🛠️ Installation

Only tested on Ubuntu 22.04

Install docker following the official documentation and finish linux-postinstall.

Install system-level dependencies:

$ sudo apt install -y libosmesa6-dev libgl1-mesa-glx libglfw3 patchelf

We recommend Miniforge instead of the standard anaconda distribution for faster installation:

$ mamba env create -f conda_environment.yaml

Activate environment

$ conda activate umi

For this dataset, 99% of the data are useable (successful SLAM), with 0 demonstrations dropped. If your dataset has a low SLAM success rate, double check if you carefully followed our data collection instruction.

Despite our significant effort on robustness improvement, OBR_SLAM3 is still the most fragile part of UMI pipeline. If you are an expert in SLAM, please consider contributing to our fork of OBR_SLAM3 which is specifically optimized for UMI workflow.
