# RoboInter-Data: Intermediate Representation Annotations for Robot Manipulation

Rich, dense, per-frame **intermediate representation annotations** for robot manipulation, built on top of [DROID](https://droid-dataset.github.io/) and [RH20T](https://rh20t.github.io/). Developed as part of the [RoboInter](https://github.com/InternRobotics/RoboInter) project. You can try our [**Online demo**](https://huggingface.co/spaces/wz7in/robointer-demo).

The annotations cover 230k episodes and include: subtasks,
primitive skills, segmentation, gripper/object bounding boxes, placement proposals, affordance boxes,
grasp poses, traces, contact points, etc. And each with a quality rating (Primary / Secondary).

### Quick Start
The dataloader is located at our RoboInter [Codebase](https://github.com/InternRobotics/RoboInter/blob/main/RoboInterData/lerobot_dataloader).

```python
from lerobot_dataloader import create_dataloader

# Single dataset
dataloader = create_dataloader(
    "path/to/Annotation_with_action_lerobotv21/lerobot_droid_anno",
    batch_size=32,
    action_horizon=16,
)

for batch in dataloader:
    images = batch["observation.images.primary"]   # (B, H, W, 3)
    actions = batch["action"]                      # (B, 16, 7)
    trace = batch["annotation.trace"]              # JSON strings
    skill = batch["annotation.primitive_skill"]    # List[str]
    break

# Multiple datasets (DROID + RH20T)
dataloader = create_dataloader(
    [
        "path/to/lerobot_droid_anno",
        "path/to/lerobot_rh20t_anno",
    ],
    batch_size=32,
    action_horizon=16,
)
```

### Filtering by Quality & Frame Range

```python
from lerobot_dataloader import create_dataloader, QAnnotationFilter

dataloader = create_dataloader(
    "path/to/lerobot_droid_anno",
    batch_size=32,
    range_nop_path="path/to/range_nop.json",       # Remove idle frames
    q_filters=[
        QAnnotationFilter("Q_annotation.trace", ["Primary"]),
        QAnnotationFilter("Q_annotation.gripper_box", ["Primary", "Secondary"]),
    ],
)
```

For full dataloader documentation and transforms, see: [RoboInterData/lerobot_dataloader](https://github.com/InternRobotics/RoboInter/tree/main/RoboInterData/lerobot_dataloader).

### Format Conversion Scripts

The LeRobot v2.1 data was converted using:

- **DROID**: [convert_droid_to_lerobot_anno_fast.py](https://github.com/InternRobotics/RoboInter/blob/main/RoboInterData/convert_to_lerobot/convert_droid_to_lerobot_anno_fast.py)
- **RH20T**: [convert_rh20t_to_lerobot_anno_fast.py](https://github.com/InternRobotics/RoboInter/blob/main/RoboInterData/convert_to_lerobot/convert_rh20t_to_lerobot_anno_fast.py)

---

## 2. Annotation_pure (Annotation-Only LMDB)

Contains **only the intermediate representation annotations** (no action data, no videos) stored as a single LMDB database. Useful for lightweight access to annotations or as input for the LeRobot conversion pipeline. The format conversion scripts and corresponding lightweight dataloader functions are provided in [lmdb_tool](https://github.com/InternRobotics/RoboInter/blob/main/RoboInterData/lmdb_tool). You can downloade high-resolution
videos by following [Droid hr_video_reader](https://github.com/InternRobotics/RoboInter/blob/main/RoboInterData/hr_video_reader) and [RH20T API](https://github.com/rh20t/rh20t_api).

### Data Format

Each LMDB key is an episode name (e.g., `"3072_exterior_image_1_left"`). The value is a dict mapping frame indices to per-frame annotation dicts:

```python
{
    0: {  # frame_id
        "time_clip": [[0, 132], [132, 197], [198, 224]],   # subtask segments
        "instruction_add": "pick up the red cup",           # language instruction
        "substask": "reach for the cup",                    # current subtask
        "primitive_skill": "reach",                         # skill label
        "segmentation": None,                               # (stored separately in Annotation_raw)
        "object_box": [[45, 30], [120, 95]],                # manipulated object bbox
        "placement_proposal": [[150, 80], [220, 140]],      # target placement bbox
        "trace": [[x, y], ...],                             # next 10 gripper waypoints
        "gripper_box": [[60, 50], [100, 80]],               # gripper bbox
        "contact_frame": 101,                               # contact event frame (−1 if past contact)
        "state_affordance": [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6],# 6D EEF state at contact
        "affordance_box": [[62, 48], [98, 82]],             # gripper bbox at contact frame
        "contact_points": [[75, 65], [85, 65]],             # contact pixel coordinates
        ...
    },
    1: { ... },
    ...
}
```

### Reading LMDB

```python
import lmdb
import pickle

lmdb_path = "Annotation_pure/annotations"
env = lmdb.open(lmdb_path, readonly=True, lock=False, readahead=False)

with env.begin() as txn:
    # List all episode keys
    cursor = txn.cursor()
    for key, value in cursor:
        episode_name = key.decode("utf-8")
        episode_data = pickle.loads(value)

        # Access frame 0
        frame_0 = episode_data[0]
        print(f"{episode_name}: {frame_0['instruction_add']}")
        print(f"  object_box: {frame_0['object_box']}")
        print(f"  trace: {frame_0['trace'][:3]}...")  # first 3 waypoints
        break

env.close()
```

### CLI Inspection Tool

```bash
cd RoboInter/RoboInterData/lmdb_tool

# Basic info
python read_lmdb.py --lmdb_path Annotation_pure/annotations --action info

# View a specific episode
python read_lmdb.py --lmdb_path Annotation_pure/annotations --action item --key "3072_exterior_image_1_left"

# Field coverage statistics
python read_lmdb.py --lmdb_path Annotation_pure/annotations --action stats --key "3072_exterior_image_1_left"

# Multi-episode summary
python read_lmdb.py --lmdb_path Annotation_pure/annotations --action summary --limit 100
```

## 3. Annotation_raw (Original Annotations)

The original, unprocessed annotation files before conversion to LMDB format. These files are large and slow to load.

| File | Size | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| `droid_annotation.pkl` | ~20 GB | Raw DROID intermediate representation annotations |
| `rh20t_annotation.pkl` | ~11 GB | Raw RH20T intermediate representation annotations |
| `segmentation_npz.zip.*` | ~50 GB | Object segmentation masks (split archives) |

### Reading Raw PKL
```bash
cd /RoboInter-Data/Annotation_raw
cat segmentation_npz.zip.* > segmentation_npz.zip
unzip segmentation_npz.zip
```

```python
import pickle

with open("Annotation_raw/droid_annotation.pkl", "rb") as f:
    droid_data = pickle.load(f)  # Warning: ~20 GB, takes several minutes

# droid_data[episode_key] contains raw intermediate representation data
# including: all_language, all_gripper_box, all_grounding_box, all_contact_point, all_traj, etc.
```

> To convert raw PKL to the LMDB format used in `Annotation_pure`, see the conversion script in the [RoboInter repository](https://github.com/InternRobotics/RoboInter).

## 4. Demo Subsets (Annotation_demo_app & Annotation_demo_larger)

Pre-packaged subsets for quick visualization using the [RoboInterData-Demo](https://github.com/InternRobotics/RoboInter/tree/main/RoboInterData-Demo) Gradio app. Both subsets share the same LMDB annotation format + MP4 video structure.

| Subset | Videos | Size | Use Case |
|--------|--------|------|----------|
| `Annotation_demo_app` | 20 | ~929 MB | HuggingFace Spaces [online demo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/wz7in/robointer-demo) |
| `Annotation_demo_larger` | 120 | ~12 GB | Local visualization with more examples |

### Running the Visualizer

```bash
git clone https://github.com/InternRobotics/RoboInter.git
cd RoboInter/RoboInterData-Demo

# Option A: Use the small demo subset (for Spaces)
ln -s /path/to/Annotation_demo_app/demo_data ./demo_data
ln -s /path/to/Annotation_demo_app/videos ./videos

# Option B: Use the larger demo subset (for local)
ln -s /path/to/Annotation_demo_larger/demo_annotations ./demo_data
ln -s /path/to/Annotation_demo_larger/videos ./videos

pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py
# Open http://localhost:7860
```

The visualizer supports all annotation types: object segmentation masks, gripper/object/affordance bounding boxes, trajectory traces, contact points, grasp poses, and language annotations (instructions, subtasks, primitive skills).
