeRobotDatasetDepthPointcloud( |
| repo_id="ZibinDong/droid_3d", |
| root="/local_path/to/droid_3d", |
| delta_timestamps={ |
| "observation.images.wrist": [-0.1, 0.0, 0.1], |
| "action": [-0.1, 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3], |
| }, |
