RoboCasa365: A Large-Scale Simulation Framework for Training and Benchmarking Generalist Robots

RoboCasa

RoboCasa is a large-scale simulation framework for training generally capable robots to perform everyday tasks. It was originally released in 2024 by UT Austin researchers. The latest iteration, RoboCasa365, builds upon the original release with significant new functionalities to support large-scale training and benchmarking in sim. Four pillars underlie RoboCasa365:

• Diverse tasks: 365 tasks created with the guidance of large language models
• Diverse assets: including 2,500+ kitchen scenes and 3,200+ 3D objects
• High-quality demonstrations: including 600+ hours of human demonstrations in addition to 1,600+ hours of robot datasets created with automated trajectory tools
• Benchmarking support: popular policy learning methods including Diffusion Policy, pi, and GR00T, plus user-submitted models on the leaderboard

Installation

RoboCasa works across all major computing platforms. The easiest way to set up is through the Anaconda package management system. Follow the instructions below to install:

1. Set up conda environment:

   conda create -c conda-forge -n robocasa python=3.11
   

2. Activate conda environment:

   conda activate robocasa
   

3. Clone and setup robosuite dependency (important: use the master branch!):

   git clone https://github.com/ARISE-Initiative/robosuite
   cd robosuite
   pip install -e .
   

4. Clone and setup this repo:

   cd ..
   git clone https://github.com/robocasa/robocasa
   cd robocasa
   pip install -e .
   pip install pre-commit; pre-commit install           # Optional: set up code formatter.
   
   (optional: if running into issues with numba/numpy, run: conda install -c numba numba=0.56.4 -y)
   

5. Install the package and download assets:

   python -m robocasa.scripts.setup_macros              # Set up system variables.
   python -m robocasa.scripts.download_kitchen_assets   # Caution: Assets to be downloaded are around 10GB.

Basic Usage

Gym wrapper

You can create environments using gym wrappers and run rollouts:

import gymnasium as gym
import robocasa
from robocasa.utils.env_utils import run_random_rollouts

env = gym.make(
    "robocasa/PickPlaceCounterToCabinet",
    split="pretrain", # use 'pretrain' or 'target' kitchen scenes and objects
    seed=0 # seed environment as needed. set seed=None to run unseeded
)

# run rollouts with random actions and save video
run_random_rollouts(
    env, num_rollouts=3, num_steps=100, video_path="/tmp/test.mp4"
)

Play back sample demonstrations of tasks

(Mac users: for these scripts, prepend the "python" command with "mj": mjpython ...)

Select a task and play back a sample demonstration for the selected task:

python -m robocasa.demos.demo_tasks

Explore kitchen scenes

Explore 2500+ kitchen scenes:

python -m robocasa.demos.demo_kitchen_scenes

Explore library of 2500+ objects

View and interact with both human-designed and AI-generated objects:

python -m robocasa.demos.demo_objects

Note: By default, this demo shows objaverse objects. To view AI-generated objects, add the flag --obj_types aigen.

Teleoperate the robot

Control the robot directly, either through a keyboard controller or spacemouse. This script renders the robot semi-translucent in order to minimize occlusions and enable better visibility.

python -m robocasa.demos.demo_teleop

Note: If using SpaceMouse, you may need to modify the product ID to your appropriate model, setting SPACEMOUSE_PRODUCT_ID in robocasa/macros_private.py.
