LeRobot Augmented Dataset

This dataset is an augmented version of the original LeRobot dataset. The augmentation expands the dataset by creating 4 versions of each original episode:

  1. Original data - preserved as-is
  2. Horizontally flipped images - original action/state vectors
  3. Shoulder pan negated - original images with shoulder pan values negated in action/state vectors
  4. Both flipped and negated - horizontally flipped images with negated shoulder pan values

Augmentation Process

The augmentation process quadruples the size of the dataset by creating three variants of each original episode:

  • Image flipping: Horizontally flipping camera frames to simulate the robot operating from the opposite side
  • Action negation: Negating shoulder pan values to simulate opposite directional movement
  • Combined augmentation: Both flipping images and negating shoulder pan values

This 4x expansion provides more diverse training data for robotic control tasks, helping models generalize better to different perspectives and movement directions.

Original Task

The dataset contains episodes where a robot is performing the task: "Pick up the black pen and place it in the mug."

Structure

The dataset maintains the same structure as the original:

  • data/: Contains episode data in parquet format (4x the original amount)
  • videos/: Contains video recordings of episodes (4x the original amount)
  • meta/: Contains metadata about the dataset
