After repeated experiments with robosuite (Lift, PickPlace with Panda),
one thing that keeps coming up: restarting a training run means losing
all episode-level context from the previous run. Checkpoints save
weights, but things like "gripper force of 8N was too aggressive" or
"approach from the left was more reliable" — those insights get lost.
Since robosuite supports GymWrapper, I added a thin layer on top that
persists episode summaries to a local db:
import robosuite as suite
from robosuite.wrappers import GymWrapper
from robotmem.gymnasium import RobotMemWrapper
env = suite.make("Lift", robots="Panda", has_renderer=False)
env = GymWrapper(env)
env = RobotMemWrapper(env, collection="robosuite_lift")
# episode outcomes auto-logged, past tips available on reset
No changes to robosuite itself — it sits on top of GymWrapper. All
writes go to a local SQLite file.
Tested on FetchPush-v4 (Gymnasium) rather than robosuite-native tasks
so far, where it showed ~42% to ~67% improvement over 300 episodes.
Would need to validate on robosuite environments specifically.
Any thoughts on whether this kind of cross-run experience persistence
would be useful for the robosuite workflow?
