I made it easy to see how well robotics models acutally work

A developer built the Blupe playground, an open-source interface that lets users control real robot arms with AI models, submit task prompts, and watch live video of runs, with code published on GitHub under the blupe-remote-yam repository. The playground records each run's prompts, model replies, and robot feedback, and plots results as a 3D map of nearby task descriptions colored green for success, red for failure, amber for uncertain, and hollow for no agreed result. The tool also links to an ASPIRE README from NVIDIA Labs (NVlabs) and offers API docs and instructions for running the playground locally.

Nearby points have similar task descriptions; this does not establish identical starting conditions or physical difficulty. Small offsets separate repeated attempts.

Green: Success. Red: Failure. Amber: Uncertain. Hollow: No agreed result. Choose Draw box, then drag to select a 3D region. Drag empty space to orbit; scroll or pinch to zoom.

On touch screens, drag a point into the pointer or tap a point to preview; tap Open run for full replay. With a mouse, hover to preview and click to open. Drag to rotate; pinch or scroll to zoom. Arrow keys rotate, +/− zoom, Home resets. Use [ and ] to focus each run; Escape closes the preview. Hollow points have no agreed result. Table provides an accessible alternative.

Select a point to inspect a run. Hover for a quick preview. Select a recording to watch the full run.

How to use the playground #

  1. Choose a robot and model. Open the model menu to set up your connection and run duration.
  2. Describe the task. Send your prompt to join the queue. Watch the cameras and follow the robot’s progress in task chat.
  3. Review the run. Browse recordings below, or open the dataset to explore the camera and action data.
