Summary

Enable Arena's three existing workflows that still use Isaac Lab Mimic to migrate to AutoData

Detailed description

Support Arena’s GR1 microwave, GR1 refrigerator, and G1 locomanipulation workflows through AutoData. Arena provides the environments and controllers. AutoData handles annotation and generation.

  • Add external environment registration callbacks and configurable generation recorders.
  • Support articulated object poses, controller reference frames, and configurable absolute-pose action layouts.
  • Enable Dexmimicgen locomanip datagen extension that was present in Isaac Lab Mimic but not AutoData.
  • Add workflow YAML configurations, reusing the existing GR1 embodiment descriptor.

Add end-to-end generation tests for all three workflows. Each runs one CPU environment and retries until one successful episode is exported, using the existing subprocess timeout.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added absolute-pose robot control for two- or three-end-effector setups, with optional navigation-state support and playback synchronized to navigation progress.
    • Added environment profile overrides for action settings and external environment callbacks for dataset generation and demo annotation.
    • Added example configurations for navigation, object manipulation, microwave opening, and refrigerator-door tasks.
  • Improvements
    • Object poses now include articulated objects and can be reported relative to a controller reference frame. Robot root poses can also be reported relative to that frame.
    • Task and robot configuration compatibility is checked during setup.

📝 Walkthrough

The pull request adds an absolute-pose embodiment adapter and navigation-aware waypoint synchronization. It adds environment-profile action overrides, external environment callback support in dataset and annotation scripts, and example manipulation and navigation tasks with tests.

Changes: Navigation-Aware Data Generation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Absolute-pose embodiment adapter
autodata_interfaces/embodiments/*, autodata_examples/embodiments/g1_wbc_pink.yaml, autodata_tests/interfaces/embodiments/*
Adds an adapter that validates action-vector slices, reads end-effector and optional navigation state, and encodes and decodes pose and passthrough channels. The factory registers and exports it.
Pose and navigation state integration
autodata_core/algorithms.py, autodata_interfaces/tasks/task_descriptor.py, autodata_interfaces/datastream/datastream.py, autodata_tests/core/test_algorithms.py, autodata_tests/interfaces/tasks/test_task_descriptor.py, autodata_tests/interfaces/datastream/test_datastream.py
DexMimicGen accepts two or three end effectors. Task validation checks end-effector names and navigation-controller configuration. Datastream exposes navigation state and returns rigid and articulated object poses in the adapter reference frame when available.
Navigation-aware waypoint synchronization
autodata_core/data_generator.py, autodata_tests/core/test_data_generator.py
Generation holds playback while navigation is unfinished near the end of its trajectory. When navigation completes, eligible channels advance past recorded steps. Tests cover active, completed, paused, cancelled, and last-waypoint states.
Manipulation and navigation task workflows
autodata_examples/tasks/*, autodata_examples/env_profiles/g1_locomanip.yaml, autodata_tests/e2e/test_arena_data_generation.py, autodata_tests/test_data/arena_data_generation/*
Adds GR1 microwave and refrigerator tasks, a G1 locomotion-manipulation task, and a G1 navigation profile. End-to-end tests exercise three Arena workflows; the annotated datasets are Git LFS pointers.

Environment Profile Action Overrides

Layer / File(s) Summary
Action override schema and application
autodata_interfaces/env/env_profile.py, autodata_interfaces/env/isaaclab_env_interface.py, autodata_tests/interfaces/env/test_env_profile_apply.py
Environment profiles accept and validate an optional actions mapping. Applying a profile sets values on existing action-term parameters and asserts when a term or parameter is missing.

External Environment Registration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Callable resolution and environment registration
autodata_utils/cli.py, autodata_interfaces/env/registration.py, autodata_tests/interfaces/env/test_registration.py
Adds callable-path validation and external environment registration. The registration function forwards environment and provider arguments to a callback and restores sys.argv after invocation or failure.
External callbacks in dataset and annotation scripts
scripts/annotate_demos.py, scripts/generate_dataset.py
The scripts accept external callback paths and pass remaining environment arguments to registration. Dataset generation also accepts a recorder configuration callable and passes its result to environment setup.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0eebe

Earlier review concerns remain open: the navigation hold has no limit and can loop forever, navigation completion can skip commanded arm waypoints, and non-string action parameter keys pass validation and fail later. These should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

add a configurable maximum hold count in DataGenerator.generate, track
consecutive holds returned by _synchronize_navigation, and return

navigation advances or a new attempt begins so a non-progressing controller

validation succeeds.

🟡 Minor · Validate that action override parameter names are strings. · env_profile.py:257-261

autodata_interfaces/env/env_profile.py:257-261
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate that action override parameter names are strings.

validate_profile_dict checks that each term name is a string and each value is a dict. It does not check the keys of the inner parameter dict. A YAML profile such as {controller: {1: 2.0}} passes validation. apply_env_profile then calls hasattr(term_cfg, 1), which raises TypeError instead of the profile-level assertion message that other schema violations produce. The error is also reported at apply time, not at load time.

Add a check that every parameter key is a string.

Proposed fix
     assert all(
-        isinstance(name, str) and isinstance(params, dict) for name, params in actions.items()
-    ), "Each action override must map a term name to a parameter dict."
+        isinstance(name, str) and isinstance(params, dict) and all(isinstance(p, str) for p in params)
+        for name, params in actions.items()
+    ), "Each action override must map a term name to a parameter dict with string keys."

Doc changes for the workflows will be added to the Arena side, for now this will just stay a code change on Autodata as we won't refer users to running these envs natively in AD.
