In the field of artificial intelligence, the significance of datasets is not only reflected in supporting algorithm training, but also in promoting the expansion of technical boundaries and practical transformation. AgiBot recently announced the open-source of its embodied intelligence dataset AgiBot World, which is a landmark event in the industry with its million-level real machine data scale, far exceeding Google's Open X-Embodiment dataset. This incident also fully reflects China's database advantages in AI development in the future. China Exportsemi will comprehensively analyze the technical highlights and practical significance of AgiBot World, and evaluate its far-reaching impact on academia and industry.
The core highlight of the project
Data scale and scenario coverage
1. Data size: AgiBot World's dataset size is about 10 times the size of Google's Open X-Embodiment, setting a new benchmark with over 1 million high-quality records.
2. Scenario coverage: The data covers more than 80 daily tasks, covering five core scenarios from home and catering to industry and supermarkets, and the number of scenarios is 100 times more than Google's dataset.
Data quality and technical standards
AgiBot has put forward strict standards for data quality from laboratory level to industrial level:
1. The data source is entirely based on the actual machine acquisition, and the possible bias of the simulation data is excluded.
2. The data contains long-range task sequences (task duration 60s-150s), which provides a basis for the time-dependent modeling of the algorithm.
3. The distribution ratio of scenarios and tasks is reasonable: 40% for home scenes, 20% for catering and industry, 10% for supermarkets and offices, covering 3000+ items and maintaining dynamic expansion.
Advanced hardware support
The acquisition device is based on a high-spec hardware configuration:
1. Eight surround HD cameras, 6 degrees of freedom dexterous hands, six-dimensional force sensors and high-precision tactile sensors ensure the collection of all-round, multi-modal high-quality data.
2. The robot is designed with 32 active degrees of freedom to simulate delicate operations and collaborative tasks in complex environments.
Dataset task characteristics
AgiBot World involves a variety of tasks, including fine gripping, flexible manipulation, and multi-step compound behavior. Compared with DROID and Open X-Embodiment, the data volume of long-range tasks is increased by more than 10 times, which significantly enhances the ability of datasets to support complex tasks.
