Axis Weekly
This week was about making the AXIS loop more scalable end to end: automating data-to-model workflows, testing recovery-driven training, expanding TaskGen coverage, and preparing the dataset and model stack for release.
Key updates:
- Data-to-model automation: We used scripts to speed up and standardize several repetitive but critical workflows.
- Continuous-growth training: We completed multi-data-scale training and success-rate comparisons across several failure tasks.
- Failure task expansion: A new batch of failure tasks has been pushed to test, expanding the evaluation range for ablations across data scale, data quality, and randomization.
- TaskGen: Articulated-object generation is now merged into the automatic generation pipeline.
- Model and release prep: We finished the first round of fine-tuning, evaluation, and benchmarking, completed the dataset’s conference submission, and are now improving experimental results for release.

This week was about trust and transfer: making community data cleaner, generated tasks broader, and trained policies more robust as they move from simulation to real robots.
Key updates:
- Data quality: We completed a suspicious-user audit script to detect abnormal collection behavior using user statistics and replay/verify failure reasons.
- Webapp and simulation: We improved key gripper and asset interactions, including penetration, heavy-object grasping, and IK flexibility.
- Recover-from-failure: We tested Failure Task 892 and collected 300 failure initial states, with the next round moving to repaired and more randomized tasks.
- TaskGen: Articulated-object generation is now merged into the automatic generation pipeline, covering cabinets, dishwashers, drawers, and existing randomization workflows.
- Model and real-world stack: We completed the first round of fine-tuning, evaluation, and benchmarking, merged the π0.5 evaluation pipeline into the real-world stack, and started bringing a new embodiment into the loop.
