SpatialAct-Bench-Assets (SPAB)
A curated, de-identified 3D object asset library for the SpatialAct-Bench target-centric "acknowledge" benchmark (built for pi0.5 / DROID-style manipulation policies: grasp a target object, then answer questions about its category, subtype, or color).
At a glance
- 701 assets, 66 basic categories, 80 canonical (detailed) classes.
- Every asset ships as one self-contained USD entry point
(
assets/SPAB-OBJ-xxxxxx/asset.usdc+textures/) with no external dependencies. - One representative preview image per asset (
previews/). - Every asset has a physical graspability tier (
low/mid/high, see below) from a unified evaluation. - Single license for the whole package: CC BY-NC 4.0.
Access status
This repository is currently private, shared with a small set of collaborating labs for internal use and feedback. It is planned to later switch to gated public access (same repository, same content — no rebuild) once the accompanying paper is ready. Feedback and bug reports from this private phase will be folded in before that switch.
License
The whole package (asset selection, deduplication, rescaling, USD
conversion, and all authored metadata) is licensed under
CC BY-NC 4.0 — see LICENSE.
The underlying geometry and textures of individual assets originate
from third-party open datasets (RoboCasa, OmniObject3D, Google Scanned
Objects, GraspXL, Objaverse, and the YCB Object and Model Set) and
remain attributed to their original creators under their own licenses.
See provenance/third_party_notices.md
for the complete, per-source breakdown and required attribution
statements. In short: 651 of 701 assets trace to CC BY 4.0 sources, 20
trace to CC BY-NC 4.0 (GraspXL), and 30 trace to an Objaverse-linked
legacy pool whose per-object upstream terms are documented but not all
independently re-verified — see the notices file for exact per-source
figures and caveats.
Grasp quality tiers
Each asset was evaluated with a fixed manipulation policy across 5
independent tabletop layout scenes (one trial per scene, 5 trials per
asset, 3,505 trials total over all 701 assets), and camera-validated
after the run. The grasp field in spab_objects_v1.json is a tier
derived from the count of successful trials out of 5, not a raw
success percentage:
| Successes / 5 | Tier | Assets | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | low |
182 | 26.0% |
| 1–2 | mid |
440 | 62.8% |
| 3–4 | high |
79 | 11.3% |
This is a measurement from one evaluation round with one checkpoint and one fixed scene protocol — it reflects physical graspability under that setup, not an immutable property of the object, and should be treated as a difficulty signal rather than a benchmark ground truth.
Dependency scope: what's self-contained and what isn't
Every asset ships as exactly two things: asset.usdc (one USD crate
file holding mesh, UVs, material bindings, and physics API schemas —
rigid body, mass, collision — all in one layer) and its textures/
folder. This is a deliberate, verified-complete package, not a partial
one: across all 701 assets there are zero external-layer references and
zero absolute paths pointing outside each asset's own directory (every
reference is relative and resolves correctly after moving or
re-downloading the package anywhere).
The one intentional exception: material shaders reference
OmniPBR.mdl (or gltf/pbr.mdl for some sources) by bare name, which
Isaac Sim / NVIDIA Omniverse resolve from their own built-in shader
library at runtime — the same way a PDF viewer supplies a font it
wasn't shipped with. These are not packaged with this dataset. In
Isaac Sim, materials render correctly. In a generic USD viewer without
that shader library, geometry, UVs, and physics schemas will still load
correctly, but the material may fall back to a default/untextured
look.

from pxr import Usd, UsdGeom
stage = Usd.Stage.Open("assets/SPAB-OBJ-000001/asset.usdc")
assert stage.GetDefaultPrim().IsValid()
bbox_cache = UsdGeom.BBoxCache(Usd.TimeCode.Default(), [UsdGeom.Tokens.default_])
print(bbox_cache.ComputeWorldBound(stage.GetPseudoRoot()).ComputeAlignedRange())
Remember to apply geometry.scale from spab_objects_v1.json via an
xformOp:scale at spawn time, before physics initialization — it is
not baked into the USD file (see SCHEMA.md).
Schema
See SCHEMA.md for the complete field reference and an
example record. Two scoring/vocabulary rules apply dataset-wide (see
taxonomy_policy in spab_objects_v1.json): category QA accepts
either the basic category or the detailed canonical_class as
correct, while subtype QA requires an exact subtype match; all color
labels are drawn from a fixed 8-word palette plus multicolor.
Citation
TBD — will be added once the accompanying paper has a citable reference.
