Dataset Description:

The Arena-GR1-Manipulation-Task dataset is multimodal collections of trajectories generated in Isaac Lab. It supports humanoid (GR1) manipulation task in IsaacLab-Arena environment. Each entry provides the full context (state, vision, language, action) needed to train and evaluate generalist robot policies for opening microwave task.

Dataset Name	# Trajectories
GR1 Manipulation Task	50

This dataset is ideal for behavior cloning, policy learning, and generalist robotic manipulation research. It has been for post-training GR00T N1.5 model.

This dataset is ready for commercial use.

Dataset Owner

NVIDIA Corporation

Dataset Creation Date:

10/10/2025

License/Terms of Use:

This dataset is governed by the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC-BY-4.0).

Intended Usage:

This dataset is intended for:

• Training robot manipulation policies using behavior cloning.
• Research in generalist robotics and task-conditioned agents.
• Sim-to-real / Sim-to-Sim transfer studies.

Dataset Characterization:

Data Collection Method

• Automated
• Automatic/Sensors
• Synthetic

10 human teleoperated demonstrations are collected through a depth camera and keyboard in Isaac Lab. All 50 demos are generated automatically using a synthetic motion trajectory generation framework, Mimicgen [1]. Each demo is generated at 50 Hz.

Labeling Method

Not Applicable

Dataset Format:

We provide a few dataset files, including

• a human-annoated 10 demonstrations in HDF5 dataset file (arena_gr1_manipulation_dataset_annotated.hdf5)
• a Mimic-generated 50 demonstrations in HDF5 dataset file (arena_gr1_manipulation_dataset_generated.hdf5)
• a GR00T-Lerobot formatted dataset converted from the Mimic-generated HDF5 dataset file (lerobot)

Each demo in GR00T-Lerobot datasets consists of a time-indexed sequence of the following modalities:

Actions

• action (FP64): joint desired positions for all body joints (36 DoF)

Observations

• observation.state (FP64): joint positions for all body joints (54 DoF)

Task-specific

• timestamp (FP64): simulation time in seconds of each recorded data entry.
• annotation.human.action.task_description (INT64): index referring to the language instruction recorded in the metadata
• annotation.human.action.valid (INT64): index indicating validity of annotaion recorded in the metadata
• episode_index (INT64): index indicating the order of each demo
• task_index (INT64): index used in multi-task data loader. Not applicable to Gr00t-N1 post training, always set to 0.

Videos

• 512 x 512 RGB videos in mp4 format from first-person-view camera

In additional, a set of metadata describing the followings is provided,

• episodes.jsonl contains a list of all the episodes in the entire dataset. Each episode contains a list of tasks and the length of the episode.
• tasks.jsonl contains a list of all the tasks in the entire dataset.
• modality.json contains the modality configuration.
• info.json contains the dataset information.

Dataset Quantification:

Record Count

GR1 Manipulation Task

• Number of demonstrations/trajectories: 50
• Number of RGB videos: 50

Total Storage

5.16 GB
