Observation Space

The complete set of sensory inputs available to a robot policy at each timestep. A typical observation space includes: camera images (RGB, depth), proprioceptive state (joint positions, velocities, gripper width), and sometimes force-torque readings, tactile data, or language instructions. The observation space design significantly impacts what information the policy can use for decision-making.
