Prepare Demonstrations with Context

Preserve what the robot saw and what the task required while your team builds reviewed demonstration datasets.

Objects in Recorded Demonstrations

Locate the objects a robot interacts with in recorded frames. Apply consistent object classes so the same task can be interpreted across its camera views.

Task Phases Across Time

Describe observable phases such as grasping, moving and placing. Review the recorded sequence and apply the project’s action definitions to the relevant frames.
Task instruction spans identify the action, blue block and destination tray.

Instruction Text Annotation

Label action, object and destination mentions in supplied task instructions. Review these spans alongside the demonstration so the wording remains grounded in the recorded task.

Demonstration Review

Check object boundaries and task labels against the recorded demonstration. Return ambiguous annotations for correction before accepting the example.

Annotation Types for Robot Demonstrations

Use visual objects and instruction spans to describe recorded tasks with clear source context.

Visual Object Annotations

Bounding boxes locate visible task objects in demonstration frames. Class labels keep the object definition consistent across recorded views.

Instruction Entities

Text spans identify the action, object and destination mentioned in a supplied instruction. Each span remains anchored to the exact words in its source.

Task instruction spans identify the action, blue block and destination tray.

Robot Demonstration Datasets FAQs

What is robot demonstration annotation?

It is the labeling of recorded robot tasks for learning and evaluation datasets. Annotators identify visible objects, observed task phases and relevant instruction text while keeping the source recordings available for review.

How is this different from robotic object recognition?

Object recognition focuses on identifying objects in visual inputs. Demonstration annotation also preserves the sequence, task instruction and related views that explain an observed interaction. The workflows can share an object ontology.

Can multiple camera recordings be reviewed together?

Yes. Related files can be grouped and arranged in a configured multimodal layout. Annotators inspect each recording in its supported viewer and compare the views when reviewing the demonstration.

How are demonstration files grouped?

Auto-Grouping uses configured filename patterns and grouping keys. Teams define expected files and inspect the resulting cases. Grouping alone does not establish timestamp alignment between cameras.

Can task instructions be annotated?

Yes. Supplied text can receive entity spans for the action, object or destination. Annotators can review the instruction beside the related media and use consistent project properties for task context.

How should observed actions be labeled?

Define phases using evidence that annotators can see in the recording, such as grasping or placing an object. Apply the same definitions across examples and send ambiguous phases through review.

Can sensor recordings accompany demonstrations?

Supported sensor CSV recordings can be included with the media. They provide recorded channel context and can receive range or point annotations using the sensor tools.

How are annotation errors corrected?

Reviewers inspect the demonstration views, text and labels together. A configured review stage can return work for correction and another review pass before the case advances.

Can a selected demonstration set be preserved?

Selected source assets can be organized into a dataset and published as an immutable version. This preserves the chosen source set for annotation and downstream preparation.
