Quick start: Example reward generation and plotting

# pip install -U rewardgen
from rewardgen import generate, video_plot

video_paths = ['test_videos/robosuite/lift/unsuccessful/robosuite_lift_episode_11_unsuccessful_max_reward_37.mp4']
task_description="Pick up the cube from the table."

# Robometer
rewards, success_probs = generate(model="Robometer",  task_description=task_description, video_paths=video_paths, view_type='external', verbose=False)
output_robometer = {"model": "Robometer", "rewards": rewards[0]}

# SOLE-R1
rewards, reasoning_traces = generate(model="SOLE-R1",  task_description=task_description, video_paths=video_paths, view_type='external and wrist', verbose=False)
output_sole = {"model": "SOLE-R1", "rewards": rewards[0], "reasoning_traces": reasoning_traces[0]}

# Optional: Ground-truth rewards (available for test videos from sim environments)
import json
with open(video_paths[0].replace(".mp4", "/data.json"), 'r') as f:
    data = json.load(f)

output_groundtruth = {"model": "Ground truth", "rewards": data['ground-truth rewards']}

# Plot
video_plot(outputs=[output_groundtruth, output_sole, output_robometer], plot_save_path='model_outputs/combined/robosuite/lift/unsuccessful/robosuite_lift_episode_11_unsuccessful_max_reward_37.mp4', video_path = video_paths[0], task_description=task_description)

task_description	str	✅	Natural language description of the task the robot is performing.
video_paths	List[str]	✅	List of paths to input video files.
view_type_per_video	List[str]	✅	List specifying the camera view(s) used for reward reasoning for each video (e.g., "external", "wrist", or "external and wrist").
key	str	❌	API key required for external models (e.g., OpenAI or Gemini). Not needed for local models.
