# Cameras
LeRobot offers multiple options for video capture, including phone cameras, built-in laptop cameras, external webcams, and Intel RealSense cameras. To efficiently record frames from most cameras, you can use either the `OpenCVCamera` or `RealSenseCamera` class. For additional compatibility details on the `OpenCVCamera` class, refer to the [Video I/O with OpenCV Overview](https://docs.opencv.org/4.x/d0/da7/videoio_overview.html).
LeRobot offers multiple options for video capture:
### Finding your camera
| Class | Supported Cameras |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `OpenCVCamera` | Phone, built-in laptop, USB webcams |
| `ZMQCamera` | Network-connected cameras |
| `RealSenseCamera` | Intel RealSense (with depth) |
| `Reachy2Camera` | Reachy 2 robot cameras |
To instantiate a camera, you need a camera identifier. This identifier might change if you reboot your computer or re-plug your camera, a behavior mostly dependant on your operating system.
> [!TIP]
> For `OpenCVCamera` compatibility details, see the [Video I/O with OpenCV Overview](https://docs.opencv.org/4.x/d0/da7/videoio_overview.html).
To find the camera indices of the cameras plugged into your system, run the following script:
### Find your camera
Every camera requires a unique identifier to be instantiated, allowing you to distinguish between multiple connected devices.
`OpenCVCamera` and `RealSenseCamera` support auto-discovery. Run the command below to list available devices and their identifiers. Note that these identifiers may change after rebooting your computer or re-plugging the camera, depending on your operating system.

Note that using RealSense cameras in `macOS` is unstable.
## Use Cameras
`ZMQCamera` and `Reachy2Camera` do not support auto-discovery. They must be configured manually by providing their network address and port or robot SDK settings.
Below are two examples, demonstrating how to work with the API.
## Use cameras
- **Asynchronous frame capture** using an OpenCV-based camera
### Frame access modes
All camera classes implement three access modes for capturing frames:
| Method | Behavior | Blocks? | Best For |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `read()` | Waits for the camera hardware to return a frame. May block for a long time depending on the camera and SDK. | Yes | Simple scripts, sequential capture |
| `async_read(timeout_ms)` | Returns the latest unconsumed frame from background thread. Blocks only if buffer is empty, up to `timeout_ms`. Raises `TimeoutError` if no frame arrives. | With a timeout | Control loops synchronized to camera FPS |
| `read_latest(max_age_ms)` | Peeks at the most recent frame in buffer (may be stale). Raises `TimeoutError` if frame is older than `max_age_ms`. | No | UI visualization, logging, monitoring |
### Usage examples
The following examples show how to use the camera API to configure and capture frames from different camera types.
- **Blocking and non-blocking frame capture** using an OpenCV-based camera
- **Color and depth capture** using an Intel RealSense camera
> [!WARNING]
> Failing to cleanly disconnect cameras can cause resource leaks. Use the context manager protocol to ensure automatic cleanup:
>
> ```python
> with OpenCVCamera(config) as camera:
> ...
> ```
>
> You can also call `connect()` and `disconnect()` manually, but always use a `finally` block for the latter.

# Using Subtasks in LeRobot Datasets
Subtask support in robotics datasets has proven effective in improving robot reasoning and understanding. Subtasks are particularly useful for:
- **Hierarchical policies**: Building policies that include subtask predictions to visualize robot reasoning in real time
- **Reward modeling**: Helping reward models understand task progression (e.g., SARM-style stage-aware reward models)
- **Task decomposition**: Breaking down complex manipulation tasks into atomic, interpretable steps
LeRobotDataset now supports subtasks as part of its dataset structure, alongside tasks.
## What are Subtasks?
While a **task** describes the overall goal (e.g., "Pick up the apple and place it in the basket"), **subtasks** break down the execution into finer-grained steps:
1. "Approach the apple"
2. "Grasp the apple"
3. "Lift the apple"
4. "Move to basket"
5. "Release the apple"
Each frame in the dataset can be annotated with its corresponding subtask, enabling models to learn and predict these intermediate stages.

/>
<p>
<em>Figure: Overview of subtask annotation.</em>
</p>
**Reference:** _Subtask-learning based for robot self-assembly in flexible collaborative assembly in manufacturing_, Original Article, Published: 19 April 2022.
## Dataset Structure
Subtask information is stored in the dataset metadata:
```
my-dataset/
├── data/
│ └── ...
├── meta/
│ ├── info.json
│ ├── stats.json
│ ├── tasks.parquet
│ ├── subtasks.parquet # Subtask index → subtask string mapping
│ └── episodes/
│ └── ...
└── videos/
└── ...
```
### Subtasks Parquet File
The `meta/subtasks.parquet` file maps subtask indices to their natural language descriptions:
| subtask_index | subtask (index column) |
| ------------- | ---------------------- |
| 0 | "Approach the apple" |
| 1 | "Grasp the apple" |
| 2 | "Lift the apple" |
| ... | ... |
### Frame-Level Annotations
Each frame in the dataset can include a `subtask_index` field that references the subtasks parquet file:
```python
# Example frame data in the parquet file
{
"index": 42,
"timestamp": 1.4,
"episode_index": 0,
"task_index": 0,
"subtask_index": 2, # References "Lift the apple"
"observation.state": [...],
"action": [...],
}
```
## Annotating Datasets with Subtasks
We provide a HuggingFace Space for easily annotating any LeRobotDataset with subtasks:
**[https://huggingface.co/spaces/lerobot/annotate](https://huggingface.co/spaces/lerobot/annotate)**
After completing your annotation:
1. Click "Push to Hub" to upload your annotated dataset
2. You can also run the annotation space locally by following the instructions at [github.com/huggingface/lerobot-annotate](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot-annotate)
## Loading Datasets with Subtasks
When you load a dataset with subtask annotations, the subtask information is automatically available:
```python
from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
# Load a dataset with subtask annotations
dataset = LeRobotDataset("jadechoghari/collect-fruit-annotated")
# Access a sample
sample = dataset[100]
# The sample includes both task and subtask information
print(sample["task"]) # "Collect the fruit"
print(sample["subtask"]) # "Grasp the apple"
print(sample["task_index"]) # tensor(0)
print(sample["subtask_index"]) # tensor(2)
```
### Checking for Subtask Support
You can check if a dataset has subtask annotations:
```python
# Check if subtasks are available
has_subtasks = (
"subtask_index" in dataset.features
and dataset.meta.subtasks is not None
)
if has_subtasks:
print(f"Dataset has {len(dataset.meta.subtasks)} unique subtasks")
print("Subtasks:", list(dataset.meta.subtasks.index))
```
## Using Subtasks for Training
### With the Tokenizer Processor
The `TokenizerProcessor` automatically handles subtask tokenization for Vision-Language Action (VLA) models:
```python
from lerobot.processor.tokenizer_processor import TokenizerProcessor
from lerobot.processor.pipeline import ProcessorPipeline
# Create a tokenizer processor
tokenizer_processor = TokenizerProcessor(
tokenizer_name_or_path="google/paligemma-3b-pt-224",
padding="max_length",
max_length=64,
)
# The processor will automatically tokenize subtasks if present in the batch
# and add them to the observation under:
# - "observation.subtask.tokens"
# - "observation.subtask.attention_mask"
```
When subtasks are available in the batch, the tokenizer processor adds:
- `observation.subtask.tokens`: Tokenized subtask text
- `observation.subtask.attention_mask`: Attention mask for the subtask tokens
### DataLoader with Subtasks
```python
import torch
from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
dataset = LeRobotDataset("jadechoghari/collect-fruit-annotated")
dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
dataset,
batch_size=16,
shuffle=True,
)
for batch in dataloader:
# Access subtask information in the batch
subtasks = batch["subtask"] # List of subtask strings
subtask_indices = batch["subtask_index"] # Tensor of subtask indices
# Use for training hierarchical policies or reward models
print(f"Batch subtasks: {set(subtasks)}")
```
## Example Datasets with Subtask Annotations
Try loading a dataset with subtask annotations:
```python
from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
# Example dataset with subtask annotations
dataset = LeRobotDataset("jadechoghari/collect-fruit-annotated")
# Explore the subtasks
print("Available subtasks:")
for subtask_name in dataset.meta.subtasks.index:
print(f" - {subtask_name}")
# Get subtask distribution
subtask_counts = {}
for i in range(len(dataset)):
sample = dataset[i]
subtask = sample["subtask"]
subtask_counts[subtask] = subtask_counts.get(subtask, 0) + 1
print("\nSubtask distribution:")
for subtask, count in sorted(subtask_counts.items(), key=lambda x: -x[1]):
print(f" {subtask}: {count} frames")
```
## Use Cases
### 1. Hierarchical Policy Training
Train policies that predict both actions and current subtask:
```python
class HierarchicalPolicy(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, num_subtasks):
super().__init__()
self.action_head = nn.Linear(hidden_dim, action_dim)
self.subtask_head = nn.Linear(hidden_dim, num_subtasks)
def forward(self, observations):
features = self.encoder(observations)
actions = self.action_head(features)
subtask_logits = self.subtask_head(features)
return actions, subtask_logits
```
### 2. Stage-Aware Reward Modeling (SARM)
Build reward models that understand task progression:
```python
# SARM predicts:
# - Stage: Which subtask is being executed (discrete)
# - Progress: How far along the subtask (continuous 0-1)
class SARMRewardModel(nn.Module):
def forward(self, observations):
features = self.encoder(observations)
stage_logits = self.stage_classifier(features)
progress = self.progress_regressor(features)
return stage_logits, progress
```
### 3. Progress Visualization
Monitor robot execution by tracking subtask progression:
```python
def visualize_execution(model, observations):
for t, obs in enumerate(observations):
action, subtask_logits = model(obs)
predicted_subtask = subtask_names[subtask_logits.argmax()]
print(f"t={t}: Executing '{predicted_subtask}'")
```

## Motor Configuration
OpenArm uses Damiao motors with the following default configuration:
| Joint | Motor Type | Send ID | Recv ID |
| --------------------------- | ---------- | ------- | ------- |
| joint_1 (Shoulder pan) | DM8009 | 0x01 | 0x11 |
| joint_2 (Shoulder lift) | DM8009 | 0x02 | 0x12 |
| joint_3 (Shoulder rotation) | DM4340 | 0x03 | 0x13 |
| joint_4 (Elbow flex) | DM4340 | 0x04 | 0x14 |
| joint_5 (Wrist roll) | DM4310 | 0x05 | 0x15 |
| joint_6 (Wrist pitch) | DM4310 | 0x06 | 0x16 |
| joint_7 (Wrist rotation) | DM4310 | 0x07 | 0x17 |
| gripper | DM4310 | 0x08 | 0x18 |
## Troubleshooting
### No Response from Motors
1. Check power supply connections
2. Verify CAN wiring (CAN-H, CAN-L, GND)
3. Run diagnostics: `lerobot-setup-can --mode=test --interfaces=can0`
4. See the [Damiao troubleshooting guide](./damiao#troubleshooting) for more details
### CAN Interface Not Found
Ensure the CAN interface is configured:
```bash
ip link show can0
```

## Running on Real Robot
Once the robot server is running on the G1 (see Part 3), you can teleoperate and record on the real robot.
### Start the Camera Server
On the robot, start the ZMQ image server:
```bash
python src/lerobot/cameras/zmq/image_server.py
```
Keep this running in a separate terminal for camera streaming during recording.
### Teleoperate Real Robot
```bash
lerobot-teleoperate \
--robot.type=unitree_g1 \
--robot.is_simulation=false \
--teleop.type=unitree_g1 \
--teleop.left_arm_config.port=/dev/ttyACM1 \
--teleop.right_arm_config.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
--teleop.id=exo \
--fps=100
```
### Record Dataset on Real Robot
```bash
python -m lerobot.scripts.lerobot_record \
--robot.type=unitree_g1 \
--robot.is_simulation=false \
--robot.cameras='{"global_view": {"type": "zmq", "server_address": "172.18.129.215", "port": 5555, "camera_name": "head_camera", "width": 640, "height": 480, "fps": 30}}' \
--teleop.type=unitree_g1 \
--teleop.left_arm_config.port=/dev/ttyACM1 \
--teleop.right_arm_config.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
--teleop.id=exo \
--dataset.repo_id=your-username/dataset-name \
--dataset.single_task="Test" \
--dataset.num_episodes=2 \
--dataset.episode_time_s=5 \
--dataset.reset_time_s=5 \
--dataset.push_to_hub=true
```
**Note**: Update `server_address` to match your robot's camera server IP.
