Policies

ACT ALOHA Sim Transfer Cube

ALOHA 2bimanual cube transfer

Action Chunking with Transformers (ACT) policy for bimanual cube transfer. Trained in simulation on the ALOHA sim-transfer-cube-human task. This is the reference ACT checkpoint from the LeRobot project.

ACT ALOHA Sim Insertion

ALOHA 2peg insertion

ACT policy for bimanual peg insertion task. The policy learns to coordinate both arms to insert a peg into a socket. Reference checkpoint from the LeRobot library.

Diffusion Policy Push-T

Franka Emika PandaPush-T block manipulation

Diffusion Policy trained on the Push-T task from Chi et al. (RSS 2023). Uses DDPM-based action generation conditioned on visual observations. The Push-T task requires pushing a T-shaped block to a target pose.

Diffusion Policy Robomimic Can

Franka Emika Pandacan pick-and-place

Diffusion Policy applied to the PickPlaceCan task from the Robomimic benchmark. Demonstrates state-of-the-art imitation learning on the Robomimic suite, outperforming prior BC and BC-RNN baselines.

Octo Base

Franka Emika Pandageneralist manipulation

Octo-Base: a 93M parameter generalist robot policy from the Octo team (UC Berkeley). Pre-trained on 800k episodes from the Open X-Embodiment dataset spanning 22 robot embodiments. Supports language and goal-image conditioning.
