EXOKERN publishes datasets, pretrained policies, and evaluation tooling for assembly-style tasks where contact dynamics matter. The current public catalog focuses on peg insertion as a reproducible baseline for learning with 6-axis wrench signals, domain randomization, and multi-seed evaluation.

## What Is Validated Today
|
| 30 |
-
|
| 31 |
- On the fixed-condition v0 benchmark, `full_ft` and `no_ft` both reached 100% success across 3 seeds x 100 episodes, while force/torque input reduced average contact force from 5.2 N to 3.2 N.
|
| 32 |
- On the domain-randomized v0.1.1 benchmark, both variants again reached 100% success across 600 total rollouts. In this setup, domain randomization largely closed the force gap, so the force/torque benefit is inconclusive for this specific task and tolerance regime.
|
| 33 |
- The cards state both the positive result and the boundary condition where a force/torque benefit does not appear. That is deliberate.
|
| 34 |
-
|
| 35 |
## What Makes The Catalog Useful
|
| 36 |
-
|
| 37 |
- Every release is paired with an explicit dataset lineage, not a detached checkpoint drop.
|
| 38 |
- Baseline and ablation checkpoints are published together when possible.
|
| 39 |
- Evaluation claims are tied to concrete seeds, episode counts, and repository artifacts.
|
| 40 |
- Cards state simulation-only limitations directly instead of implying production readiness.
|
| 41 |
- The catalog is organized around contact-rich robotics rather than generic manipulation marketing.

- Richer observations, including point clouds combined with wrench signals
