Exylos Bimanual Table Spill Cleanup Sample

A human-in-the-loop, multi-view bimanual robot manipulation dataset for tabletop spill cleanup: removing distractor objects and wiping spilled liquid from the surface with a sponge. Delivered in a LeRobot-compatible structure with synchronized video, state/action trajectories, segmentation masks, object pose signals, phase annotations, and success/failure labels.

For the Hugging Face Dataset Viewer, viewer_data/chunk-000/*.parquet provides a schema-compatible preview mirror of the frame-level data, and viewer_videos/train.parquet indexes the RGB video streams. The canonical LeRobot episode parquet files remain in data/chunk-000/*.parquet, with external RGB videos and segmentation masks referenced under videos/. This 50-episode release does not include depth maps; depth is available only in the related rich-modality sample linked below.

Why this dataset is different

Most public manipulation datasets come from one of two sources: real-robot teleoperation farms, which are slow and expensive, or pure simulation, which is cheap but often weak for transfer. This sample comes from a third path:

1. Human-in-the-loop VR capture. A human performs the task in an immersive virtual environment using a standard VR headset. Their motion provides task intent, manipulation timing, bimanual coordination, and correction behavior, while the system retargets the demonstration onto a virtual Franka Panda robot embodiment.
2. Procedurally expanded with added visual domain randomization. Seed demonstrations are expanded into physics-consistent variations with changing object poses, distractors, mild occlusions, lighting conditions, camera configurations, object materials, and environment appearance.
3. Packaged for direct inspection and training. The output is delivered in a LeRobot-compatible structure, with synchronized multi-view video, dual-arm state and action streams, segmentation masks, object pose labels, phase-level annotations, quality scores, and success/failure metadata.

The result is human-seeded, scaled, and labeled robot-manipulation data that is closer to what policy training needs, without requiring every trajectory to be collected on a physical robot.

This public release is intentionally compact. It is meant as an inspection sample: robotics teams can evaluate the format, modalities, visual variation, annotation schema, bimanual trajectory quality, failure semantics, segmentation streams, and object-pose metadata before discussing larger productized skill packs.

Related dataset

For a smaller 5-episode inspection sample with additional per-frame depth maps, see ExylosAi/table_spill_cleanup_bimanual_rgbd_segmentation_poses. This larger 50-episode dataset includes RGB video, segmentation masks, object poses, trajectories, and success/failure labels, but it does not include depth maps.

What's new in this version

This updated sample keeps the same 50 episode IDs but expands the available modalities and refreshes the per-frame metadata:

• Adds a seventh RGB camera stream: observation.images.left_cam_45.
• Adds four per-frame segmentation-mask streams:
  • observation.masks.left_cam_45_seg
  • observation.masks.top_cam_seg
  • observation.masks.wrist_cam_l_seg
  • observation.masks.wrist_cam_r_seg
• Adds observation.object_poses, a per-frame object-state stream with object IDs, 3D positions, quaternion orientations, finite-difference linear velocities, and remaining dirty-fraction values.
• Updates all episode parquet files to include the expanded schema.
• Updates annotations.json and the LeRobot metadata files under meta/.

---

What is included

Each episode bundles synchronized robot, video, mask, pose, and annotation signals:

• Robot state trajectories: the full 18D bimanual robot state stream over time, covering left and right Panda arm joints plus gripper finger joints.
• Action trajectories: the 18D control/action signal at each frame for the same bimanual motor ordering.
• Multi-view RGB video: seven synchronized camera streams: front, left, right, top, left wrist, right wrist, and left 45-degree camera.
• Segmentation masks: per-frame PNG instance-segmentation masks for top, left 45-degree, left wrist, and right wrist views, plus label-map metadata in the parquet rows.
• Object pose stream: per-frame object IDs, position, orientation, linear velocity, and remaining dirty-fraction values for tracked task objects.
• Objective cleanup metric: dirty_fraction for the liquid_spill object, allowing cleanup quality to be audited from the terminal frame.
• Success/failure semantics tied to cleanup quality and execution status: terminal dirty_fraction <= 0.01 means 1% or less of the original spill remains, while recorded success also accounts for failure labels such as operator aborts.
• Per-frame indexing: timestamp, frame index, episode index, global index, task index, terminal state, and terminal success flag.
• Episode-level metadata: task identity, success/failure outcome, failure reason, duration, frozen-frame count, quality scores, and derived execution metrics.
• Phase-level annotations: frame-range segment boundaries for object approach, grasp, transport, placement, retraction, wiping passes, collision events, handovers, and failed task attempts.
• Failure semantics: selected episodes include cleanup-incomplete, operator-abort, collision, wrong-object, and task-attempt failure signals in annotations and metrics.

Camera views

observation.images.front_cam
observation.images.left_cam
observation.images.left_cam_45
observation.images.right_cam
observation.images.top_cam
observation.images.wrist_cam_l
observation.images.wrist_cam_r

All RGB videos are 1280 x 960 H.264 streams at 30 FPS with no audio.

Segmentation mask fields

observation.masks.left_cam_45_seg
observation.masks.top_cam_seg
observation.masks.wrist_cam_l_seg
observation.masks.wrist_cam_r_seg

Segmentation masks are stored as 8-bit grayscale PNG label maps and referenced from parquet rows.

The label map is:

Label	Class
0	background
1	left_franka_panda
2	right_franka_panda
3	sponge
4	liquid_spill
5	cup
6	table_surface

Each mask field is represented as a parquet struct with:

instance_segmentation: string path to a PNG mask frame
label_map: map<string,string>

Object pose field

observation.object_poses

Each row stores a list of object records with:

object_id
position: float32[3], meters, right-handed world frame
orientation: float32[4], quaternion_xyzw, right-handed world frame
velocity_linear: float32[3], meters/second, finite difference
dirty_fraction: float32, remaining_dirty_fraction in [0.0, 1.0]

The stream contains three task objects per frame:

sponge
cup
liquid_spill

The sponge and cup are interactable rigid objects and include 6DoF pose labels: 3D position plus quaternion orientation. The liquid_spill is represented as a task-state object: it includes position and the remaining dirty fraction, while its orientation and linear velocity may be null.

The objective cleanup metric is:

liquid_spill.dirty_fraction

This value is a fraction in [0.0, 1.0], where:

• 1.0 means 100% of the original dirty area remains.
• 0.01 means 1% remains.
• 0.0 means the spill is fully cleaned.

The terminal cleanup-quality criterion is:

terminal_dirty_fraction <= 0.01

The recorded episode outcome is stored in next.success on the final frame and in annotations.json. It should be treated as authoritative because it also captures failure semantics such as operator_abort.

Core trajectory fields

observation.state
action
timestamp
frame_index
episode_index
index
task_index
next.done
next.success

Parquet schema

Each episode parquet contains 21 columns:

timestamp
frame_index
episode_index
index
task_index
next.done
next.success
observation.state
action
observation.object_poses
observation.images.front_cam
observation.images.left_cam

observation.images.left_cam_45
observation.masks.top_cam_seg
observation.masks.wrist_cam_l_seg
observation.masks.wrist_cam_r_seg
observation.masks.left_cam_45_seg

next.done is true on the final frame of each episode. next.success is true only on the final frame of successful episodes.

Intended use

This sample is suitable for:

• Inspecting the Exylos data format and annotation schema.
• Testing LeRobot-compatible training and data-loading pipelines.
• Quick imitation-learning experiments on a narrow bimanual spill-cleanup task.
• Evaluating synchronized multi-view RGB, dual-arm state/action trajectories, segmentation masks, object poses, and phase-level annotations.
• Inspecting visual domain randomization and procedural variation in a compact manipulation sample.
• Reviewing success, cleanup-incomplete, operator-abort, collision, wrong-object, and task-attempt failure examples.
• Prototyping perception-conditioned policies that use RGB, masks, object-state signals, or combinations of these modalities.

For larger production-scale skill packs, including broader object families, configurable embodiments, denser labels, custom evaluation logic, or higher episode volumes, visit exylos.ai or contact us directly.

---

Out-of-scope

• This sample does not target a specific real-world deployment cell or production line.
• This 50-episode sample does not include depth maps or RGB-D streams.
• It does not include a held-out benchmark split tuned for leaderboard-style evaluation.
• It is a compact inspection sample rather than a broad benchmark for all spill-cleanup behaviors.
• The segmentation masks and object pose labels are provided for inspection, loading, and prototype training; downstream users should validate that the semantics match their own evaluation or policy-training requirements.

---

Validation notes

The local sample was checked for:

• 50 parquet files with matching episode IDs from episode_000000 through episode_000049.
• 350 RGB MP4 files, 7 camera streams per episode.
• 269,844 segmentation PNG files, 4 mask streams per frame.
• All parquet references to segmentation mask assets resolve to existing files.
• Sampled segmentation masks load as 8-bit grayscale images with labels 0..6.
• observation.object_poses contains the expected task objects: sponge, cup, and liquid_spill.
• Terminal cleanup quality, dirty_fraction <= 0.01, aligns with recorded success except for operator-abort semantics; next.success and annotations.json remain the authoritative outcome fields.
