roboreason 0.1.3.5

Roboreason package

RoboReason

RoboReason is a python package that makes it easy to apply any reward model or video-language reasoning model to your robot videos.

Supported Models

• Robometer (https://robometer.github.io)
• TOPReward (https://topreward.github.io/webpage/)
• RoboReward (https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.00675)
• SOLE-R1 (https://philipmit.github.io/sole-r1/)
• OpenAI models (e.g., "gpt-5")
• Google models (e.g., "gemini-3-pro-preview")

ToDos

• Enable fine-tuning of reward models on custom datasets

Quick start: Example reward generation and plotting

# pip install -U roboreason
import roboreason as rr

video_paths = ['test_videos/robosuite/robosuite_lift_example_00.mp4']
task_description="Pick up the cube from the table."

# Robometer
rewards, success_probs = rr.generate(model="robometer",  task_description=task_description, video_paths=video_paths, view_type_per_video=['external'])
output_robometer = {"model": "robometer", "rewards": rewards[0]}

# SOLE-R1
rewards, reasoning_traces = rr.generate(model="sole-r1",  task_description=task_description, video_paths=video_paths, view_type_per_video=['external and wrist'])
output_sole = {"model": "sole-r1", "rewards": rewards[0], "reasoning_traces": reasoning_traces[0]}

rr.video_plot(outputs=[output_sole, output_robometer], plot_save_path='model_outputs/combined/robosuite_lift_example_00.mp4', video_path = video_paths[0])

rr.generate

Argument	Type	Required	Description
model	str	✅	Name of the model to use. Options include: "robometer", "sole-r1", "topreward", "roboreward", OpenAI models (e.g."gpt-5"), Google models (e.g., "gemini-3-pro-preview")
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.

Model Type	Return Values
SOLE-R1 / GPT / Gemini	rewards, reasoning_traces
