Fit the round nut over the round peg

A Franka Emika Panda (7-DoF) with its parallel-jaw gripper works at a table; its base is at the -x end, facing +x. The scene is robosuite's NutAssemblyRound environment (MuJoCo).

Goal: Pick up the round nut by its handle and fit it over the round peg so that it slides down around the peg to the table. robosuite's NutAssembly check: the nut's centre is within 3 cm of the peg's axis in x and y, below table_height + 0.05, and the gripper is at least about 4 cm away from it.

Call robo done when finished; the check is made after the robot then holds still for 10 steps, so the result must last.

This robot

• The action has 7 numbers, not 4: robo act DX DY DZ DROLL DPITCH DYAW GRIP, each in [-1, 1]: robosuite's OSC_POSE end-effector command plus the gripper, 20 steps per second, in the world frame. DX/DY/DZ = 1.0 asks for a 5 cm move (held at 1.0 the hand travels about 1.1 cm per step); DROLL/DPITCH/DYAW rotate the hand about the world x/y/z axes (1.0 asks for 0.5 rad; leave them at 0 unless you need to turn the hand, e.g. DYAW to line the fingers up with an object); GRIP +1 closes, -1 opens, 0 keeps the fingers as they are (they move over about 5 steps).
• robo move-to X Y Z [--grip G] and robo grip G are available; they move only the position and keep the hand's orientation (it can drift slowly under load; correct it with DROLL/DPITCH/DYAW).
• World frame, metres: +x points away from the robot's base, +y to the robot's left, +z up.
• robo observe fields: hand_pos (the gripper's grasp point between the fingertips, metres), hand_quat (hand orientation quaternion x, y, z, w; about [1, 0, 0, 0] when the gripper points straight down), gripper_open (distance between the two finger pads in metres: largest when open, smallest when closed on nothing, in between when holding something), gripper_yaw_deg (direction of the line through the two fingertips in the table plane, degrees from +x, in [-90, 90); the fingers close along this line); roundnut_pos, roundnut_quat, roundnut_yaw_deg (the nut's centre, i.e. its hole; the nut's local x axis points from the hole toward the handle), roundnut_handle_pos (the flat handle tab, about 5.4 cm from the centre); square_peg_pos, round_peg_pos (the two pegs; use the round one); table_height. Every <object>_quat (x, y, z, w) comes with <object>_yaw_deg, the object's heading about the vertical axis (its local x axis, degrees from +x).
• robo observe --image saves the agentview camera; add --camera robot0_eye_in_hand for the wrist camera. Images are 320x320.
• The step budget is 500 steps.
• Holding the nut by its handle, the hole hangs about 5 cm from the hand, so align the nut's centre (not the hand) over the peg. The pegs are near the far edge of the robot's reach: reaching past them is hard, so turn the nut so its handle points toward the robot or sideways. Lower it slowly; if it jams on the peg top, lift and re-centre.
