robotmem — Let Robots Learn from Experience

Your robot ran 1000 experiments, starting from scratch every time. robotmem stores episode experiences — parameters, trajectories, outcomes — and retrieves the most relevant ones to guide future decisions.

FetchPush experiment: +25% success rate improvement (42% → 67%), CPU-only, reproducible in 5 minutes.

Quick Start

pip install robotmem

from robotmem import learn, recall, save_perception, start_session, end_session

# Start an episode
session = start_session(context='{"robot_id": "arm-01", "task": "push"}')

# Record experience
learn(
    insight="grip_force=12.5N yields highest grasp success rate",
    context='{"params": {"grip_force": {"value": 12.5, "unit": "N"}}, "task": {"success": true}}'
)

# Retrieve experiences (structured filtering + spatial nearest-neighbor)
memories = recall(
    query="grip force parameters",
    context_filter='{"task.success": true}',
    spatial_sort='{"field": "spatial.position", "target": [1.3, 0.7, 0.42]}'
)

# Store perception data
save_perception(
    description="Grasp trajectory: 30 steps, success",
    perception_type="procedural",
    data='{"sampled_actions": [[0.1, -0.3, 0.05, 0.8], ...]}'
)

# End episode (auto-consolidation + proactive recall)
end_session(session_id=session["session_id"])

7 APIs

API	Purpose
learn	Record physical experiences (parameters / strategies / lessons)
recall	Retrieve experiences — BM25 + vector hybrid search with context_filter and spatial_sort
save_perception	Store perception / trajectory / force data (visual / tactile / proprioceptive / auditory / procedural)
forget	Delete incorrect memories
update	Correct memory content
start_session	Begin an episode
end_session	End an episode (auto-consolidation + proactive recall)

Key Features

Structured Experience Retrieval

Not just vector search — robotmem understands the structure of robot experiences:

# Retrieve only successful experiences
recall(query="push to target", context_filter='{"task.success": true}')

# Find spatially nearest scenarios
recall(query="grasp object", spatial_sort='{"field": "spatial.object_position", "target": [1.3, 0.7, 0.42]}')

# Combine: success + distance < 0.05m
recall(
    query="push",
    context_filter='{"task.success": true, "params.final_distance.value": {"$lt": 0.05}}'
)

Context JSON — 4 Sections

{
    "params":  {"grip_force": {"value": 12.5, "unit": "N", "type": "scalar"}},
    "spatial": {"object_position": [1.3, 0.7, 0.42], "target_position": [1.25, 0.6, 0.42]},
    "robot":   {"id": "fetch-001", "type": "Fetch", "dof": 7},
    "task":    {"name": "push_to_target", "success": true, "steps": 38}
}

Each recalled memory automatically extracts params / spatial / robot / task as top-level fields.

Memory Consolidation + Proactive Recall

end_session automatically triggers:

• Consolidation: Merges similar memories with Jaccard similarity > 0.50 (protects constraint / postmortem / high-confidence entries)
• Proactive Recall: Returns historically relevant memories for the next episode

FetchPush Demo

cd examples/fetch_push
pip install gymnasium-robotics
PYTHONPATH=../../src python demo.py  # 90 episodes, ~2 min

Three-phase experiment: baseline → memory writing → memory utilization. Expected Phase C success rate 10-20% higher than Phase A.
