TASL FR3 — 10-task real-robot manipulation dataset (video format)
Teleoperated (GELLO) demonstrations collected on a Franka FR3 + Robotiq gripper bench at TASL, in LeRobot v2.1 format. Used to LoRA fine-tune π0.5-DROID.
- 250 episodes — exactly 25 per task, 10 tasks
- 66,463 frames @ 15 fps (~74 minutes of teleoperation)
- 2 camera views, 224×224 RGB, stored as h264 mp4 (500 videos)
This is the video-format copy, made so the LeRobot dataset visualizer can open it (that viewer rejects image-only datasets). The image-in-parquet original — which is what the policy was actually trained on — lives at
Litian2002/tasl-fr3-10task-250ep. Frame data is identical; only the storage format differs.
Tasks & episode index
Episodes are grouped by task and numbered contiguously — task_index = k covers
episode_{25k} … episode_{25k+24}, 25 demonstrations each.
eval id is the short code used by the evaluation harness and by the rollout datasets
(e.g. T4-a-OOD1_r02_F). It is not stored in this dataset, but the two orderings line
up one-to-one.
| eval id | task_index |
instruction | episodes | frames (median / total) | watch first demo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T1-a | 0 | pick up the blue cup and place it into the red cup | 0–24 |
264 / 6,788 | episode_0 |
| T1-b | 1 | stack the red block on top of the blue block | 25–49 |
353 / 10,051 | episode_25 |
| T2-a | 2 | press the blue button | 50–74 |
175 / 4,678 | episode_50 |
| T2-b | 3 | close the lid of the wooden shape sorter box | 75–99 |
206 / 5,831 | episode_75 |
| T3-a | 4 | align the three colored blocks to the same orientation | 100–124 |
193 / 5,099 | episode_100 |
| T3-b | 5 | rotate the red block so that it is perpendicular to the blue block | 125–149 |
270 / 7,228 | episode_125 |
| T4-a | 6 | insert the orange block into the wooden shape sorter box | 150–174 |
258 / 6,295 | episode_150 |
| T4-b | 7 | insert the book into the black book stand | 175–199 |
259 / 7,602 | episode_175 |
| T5-a | 8 | pull the smaller book out of the black book stand | 200–224 |
188 / 4,813 | episode_200 |
| T5-b | 9 | pull the small block out from under the large block | 225–249 |
317 / 8,078 | episode_225 |
| all 10 tasks | 250 | 66,463 |
File paths
Each episode is three files, indexed by the same zero-padded number:
videos/chunk-000/observation.images.exterior/episode_%06d.mp4 # table view (ZED 2i)
videos/chunk-000/observation.images.wrist/episode_%06d.mp4 # eye-in-hand (ZED Mini)
data/chunk-000/episode_%06d.parquet # state / actions / indices
So T4-a (insert the orange block) is episode_000150 … episode_000174.
- Browse every exterior video:
videos/chunk-000/observation.images.exterior - Step through any episode with video + state/action plots side by side: LeRobot visualizer — change
&episode=to any index 0–249.
Columns
| column | shape / dtype | meaning |

observation.images.exterior |
224×224×3 video | exterior camera (ZED 2i), looking at the table |
observation.images.wrist |
224×224×3 video | wrist camera (ZED Mini, eye-in-hand) |
state |
float32 [8] |
7 joint angles + 1 gripper width |
actions |
float32 [8] |
7 joint velocities + 1 gripper command, normalized to [-1, 1] |
task_index |
int64 | index into meta/tasks.jsonl |
episode_index, frame_index, index, timestamp |
standard LeRobot fields | |
done, is_success, intervene_flag |
bool | written by the collection stack but constant — carries no information |
Notes / caveats
- No filtering was applied. Every frame recorded during teleoperation is present; no idle-frame removal, no success filtering. Idle frames are effectively absent anyway (only 0.4% of frames have max |joint velocity| < 0.05).
is_successandintervene_flagareTrueon every frame, so they cannot be used to select successful demonstrations.- Episode lengths: min 4, 1st pct 124, median 248, 99th pct ~700, max 971 frames.
episode_index=172is only 4 frames long (0.3 s) and should be dropped. - The two camera images are a centre-square crop of a 1280×720 ZED frame, resized to 224 — roughly 56% of the original horizontal field of view.
- Collected 2026-08-16 and 2026-08-20.
