DuoBench Modify

duobench_modify is an unofficial derivative of RobotControlStack/duobench. It combines the 11 DuoBench simulation subsets into one LeRobot v3 dataset, preserves the original joint-space fields, and adds 20-dimensional end-effector (EEF) state and action fields for TwinVLA-style training.

Scope: this repository contains simulation data only. The four upstream real-robot subsets are not included.

Camera streams:

  • observation.images.head
  • observation.images.left_wrist
  • observation.images.right_wrist

Included simulation task groups:

  • ball_maze
  • bin_sort
  • block_balance

The 11 physical task groups contain 13 distinct language instructions: carry_pot has two instructions and pour_marbles now has two direction-specific instructions.

Instruction update: DuoBench v0.1.2 compatibility

This release updates the existing derivative at revision 85373e80a74f66d28f4554d420204c82a8dc0466. It contains the same 550 demonstrations and 285,988 frames, with 11 physical tasks and 13 instruction entries. It is the instruction-compatible dataset used for the 2026-10-12 DuoBench EEF baseline training.

The changes are limited to language labels, their task indices, and corresponding metadata/statistics:

  • ball_maze: correct roles to rolls in the official instruction.
  • pour_marbles: replace the ambiguous one-cup-to-the-other instruction with the official episode-specific direction. Of its 50 episodes, 24 pour right to left (task index 7) and 26 pour left to right (new task index 12). Merged episode indices remain 300–349.
  • Preserve every other task index. Update the per-frame task_index, the episode instruction strings and task-index statistics, the instruction table, and info.json accordingly.

The pour labels were recovered from RobotControlStack/duobench revision 630c725ada5c1f14c936b6917a6d98bd1eeb6a42. Before applying them, the preparation script checked episode alignment, non-label numeric columns, and original video hashes against that fixed source. The spelling correction matches DuoBench code revision 29e09f916d68539d454c93266c195d2abb8a8253 (v0.1.2).

All action/state arrays, including the EEF fields, and all 33 videos are unchanged from the preceding derivative. The EEF labels were not recomputed for this update. They retain the original RCS 0.7.2 FK derivation described below. Separately, compatibility of the transform convention with the RCS 0.7.3 runtime was checked; this does not mean the dataset was regenerated with RCS 0.7.3.

meta/v012_instruction_provenance.json records the exact 50-episode direction mapping, fixed upstream revision, source file SHA-256 hashes, and the preparation script SHA-256 9c19518cde26d8819fb318f4eae98d654b32290e10b407f11067a87c6a98c56f (scripts/prepare_duobench_v012.py in the TwinVLA training code). The previous derivative remains available at its immutable revision above.

Features

Feature Type Description
observation.state float32[16] Original dual-arm joint-space observation
action float32[16] Original dual-arm joint-space action
observation.state_eef float32[20] EEF representation derived from observation.state
action_eef float32[20] EEF representation derived from action

The EEF layout is left arm followed by right arm. Each arm uses:

[x, y, z, R[:, 0], R[:, 1], gripper]

The complete 20-dimensional order is:

left_xyz(3), left_rotation_6d(6), left_gripper(1),
right_xyz(3), right_rotation_6d(6), right_gripper(1)

R[:, 0] and R[:, 1] are the first two columns of the EEF rotation matrix. Positions and orientations are expressed in the shared DuoMount base frame.

EEF reconstruction

The added EEF labels were reconstructed from the original 16-dimensional joint vectors with forward kinematics using:

  • the FR3 kinematic model from RCS 0.7.2;
  • the inverse Robotiq 2F-85 TCP offset;
  • FR3_DUOMOUNT_LEFT_ROBOT and FR3_DUOMOUNT_RIGHT_ROBOT base transforms.

For both state and action, the seven joints of each arm are passed through forward kinematics, transformed into the shared DuoMount frame, converted to position plus 6D rotation, and concatenated with the original gripper value. The EEF fields are therefore derived labels rather than independently measured poses.

Video preservation

The 33 source MP4 files were copied one-to-one during aggregation. They were not decoded, concatenated, or re-encoded. Every destination MP4 was verified to be byte-identical to its corresponding source file.

Loading with LeRobot

from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset

dataset = LeRobotDataset("kisarakira/duobench_modify")

print(len(dataset))                  # 285988
print(dataset.meta.total_episodes)  # 550

sample = dataset[0]
print(sample["observation.state"].shape)      # (16,)
print(sample["action"].shape)                 # (16,)
print(sample["observation.state_eef"].shape)  # (20,)
print(sample["action_eef"].shape)             # (20,)
print(sample["observation.images.head"].shape)  # (3, 224, 224)

Validation

The generated dataset was reloaded through LeRobotDataset and checked for:

  • 550 episodes, 285,988 frames, and 13 language instructions;
  • contiguous global frame and episode indices;
  • exact preservation of every original joint-state and joint-action row;
  • exact agreement of every EEF row with the precomputed FK output;
  • correct task-string remapping;
  • valid global and per-episode statistics, including EEF quantiles;
  • correct source-to-target video mapping at every task boundary;
  • byte-for-byte equality of all 33 source and destination MP4 files.

Limitations

  • Only the 11 simulation subsets are included. This is not the complete DuoBench release and contains no real-robot episodes.
  • The dataset inherits the filtering, 30 FPS timing, binary gripper labels, and other preprocessing choices of the upstream LeRobot release.
  • EEF values depend on the selected FR3 model, TCP offset, DuoMount transforms, and coordinate conventions.
  • action_eef is the FK projection of the upstream joint action, not a separately measured future EEF pose.
  • This repository is not an official release by the DuoBench authors and does not introduce benchmark results or policy-performance claims.
