# RoboChallenge ICRA Whole Body Control Dataset

This dataset contains **2,800 teleoperated episodes** collected on the [Agibot G2](https://www.agibot.com/) humanoid robot. Each episode captures a full mobile manipulation sequence—navigating to a shelf, grasping drink(s), walking to a cart, and placing item(s) into it—recorded via multi-camera observations and full-body proprioception at **30 Hz**.

## Tasks

| Task | Episodes | Description |
|------|----------|-------------|
| `grasp_the_drink` | 1,278 | Navigate to the shelf, grasp **one** drink with one hand, carry it to the cart, and place it in. |
| `grasp_the_drink_with_both_hands` | 1,522 | Navigate to the shelf, grasp **two** drinks (one per hand), carry them to the cart, and place them in. |

### Drink Variants

Episodes cover **16 drink categories**: ENONE Juice, Itoen Barley Tea, Schweppes Vitamin C, 7UP, Mirinda, Coconut Water, Frozen Pear Drink, JDB Herbal Tea, Pepsi, Huayang Soda, Weichuan Daily C, Aojiru, Tropicana, Minute Maid Juice, Coca Cola,ENONE Sparkling Water.

## Cameras

Each episode contains **six** video streams (fisheye cameras are excluded from this release):

| File | View | Resolution | Codec | FPS |
|------|------|------------|-------|-----|
| `head_color.mp4` | Head RGB | 640 × 400 | HEVC | 30 |
| `head_depth.mp4` | Head depth (encoded as video) | 640 × 400 | PNG | 30 |
| `head_stereo_left_color.mp4` | Head stereo left RGB | 1920 × 1536 | HEVC | 30 |
| `head_stereo_right_color.mp4` | Head stereo right RGB | 1920 × 1536 | HEVC | 30 |
| `hand_left_color.mp4` | Left wrist / hand RGB | 1280 × 1056 | HEVC | 30 |
| `hand_right_color.mp4` | Right wrist / hand RGB | 1280 × 1056 | HEVC | 30 |

### Synchronization

For each integer frame `i` in `aligned_joints.h5`, the group `f"{i}"/timestamp/camera/<name>` stores a `uint64` array of length 1 representing the sensor timestamp. Use these timestamps to align decoded video frames to HDF5 rows. Available timestamp keys: `hand_left_color`, `hand_right_color`, `head_color`, `head_depth`, `head_stereo_left`, `head_stereo_right`.

## Quick Start

```python
import h5py
import json
from pathlib import Path

task_root = Path("grasp_the_drink")
episode_dir = task_root / "data" / "episode_00000"

# 1. Read task description
with open(episode_dir / "meta" / "task_desc.json") as f:
    task_desc = json.load(f)
print(task_desc["grasp_the_drink"]["description"])

# 2. Load proprioception
with h5py.File(episode_dir / "states" / "aligned_joints.h5", "r") as f:
    frame_keys = sorted(f.keys(), key=int)
    print(f"Number of frames: {len(frame_keys)}")

    # Read frame 0
    frame = f[frame_keys[0]]
    action_joints = frame["action/joint/position"][:]      # (14,)
    state_joints  = frame["state/joint/position"][:]       # (14,)
    left_gripper  = frame["state/left_effector/position"][:] # (1,)
    print(f"Action joints shape: {action_joints.shape}")
    print(f"State joints shape:  {state_joints.shape}")

# 3. Video files
video_dir = episode_dir / "videos"
for mp4 in sorted(video_dir.glob("*.mp4")):
    print(mp4.name)
```
