This dataset was created using [LeRobot](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot).

## Dataset Description

This dataset provides the robotic trajectories and observations used in the paper [VITA: Vision-to-Action Flow Matching Policy](https://huggingface.co/papers/2507.13231). VITA introduces a noise-free and conditioning-free policy learning framework that directly maps visual representations to latent actions using flow matching, enabling faster inference for robotic manipulation tasks. The datasets are built on [LeRobot](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot) Hugging Face formats and optimized into offline `zarr` for faster training.

## Sample Usage

This dataset is designed to be used with the VITA codebase, which extends [LeRobot](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot). Below are examples for converting datasets to an optimized `zarr` format and training a VITA policy.

First, ensure the VITA repository is cloned and setup, and the `FLARE_DATASETS_DIR` environment variable is set as described in the [VITA GitHub repository](https://github.com/ucd-dare/VITA#%EF%B8%8F-setup).

### Dataset Preprocessing

To list available datasets:
```bash
cd gym-av-aloha/scripts
python convert.py --ls
```

To convert a HuggingFace dataset to an offline `zarr` format (e.g., `av_aloha_sim_hook_package`):
```bash
python convert.py -r iantc104/av_aloha_sim_hook_package
```

### Training a VITA Policy

Once the dataset is converted, you can train a VITA policy using the `flare` module from the VITA codebase:
```bash
python flare/train.py policy=vita task=hook_package session=test
```
You can override default configurations as needed:
```bash
# Example: Use a specific GPU
python flare/train.py policy=vita task=hook_package session=test device=cuda:2

# Example: Change online validation frequency and episodes
python flare/train.py policy=vita task=hook_package session=test \
  val.val_online_freq=2000 val.eval_n_episodes=10

# Example: Run an ablation
python flare/train.py policy=vita task=hook_package session=ablate \
  policy.vita.decode_flow_latents=False wandb.notes=ablation
```
