RoboGate Failure Dictionary

50,000+ Physics-Validated Pick & Place Failure Patterns across 4 Robots (Franka Panda, UR5e, UR3e, UR10e)

A structured database of robot AI failure patterns collected from NVIDIA Isaac Sim physical simulations using Two-Stage Adaptive Sampling. Each experiment records the exact conditions under which a robot succeeded or failed at Pick & Place tasks.

Key Findings

  • friction × mass interaction z = -10.00 — strongest predictor of failure
  • Friction threshold: 0.492 ± 0.031 — below this, failure cascades
  • Mass > 0.93 kg → Both robots fail at < 40% SR (universal danger zone)
  • Boundary equation: μ*(m) = (1.469 + 0.419m) / (3.691 - 1.400m)
  • AUC improved 0.65 → 0.777 (+19.5%) with boundary-focused sampling
  • Failure mode transition: friction↓ → timeout → collision → grasp_miss

Two-Stage Adaptive Sampling

Stage 1 — Uniform Exploration (40,000)

  • Franka Panda 10K + UR5e 10K
  • Latin Hypercube Sampling for uniform parameter space coverage
  • Identified boundary regions and initial risk model (AUC 0.65)

Stage 2 — Boundary-Focused (10,000)

  • Franka Panda only, targeting boundary/transition regions
  • Concentrated sampling near friction threshold 0.492
  • Revealed failure mode transitions invisible to uniform sampling
  • Boosted Risk Model AUC to 0.777 (+19.5%)

Universal Danger Zones (mass > 0.93 kg)

Mass Range Franka SR UR5e SR
0.93 – 1.23 kg 21.4% 30.9%
1.23 – 1.52 kg 14.9% 25.3%
1.52 – 1.82 kg 12.5% 28.9%
1.82 – 2.11 kg 6.6% 28.1%

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("liveplex/robogate-failure-dictionary")
print(ds["train"][0])

# Filter danger zones
danger = ds["train"].filter(lambda x: x["zone"] == "danger")
print(f"Danger zones: {len(danger)}")

VLA Benchmark — 4-Model Leaderboard

Four VLA models evaluated on RoboGate's 68-scenario adversarial suite. All scored 0% SR — including NVIDIA's official GR00T N1.6.

Model Params SR Confidence Failure Pattern
Scripted Controller 100% (68/68) 76/100
GR00T N1.6 (NVIDIA) 3B 0% (0/68) 1/100 grasp_miss + collision
OpenVLA (Stanford + TRI) 7B 0% (0/68) 27/100 grasp_miss dominant, 0 collision
Octo-Base (UC Berkeley) 93M 0% (0/68) 1/100 grasp_miss 79%, collision 21%
Octo-Small (UC Berkeley) 27M 0% (0/68) 1/100 grasp_miss 79.4%, collision 20.6%

Model size is not the bottleneck — even NVIDIA's flagship 3B model cannot bridge the training-deployment distribution gap.
