D4RL#

Overview#

The D4RL benchmark provides a set of locomotion tasks and demonstration datasets.

Downloading#

Use convert_d4rl.py in the scripts/conversion folder to automatically download and postprocess the D4RL dataset in a single step. For example:

# by default, download to robomimic/datasets
$ python convert_d4rl.py --env walker2d-medium-expert-v0
# download to specific folder
$ python convert_d4rl.py --env walker2d-medium-expert-v0 --folder /path/to/output/folder/
  • --env specifies the dataset to download

  • --folder specifies where you want to download the dataset. If no folder is provided, the datasets folder at the top-level of the repository will be used.

The script will download the raw hdf5 dataset to --folder, and the converted one that is compatible with this repository into the converted subfolder.

Postprocessing#

No postprocessing is required, assuming the above script is run!

D4RL Results#

Below, we provide a table of results on common D4RL datasets using the algorithms included in the released codebase. We follow the convention in the TD3-BC paper, where we average results over the final 10 rollout evaluations, but we use 50 rollouts instead of 10 for each evaluation. Apart from a small handful of the halfcheetah results, the results align with those presented in the TD3_BC paper. We suspect the halfcheetah results are different because we used mujoco-py version 2.0.2.13 in our evaluations, as opposed to 1.5 in order to be consistent with the version we were using for robosuite datasets. The results below were generated with gym version 0.17.3 and this d4rl commit.

BCQ CQL TD3-BC
HalfCheetah-Medium 40.8% (4791) 38.5% (4497) 41.7% (4902)
Hopper-Medium 36.9% (1181) 30.7% (980) 97.9% (3167)
Walker2d-Medium 66.4% (3050) 65.2% (2996) 77.0% (3537)
HalfCheetah-Medium-Expert 74.9% (9016) 21.5% (2389) 79.4% (9578)
Hopper-Medium-Expert 83.8% (2708) 111.7% (3614) 112.2% (3631)
Walker2d-Medium-Expert 70.2% (3224) 77.4% (3554) 102.0% (4683)
HalfCheetah-Expert 94.3% (11427) 29.2% (3342) 95.4% (11569)
Hopper-Expert 104.7% (3389) 111.8% (3619) 112.2% (3633)
Walker2d-Expert 80.5% (3699) 108.0% (4958) 105.3% (4837)

Reproducing D4RL Results#

In order to reproduce the results above, first make sure that the generate_paper_configs.py script has been run, where the --dataset_dir argument is consistent with the folder where the D4RL datasets were downloaded using the convert_d4rl.py script. This is also the first step for reproducing results on the released robot manipulation datasets. The --config_dir directory used in the script (robomimic/exps/paper by default) will contain a d4rl.sh script, and a d4rl subdirectory that contains all the json configs. The table results above can be generated simply by running the training commands in the shell script.
