Instruction

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 Door environment (MuJoCo).

Goal: Open the door. It is latched: first turn its lever handle far enough to release the latch, then swing the door open toward the robot. robosuite's Door check: the hinge angle hinge_qpos is above 0.3 rad (the hinge stops at 0.4 rad). The door must still be open when the robot stops after robo done.

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); door_pos (centre of the door panel), handle_pos (the end of the lever handle), hinge_qpos (door opening angle, radians, 0 = closed), handle_qpos (lever rotation, radians; it is spring-loaded back to 0), door_hinge_pos (a point on the door's vertical hinge axis; the door swings about it); table_height.
  • robo observe --image saves the sideview camera; add --camera robot0_eye_in_hand for the wrist camera. Images are 320x320.
  • The step budget is 400 steps.
  • The lever sits on the robot's side of the door; the latch only releases once the lever has turned past about 1.2 rad, and it catches again if the lever springs back before the door has opened a little. The handle end moves on a circle about the hinge as the door opens, so pull along that circle rather than in a straight line.
How the robot is controlled and scored

You are controlling a simulated robot. Read the task below, then solve it by running the robo command in your shell (start with robo info and robo observe). Keep going until the task is done, then call robo done once. Do not stop to ask questions; there is no human to answer.

How to control the robot

You are the robot's policy. You act only through the robo command in your shell. There is no other way to move the robot, and you cannot read or change the simulator, the scoring, or other files to succeed; the episode server judges the final physical state itself.

robo info                         # action space, available skills, step budget
robo observe                      # robot and object state as numbers
robo observe --image              # also saves a camera image and prints its path (open it to look)
robo act DX DY DZ GRIP [--repeat N]   # low-level action, applied N times (N <= 50)
robo move-to X Y Z [--grip G]     # skill: move the gripper toward a point (if enabled for this task)
robo grip G [--steps N]           # skill: hold position and set the gripper (+1 close, -1 open)
robo done "short summary"         # end the episode and ask for scoring
robo give-up "reason"             # end the episode without claiming success
  • Positions are in metres in the world frame (x, y on the table plane, z up).
  • The episode has a fixed step budget (see robo info); every simulated step counts, including skills.
  • Unless the task says otherwise, success is judged about 10 steps after you call robo done, with the robot holding still, so the goal must still be true when the robot stops.
  • Work in small steps and re-observe after each motion. Call robo done exactly once when finished.
