Jax BC/RL Implementations for BridgeData V2

This repository provides code for training on BridgeData V2.

We provide implementations for the following subset of methods described in the paper:

Goal-conditioned BC
Goal-conditioned BC with a diffusion policy
Goal-condtioned IQL
Goal-conditioned contrastive RL
Language-conditioned BC

The official implementations and papers for all the methods can be found here:

IDQL (IQL + diffusion policy) [Hansen-Estruch et al.] and Diffusion Policy [Chi et al.]
IQL [Kostrikov et al.]
Contrastive RL [Zheng et al., Eysenbach et al.]
RT-1 [Brohan et al.]
ACT [Zhao et al.]

Please open a GitHub issue if you encounter problems with this code.

Data

The raw dataset (comprised of JPEGs, PNGs, and pkl files) can be downloaded here. demos*.zip file contains the demonstration data, and scripted*.zip contains the data collected with a scripted policy. For training, the raw data needs to be converted into a format that is compatible with a data loader. We offer two options:

A custom tf.data loader. This data loader is implemented in jaxrl_m/data/bridge_dataset.py and is used by the training script in this repo. The scripts in the data_processing folder convert the raw data into the format required by this data loader. First, use bridgedata_raw_to_numpy.py to convert the raw data into NumPy files. Then, use bridgedata_numpy_to_tfrecord.py to convert the NumPy files into TFRecord files.
A TensorFlow Datasets loader. Tensorflow Datasets is a high level wrapper around tf.data. We offer a pre-processed TFDS version of the dataset (downsampled to 256x256) in the tfds folder here here. In the TFDS dataset, the trajectories are structured using the RLDS format. We recommend using the Octo data loader for loading the RLDS version of BridgeData. If you would like to reprocess BridgeData into RLDS (e.g to change the resolution or add keys), you can use this repo.

Training

To start training run the command below. Replace METHOD with one of gc_bc, gc_ddpm_bc, gc_iql, or contrastive_rl_td, and replace NAME with a name for the run.

python experiments/train.py \
    --config experiments/configs/train_config.py:METHOD \
    --bridgedata_config experiments/configs/data_config.py:all \
    --name NAME

Training hyperparameters can be modified in experiments/configs/data_config.py and data parameters (e.g. subsets to include/exclude) can be modified in experiments/configs/train_config.py.

Evaluation

First, set up the robot hardware according to our guide. Install our WidowX robot controller stack from this repo.

There are two ways to interface a policy with the robot controller: the docker compose service method or the server-client method. Refer to the bridge_data_robot docs for an explanation of how to set up each method. In general, we recommend the server-client method.

For the server-client method, start the server on the robot. Then run the following commands on the client. You can specify the IP of the remote server via the --ip flag. The default IP is localhost (i.e the server and client are the same machine).

# Specify the path to the downloaded checkpoints directory
export CHECKPOINT_DIR=/path/to/checkpoint_dir

# For GCBC
python experiments/eval.py \
  --checkpoint_weights_path $CHECKPOINT_DIR/checkpoint_300000 \
  --checkpoint_config_path $CHECKPOINT_DIR/gcbc_256_config.json \
  --im_size 256 --goal_type gc --show_image --blocking

# For LCBC
python experiments/eval.py \
  --checkpoint_weights_path $CHECKPOINT_DIR/checkpoint_145000 \
  --checkpoint_config_path $CHECKPOINT_DIR/lcbc_256_config.json \
  --im_size 256 --goal_type lc --show_image --blocking

You can also specify an initial position for the end effector with the flag --initial_eep. Similarly, use the flag --goal_eep to specify the position of the end effector when taking a goal image.

To evaluate image-conditioned or language-conditioned methods with the docker compose service method, run eval_gc.py or eval_lc.py respectively in the bridge_data_v2 docker container.

Provided Checkpoints

Checkpoints for GCBC, LCBC, D-GCBC, GCIQL, and CRL are available here. Each checkpoint has an associated JSON file with its configuration information. The name of each checkpoint indicates whether it was trained with 128x128 images or 256x256 images.

We don't currently have a checkpoints for ACT or RT-1 available but may release them soon.
