ACT Model for ALOHA Insertion Task

A lightweight Action Chunking with Transformers (ACT) model trained on the ALOHA simulation Insertion task. This is a difficult bimanual coordination task with lower success rate compared to TransferCube.

Model Description

Property	Value
Architecture	ACT (Action Chunking with Transformers)
Parameters	52M
Task	ALOHA Insertion-v0
Training Steps	200,000
Batch Size	32
Success Rate	~15%

Training Data

Dataset: lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human_image
Episodes: 50 human demonstrations
Frames: 20,000

Task Description

The Insertion task requires a bimanual robot to:

Pick up a socket with the left arm
Pick up a peg with the right arm
Insert the peg into the socket in mid-air

⚠️ This is a difficult task requiring precise bimanual coordination. Success rate is significantly lower than TransferCube.
