wb_push_cart_stop_go

Whole-body teleoperation data from a Unitree_G1_WholeBody_RGB, published in LeRobot v2.1 format.

Published in the v2.1 layout (one parquet and one video clip per episode) so it loads directly on older lerobot releases. On lerobot v3.0+ run the official upgrade first:

python -m lerobot.datasets.v30.convert_dataset_v21_to_v30 --repo-id=DaoyuanZhu/wb_push_cart_stop_go

Task — push the cart, stop when the human raises a hand, and continue when the human waves again

⚠️ Two variants — pick the right branch

The dataset ships as two branches that differ only in the dexterous-hand dimensions. Every other column (body joints, timestamps, indices) is byte-identical.

Branch	Hand state (dims 22–28 / 36–42)	Hand action	Use it when
main	all zeros — never recorded	raw Dex3 teleop vector, includes negative values	you only need body/locomotion
real_inspair	Inspire estimate, 0.50–1.00	Inspire native command 0.50–1.00, plus a binary open/close trigger in the last slot	you need anything hand-related

If you train on grasping, use real_inspair. On main the hand state columns are identically zero, so a model will silently learn nothing from them.

Schema

observation.state and action are both 43-D, ordered as:

 0–11  legs      left/right  hip_pitch, hip_roll, hip_yaw, knee, ankle_pitch, ankle_roll
12–14  waist     yaw, roll, pitch
15–21  left arm  shoulder_pitch/roll/yaw, elbow, wrist_roll/pitch/yaw
22–28  left hand index_0, index_1, middle_0, middle_1, thumb_0, thumb_1, thumb_2
29–35  right arm shoulder_pitch/roll/yaw, elbow, wrist_roll/pitch/yaw
36–42  right hand index_0, index_1, middle_0, middle_1, thumb_0, thumb_1, thumb_2

In real_inspair, the Inspire hand reports a 6-D estimate: slots 22–27 / 36–41 carry values and slot 28 / 42 stays zero-padded. On the action side the same slots carry the native command and the last slot is a binary trigger (0.0 / 1.0).

The hand state on real_inspair is estimated, transferred from captures that did record Inspire feedback — the legacy rig had no hand sensing. Describe it as estimated/transferred Inspire hand state, not as recorded ground truth.

Teleoperation stream

Pose annotations

Keypoints ride along as parquet columns, one row per frame — no separate annotation files.

Column	Source	Content
observation.human_hand.<cam>.landmarks_uv	MediaPipe Hands	21 points per hand, pixel u/v, left slot then right
observation.human_hand.<cam>.landmarks_2d	MediaPipe Hands	the same points, normalised x/y/z
observation.human_hand.<cam>.world_landmarks	MediaPipe Hands	metric-like world x/y/z
observation.human_hand.<cam>.valid / .score	—	left/right presence flag and handedness confidence
observation.human_body.<cam>.landmarks_uv	RTMO rtmo-m_16xb16-600e_body7	COCO-17 body, pixel u/v
observation.human_body.<cam>.landmarks_2d	RTMO	the same points, normalised
observation.human_body.<cam>.scores / .valid	—	per-keypoint confidence and a per-frame flag

Zero-filled coordinates with valid = 0 mean nothing was detected; there are no NaNs.

How the annotations were filtered

Body detections are post-processed per episode: score threshold, duplicate suppression by bounding-box containment (plain IoU misses a sprawling false box that swallows the real one), fragment merging, then a single-identity lock built from motion tracklets merged on a saturation-masked torso-hue histogram. Tracklets that overlap in time are never merged, since co-visible detections cannot be the same person.

Hand candidates are additionally anchored to the central person's wrist — a detection further than half a shoulder-width from that wrist is rejected, which is what keeps hand-shaped props out of the annotations.
