How to Implement RT-X Models using PyTorch

Jun 22, 2024 | Data Science

In this guide, we will explore the implementation of two innovative models, RTX-1 and RTX-2, as proposed in the paper titled “Open X-Embodiment: Robotic Learning Datasets and RT-X Models.” These models leverage multi-modal data to enhance robotic learning capabilities. This tutorial is designed to help you understand how to set up, use, and troubleshoot these models effectively.

Prerequisites

  • You should have Python installed on your system.
  • Ensure that PyTorch is set up correctly. You can find installation instructions at PyTorch Official Site.
  • Familiarity with command-line interfaces (CLI) will help you navigate installation and execution more smoothly.

Installation

To install the RTX models, run the following command in your terminal:

pip install rtx-torch

Usage

Before diving into the different models, you can get detailed usage instructions by running:

python run.py --help

Understanding RTX-1 and RTX-2

Imagine you’re organizing a library. Each book has a title and content. If you want a librarian to find specific books based on both their titles (text) and genres (videos), you’d use RTX-1. On the other hand, RTX-2 is like a librarian capable of crafting multi-modal summaries by intermixing book covers (images) and synopses (text) to provide richer responses.

RTX-1 Implementation

RTX-1 takes in text instructions and videos. Currently, it does not utilize EfficientNet, but integration is planned for the future. Below is a demonstration of how to use RTX-1:

import torch
from rtx.rtx1 import RTX1, FilmViTConfig

# Use a pre-trained MaxVit model from pytorch
model = RTX1(film_vit_config=FilmViTConfig(pretrained=True))
video = torch.randn(2, 3, 6, 224, 224)
instructions = ["bring me that apple sitting on the table", "please pass the butter"]

# Compute training logits
train_logits = model.train(video, instructions)

# Set the model to evaluation mode
model.model.eval()

# Compute the evaluation logits with a conditional scale of 3
eval_logits = model.run(video, instructions, cond_scale=3.0)
print(eval_logits.shape)

RTX-2 Implementation

RTX-2 accepts both images and text, interleaving them to form comprehensive multi-modal sentences. It outputs text tokens rather than a 7-dimensional vector representing positions and rotations (x, y, z, roll, pitch, yaw, and gripper).

import torch
from rtx import RTX2

# Example usage
img = torch.randn(1, 3, 256, 256)
text = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 1024))
model = RTX2()
output = model(img, text)
print(output)

EfficientNet Feature Extraction

EfficientNet can be utilized to extract features from images before they are fed into the RTX models. Here’s how to implement this:

from rtx import EfficientNetFilm

model = EfficientNetFilm('efficientnet-b0', 10)
out = model(img.jpeg)

Running Tests

To ensure that everything is working well, you can run tests on the modules using pytest. First, clone the repository and navigate into it:

git clone 
cd 
pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m pytest tests/tests.py

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, consider the following:

  • Ensure that all dependencies are installed and are compatible with your current versions of Python and PyTorch.
  • Check your input dimensions for both images and text, as mismatched dimensions can lead to runtime errors.
  • Consult the detailed help documentation by running python run.py --help to ensure you are using the correct parameters.
