RoboManipBaselines: A Unified Framework for Imitation Learning in Robotic Manipulation across Real and Simulation Environments

摘要

We present RoboManipBaselines, an open-source software framework for imitation learning research in robotic manipulation. The framework supports the entire imitation learning pipeline, including data collection, policy training, and rollout, across both simulation and real-world environments. Its design emphasizes integration through a consistent workflow, generality across diverse environments and robot platforms, extensibility for easily adding new robots, tasks, and policies, and reproducibility through evaluations using publicly available datasets. RoboManipBaselines systematically implements the core components of imitation learning: environment, dataset, and policy. Through a unified interface, the framework supports multiple simulators and real robot environments, as well as multimodal sensors and a wide variety of policy models. We further present benchmark evaluations in both simulation and real-world environments and introduce several research applications, including data augmentation, integration with tactile models, interactive robotic systems, 3D sensing evaluation, and hardware extensions. These results demonstrate that RoboManipBaselines provides a useful foundation for advancing research and experimental validation in robotic manipulation using imitation learning. https://isri-aist.github.io/RoboManipBaselines-ProjectPage
