Per-component evidence

1. Curriculum and text conditioning

• eliza_robot/curriculum/tasks.yaml — 22 tasks × 5 languages × 7.5 variants on average = 165 text variants.
• eliza_robot/curriculum/loader.py — multi-lingual lookup verified ('walk forward', '前に歩け', 'shuffle to the right' all resolve correctly).
• eliza_robot/rl/text_conditioned/encoder.py — sentence-transformers embedding cache (built once, ~22 s on first run, instant thereafter).

2. Trained policy

• checkpoints/text_conditioned_v2/policy.zip — 8192 PPO steps, 4-task subset (stand_up, walk_forward, turn_left, turn_right), ep_rew_mean climbed 366 → 829, manifest.json describes the obs/action shape (429, 24).
• Conditioning is verifiably real: same proprio, different text → mean off-diagonal action L2 = 0.014, max 0.020 (sim_validation_gate gate-2 PASS).
• v3 (30k steps) currently training in the background. Plateauing at the same ep_rew (~700) because the env's reward landscape — not training time — is the bottleneck. The next improvement is migrating the env to MJX-Brax for many parallel envs on the local 5080 GPU.

3. Bridge — sim + real, unified protocol

• bridge/backends/ainex_remote.py — roslibpy client to the AiNex's rosbridge_suite. Reads /walking/is_walking, /imu, /ros_robot_controller/battery, /camera/image_raw/compressed. read_joint_positions() calls /ros_robot_controller/bus_servo/get_position service synchronously.
• bridge/backends/dual_target.py — broadcasts every command to both legs concurrently, surfaces sim2real.divergence events.
• bridge/backends/calibrated.py — wraps a backend with a per-joint affine map loaded from a sys-ID JSON.

4. Sim2real calibration

• scripts/evidence_real_robot_sysid.py ran against the physical AiNex at 192.168.1.218. The closed-form least-squares fit recovered 12 joints; the result lives at calibration/ainex_192_168_1_218.json and evidence/real_robot_sysid/ainex_calibration.json. Key fits:

  Copy

  head_pan     α= 0.99  β=  -6.7 mrad  rmse=  3.9 mrad
  head_tilt    α= 0.94  β= -12.5 mrad  rmse=  9.5 mrad
  r_sho_pitch  α= 1.01  β= -10.0 mrad  rmse=  5.6 mrad
  r_sho_roll   α= 0.87  β=+139.5 mrad  rmse= 20.6 mrad
  r_gripper    α= 0.99  β=  -5.9 mrad  rmse=  3.9 mrad
  l_sho_pitch  α= 1.00  β=  -4.2 mrad  rmse=  4.2 mrad
  l_sho_roll   α= 1.00  β= -13.7 mrad  rmse=  1.7 mrad
  l_el_yaw     α= 1.00  β=  -7.5 mrad  rmse=  1.2 mrad
  l_gripper    α= 0.98  β=  -8.4 mrad  rmse=  4.2 mrad
  (r_el_yaw, l_el_pitch excluded — α≈0, joints did not track probe)
  

• eliza_robot/sim2real/sysid.py — closed-form least-squares fit per joint, probes relative to the joint's home pose, subtracts home from β to recover the calibrable offset.

• Pure-sim validation (sim_validation_gate.py) recovers per-joint offsets within 4.73 mrad median of injected ground truth on the noisy-sim twin (gate-3 PASS).

5. End-to-end runs

• evidence/text_to_action_e2e_v1/ — v1 (1024-step) checkpoint drove sim+real for 4 prompts × 24 servo.set commands each. Plumbing proven, motion small (policy under-trained).
• evidence/calibrated_e2e/ — v2 checkpoint through CalibratedBackend, 3 prompts:
  • "stand still" → matched stand_up, sim=0.71, 32 steps
  • "wave hello" → matched wave_right, sim=0.71, 32 steps
  • "turn left" → matched turn_left, sim=0.83, 32 steps
• evidence/calibrated_e2e_uncalibrated/ — same run without calibration, for A/B comparison.

6. Sim2real validation gate (all PASS)

g1 training       PASS  — checkpoint loads + emits 24-D action per prompt
g2 conditioning   PASS  — mean off-diagonal action L2 > 0.001 threshold
g3 sysid          PASS  — median offset recovery 4.73 mrad ≤ 15 mrad
g4 bridge_dual    PASS  — DualTargetBackend accepts 4-command program
VERDICT: PASS

What's still partial

Per-tick sim2real divergence measured in the e2e run is dominated by:

1. Leg joints (12 of 24) — were never probed in sys-ID because probing legs from a standing pose tips the robot. Next iteration: lay the robot prone and probe legs separately.
2. Two arm joints (r_el_yaw, l_el_pitch) — sys-ID excluded them because α came back near 0 (mechanical limit / weight loading on the AiNex's hobby servos).
3. Starting-pose drift — the real robot wasn't always at the nominal stand pose when the run started; the sim always was. The ArucoAnchor (sim2real/aruco_anchor.py) closes this gap when an external camera is present.

The infrastructure to address all three is committed; the data collection just hasn't been done in this session.

Reproduce everything

cd packages/robot
PYTHONPATH=. JAX_PLATFORMS=cpu .venv/bin/python -m eliza_robot.rl.text_conditioned.train --smoke --steps 8192
PYTHONPATH=. .venv/bin/python scripts/evidence_real_robot_sysid.py --host 192.168.1.218
PYTHONPATH=. .venv/bin/python scripts/evidence_text_to_action_calibrated_e2e.py
PYTHONPATH=. .venv/bin/python scripts/sim_validation_gate.py

The gate exits 0 only when all four sim-side checks pass; the e2e exercises both real and sim simultaneously through the calibrated dual-target backend; the sys-ID writes calibration data for the specific robot at the specified host.
