MPI is an interaction-oriented representation learning method towards robot manipulation:
- Instruct the model towards predicting transition frames and detecting manipulated objects with keyframes.
- Foster better comprehension of “how-to-interact” and “where-to-interact”.
- Acquire more informative representations during pre-training and achieve evident improvement across downstream tasks.

- [2024/05/31] We released the implementation of pre-training and evaluation on Referring Expression Grounding task.
- [2024/06/04] We released our paper on arXiv.
- [2024/06/16] We released the model weights.
- [2024/07/05] We released the evaluation code on Franka Kitchen environment.
Step 1. Clone and setup MPI dependency:
git clone https://github.com/OpenDriveLab/MPI
cd MPI
pip install -e .Step 2. Prepare the language model, you may download DistillBERT from HuggingFace
To directly utilize MPI for extracting representations, please download our pre-trained weights:
| Model | Checkpoint | Params. | Config |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPI-Small | GoogleDrive | 22M | GoogleDrive |
| MPI-Base | GoogleDrive | 86M | GoogleDrive |
We provide a example code get_representation.py to show how to obtain the pre-trained MPI features. The MPI encoder by default requires two images as input. In downstream tasks, we simply replicate the current observation to ensure compatibility.
The following diagram presents the composition and arrangement of the extracted tokens:
Download Ego4D Hand-and-Object dataset:
# Download the CLI
pip install ego4d
# Select Subset Of Hand-and-Object
python -m ego4d.cli.cli --output_directory=<path-to-save-dir> --datasets clips annotations --metadata --version v2 --benchmarks FHO
Your directory tree should look like this:
$<path-to-save-dir>
├── ego4d.json
└── v2
|—— annotations
└── clips
Preprocess dataset for pre-training MPI:
python prepare_dataset.py --root_path <path-to-save-dir>/v2/
torchrun --standalone --nnodes 1 --nproc-per-node 8 pretrain.pyStep 1. Prepare the OCID-Ref dataset following this repo. Then put the dataset to
./mpi_evaluation/referring_grounding/data/langrefStep 2. Initiate evaluation with
python mpi_evaluation/referring_grounding/evaluate_refer.py test_only=False iou_threshold=0.5 lr=1e-3 \
model=\"mpi-small\" \
save_path=\"MPI-Small-IOU0.5\" \
eval_checkpoint_path=\"path_to_your/MPI-small-state_dict.pt\" \
language_model_path=\"path_to_your/distilbert-base-uncased\" \or you can simply use
bash mpi_evaluation/referring_grounding/eval_refer.shFollowing the guidebook to setup Franka Kitchen environment and download the expert demonstrations.
