Model Data
Training data: The VC-1 model was trained on a large-scale dataset of egocentric videos, consisting of over 5.6 million frames. The dataset includes three modalities: manipulation, navigation, and object recognition. The manipulation modality includes videos of people performing various manipulations, such as cooking, cleaning, and tool use. The navigation modality includes videos of people moving around in indoor environments, such as homes and offices. The object recognition modality includes images from the ImageNet dataset, which contains over 1.2 million images of objects in various categories.
This table provides an overview of the assembled datasets used for scaling hypothesis experiments, including the total number of frames and the frames used for each dataset:

Model Creation & Maintenance
The VC-1 model was created by pre-training ViT-B and ViT-L on a combination of egocentric videos and ImageNet using Masked Auto-Encoding (MAE). The model is maintained by the authors and is available for open-source use.
Model Usage
The VC-1 model is intended for EmbodiedAI tasks, such as object manipulation and indoor navigation.. The model outputs embeddings for image frame, which can be used as features for downstream tasks:
from vc_models.models.vit import model_utils
model,embd_size,model_transforms,model_info = model_utils.load_model(model_utils.VC1_BASE_NAME)
#the img loaded should be Bx3x250x250
img = your_function_here ...
#output will be of size Bx3x224x224
transformed_img = model_transforms(img)
#img will be 1x768
embedding = model(transformed_img)

Limitations
The VC-1 model has been evaluated on a limited set of benchmarks and may not perform as well on other tasks. While we have focused on masked auto-encoders as the pre-training objective and ViT as the architecture in our study, there may be other SSL algorithms that exhibit different scaling behaviors or superior performance on the proposed datasets in our benchmark.
Additionally, the VC-1 model is computationally expensive to train and may not be practical for all use cases. The large size of the model may also pose challenges for deployment on resource-constrained devices.
It is important to note that although we utilize real-world images and videos for pre-training our visual representation models (PVRs), the evaluation benchmarks used in this study serve as proxies for actual robotic tasks. Therefore, the performance of the PVR models on real robots may differ from the rankings established in this study. Further research is necessary to fully evaluate the effectiveness of these models in real-world scenarios.
Finally, while we have made efforts to ensure fairness and avoid bias in our benchmark selection, it is possible that certain demographics or use cases may not be adequately represented in our evaluation tasks. Future work could explore additional benchmarks that address a wider range of scenarios and demographics.
