pretty_name: pi0 (Heisen0928/pi0_robotwin) RoboTwin 5-task eval — VLA vs VLA+MPC
pi0 RoboTwin 5-task eval — Heisen0928/pi0_robotwin, VLA vs VLA+MPC
Success-rate evaluation of the open-source Heisen0928/pi0_robotwin π0
checkpoint on 5 RoboTwin tasks, 50 seeds each (seed 100000–100049), run through
the vla_framework eval pipeline. Two modes: raw policy (passthrough) and with
the reactive MPC corrector.
TL;DR
| task | passthrough | +MPC | Δ |
|---|---|---|---|
| place_container_plate | 29/50 (58%) | 23/50 (46%) | −6 |
| place_empty_cup | 26/50 (52%) | 35/50 (70%) | +9 |
| move_can_pot | 21/50 (42%) | 13/50 (26%) | −8 |
| place_bread_skillet | 11/50 (22%) | 11/50 (22%) | 0 |
| move_pillbottle_pad | 10/50 (20%) | 8/50 (16%) | −2 |
| TOTAL | 97/250 (38.8%) | 90/250 (36.0%) | −7 (−2.8pp) |
The reactive MPC is net-negative here (−2.8pp). Only place_empty_cup
benefits (+9, a "close-but-incomplete" task where correction recovers grasps);
on tasks the raw policy already handles (plate, can_pot) the MPC perturbations
(pos_std=0.015, rot_std=0.03, gripper-flip) disrupt otherwise-successful
trajectories. MPC helps where the policy is marginal, hurts where it is already
competent. The MPC defaults are tuned for SmolVLA-style reactive correction; π0
(continuous gripper, FK→ee path) needs a higher intervention threshold / smaller
perturbation.
Heisen0928/pi0_robotwin is a multi-task π0 (no per-task finetune), hence
the modest 38.8% raw rate; plate/cup strongest (>50%), pillbottle/bread weakest
(~20%).
Setup (reproducible)
- Checkpoint:
Heisen0928/pi0_robotwin(JAX/orbax, step 30000) → converted to PyTorch with openpi'sconvert_jax_model_to_pytorch.py(--config_name pi0_aloha, architecturally identical: action_dim 32, action_horizon 50, gemma_2b + gemma_300m, bf16). norm_stats from30000/assets/robotwin_50_clean/placed atphysical-intelligence/robotwin/norm_stats.json. - Backend: in-process Embodied-AI VLAPredictor (
model_type: pi0,config_name=pi0_robotwin), JOINT(qpos,14D) policy bridged to the ee eval path via RoboTwin FK (fk: joint_to_ee). - Poses:
pose_source: robotwin_gt(GT, no poselib — isolates the policy). - Env: conda
vla_unified;MUJOCO_GL=egl,CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1,EMBODIED_SKIP_TRANSFORMERS_CHECK=1. subprocess-per-episode (SAPIEN leak). - Per-episode:
--num_episodes 1 --max_steps 300.
