This PR impements pi0.5 as a HF style wrapper #13

De-funkd · 2025-12-03T17:01:40Z

This PR adds a complete, implementation of Pi0.5 for the Ark Robotics Framework. The implementation follows a HuggingFace-style wrapper pattern, integrating with the LeRobot Pi0.5 policy while maintaining compatibility with the existing ArkML architecture.

Key Features

1. Pi0.5 HuggingFace Wrapper

Complete Pi05Policy wrapper that leverages the actual LeRobot Pi0.5 policy
Follows the same design pattern as existing PiZeroNet for consistency
Supports multi-stage training (pretrain + post-training) with flow matching
Implements Pi0.5-specific architectural features:
- Flow matching for precise action prediction
- Multiple prediction heads (subtask, FAST, flow)
- Enhanced vision-language backbone (SigLIP-Gemma)

2. Complete Algorithm Pipeline

Pi05Algorithm: Multi-stage training algorithm following LeRobot guidelines
Pi05Trainer: Handles both pretrain (CE(text) + CE(FAST tokens)) and post-train (CE(subtask) + α × flow_matching_loss) stages
Pi05Evaluator: Comprehensive evaluation with action metrics
Pi05Dataset: Multi-modality dataset support for different training stages

3. Structurally Identical Node Implementation

Pi05Node: Mirror of PiZeroPolicyNode structure but using Pi05Policy internally
Only accesses model methods without manual tokenization or LeRobot internals
Maintains identical interface: predict(), reset(), forward(), etc.

4. Comprehensive Testing & Benchmarking

Full test suite with 17 comprehensive verification tests
Integration tests verifying compatibility with PiZero
Performance benchmarks for flow matching and backbone operations
Repository integrity tests ensuring no regressions

Architecture Highlights

Flow Matching Implementation

Vector field networks for action prediction
Euler integration for precise action trajectories
Multi-stage training with configurable loss weights

Multi-Stage Training Support

Pretraining: CE(text) + CE(FAST tokens) for foundational representation learning
Post-training: CE(subtask) + α × flow_matching_loss for precise action prediction
Configurable hyperparameters including flow_alpha, integration steps

Enhanced Backbone Support

Vision-language models like SigLIP-Gemma
Proper normalization and preprocessing
Multi-modal input handling

Testing Coverage

Core functionality verification
Integration with existing PiZero workflows
Device compatibility (CPU/CUDA)
Serialization/deserialization
Batch size handling
Parameter consistency checks
Performance benchmarks

Framework Compatibility

All existing algorithms continue to work without changes
Pi0.5 can be used identically to PiZero (same service commands)
No breaking changes to public APIs
Maintains existing deployment workflows
Dependency issues resolved: Framework now loads cleanly with both algorithms

Complete with README, usage examples, and benchmarking
