🌏 RISE

📢 News

• 2026/Jun/03 ❗❗❗ Please pull the latest code for important bug fixes.
• 2026/Mar/27 🚀 RISE got accepted to RSS 2026.
• 2026/Mar/22 Training code and pre-trained dynamics model are released.
• 2026/Feb/11 Paper released on arXiv.

🔥 Highlights

• A compositional world model. A principled design that combines a controllable multi-view dynamics model with a progress value model, yielding informative advantages for robust policy improvement.
• RL in imagination. A scalable self-improving framework that bootstraps robot policies through imaginary rollouts, avoiding the hardware cost and laborious reset of real-world interactions.
• Real-world manipulation gains. Non-trivial performance improvements on challenging dexterous tasks, including +35% on dynamic brick sorting, +45% on backpack packing, and +35% on box closing.

🗺️ Overview

RISE repository is structured with three major parts:

• policy_and_value/policy_offline_and_value: OpenPI-based offline policy and value training. They are put together since they share similar model architecture and training pipeline.
• dynamics/dynamics_model: Action-conditioned dynamics model.
• policy_and_value/policy_online: Online RL for policy improvement.

🧑‍💻 Getting Started
