RoboLight: A Dataset with Linearly Composable Illumination for Robotic Manipulation

From loco-motion to dextrous manipulation, humanoid robots have made remarkable strides in demonstrating complex full-body capabilities. However, the majority of current robot learning datasets and benchmarks mainly focus on stationary robot arms, and the few existing humanoid datasets are either confined to fixed environments or limited in task diversity, often lacking human-humanoid interaction and lower-body locomotion. Moreover, there are a few standardized evaluation platforms for benchmarking learning-based policies on humanoid data. In this work, we present Humanoid Everyday, a large-scale and diverse humanoid manipulation dataset characterized by extensive task variety involving dextrous object manipulation, human-humanoid interaction, locomotion-integrated actions, and more. Leveraging a highly efficient human-supervised teleoperation pipeline, Humanoid Everyday aggregates high-quality multimodal sensory data, including RGB, depth, LiDAR, and tactile inputs, together with natural language annotations, comprising 10.3k trajectories and over 3 million frames of data across 260 tasks across 7 broad categories. In addition, we conduct an analysis of representative policy learning methods on our dataset, providing insights into their strengths and limitations across different task categories. For standardized evaluation, we introduce a cloud-based evaluation platform that allows researchers to seamlessly deploy their policies in our controlled setting and receive performance feedback. By releasing Humanoid Everyday along with our policy learning analysis and a standardized cloud-based evaluation platform, we intend to advance research in general-purpose humanoid manipulation and lay the groundwork for more capable and embodied robotic agents in real-world scenarios. Our dataset, data collection code, and cloud evaluation website are made publicly available on our project website.

We introduce Lucid-XR, a generative data engine for creating diverse and realistic-looking multi-modal data to train real-world robotic systems. At the core of Lucid-XR is vuer, a web-based physics simulation environment that runs directly on the XR headset, enabling internet-scale access to immersive, latency-free virtual interactions without requiring specialized equipment. The complete system integrates on-device physics simulation with human-to-robot pose retargeting. Data collected is further amplified by a physics-guided video generation pipeline steerable via natural language specifications. We demonstrate zero-shot transfer of robot visual policies to unseen, cluttered, and badly lit evaluation environments, after training entirely on Lucid-XR's synthetic data. We include examples across dexterous manipulation tasks that involve soft materials, loosely bound particles, and rigid body contact. Project website: https://lucidxr.github.io

In the field of robot learning, large-scale and diverse demonstration trajectories provide the fundamental basis for enhancing robotic manipulation ability. We introduce RoboTacDex, a large, multi-modal, and diverse dataset of dexterous manipulation behaviors performed with a humanoid robot. Built on the publicly accessible humanoid robot Unitree G1, RoboTacDex consists of 6k trajectories covering 19 tasks, 23 skills, and interactions with 22 objects. RoboTacDex provides comprehensive records including multi-view RGB and depth information, tactile feedback, and detailed semantic annotations. Furthermore, the dataset features a variety of relatively challenging tasks that can only be completed by dual arms and dexterous hands, aiming to mimic human-like operational logic and simulate real-world manipulation complexity. To ensure data collection quality, we develop an improved multi-camera synchronization system to enable millisecond data synchronization and recording of modalities. In our experiments, we evaluate three representative imitation learning models on our dataset, analyzing their performance as well as their respective strengths and limitations across different task categories. Successful trial results and a moderate level of generalization capabilities across a suite of tasks indicate the effectiveness and diversity of the collected dataset. Our dataset will be open-sourced soon.
