+This file provides guidance to AI agents when working with code in this repository.
+
+> **User-facing help → [`AGENT_GUIDE.md`](./AGENT_GUIDE.md)** (SO-101 setup, recording, picking a policy, training duration, eval — with copy-pasteable commands).
+
+## Project Overview
+
+LeRobot is a PyTorch-based library for real-world robotics, providing datasets, pretrained policies, and tools for training, evaluation, data collection, and robot control. It integrates with Hugging Face Hub for model/dataset sharing.
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+Python 3.12+ · PyTorch · Hugging Face (datasets, Hub, accelerate) · draccus (config/CLI) · Gymnasium (envs) · uv (package management)
+
+## Development Setup
+
+```bash
+uv sync --locked                            # Base dependencies
+uv sync --locked --extra test --extra dev   # Test + dev tools
+uv sync --locked --extra all                # Everything
+git lfs install && git lfs pull             # Test artifacts
+```
+
+## Key Commands
+
+```bash
+uv run pytest tests -svv --maxfail=10                 # All tests
+DEVICE=cuda make test-end-to-end                      # All E2E tests
+pre-commit run --all-files                           # Lint + format (ruff, typos, bandit, etc.)
+```
+
+## Architecture (`src/lerobot/`)
+
+- **`scripts/`** — CLI entry points (`lerobot-train`, `lerobot-eval`, `lerobot-record`, etc.), mapped in `pyproject.toml [project.scripts]`.
+- **`configs/`** — Dataclass configs parsed by draccus. `train.py` has `TrainPipelineConfig` (top-level). `policies.py` has `PreTrainedConfig` base. Polymorphism via `draccus.ChoiceRegistry` with `@register_subclass("name")` decorators.
+- **`policies/`** — Each policy in its own subdir. All inherit `PreTrainedPolicy` (`nn.Module` + `HubMixin`) from `pretrained.py`. Factory with lazy imports in `factory.py`.
+- **`processor/`** — Data transformation pipeline. `ProcessorStep` base with registry. `DataProcessorPipeline` / `PolicyProcessorPipeline` chain steps.
+- **`datasets/`** — `LeRobotDataset` (episode-aware sampling + video decoding) and `LeRobotDatasetMetadata`.
+- **`envs/`** — `EnvConfig` base in `configs.py`, factory in `factory.py`. Each env subclass defines `gym_kwargs` and `create_envs()`.
+- **`robots/`, `motors/`, `cameras/`, `teleoperators/`** — Hardware abstraction layers.
+- **`types.py`** and **`configs/types.py`** — Core type aliases and feature type definitions.
+
+## Repository Structure (outside `src/`)
+
+- **`tests/`** — Pytest suite organized by module. Fixtures in `tests/fixtures/`, mocks in `tests/mocks/`. Hardware tests use skip decorators from `tests/utils.py`. E2E tests via `Makefile` write to `tests/outputs/`.
+- **`.github/workflows/`** — CI: `quality.yml` (pre-commit), `fast_tests.yml` (base deps, every PR), `full_tests.yml` (all extras + E2E + GPU, post-approval), `latest_deps_tests.yml` (daily lockfile upgrade), `security.yml` (TruffleHog), `release.yml` (PyPI publish on tags).
+- **`docs/source/`** — HF documentation (`.mdx` files). Per-policy READMEs, hardware guides, tutorials. Built separately via `docs-requirements.txt` and CI workflows.
+- **`examples/`** — End-user tutorials and scripts organized by use case (dataset creation, training, hardware setup).
+- **`docker/`** — Dockerfiles for user (`Dockerfile.user`) and CI (`Dockerfile.internal`).
+- **`benchmarks/`** — Performance benchmarking scripts.
+- **Root files**: `pyproject.toml` (single source of truth for deps, build, tool config), `Makefile` (E2E test targets), `uv.lock`, `CONTRIBUTING.md` & `README.md` (general information).
+
+## Notes
+
+- **Mypy is gradual**: strict only for `lerobot.envs`, `lerobot.configs`, `lerobot.optim`, `lerobot.model`, `lerobot.cameras`, `lerobot.motors`, `lerobot.transport`. Add type annotations when modifying these modules.
+- **Optional dependencies**: many policies, envs, and robots are behind extras (e.g., `lerobot[aloha]`). New imports for optional packages must be guarded or lazy. See `pyproject.toml [project.optional-dependencies]`.
+- **Video decoding**: datasets can store observations as video files. `LeRobotDataset` handles frame extraction, but tests need ffmpeg installed.
+- **Prioritize use of `uv run`** to execute Python commands (not raw `python` or `pip`).

+# AGENT_GUIDE.md — LeRobot Helper for AI Agents & Users
+
+This file is a practical, copy-paste-friendly companion for any AI agent (Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, etc.) helping a user work with LeRobot. It complements [`AGENTS.md`](./AGENTS.md) (dev/contributor context) with **user-facing guidance**: how to start, what to train, how long, how to record, and how to calibrate an SO-101.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Start here — ask the user first (MANDATORY)
+
+Before suggesting any command, an agent MUST ask the user at least these questions and wait for answers:
+
+1. **What's your goal?** (e.g. "teach my SO-101 to fold a cloth", "train a policy on an existing HF dataset", "contribute a PR", "understand the codebase")
+2. **What hardware do you have?**
+   - Robot: none / SO-100 / SO-101 / Koch / LeKiwi / Reachy / other
+   - Teleop: leader arm / phone / keyboard / gamepad / none
+   - Cameras: how many, resolution, fixed or moving?
+3. **What machine will you train on?**
+   - GPU model + VRAM (e.g. "laptop 3060 6 GB", "RTX 4090 24 GB", "A100 80 GB", "CPU only")
+   - OS: macOS / Linux / Windows
+4. **Skill level & time budget?** First time, some ML, experienced? Hours, days, a weekend?
+5. **Do you already have a dataset?** Yes (HF repo id?) / no / want to record one
+6. **How can I help right now?** (pick one concrete next step)
+
+Only after you have answers, propose a concrete path. If something is ambiguous, ask again rather than guessing. Bias toward **the simplest thing that works** for the user's hardware and goal.
+
+---
+
+## 2. LeRobot in 60 seconds
+
+LeRobot = **datasets + policies + envs + robot control**, unified by a small set of strong abstractions.
+
+- **`LeRobotDataset`** — episode-aware dataset (video or images + actions + state), loadable from the Hub or disk.
+- **Policies** (`ACT`, `Diffusion`, `SmolVLA`, `π0`, `π0.5`, `Wall-X`, `X-VLA`, `VQ-BeT`, `TD-MPC`, …) — all inherit `PreTrainedPolicy` and can be pushed/pulled from the Hub.
+- **Processors** — small composable transforms between dataset → policy → robot.
+- **Envs** (sim) and **Robots** (real) — same action/observation contract so code swaps cleanly.
+- **CLI** — `lerobot-record`, `lerobot-train`, `lerobot-eval`, `lerobot-teleoperate`, `lerobot-calibrate`, `lerobot-find-port`, `lerobot-setup-motors`, `lerobot-replay`.
+
+See [`AGENTS.md`](./AGENTS.md) for repo architecture.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Quickstart paths (pick one)
+
+### Path A — "I have an SO-101 and want my first trained policy"
+
+Go to §4 (SO-101 end-to-end), then §5 (data tips), then §6 (pick a policy — likely **ACT**), then §7 (how long), then §8 (eval).
+
+### Path B — "No hardware, I want to train on an existing dataset"
+
+Skip §4. Pick a policy in §6, pick a duration in §7, then run `lerobot-train` per §4.9 with a Hub `--dataset.repo_id` and an `--env.type` for eval. Finish with §8.
+
+### Path C — "I just want to understand the codebase"
+
+Read §2 above, then `AGENTS.md` "Architecture", then open `src/lerobot/policies/act/` and `src/lerobot/datasets/lerobot_dataset.py` as canonical examples.
+
+---
+
+## 4. SO-101 end-to-end cheat-sheet
+
+Full details in [`docs/source/so101.mdx`](./docs/source/so101.mdx) and [`docs/source/il_robots.mdx`](./docs/source/il_robots.mdx). Minimum commands in order. Confirm arms are assembled + powered before issuing.
+
+**4.1 Install**
+
+```bash
+pip install 'lerobot[feetech]'              # SO-100/SO-101 motor stack
+# pip install 'lerobot[all]'                # everything
+# pip install 'lerobot[aloha,pusht]'        # specific features
+# pip install 'lerobot[smolvla]'            # add SmolVLA deps
+git lfs install && git lfs pull
+hf auth login                               # required to push datasets/policies
+```
+
+Contributors can alternatively use `uv sync --locked --extra feetech` (see `AGENTS.md`).
+
+**4.2 Find USB ports** — run once per arm, unplug when prompted.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-find-port
+```
+
+macOS: `/dev/tty.usbmodem...`; Linux: `/dev/ttyACM0` (may need `sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyACM0`).
+
+**4.3 Setup motor IDs & baudrate** (one-time, per arm)
+
+```bash
+lerobot-setup-motors --robot.type=so101_follower --robot.port=<FOLLOWER_PORT>
+lerobot-setup-motors --teleop.type=so101_leader  --teleop.port=<LEADER_PORT>
+```
+
+**4.4 Calibrate** — center all joints, press Enter, sweep each joint through its full range. The `id` is the calibration key — reuse it everywhere.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-calibrate --robot.type=so101_follower --robot.port=<FOLLOWER_PORT> --robot.id=my_follower
+lerobot-calibrate --teleop.type=so101_leader  --teleop.port=<LEADER_PORT>   --teleop.id=my_leader
+```
+
+**4.5 Teleoperate** (sanity check, no recording)
+
+```bash
+lerobot-teleoperate \
+  --robot.type=so101_follower --robot.port=<FOLLOWER_PORT> --robot.id=my_follower \
+  --teleop.type=so101_leader  --teleop.port=<LEADER_PORT>  --teleop.id=my_leader \
+  --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
+  --display_data=true
+```
+
+> **Feetech timeout / comms error on SO-100 / SO-101?** Before touching software, check the **red motor LEDs** on the daisy chain.
+>
+> - **All steady red, gripper → base chain** → wiring OK.
+> - **One or more motors dark / chain stops mid-way** → wiring issue: reseat the 3-pin cables, check the controller-board power supply, and make sure each motor is fully clicked in.
+> - **LEDs blinking** → the motor is in an **error state**: usually overload (forcing a joint past its limit) **or wrong power supply voltage**. SO-100 / SO-101 ship in two variants — a **5 V / 7.4 V** build and a **12 V** build — they are NOT interchangeable. Using a 12 V PSU on a 5 V / 7.4 V arm (or vice-versa) will trip this error; confirm your motor variant before powering up.
+>
+> Most "timeout" errors are physical, not code.
+
+**4.6 Record a dataset** — keys: **→** next, **←** redo, **ESC** finish & upload.
+
+```bash
+HF_USER=$(NO_COLOR=1 hf auth whoami | awk -F': *' 'NR==1 {print $2}')
+
+lerobot-record \
+  --robot.type=so101_follower --robot.port=<FOLLOWER_PORT> --robot.id=my_follower \
+  --teleop.type=so101_leader  --teleop.port=<LEADER_PORT>  --teleop.id=my_leader \
+  --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
+  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_task \
+  --dataset.single_task="<describe the task in one sentence>" \
+  --dataset.num_episodes=50 \
+  --dataset.episode_time_s=30 \
+  --dataset.reset_time_s=10 \
+  --display_data=true
+```
+
+**4.7 Visualize** — **always** do this before training. Look for missing frames, camera blur, unreachable targets, inconsistent object positions.
+After upload: https://huggingface.co/spaces/lerobot/visualize_dataset → paste `${HF_USER}/my_task`. Works for **any LeRobot-formatted Hub dataset** — use it to scout other datasets, inspect episode quality, or debug your own data before retraining.
+
+**4.8 Replay an episode** (sanity check)
+
+```bash
+lerobot-replay --robot.type=so101_follower --robot.port=<FOLLOWER_PORT> --robot.id=my_follower \
+  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_task --dataset.episode=0
+```
+
+**4.9 Train** (default: ACT — fastest, lowest memory). Apple silicon: `--policy.device=mps`. No local GPU? Add `--job.target=<flavor>` (e.g. `a10g-small`, list them with `hf jobs hardware`) to run on Hugging Face Jobs instead. See §6/§7 for policy and duration.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_task \
+  --policy.type=act \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/act_my_task \
+  --job_name=act_my_task \
+  --batch_size=8 \
+  --wandb.enable=true \
+  --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/act_my_task
+```
+
+**4.10 Evaluate on the real robot** — compare success rate to a teleoperated baseline.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-record \
+  --robot.type=so101_follower --robot.port=<FOLLOWER_PORT> --robot.id=my_follower \
+  --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
+  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/eval_my_task \
+  --dataset.single_task="<same task description as training>" \
+  --dataset.num_episodes=10 \
+  --policy.path=${HF_USER}/act_my_task
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Data collection tips (beginner → reliable policy)
+
+Good data beats clever models. Adopt these defaults and deviate only with evidence.
+
+### 5.1 Setup & ergonomics
+
+- **Fix the rig and cameras** before touching the software. If the rig vibrates or the operator gets frustrated, fix that first — more bad data won't help.
+- **Lighting matters more than resolution.** Diffuse, consistent light. Avoid moving shadows.
+- **"Can you do the task from the camera view alone?"** If no, your cameras are wrong. Fix before recording.
+- Enable **action interpolation** for rollouts when available for smoother trajectories.
+
+### 5.2 Practice before you record
+
+- Do 5–10 demos without recording. Build a deliberate, repeatable strategy.
+- Hesitant or inconsistent demos teach the model hesitation.
+
+### 5.3 Quality over speed
+
+Deliberate, high-quality execution beats fast sloppy runs. Optimize for speed only **after** strategy is dialed in — never trade quality for it.
+
+### 5.4 Consistency within and across episodes
+
+Same grasp, approach vector, and timing. Coherent strategies are much easier to learn than wildly varying movements.
+
+### 5.5 Start small, then extend (the golden rule)
+
+- **First 50 episodes = constrained version** of the task: one object, fixed position, fixed camera setup, one operator.
+- Train a quick ACT model. See what fails.
+- **Then add diversity** along one axis at a time: more positions → more lighting → more objects → more operators.
+- Don't try to collect the "perfect dataset" on day one. Iterate.
+
+### 5.6 Policy choice for beginners
+
+- **Laptop / first time / want results fast → ACT.** Works surprisingly well, trains fast even on a laptop GPU.
+- **Bigger GPU / language-conditioned / multi-task → SmolVLA.** Unfreezing the vision encoder (see §7) is a big win here.
+- Defer π0 / π0.5 / Wall-X / X-VLA until you have a proven ACT baseline and a 20+ GB GPU.
+
+### 5.7 Recommended defaults for your first task
+
+| Setting          | Value                                                                                                                                                 |
+| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Episodes         | **50** to start, scale to 100–300 after first training                                                                                                |
+| Episode length   | 20–45 s (shorter is fine for grasp/place)                                                                                                             |
+| Reset time       | 10 s                                                                                                                                                  |
+| FPS              | 30                                                                                                                                                    |
+| Cameras          | **2 cameras recommended**: 1 fixed front + 1 wrist. Multi-view often outperforms single-view. A single fixed camera also works to keep things simple. |
+| Task description | Short, specific, action-phrased sentence                                                                                                              |
+
+### 5.8 Troubleshooting signal
+
+- Policy fails at one specific stage → record 10–20 more episodes **targeting that stage**.
+- Policy flaps / oscillates → likely inconsistent demos, or need more training; re-record worst episodes (use **←** to redo).
+- Policy ignores the object → camera framing or lighting issue, not a model issue.

+
+## 6. Which policy should I train?
+
+Match the policy to the user's **GPU memory** and **time budget**. Numbers below come from an internal profiling run (one training update per policy). They are **indicative only** — see caveats.
+
+### 6.1 Profiling snapshot (indicative)
+
+All policies typically train for **5–10 epochs** (see §7).
+
+> **Human-facing version:** the [Compute Hardware Guide](./docs/source/hardware_guide.mdx) reuses the table below and adds a cloud-GPU tier guide and a Hugging Face Jobs pointer.
+
+| Policy      | Batch | Update (ms) | Peak GPU mem (GB) | Best for                                                                                         |
+| ----------- | ----: | ----------: | ----------------: | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `act`       |     4 |    **83.9** |          **0.94** | First-time users, laptops, single-task. Fast and reliable.                                       |
+| `diffusion` |     4 |       168.6 |              4.94 | Multi-modal action distributions; needs mid-range GPU.                                           |
+| `smolvla`   |     1 |       357.8 |              3.93 | Language-conditioned, multi-task, small VLA. **Unfreeze vision encoder for big gains** (see §7). |
+| `xvla`      |     1 |       731.6 |             15.52 | Large VLA, multi-task.                                                                           |
+| `wall_x`    |     1 |       716.5 |             15.95 | Large VLA with world-model objective.                                                            |
+| `pi0`       |     1 |       940.3 |             15.50 | Strong large VLA baseline (Physical Intelligence).                                               |
+| `pi05`      |     1 |      1055.8 |             16.35 | Newer π policy; similar footprint to `pi0`.                                                      |
+
+**Critical caveats:**
+
+- **Optimizer:** measured with **SGD**. LeRobot's default is **AdamW**, which keeps extra optimizer state → **peak memory will be noticeably higher** with the default, especially for `pi0`, `pi05`, `wall_x`, `xvla`.
+- **Batch size:** the large policies were profiled at batch 1. In practice use a **larger batch** for stable training (see §7.4). Memory scales roughly linearly with batch.
+
+### 6.2 Decision rules
+
+- **< 8 GB VRAM (laptop, 3060, M-series Mac):** → `act`. Maybe `diffusion` if you have ~6–8 GB free.
+- **12–16 GB VRAM (4070/4080, A4000):** → `smolvla` with defaults, or `act`/`diffusion` with larger batch. `pi0`/`pi05`/`wall_x`/`xvla` feasible only with small batch + gradient accumulation.
+- **24+ GB VRAM (3090/4090/A5000):** → any policy. Prefer `smolvla` (unfrozen) for multi-task; `act` for single-task grasp-and-place (still often the best ROI). Could experiment with `pi0` or `pi05` or `xvla`
+- **80 GB (A100/H100):** → any, with healthy batch. `pi05`, `xvla`, `wall_x` become comfortable.
+- **CPU only:** → don't train here. Use Google Colab (see [`docs/source/notebooks.mdx`](./docs/source/notebooks.mdx)) or a rented GPU.
+
+---
+
+## 7. How long should I train?
+
+Robotics imitation learning usually converges in a **few epochs over the dataset**, not hundreds of thousands of raw steps. Think **epochs first**, then translate to steps.
+
+### 7.1 Rule of thumb
+
+- **Typical total: 5–10 epochs.** Start at 5, eval, then decide if more helps.
+- Very small datasets (< 30 episodes) may want slightly more epochs — but first, **collect more data**.
+- VLAs with a pretrained vision backbone typically need **fewer** epochs than training from scratch.
+
+### 7.2 Steps ↔ epochs conversion
+
+```
+total_frames     = sum of frames over all episodes      # e.g. 50 eps × 30 fps × 30 s ≈ 45,000
+steps_per_epoch  = ceil(total_frames / batch_size)
+total_steps      = epochs × steps_per_epoch
+```
+
+Examples for `--batch_size=8`:
+
+| Dataset size            |  Frames | Steps / epoch | 5 epochs | 10 epochs |
+| ----------------------- | ------: | ------------: | -------: | --------: |
+| 50 eps × 30 s @ 30 fps  |  45,000 |        ~5,625 |      28k |       56k |
+| 100 eps × 30 s @ 30 fps |  90,000 |       ~11,250 |      56k |      113k |
+| 300 eps × 30 s @ 30 fps | 270,000 |       ~33,750 |     169k |      338k |
+
+Pass the resulting total with `--steps=<N>`; eval at intermediate checkpoints (`outputs/train/.../checkpoints/`).
+
+### 7.3 Per-policy starting points (single-task, ~50 episodes)
+
+| Policy         | Batch | Steps (first run) | Notes                                                             |
+| -------------- | ----: | ----------------: | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `act`          |  8–16 |           30k–80k | Usually converges under 50k for single-task.                      |
+| `diffusion`    |  8–16 |          80k–150k | Benefits from longer training than ACT.                           |
+| `smolvla`      |   4–8 |           30k–80k | Pretrained VLM → converges fast.                                  |
+| `pi0` / `pi05` |   1–4 |           30k–80k | Memory-bound; use gradient accumulation for effective batch ≥ 16! |
+
+### 7.4 Batch size guidance
+
+- **Bigger batch is preferable** for stable gradients on teleop data.
+- If GPU memory is the bottleneck, use **gradient accumulation** to raise _effective_ batch without raising peak memory.
+- Scale **learning rate** gently with batch; most LeRobot defaults work fine for a 2–4× batch change.
+
+### 7.5 Scale LR schedule & checkpoints with `--steps`
+
+LeRobot's default schedulers (e.g. SmolVLA's cosine decay) use `scheduler_decay_steps=30_000`, which is sized for long training runs. When you shorten training (e.g. 5k–10k steps on a small dataset), **scale the scheduler down to match** — otherwise the LR stays near the peak and never decays. Same for checkpoint frequency.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train ... \
+  --steps=5000 \
+  --policy.scheduler_decay_steps=5000 \
+  --save_freq=5000
+```
+
+Rule of thumb: set `scheduler_decay_steps ≈ steps`, and `save_freq` to whatever granularity you want for eval (e.g. every 1k–5k steps). Match `scheduler_warmup_steps` proportionally if your run is very short.
+
+### 7.6 SmolVLA: unfreeze the vision encoder for real gains
+
+SmolVLA ships with `freeze_vision_encoder=True`. Unfreezing usually **improves performance substantially** on specialized tasks, at the cost of more VRAM and slower steps. Enable with:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train ... --policy.type=smolvla \
+  --policy.freeze_vision_encoder=false \
+  --policy.train_expert_only=false
+```
+
+### 7.7 Signals to stop / keep going
+
+- Train loss plateaus → stop, save a Hub checkpoint.
+- Train loss still dropping and you're under 10 epochs → keep going.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Evaluation & benchmarks
+
+Two flavors of evaluation:
+
+### 8.1 Real-robot eval (SO-101, etc.)
+
+Reuse `lerobot-record` with `--policy.path` to run the trained policy on-robot and save the run as an eval dataset. Convention: prefix the dataset with `eval_`.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-record \
+  --robot.type=so101_follower --robot.port=<FOLLOWER_PORT> --robot.id=my_follower \
+  --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
+  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/eval_my_task \
+  --dataset.single_task="<same task description used during training>" \
+  --dataset.num_episodes=10 \
+  --policy.path=${HF_USER}/act_my_task
+```
+
+Report success rate across episodes. Compare to a teleoperated baseline and to an earlier checkpoint to catch regressions.
+
+### 8.2 Sim-benchmark eval
+
+For policies trained on sim datasets (PushT, Aloha, LIBERO, MetaWorld, RoboCasa, …) use `lerobot-eval` against the matching `env.type`:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=${HF_USER}/diffusion_pusht \
+  --env.type=pusht \
+  --eval.n_episodes=50 \
+  --eval.batch_size=10 \
+  --policy.device=cuda
+```
+
+- Use `--policy.path=outputs/train/.../checkpoints/<step>/pretrained_model` for local checkpoints.
+- `--eval.n_episodes` should be ≥ 50 for a stable success-rate estimate.
+- Available envs live in `src/lerobot/envs/`. See [`docs/source/libero.mdx`](./docs/source/libero.mdx), [`metaworld.mdx`](./docs/source/metaworld.mdx), [`robocasa.mdx`](./docs/source/robocasa.mdx), [`vlabench.mdx`](./docs/source/vlabench.mdx) for specific benchmarks.
+- To add a new benchmark, see [`docs/source/adding_benchmarks.mdx`](./docs/source/adding_benchmarks.mdx) and [`envhub.mdx`](./docs/source/envhub.mdx).
+
+### 8.2b Dockerfiles for benchmark eval
+
+Benchmark envs have native dependencies that are painful to install locally. The repo ships **pre-baked Dockerfiles** for each supported benchmark — use these to run `lerobot-eval` in a reproducible environment:
+
+| Benchmark   | Dockerfile                                                                             |
+| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| LIBERO      | [`docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.libero`](./docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.libero)           |
+| LIBERO+     | [`docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.libero_plus`](./docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.libero_plus) |
+| MetaWorld   | [`docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.metaworld`](./docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.metaworld)     |
+| RoboCasa    | [`docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.robocasa`](./docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.robocasa)       |
+| RoboCerebra | [`docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.robocerebra`](./docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.robocerebra) |
+| RoboMME     | [`docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.robomme`](./docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.robomme)         |
+| RoboTwin    | [`docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.robotwin`](./docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.robotwin)       |
+| VLABench    | [`docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.vlabench`](./docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.vlabench)       |
+
+Build and run (adapt to your benchmark):
+
+```bash
+docker build -f docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.robomme -t lerobot-bench-robomme .
+docker run --gpus all --rm -it \
+  -v $HOME/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
+  lerobot-bench-robomme \
+  lerobot-eval --policy.path=<your_policy> --env.type=<env> --eval.n_episodes=50
+```
+
+See [`docker/README.md`](./docker/README.md) for base-image details.
+
+### 8.3 Target success rates
+
+Single-task grasp-and-place with 50 clean episodes: ACT should reach **> 70% success** on the training configuration. Less → data problem (see §5), not model problem. Expect a drop when generalizing to new positions — scale episodes or diversity to recover.

+# AI Usage Policy
+
+The LeRobot project welcomes contributions from everyone, and we have a few guidelines regarding AI usage to ensure high code quality, clear communication, and a healthy open-source ecosystem:
+
+- **Please disclose significant AI assistance.** If you used AI tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT) to generate a substantial portion of your code or text, let us know in your PR description. Transparency helps us review your changes more effectively.
+- **Own your code (The Human-in-the-Loop).** You must fully understand all the changes you are proposing. If you cannot explain what your AI-assisted code does or how it interacts with LeRobot's broader architecture, please take the time to learn and test it before submitting.
+- **Keep issues and discussions focused.** You are welcome to use AI to help draft issues or PR descriptions, but please review and edit them carefully before posting. AI can often be overly verbose; trimming the noise and getting straight to the point helps our maintainers address your needs faster.
+
+Our core maintainers also use AI tools to aid their workflows, but they do so while bringing deep contextual knowledge of the LeRobot codebase to validate the output. We ask all contributors to apply that same level of rigor.
+
+## Remember the Human Maintainers
+
+Please remember that LeRobot is maintained by a dedicated team of humans.
+
+Every discussion, issue, and pull request is read and reviewed by real people. While AI tools can generate thousands of lines of code in seconds, reviewing that code still takes human time and energy. Submitting unverified or low-effort AI output puts an unfair burden on our maintainers.
+
+Today, the quality of the AI output still heavily depends on the developer driving the tool. We ask that you respect our maintainers' time by thoroughly vetting, testing, and refining your submissions.
+
+## AI is Welcome Here
+
+LeRobot operates at the cutting edge of AI and robotics, and many of our maintainers actively embrace AI coding assistants as valuable productivity tools. We are a pro-AI project!
+
+Our reason for having an AI policy is not an anti-AI stance. Rather, it exists to ensure that AI is used to enhance human contributions, not replace them with unverified noise. It's about how the tools are used, not the tools themselves.
+
+We value the unique human insight you bring to the LeRobot community. Let AI empower your workflow, but always let your own judgment take the wheel.

+## Development Setup
 
-If you are not sure how to contribute or want to know the next features we working on, look on this project page: [LeRobot TODO](https://github.com/orgs/huggingface/projects/46)
+To contribute code, you need to set up a development environment.
 
-## Submitting a new issue or feature request
+### 1. Fork and Clone
 
-Do your best to follow these guidelines when submitting an issue or a feature
-request. It will make it easier for us to come back to you quickly and with good
-feedback.
-
-### Did you find a bug?
-
-The 🤗 LeRobot library is robust and reliable thanks to the users who notify us of
-the problems they encounter. So thank you for reporting an issue.
-
-First, we would really appreciate it if you could **make sure the bug was not
-already reported** (use the search bar on Github under Issues).
-
-Did not find it? :( So we can act quickly on it, please follow these steps:
-
-- Include your **OS type and version**, the versions of **Python** and **PyTorch**.
-- A short, self-contained, code snippet that allows us to reproduce the bug in
-  less than 30s.
-- The full traceback if an exception is raised.
-- Attach any other additional information, like screenshots, you think may help.
-
-### Do you want a new feature?
-
-A good feature request addresses the following points:
-
-1. Motivation first:
-
-- Is it related to a problem/frustration with the library? If so, please explain
-  why. Providing a code snippet that demonstrates the problem is best.
-- Is it related to something you would need for a project? We'd love to hear
-  about it!
-- Is it something you worked on and think could benefit the community?
-  Awesome! Tell us what problem it solved for you.
-
-2. Write a _paragraph_ describing the feature.
-3. Provide a **code snippet** that demonstrates its future use.
-4. In case this is related to a paper, please attach a link.
-5. Attach any additional information (drawings, screenshots, etc.) you think may help.
-
-If your issue is well written we're already 80% of the way there by the time you
-post it.
-
-## Adding new policies, datasets or environments
-
-Look at our implementations for [datasets](./src/lerobot/datasets/), [policies](./src/lerobot/policies/),
-environments ([aloha](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-aloha),
-[xarm](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-xarm),
-[pusht](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-pusht))
-and follow the same api design.
-
-When implementing a new dataset loadable with LeRobotDataset follow these steps:
-
-- Update `available_datasets_per_env` in `lerobot/__init__.py`
-
-When implementing a new environment (e.g. `gym_aloha`), follow these steps:
-
-- Update `available_tasks_per_env` and `available_datasets_per_env` in `lerobot/__init__.py`
-
-When implementing a new policy class (e.g. `DiffusionPolicy`) follow these steps:
-
-- Update `available_policies` and `available_policies_per_env`, in `lerobot/__init__.py`
-- Set the required `name` class attribute.
-- Update variables in `tests/test_available.py` by importing your new Policy class
-
-## Submitting a pull request (PR)
-
-Before writing code, we strongly advise you to search through the existing PRs or
-issues to make sure that nobody is already working on the same thing. If you are
-unsure, it is always a good idea to open an issue to get some feedback.
-
-You will need basic `git` proficiency to be able to contribute to
-🤗 LeRobot. `git` is not the easiest tool to use but it has the greatest
-manual. Type `git --help` in a shell and enjoy. If you prefer books, [Pro
-Git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2) is a very good reference.
-
-Follow these steps to start contributing:
-
-1. Fork the [repository](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot) by
-   clicking on the 'Fork' button on the repository's page. This creates a copy of the code
-   under your GitHub user account.
-
-2. Clone your fork to your local disk, and add the base repository as a remote. The following command
-   assumes you have your public SSH key uploaded to GitHub. See the following guide for more
-   [information](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/cloning-a-repository).
-
-   ```bash
-   git clone git@github.com:<your Github handle>/lerobot.git
-   cd lerobot
-   git remote add upstream https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git
-   ```
-
-3. Create a new branch to hold your development changes, and do this for every new PR you work on.
-
-   Start by synchronizing your `main` branch with the `upstream/main` branch (more details in the [GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/syncing-a-fork)):
-
-   ```bash
-   git checkout main
-   git fetch upstream
-   git rebase upstream/main
-   ```
-
-   Once your `main` branch is synchronized, create a new branch from it:
-
-   ```bash
-   git checkout -b a-descriptive-name-for-my-changes
-   ```
-
-   🚨 **Do not** work on the `main` branch.
-
-4. for development, we advise to use a tool like `poetry` or `uv` instead of just `pip` to easily track our dependencies.
-   Follow the instructions to [install poetry](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation) (use a version >=2.1.0) or to [install uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/#installation-methods) if you don't have one of them already.
-
-   Set up a development environment with conda or miniconda:
-
-   ```bash
-   conda create -y -n lerobot-dev python=3.10 && conda activate lerobot-dev
-   ```
-
-   If you're using `uv`, it can manage python versions so you can instead do:
-
-   ```bash
-   uv venv --python 3.10 && source .venv/bin/activate
-   ```
-
-   To develop on 🤗 LeRobot, you will at least need to install the `dev` and `test` extras dependencies along with the core library:
-
-   using `poetry`
-
-   ```bash
-   poetry sync --extras "dev test"
-   ```
-
-   using `uv`
-
-   ```bash
-   uv sync --extra dev --extra test
-   ```
-
-   You can also install the project with all its dependencies (including environments):
-
-   using `poetry`
-
-   ```bash
-   poetry sync --all-extras
-   ```
-
-   using `uv`
-
-   ```bash
-   uv sync --all-extras
-   ```
-
-   > **Note:** If you don't install simulation environments with `--all-extras`, the tests that require them will be skipped when running the pytest suite locally. However, they _will_ be tested in the CI. In general, we advise you to install everything and test locally before pushing.
-
-   Whichever command you chose to install the project (e.g. `poetry sync --all-extras`), you should run it again when pulling code with an updated version of `pyproject.toml` and `poetry.lock` in order to synchronize your virtual environment with the new dependencies.
-
-   The equivalent of `pip install some-package`, would just be:
-
-   using `poetry`
-
-   ```bash
-   poetry add some-package
-   ```
-
-   using `uv`
-
-   ```bash
-   uv add some-package
-   ```
-
-   When making changes to the poetry sections of the `pyproject.toml`, you should run the following command to lock dependencies.
-   using `poetry`
-
-   ```bash
-   poetry lock
-   ```
-
-   using `uv`
-
-   ```bash
-   uv lock
-   ```
-
-5. Develop the features on your branch.
-
-   As you work on the features, you should make sure that the test suite
-   passes. You should run the tests impacted by your changes like this (see
-   below an explanation regarding the environment variable):
-
-   ```bash
-   pytest tests/<TEST_TO_RUN>.py
-   ```
-
-6. Follow our style.
-
-   `lerobot` relies on `ruff` to format its source code
-   consistently. Set up [`pre-commit`](https://pre-commit.com/) to run these checks
-   automatically as Git commit hooks.
-
-   Install `pre-commit` hooks:
-
-   ```bash
-   pre-commit install
-   ```
-
-   You can run these hooks whenever you need on staged files with:
-
-   ```bash
-   pre-commit
-   ```
-
-   Once you're happy with your changes, add changed files using `git add` and
-   make a commit with `git commit` to record your changes locally:
-
-   ```bash
-   git add modified_file.py
-   git commit
-   ```
-
-   Note, if you already committed some changes that have a wrong formatting, you can use:
-
-   ```bash
-   pre-commit run --all-files
-   ```
-
-   Please write [good commit messages](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/).
-
-   It is a good idea to sync your copy of the code with the original
-   repository regularly. This way you can quickly account for changes:
-
-   ```bash
-   git fetch upstream
-   git rebase upstream/main
-   ```
-
-   Push the changes to your account using:
-
-   ```bash
-   git push -u origin a-descriptive-name-for-my-changes
-   ```
-
-7. Once you are satisfied (**and the checklist below is happy too**), go to the
-   webpage of your fork on GitHub. Click on 'Pull request' to send your changes
-   to the project maintainers for review.
-
-8. It's ok if maintainers ask you for changes. It happens to core contributors
-   too! So everyone can see the changes in the Pull request, work in your local
-   branch and push the changes to your fork. They will automatically appear in
-   the pull request.
-
-### Checklist
-
-1. The title of your pull request should be a summary of its contribution;
-2. If your pull request addresses an issue, please mention the issue number in
-   the pull request description to make sure they are linked (and people
-   consulting the issue know you are working on it);
-3. To indicate a work in progress please prefix the title with `[WIP]`, or preferably mark
-   the PR as a draft PR. These are useful to avoid duplicated work, and to differentiate
-   it from PRs ready to be merged;
-4. Make sure existing tests pass;
-
-### Tests
-
-An extensive test suite is included to test the library behavior and several examples. Library tests can be found in the [tests folder](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/tree/main/tests).
-
-Install [git lfs](https://git-lfs.com/) to retrieve test artifacts (if you don't have it already).
-
-On Mac:
+Fork the repository on GitHub, then clone your fork:
 
 ```bash
-brew install git-lfs
-git lfs install
+git clone https://github.com/<your-handle>/lerobot.git
+cd lerobot
+git remote add upstream https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git
 ```
 
-On Ubuntu:
+### 2. Environment Installation
+
+Please follow our [Installation Guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/installation) for the environment setup & installation from source.
+
+## Running Tests & Quality Checks
+
+### Code Style (Pre-commit)
+
+Install `pre-commit` hooks to run checks automatically before you commit:
 
 ```bash
-sudo apt-get install git-lfs
-git lfs install
+pre-commit install
 ```
 
-Pull artifacts if they're not in [tests/artifacts](tests/artifacts)
+To run checks manually on all files:
 
 ```bash
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+
+### Running Tests
+
+We use `pytest`. First, ensure you have test artifacts by installing **git-lfs**:

-We use `pytest` in order to run the tests. From the root of the
-repository, here's how to run tests with `pytest` for the library:
+Run the full suite (this may require extras installed):
 
 ```bash
-python -m pytest -sv ./tests
+pytest -sv ./tests
 ```
 
-You can specify a smaller set of tests in order to test only the feature
-you're working on.
+Or run a specific test file during development:
+
+```bash
+pytest -sv tests/test_specific_feature.py

-## Installation
-
-LeRobot works with Python 3.10+ and PyTorch 2.2+.
-
-### Environment Setup
-
-Create a virtual environment with Python 3.10 and activate it, e.g. with [`miniconda`](https://docs.anaconda.com/free/miniconda/index.html):
-
-```bash
-conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.10
-conda activate lerobot
-```
-
-When using `miniconda`, install `ffmpeg` in your environment:
-
-```bash
-conda install ffmpeg -c conda-forge
-```
-
-> **NOTE:** This usually installs `ffmpeg 7.X` for your platform compiled with the `libsvtav1` encoder. If `libsvtav1` is not supported (check supported encoders with `ffmpeg -encoders`), you can:
->
-> - _[On any platform]_ Explicitly install `ffmpeg 7.X` using:
->
-> ```bash
-> conda install ffmpeg=7.1.1 -c conda-forge
-> ```
->
-> - _[On Linux only]_ Install [ffmpeg build dependencies](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu#GettheDependencies) and [compile ffmpeg from source with libsvtav1](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu#libsvtav1), and make sure you use the corresponding ffmpeg binary to your install with `which ffmpeg`.
-
-### Install LeRobot 🤗
-
-#### From Source
-
-First, clone the repository and navigate into the directory:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git
-cd lerobot
-```
-
-Then, install the library in editable mode. This is useful if you plan to contribute to the code.
-
-```bash
-pip install -e .
-```
-
-> **NOTE:** If you encounter build errors, you may need to install additional dependencies (`cmake`, `build-essential`, and `ffmpeg libs`). On Linux, run:
-> `sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential python3-dev pkg-config libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev libavdevice-dev libavutil-dev libswscale-dev libswresample-dev libavfilter-dev`. For other systems, see: [Compiling PyAV](https://pyav.org/docs/develop/overview/installation.html#bring-your-own-ffmpeg)

+## Robots & Control
+
+<div align="center">
+  <img src="./media/readme/robots_control_video.webp" width="640px" alt="Reachy 2 Demo">
+</div>
+
+LeRobot provides a unified `Robot` class interface that decouples control logic from hardware specifics. It supports a wide range of robots and teleoperation devices.
+
+```python
+from lerobot.robots.myrobot import MyRobot
+
+# Connect to a robot
+robot = MyRobot(config=...)
+robot.connect()
+
+# Read observation and send action
+obs = robot.get_observation()
+action = model.select_action(obs)
+robot.send_action(action)
+```
+
+**Supported Hardware:** SO100, LeKiwi, Koch, HopeJR, OMX, EarthRover, Reachy2, Gamepads, Keyboards, Phones, OpenARM, Unitree G1, reBot B601.
+
+While these devices are natively integrated into the LeRobot codebase, the library is designed to be extensible. You can easily implement the Robot interface to utilize LeRobot's data collection, training, and visualization tools for your own custom robot.
+
+For detailed hardware setup guides, see the [Hardware Documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/integrate_hardware).
+
+## LeRobot Dataset
+
+To solve the data fragmentation problem in robotics, we utilize the **LeRobotDataset** format.
+
+- **Structure:** Synchronized MP4 videos (or images) for vision and Parquet files for state/action data.
+- **HF Hub Integration:** Explore thousands of robotics datasets on the [Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.co/lerobot).
+- **Tools:** Seamlessly delete episodes, split by indices/fractions, add/remove features, and merge multiple datasets.
+
+```python
+from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
+
+# Load a dataset from the Hub
+dataset = LeRobotDataset("lerobot/aloha_mobile_cabinet")
+
+# Access data (automatically handles video decoding)
+episode_index=0
+print(f"{dataset[episode_index]['action'].shape=}\n")
+```
+
+Learn more about it in the [LeRobotDataset Documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/lerobot-dataset-v3)
+
+## SoTA Models
+
+LeRobot implements state-of-the-art policies in pure PyTorch, covering Imitation Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, World Models, and Reward Models, with more coming soon. It also provides you with the tools to instrument and inspect your training process.
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img alt="Gr00t Architecture" src="./media/readme/VLA_architecture.jpg" width="640px">
+</p>
+
+Training a policy is as simple as running a script configuration:
 
 ```bash
-pip install 'lerobot[all]'          # All available features
-pip install 'lerobot[aloha,pusht]'  # Specific features (Aloha & Pusht)
-pip install 'lerobot[feetech]'      # Feetech motor support
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.type=act \
+  --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/aloha_mobile_cabinet
 ```
 
-_Replace `[...]` with your desired features._

+Similarly to the hardware, you can easily implement your own policy & leverage LeRobot's data collection, training, and visualization tools, and share your model to the HF Hub
 
-### Weights & Biases
+For detailed policy setup guides, see the [Policy Documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/bring_your_own_policies). For GPU/RAM requirements and expected training time per policy, see the [Compute Hardware Guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/hardware_guide).
 
-To use [Weights and Biases](https://docs.wandb.ai/quickstart) for experiment tracking, log in with
-
-```bash
-wandb login
-```
-
-(note: you will also need to enable WandB in the configuration. See below.)
-
-### Visualize datasets
-
-Check out [example 1](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/1_load_lerobot_dataset.py) that illustrates how to use our dataset class which automatically downloads data from the Hugging Face hub.
-
-You can also locally visualize episodes from a dataset on the hub by executing our script from the command line:
-
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.scripts.visualize_dataset \
-    --repo-id lerobot/pusht \
-    --episode-index 0
-```
-
-or from a dataset in a local folder with the `root` option and the `--local-files-only` (in the following case the dataset will be searched for in `./my_local_data_dir/lerobot/pusht`)
-
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.scripts.visualize_dataset \
-    --repo-id lerobot/pusht \
-    --root ./my_local_data_dir \
-    --local-files-only 1 \
-    --episode-index 0

-Our script can also visualize datasets stored on a distant server. See `python -m lerobot.scripts.visualize_dataset --help` for more instructions.
-
-### The `LeRobotDataset` format
-
-A dataset in `LeRobotDataset` format is very simple to use. It can be loaded from a repository on the Hugging Face hub or a local folder simply with e.g. `dataset = LeRobotDataset("lerobot/aloha_static_coffee")` and can be indexed into like any Hugging Face and PyTorch dataset. For instance `dataset[0]` will retrieve a single temporal frame from the dataset containing observation(s) and an action as PyTorch tensors ready to be fed to a model.
-
-A specificity of `LeRobotDataset` is that, rather than retrieving a single frame by its index, we can retrieve several frames based on their temporal relationship with the indexed frame, by setting `delta_timestamps` to a list of relative times with respect to the indexed frame. For example, with `delta_timestamps = {"observation.image": [-1, -0.5, -0.2, 0]}` one can retrieve, for a given index, 4 frames: 3 "previous" frames 1 second, 0.5 seconds, and 0.2 seconds before the indexed frame, and the indexed frame itself (corresponding to the 0 entry). See example [1_load_lerobot_dataset.py](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/1_load_lerobot_dataset.py) for more details on `delta_timestamps`.
-
-Under the hood, the `LeRobotDataset` format makes use of several ways to serialize data which can be useful to understand if you plan to work more closely with this format. We tried to make a flexible yet simple dataset format that would cover most type of features and specificities present in reinforcement learning and robotics, in simulation and in real-world, with a focus on cameras and robot states but easily extended to other types of sensory inputs as long as they can be represented by a tensor.
-
-Here are the important details and internal structure organization of a typical `LeRobotDataset` instantiated with `dataset = LeRobotDataset("lerobot/aloha_static_coffee")`. The exact features will change from dataset to dataset but not the main aspects:
-
-```
-dataset attributes:
-  ├ hf_dataset: a Hugging Face dataset (backed by Arrow/parquet). Typical features example:
-  │  ├ observation.images.cam_high (VideoFrame):
-  │  │   VideoFrame = {'path': path to a mp4 video, 'timestamp' (float32): timestamp in the video}
-  │  ├ observation.state (list of float32): position of an arm joints (for instance)
-  │  ... (more observations)
-  │  ├ action (list of float32): goal position of an arm joints (for instance)
-  │  ├ episode_index (int64): index of the episode for this sample
-  │  ├ frame_index (int64): index of the frame for this sample in the episode ; starts at 0 for each episode
-  │  ├ timestamp (float32): timestamp in the episode
-  │  ├ next.done (bool): indicates the end of an episode ; True for the last frame in each episode
-  │  └ index (int64): general index in the whole dataset
-  ├ episode_data_index: contains 2 tensors with the start and end indices of each episode
-  │  ├ from (1D int64 tensor): first frame index for each episode — shape (num episodes,) starts with 0
-  │  └ to: (1D int64 tensor): last frame index for each episode — shape (num episodes,)
-  ├ stats: a dictionary of statistics (max, mean, min, std) for each feature in the dataset, for instance
-  │  ├ observation.images.cam_high: {'max': tensor with same number of dimensions (e.g. `(c, 1, 1)` for images, `(c,)` for states), etc.}
-  │  ...
-  ├ info: a dictionary of metadata on the dataset
-  │  ├ codebase_version (str): this is to keep track of the codebase version the dataset was created with
-  │  ├ fps (float): frame per second the dataset is recorded/synchronized to
-  │  ├ video (bool): indicates if frames are encoded in mp4 video files to save space or stored as png files
-  │  └ encoding (dict): if video, this documents the main options that were used with ffmpeg to encode the videos
-  ├ videos_dir (Path): where the mp4 videos or png images are stored/accessed
-  └ camera_keys (list of string): the keys to access camera features in the item returned by the dataset (e.g. `["observation.images.cam_high", ...]`)
-```
-
-A `LeRobotDataset` is serialised using several widespread file formats for each of its parts, namely:
-
-- hf_dataset stored using Hugging Face datasets library serialization to parquet
-- videos are stored in mp4 format to save space
-- metadata are stored in plain json/jsonl files
-
-Dataset can be uploaded/downloaded from the HuggingFace hub seamlessly. To work on a local dataset, you can specify its location with the `root` argument if it's not in the default `~/.cache/huggingface/lerobot` location.
-
-### Evaluate a pretrained policy
-
-Check out [example 2](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/2_evaluate_pretrained_policy.py) that illustrates how to download a pretrained policy from Hugging Face hub, and run an evaluation on its corresponding environment.
-
-We also provide a more capable script to parallelize the evaluation over multiple environments during the same rollout. Here is an example with a pretrained model hosted on [lerobot/diffusion_pusht](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/diffusion_pusht):
+## Inference & Evaluation
+
+Evaluate your policies in simulation or on real hardware using the unified evaluation script. LeRobot supports standard benchmarks like **LIBERO**, **MetaWorld** and more to come.
 
 ```bash
+# Evaluate a policy on the LIBERO benchmark
 lerobot-eval \
-    --policy.path=lerobot/diffusion_pusht \
-    --env.type=pusht \
-    --eval.batch_size=10 \
-    --eval.n_episodes=10 \
-    --policy.use_amp=false \
-    --policy.device=cuda
+  --policy.path=lerobot/pi0_libero_finetuned \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  --env.task=libero_object \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10
 ```
 
-Note: After training your own policy, you can re-evaluate the checkpoints with:
+Learn how to implement your own simulation environment or benchmark and distribute it from the HF Hub by following the [EnvHub Documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/envhub)
 
-```bash
-lerobot-eval --policy.path={OUTPUT_DIR}/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
-```
+## Resources
 
-See `lerobot-eval --help` for more instructions.
-
-### Train your own policy
-
-Check out [example 3](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/3_train_policy.py) that illustrates how to train a model using our core library in python, and [example 4](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/4_train_policy_with_script.md) that shows how to use our training script from command line.
-
-To use wandb for logging training and evaluation curves, make sure you've run `wandb login` as a one-time setup step. Then, when running the training command above, enable WandB in the configuration by adding `--wandb.enable=true`.
-
-A link to the wandb logs for the run will also show up in yellow in your terminal. Here is an example of what they look like in your browser. Please also check [here](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/4_train_policy_with_script.md#typical-logs-and-metrics) for the explanation of some commonly used metrics in logs.
-
-\<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huggingface/lerobot/main/media/wandb.png" alt="WandB logs example"\>
-
-Note: For efficiency, during training every checkpoint is evaluated on a low number of episodes. You may use `--eval.n_episodes=500` to evaluate on more episodes than the default. Or, after training, you may want to re-evaluate your best checkpoints on more episodes or change the evaluation settings. See `lerobot-eval --help` for more instructions.
-
-#### Reproduce state-of-the-art (SOTA)
-
-We provide some pretrained policies on our [hub page](https://huggingface.co/lerobot) that can achieve state-of-the-art performances.
-You can reproduce their training by loading the config from their run. Simply running:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train --config_path=lerobot/diffusion_pusht
-```
-
-reproduces SOTA results for Diffusion Policy on the PushT task.

-
-### Add a pretrained policy
-
-Once you have trained a policy you may upload it to the Hugging Face hub using a hub id that looks like `${hf_user}/${repo_name}` (e.g. [lerobot/diffusion_pusht](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/diffusion_pusht)).
-
-You first need to find the checkpoint folder located inside your experiment directory (e.g. `outputs/train/2024-05-05/20-21-12_aloha_act_default/checkpoints/002500`). Within that there is a `pretrained_model` directory which should contain:
-
-- `config.json`: A serialized version of the policy configuration (following the policy's dataclass config).
-- `model.safetensors`: A set of `torch.nn.Module` parameters, saved in [Hugging Face Safetensors](https://huggingface.co/docs/safetensors/index) format.
-- `train_config.json`: A consolidated configuration containing all parameters used for training. The policy configuration should match `config.json` exactly. This is useful for anyone who wants to evaluate your policy or for reproducibility.
-
-To upload these to the hub, run the following:
-
-```bash
-huggingface-cli upload ${hf_user}/${repo_name} path/to/pretrained_model
-```
-
-See [eval.py](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/scripts/eval.py) for an example of how other people may use your policy.

+# Security Policy
+
+## Project Status & Philosophy
+
+`lerobot` has so far been primarily a research and prototyping tool, which is why deployment security hasn’t been a strong focus until now. As `lerobot` continues to be adopted and deployed in production, we are paying much closer attention to these kinds of issues.
+
+Fortunately, being an open-source project, the community can also help by reporting and fixing vulnerabilities. We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose your findings and will make every effort to acknowledge your contributions.
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+To report a security issue, please use the GitHub Security Advisory ["Report a Vulnerability"](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/security/advisories/new) tab.
+
+The `lerobot` team will send a response indicating the next steps in handling your report. After the initial reply to your report, the security team will keep you informed of the progress towards a fix and full announcement, and may ask for additional information or guidance.
+
+#### Hugging Face Security Team
+
+Since this project is part of the Hugging Face ecosystem, feel free to submit vulnerability reports directly to: **[security@huggingface.co](mailto:security@huggingface.co)**. Someone from the HF security team will review the report and recommend next steps.
+
+#### Open Source Disclosures
+
+If reporting a vulnerability specific to the open-source codebase (and not the underlying Hub infrastructure), you may also use [Huntr](https://huntr.com), a vulnerability disclosure program for open source software.
+
+## Supported Versions
+
+Currently, we treat `lerobot` as a rolling release. We prioritize security updates for the latest available version (`main` branch).
+
+| Version  | Supported |
+| -------- | --------- |
+| Latest   | ✅        |
+| < Latest | ❌        |
+
+## Secure Usage Guidelines
+
+`lerobot` is tightly coupled to the Hugging Face Hub for sharing data and pretrained policies. When downloading artifacts uploaded by others, you expose yourself to risks. Please read below for recommendations to keep your runtime and robot environment safe.
+
+### Remote Artefacts (Weights & Policies)
+
+Models and policies uploaded to the Hugging Face Hub come in different formats. We heavily recommend uploading and downloading models in the [`safetensors`](https://github.com/huggingface/safetensors) format.
+
+`safetensors` was developed specifically to prevent arbitrary code execution on your system, which is critical when running software on physical hardware/robots.
+
+To avoid loading models from unsafe formats (e.g., `pickle`), you should ensure you are prioritizing `safetensors` files.
+
+### Remote Code
+
+Some models or environments on the Hub may require `trust_remote_code=True` to run custom architecture code.
+
+Please **always** verify the content of the modeling files when using this argument. We recommend setting a specific `revision` (commit hash) when loading remote code to ensure you protect yourself from unverified updates to the repository.

-# Video benchmark
-
-## Questions
-
-What is the optimal trade-off between:
-
-- maximizing loading time with random access,
-- minimizing memory space on disk,
-- maximizing success rate of policies,
-- compatibility across devices/platforms for decoding videos (e.g. video players, web browsers).
-
-How to encode videos?
-
-- Which video codec (`-vcodec`) to use? h264, h265, AV1?
-- What pixel format to use (`-pix_fmt`)? `yuv444p` or `yuv420p`?
-- How much compression (`-crf`)? No compression with `0`, intermediate compression with `25` or extreme with `50+`?
-- Which frequency to chose for key frames (`-g`)? A key frame every `10` frames?
-
-How to decode videos?
-
-- Which `decoder`? `torchvision`, `torchaudio`, `ffmpegio`, `decord`, or `nvc`?
-- What scenarios to use for the requesting timestamps during benchmark? (`timestamps_mode`)
-
-## Variables
-
-**Image content & size**
-We don't expect the same optimal settings for a dataset of images from a simulation, or from real-world in an apartment, or in a factory, or outdoor, or with lots of moving objects in the scene, etc. Similarly, loading times might not vary linearly with the image size (resolution).
-For these reasons, we run this benchmark on four representative datasets:
-
-- `lerobot/pusht_image`: (96 x 96 pixels) simulation with simple geometric shapes, fixed camera.
-- `aliberts/aloha_mobile_shrimp_image`: (480 x 640 pixels) real-world indoor, moving camera.
-- `aliberts/paris_street`: (720 x 1280 pixels) real-world outdoor, moving camera.
-- `aliberts/kitchen`: (1080 x 1920 pixels) real-world indoor, fixed camera.
-
-Note: The datasets used for this benchmark need to be image datasets, not video datasets.
-
-**Data augmentations**
-We might revisit this benchmark and find better settings if we train our policies with various data augmentations to make them more robust (e.g. robust to color changes, compression, etc.).
-
-### Encoding parameters
-
-| parameter   | values                                                       |
-| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| **vcodec**  | `libx264`, `libx265`, `libsvtav1`                            |
-| **pix_fmt** | `yuv444p`, `yuv420p`                                         |
-| **g**       | `1`, `2`, `3`, `4`, `5`, `6`, `10`, `15`, `20`, `40`, `None` |
-| **crf**     | `0`, `5`, `10`, `15`, `20`, `25`, `30`, `40`, `50`, `None`   |
-
-Note that `crf` value might be interpreted differently by various video codecs. In other words, the same value used with one codec doesn't necessarily translate into the same compression level with another codec. In fact, the default value (`None`) isn't the same amongst the different video codecs. Importantly, it is also the case for many other ffmpeg arguments like `g` which specifies the frequency of the key frames.
-
-For a comprehensive list and documentation of these parameters, see the ffmpeg documentation depending on the video codec used:
-
-- h264: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264
-- h265: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.265
-- AV1: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AV1
-
-### Decoding parameters
-
-**Decoder**
-We tested two video decoding backends from torchvision:
-
-- `pyav`
-- `video_reader` (requires to build torchvision from source)
-
-**Requested timestamps**
-Given the way video decoding works, once a keyframe has been loaded, the decoding of subsequent frames is fast.
-This of course is affected by the `-g` parameter during encoding, which specifies the frequency of the keyframes. Given our typical use cases in robotics policies which might request a few timestamps in different random places, we want to replicate these use cases with the following scenarios:
-
-- `1_frame`: 1 frame,
-- `2_frames`: 2 consecutive frames (e.g. `[t, t + 1 / fps]`),
-- `6_frames`: 6 consecutive frames (e.g. `[t + i / fps for i in range(6)]`)
-
-Note that this differs significantly from a typical use case like watching a movie, in which every frame is loaded sequentially from the beginning to the end and it's acceptable to have big values for `-g`.
-
-Additionally, because some policies might request single timestamps that are a few frames apart, we also have the following scenario:
-
-- `2_frames_4_space`: 2 frames with 4 consecutive frames of spacing in between (e.g `[t, t + 5 / fps]`),
-
-However, due to how video decoding is implemented with `pyav`, we don't have access to an accurate seek so in practice this scenario is essentially the same as `6_frames` since all 6 frames between `t` and `t + 5 / fps` will be decoded.
-
-## Metrics
-
-**Data compression ratio (lower is better)**
-`video_images_size_ratio` is the ratio of the memory space on disk taken by the encoded video over the memory space taken by the original images. For instance, `video_images_size_ratio=25%` means that the video takes 4 times less memory space on disk compared to the original images.
-
-**Loading time ratio (lower is better)**
-`video_images_load_time_ratio` is the ratio of the time it takes to decode frames from the video at a given timestamps over the time it takes to load the exact same original images. Lower is better. For instance, `video_images_load_time_ratio=200%` means that decoding from video is 2 times slower than loading the original images.
-
-**Average Mean Square Error (lower is better)**
-`avg_mse` is the average mean square error between each decoded frame and its corresponding original image over all requested timestamps, and also divided by the number of pixels in the image to be comparable when switching to different image sizes.
-
-**Average Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (higher is better)**
-`avg_psnr` measures the ratio between the maximum possible power of a signal and the power of corrupting noise that affects the fidelity of its representation. Higher PSNR indicates better quality.
-
-**Average Structural Similarity Index Measure (higher is better)**
-`avg_ssim` evaluates the perceived quality of images by comparing luminance, contrast, and structure. SSIM values range from -1 to 1, where 1 indicates perfect similarity.
-
-One aspect that can't be measured here with those metrics is the compatibility of the encoding across platforms, in particular on web browser, for visualization purposes.
-h264, h265 and AV1 are all commonly used codecs and should not pose an issue. However, the chroma subsampling (`pix_fmt`) format might affect compatibility:
-
-- `yuv420p` is more widely supported across various platforms, including web browsers.
-- `yuv444p` offers higher color fidelity but might not be supported as broadly.
-
-<!-- **Loss of a pretrained policy (higher is better)** (not available)
-`loss_pretrained` is the result of evaluating with the selected encoding/decoding settings a policy pretrained on original images. It is easier to understand than `avg_l2_error`.
-
-**Success rate after retraining (higher is better)** (not available)
-`success_rate` is the result of training and evaluating a policy with the selected encoding/decoding settings. It is the most difficult metric to get but also the very best. -->
-
-## How the benchmark works
-
-The benchmark evaluates both encoding and decoding of video frames on the first episode of each dataset.
-
-**Encoding:** for each `vcodec` and `pix_fmt` pair, we use a default value for `g` and `crf` upon which we change a single value (either `g` or `crf`) to one of the specified values (we don't test every combination of those as this would be computationally too heavy).
-This gives a unique set of encoding parameters which is used to encode the episode.
-
-**Decoding:** Then, for each of those unique encodings, we iterate through every combination of the decoding parameters `backend` and `timestamps_mode`. For each of them, we record the metrics of a number of samples (given by `--num-samples`). This is parallelized for efficiency and the number of processes can be controlled with `--num-workers`. Ideally, it's best to have a `--num-samples` that is divisible by `--num-workers`.
-
-Intermediate results saved for each `vcodec` and `pix_fmt` combination in csv tables.
-These are then all concatenated to a single table ready for analysis.
-
-## Caveats
-
-We tried to measure the most impactful parameters for both encoding and decoding. However, for computational reasons we can't test out every combination.
-
-Additional encoding parameters exist that are not included in this benchmark. In particular:
-
-- `-preset` which allows for selecting encoding presets. This represents a collection of options that will provide a certain encoding speed to compression ratio. By leaving this parameter unspecified, it is considered to be `medium` for libx264 and libx265 and `8` for libsvtav1.
-- `-tune` which allows to optimize the encoding for certain aspects (e.g. film quality, fast decoding, etc.).
-
-See the documentation mentioned above for more detailed info on these settings and for a more comprehensive list of other parameters.
-
-Similarly on the decoding side, other decoders exist but are not implemented in our current benchmark. To name a few:
-
-- `torchaudio`
-- `ffmpegio`
-- `decord`
-- `nvc`
-
-Note as well that since we are mostly interested in the performance at decoding time (also because encoding is done only once before uploading a dataset), we did not measure encoding times nor have any metrics regarding encoding.
-However, besides the necessity to build ffmpeg from source, encoding did not pose any issue and it didn't take a significant amount of time during this benchmark.
-
-## Install
-
-Building ffmpeg from source is required to include libx265 and libaom/libsvtav1 (av1) video codecs ([compilation guide](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu)).
-
-**Note:** While you still need to build torchvision with a conda-installed `ffmpeg<4.3` to use the `video_reader` decoder (as described in [#220](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/pull/220)), you also need another version which is custom-built with all the video codecs for encoding. For the script to then use that version, you can prepend the command above with `PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"`, which is where ffmpeg should be built.
-
-## Adding a video decoder
-
-Right now, we're only benchmarking the two video decoder available with torchvision: `pyav` and `video_reader`.
-You can easily add a new decoder to benchmark by adding it to this function in the script:
-
-```diff
-def decode_video_frames(
-    video_path: str,
-    timestamps: list[float],
-    tolerance_s: float,
-    backend: str,
-) -> torch.Tensor:
-    if backend in ["pyav", "video_reader"]:
-        return decode_video_frames_torchvision(
-            video_path, timestamps, tolerance_s, backend
-        )
-+    elif backend == ["your_decoder"]:
-+        return your_decoder_function(
-+            video_path, timestamps, tolerance_s, backend
-+        )
-    else:
-        raise NotImplementedError(backend)
-```
-
-## Example
-
-For a quick run, you can try these parameters:
-
-```bash
-python benchmark/video/run_video_benchmark.py \
-    --output-dir outputs/video_benchmark \
-    --repo-ids \
-        lerobot/pusht_image \
-        aliberts/aloha_mobile_shrimp_image \
-    --vcodec libx264 libx265 \
-    --pix-fmt yuv444p yuv420p \
-    --g 2 20 None \
-    --crf 10 40 None \
-    --timestamps-modes 1_frame 2_frames \
-    --backends pyav video_reader \
-    --num-samples 5 \
-    --num-workers 5 \
-    --save-frames 0
-```
-
-## Results
-
-### Reproduce
-
-We ran the benchmark with the following parameters:
-
-```bash
-# h264 and h265 encodings
-python benchmark/video/run_video_benchmark.py \
-    --output-dir outputs/video_benchmark \
-    --repo-ids \
-        lerobot/pusht_image \
-        aliberts/aloha_mobile_shrimp_image \
-        aliberts/paris_street \
-        aliberts/kitchen \
-    --vcodec libx264 libx265 \
-    --pix-fmt yuv444p yuv420p \
-    --g 1 2 3 4 5 6 10 15 20 40 None \
-    --crf 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 40 50 None \
-    --timestamps-modes 1_frame 2_frames 6_frames \
-    --backends pyav video_reader \
-    --num-samples 50 \
-    --num-workers 5 \
-    --save-frames 1
-
-# av1 encoding (only compatible with yuv420p and pyav decoder)
-python benchmark/video/run_video_benchmark.py \
-    --output-dir outputs/video_benchmark \
-    --repo-ids \
-        lerobot/pusht_image \
-        aliberts/aloha_mobile_shrimp_image \
-        aliberts/paris_street \
-        aliberts/kitchen \
-    --vcodec libsvtav1 \
-    --pix-fmt yuv420p \
-    --g 1 2 3 4 5 6 10 15 20 40 None \
-    --crf 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 40 50 None \
-    --timestamps-modes 1_frame 2_frames 6_frames \
-    --backends pyav \
-    --num-samples 50 \

-
-### Parameters selected for LeRobotDataset
-
-Considering these results, we chose what we think is the best set of encoding parameter:
-
-- vcodec: `libsvtav1`
-- pix-fmt: `yuv420p`
-- g: `2`
-- crf: `30`
-
-Since we're using av1 encoding, we're choosing the `pyav` decoder as `video_reader` does not support it (and `pyav` doesn't require a custom build of `torchvision`).
-
-### Summary
-
-These tables show the results for `g=2` and `crf=30`, using `timestamps-modes=6_frames` and `backend=pyav`

+# Docker
+
+This directory contains Dockerfiles for running LeRobot in containerized environments. Both images are **built nightly from `main`** and published to Docker Hub with the full environment pre-baked — no dependency setup required.
+
+## Pre-built Images
+
+```bash
+# CPU-only image (based on Dockerfile.user)
+docker pull huggingface/lerobot-cpu:latest
+
+# GPU image with CUDA support (based on Dockerfile.internal)
+docker pull huggingface/lerobot-gpu:latest
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+The fastest way to start training is to pull the GPU image and run `lerobot-train` directly. This is the same environment used for all of our CI, so it is a well-tested, batteries-included setup.
+
+```bash
+docker run -it --rm --gpus all --shm-size 16gb huggingface/lerobot-gpu:latest
+
+# inside the container:
+lerobot-train --policy.type=act --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human
+```
+
+## Dockerfiles
+
+### `Dockerfile.user` (CPU)
+
+A lightweight image based on `python:3.12-slim`. Includes all Python dependencies and system libraries but does not include CUDA — there is no GPU support. Useful for exploring the codebase, running scripts, or working with robots, but not practical for training.
+
+### `Dockerfile.internal` (GPU)
+
+A CUDA-enabled image based on `nvidia/cuda`. This is the image for training — mostly used for internal interactions with the GPU cluster.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Running a pre-built image
+
+```bash
+# CPU
+docker run -it --rm huggingface/lerobot-cpu:latest
+
+# GPU
+docker run -it --rm --gpus all --shm-size 16gb huggingface/lerobot-gpu:latest
+```
+
+### Building locally
+
+From the repo root:
+
+```bash
+# CPU
+docker build -f docker/Dockerfile.user -t lerobot-user .
+docker run -it --rm lerobot-user
+
+# GPU
+docker build -f docker/Dockerfile.internal -t lerobot-internal .
+docker run -it --rm --gpus all --shm-size 16gb lerobot-internal
+```
+
+### Multi-GPU training
+
+To select specific GPUs, set `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` when launching the container:
+
+```bash
+# Use 4 GPUs
+docker run -it --rm --gpus all --shm-size 16gb \
+  -e CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3 \
+  huggingface/lerobot-gpu:latest
+```
+
+### USB device access (e.g. robots, cameras)
+
+```bash
+docker run -it --device=/dev/ -v /dev/:/dev/ --rm huggingface/lerobot-cpu:latest
+```

+# ACT (Action Chunking with Transformers)
+
+ACT is a **lightweight and efficient policy for imitation learning**, especially well-suited for fine-grained manipulation tasks. It's the **first model we recommend when you're starting out** with LeRobot due to its fast training time, low computational requirements, and strong performance.

+  ></iframe>
+</div>
+
+_Watch this tutorial from the LeRobot team to learn how ACT works: [LeRobot ACT Tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ft73x0LfGpM)_
+
+## Model Overview
+
+Action Chunking with Transformers (ACT) was introduced in the paper [Learning Fine-Grained Bimanual Manipulation with Low-Cost Hardware](https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.13705) by Zhao et al. The policy was designed to enable precise, contact-rich manipulation tasks using affordable hardware and minimal demonstration data.
+
+### Why ACT is Great for Beginners
+
+ACT stands out as an excellent starting point for several reasons:
+
+- **Fast Training**: Trains in a few hours on a single GPU
+- **Lightweight**: Only ~80M parameters, making it efficient and easy to work with
+- **Data Efficient**: Often achieves high success rates with just 50 demonstrations
+
+### Architecture
+
+ACT uses a transformer-based architecture with three main components:
+
+1. **Vision Backbone**: ResNet-18 processes images from multiple camera viewpoints
+2. **Transformer Encoder**: Synthesizes information from camera features, joint positions, and a learned latent variable
+3. **Transformer Decoder**: Generates coherent action sequences using cross-attention
+
+The policy takes as input:
+
+- Multiple RGB images (e.g., from wrist cameras, front/top cameras)
+- Current robot joint positions
+- A latent style variable `z` (learned during training, set to zero during inference)
+
+And outputs a chunk of `k` future action sequences.
+
+## Installation Requirements
+
+1. Install LeRobot by following our [Installation Guide](./installation).
+2. ACT is included in the base LeRobot installation, so no additional dependencies are needed!
+
+## Training ACT
+
+ACT works seamlessly with the standard LeRobot training pipeline. Here's a complete example for training ACT on your dataset:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/your_dataset \
+  --policy.type=act \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/act_your_dataset \
+  --job_name=act_your_dataset \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --wandb.enable=true \
+  --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/act_policy
+```
+
+### Training Tips
+
+1. **Start with defaults**: ACT's default hyperparameters work well for most tasks
+2. **Training duration**: Expect a few hours for 100k training steps on a single GPU
+3. **Batch size**: Start with batch size 8 and adjust based on your GPU memory
+
+### Train using Google Colab
+
+If your local computer doesn't have a powerful GPU, you can utilize Google Colab to train your model by following the [ACT training notebook](./notebooks#training-act).
+
+## Evaluating ACT
+
+Once training is complete, you can evaluate your ACT policy using the `lerobot-record` command with your trained policy. This will run inference and record evaluation episodes:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+  --strategy.type=base \
+  --policy.path=${HF_USER}/act_policy \
+  --robot.type=so101_follower \
+  --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+  --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
+  --display_data=true \
+  --task="Your task description" \ # can be skipped for ACT
+  --duration=60
+```

+# Action Representations
+
+This guide explains the different ways robot actions can be represented in LeRobot, how they relate to each other, and when to use each one.
+
+## Joint Space vs End-Effector Space
+
+Before discussing action representations, it helps to understand the two coordinate spaces actions can live in.
+
+### Joint Space
+
+Joint-space actions directly specify target positions for each motor. For a 6-DOF arm with a gripper, a joint-space action might look like:
+
+```
+action = [shoulder_pan: 45.0, shoulder_lift: -20.0, elbow: -30.0, wrist_pitch: 10.0, wrist_roll: 0.0, wrist_yaw: 5.0, gripper: 0.8]
+```
+
+Joint space is the default in LeRobot. It is simple, requires no kinematics model, and maps directly to motor commands. Most beginner setups (SO-100, Koch) use joint-space actions.
+
+### End-Effector (EE) Space
+
+End-effector-space actions specify the desired position and orientation of the robot's tool tip (gripper) in Cartesian coordinates:
+
+```
+action = [x: 0.25, y: -0.10, z: 0.15, wx: 0.0, wy: 0.0, wz: 0.1, gripper: 0.8]
+```
+
+EE space is more intuitive for tasks like pick-and-place because it directly describes where the gripper should go, but it requires a kinematics model (URDF) to convert between EE poses and joint angles.
+
+### Converting Between Spaces
+
+LeRobot provides processor steps for converting between joint and EE spaces using forward and inverse kinematics. These are built on top of `RobotKinematics`, which loads a URDF model of your robot.
+
+```python
+from lerobot.model.kinematics import RobotKinematics
+from lerobot.robots.so_follower.robot_kinematic_processor import (
+    ForwardKinematicsJointsToEE,
+    InverseKinematicsEEToJoints,
+)
+
+kinematics = RobotKinematics(
+    urdf_path="./SO101/so101_new_calib.urdf",
+    target_frame_name="gripper_frame_link",
+    joint_names=["shoulder", "elbow", "wrist_pitch", "wrist_roll", "wrist_yaw"],
+)
+
+# Joints → EE (for observations: "where is my gripper?")
+fk_step = ForwardKinematicsJointsToEE(kinematics=kinematics, motor_names=[...])
+
+# EE → Joints (for actions: "move my gripper here")
+ik_step = InverseKinematicsEEToJoints(kinematics=kinematics, motor_names=[...])
+```
+
+See [`examples/so100_to_so100_EE/`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/tree/main/examples/so100_to_so100_EE) for a complete working example of recording, replaying, and evaluating with EE-space actions on an SO-100 arm.
+
+## Absolute, Relative, and Delta Actions
+
+Regardless of whether you work in joint space or EE space, the action values can be expressed in three different ways. The terminology follows [UMI (Chi et al., 2024)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.10329).
+
+### Absolute Actions (LeRobot default)
+
+Each action specifies the target position directly.
+
+**Example** (joint space, chunk of 4):
+
+```
+current_state = [45.0, -30.0, 10.0]
+
+action_chunk = [
+    [46.0, -29.0, 11.0],   # go to 46, -29, 11
+    [47.5, -27.0, 12.0],   # go to 47.5, -27, 12
+    [49.0, -25.0, 13.5],   # go to 49, -25, 13.5
+    [50.0, -24.0, 15.0],   # go to 50, -24, 15
+]
+```
+
+Each value is a target position in the robot's coordinate frame. Simple and direct, but requires a consistent global coordinate frame. This is the default in LeRobot.
+
+### Relative Actions (used by OpenPI / pi0)
+
+Each action in the chunk is an offset from the **current state at the moment of prediction**. All actions in the chunk share the same reference point:
+
+```
+current_state = [45.0, -30.0, 10.0]
+
+relative_chunk = [
+    [1.0,  1.0, 1.0],   # +1 from current → target 46, -29, 11
+    [2.5,  3.0, 2.0],   # +2.5 from current → target 47.5, -27, 12
+    [4.0,  5.0, 3.5],   # +4 from current → target 49, -25, 13.5
+    [5.0,  6.0, 5.0],   # +5 from current → target 50, -24, 15
+]
+```
+
+The conversion is straightforward: `relative = absolute - current_state`. To recover absolute: `absolute = relative + current_state`.
+
+**Why use relative actions?** The model learns to predict offsets centered around zero, which is easier to normalize and leads to more stable training. Because every chunk references the same current state, there is no error accumulation across chunks.
+
+### Delta Actions (sequential differences)
+
+Each action is an offset from the **previous action** (or from the current state for the first step):
+
+```
+current_state = [45.0, -30.0, 10.0]
+
+delta_chunk = [
+    [1.0,  1.0, 1.0],   # current → 46, -29, 11
+    [1.5,  2.0, 1.0],   # previous action → 47.5, -27, 12
+    [1.5,  2.0, 1.5],   # previous action → 49, -25, 13.5
+    [1.0,  1.0, 1.5],   # previous action → 50, -24, 15
+]
+```
+
+Here each step is relative to the one before it. To recover absolute positions you must sum all previous deltas, which means errors accumulate over time. UMI explicitly argues against this representation for this reason.
+
+### Visual Comparison
+
+The figure below (based on a figure from [UMI, Chi et al., 2024](https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.10329)) illustrates the key difference. With **relative trajectory**, every action in the chunk points back to the same origin (current state), so a new inference step cleanly resets the reference. With **delta**, each action depends on the previous one, so errors accumulate. **Absolute** actions require a consistent global coordinate frame.

+
+## Using Relative Actions in LeRobot
+
+LeRobot provides `RelativeActionsProcessorStep` to convert between absolute and relative actions inside the processor pipeline. This is how pi0, pi0.5, and pi0_fast support relative actions.
+
+> **Note:** All pi models (pi0, pi0.5, pi0*fast) apply relative conversion \_before* normalization (`relative → normalize`), so the normalizer always sees delta (relative) values. This means **relative action stats are required** for all of them when training with `use_relative_actions=true`. In pi0_fast the `RelativeActionsProcessorStep` only modifies the action — the state observation is unchanged — so `NormalizerProcessorStep` still runs before the state tokenizer and the tokenizer continues to receive normalized state as expected.
+
+### How it works
+
+During **training** (preprocessing), actions are converted from absolute to relative before the model sees them:
+
+```
+raw absolute action → RelativeActionsProcessorStep → normalize → model
+```
+
+During **inference** (postprocessing), model predictions are converted back to absolute before being sent to the robot:
+
+```
+model output → unnormalize → AbsoluteActionsProcessorStep → robot
+```
+
+The `AbsoluteActionsProcessorStep` reads the cached current state from its paired `RelativeActionsProcessorStep`, so the two must be wired together (handled automatically by the policy factory).
+
+### Enabling relative actions for the pi family (pi0, pi0.5, pi0_fast)
+
+**Step 1**: Precompute relative action statistics for your dataset:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id your_dataset \
+    --operation.type recompute_stats \
+    --operation.relative_action true \
+    --operation.chunk_size 50 \
+    --operation.relative_exclude_joints "['gripper']"
+```
+
+**Step 2**: Train with relative actions enabled:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --dataset.repo_id=your_dataset \
+    --policy.type=pi0 \
+    --policy.use_relative_actions=true \
+    --policy.relative_exclude_joints='["gripper"]'
+```
+
+The `relative_exclude_joints` parameter specifies joints that should remain in absolute space. For example, gripper commands are typically binary (open/close) and don't benefit from relative encoding.
+
+### Combining relative actions with RTC
+
+[RTC](https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.07339) runs policy inference at high frequency and sends actions to the robot as they are predicted rather than waiting for a full chunk. Relative actions and RTC are fully compatible: because every chunk in relative mode references the **same** current state (captured at the start of inference), each predicted action in the chunk remains a valid offset even if the robot has already moved. No special handling is needed — `RelativeActionsProcessorStep` caches the state once per inference call and `AbsoluteActionsProcessorStep` applies it to every action in the streamed output.
+
+### Combining relative actions with EE space
+
+Relative actions work in both joint space and EE space. For example, if your dataset stores EE actions, relative encoding converts them to offsets from the current EE pose:
+
+```
+current_ee_state = [x: 0.25, y: -0.10, z: 0.15, gripper: 0.8]
+
+absolute_ee_chunk = [
+    [0.26, -0.09, 0.16, 0.8],
+    [0.28, -0.07, 0.18, 0.8],
+]
+
+relative_ee_chunk = [
+    [0.01,  0.01, 0.01, 0.0],   # offset from current EE pose
+    [0.03,  0.03, 0.03, 0.0],   # offset from current EE pose
+]
+```
+
+## Processing Pipeline Summary
+
+Here is how the different processors compose. Each arrow is a processor step, and they can be chained in a `RobotProcessorPipeline` or `PolicyProcessorPipeline`:
+
+```
+                    ┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
+   Action Space     │   Joint Space  ←──IK──→  EE Space      │
+                    │   ForwardKinematicsJointsToEE           │
+                    │   InverseKinematicsEEToJoints           │
+                    └─────────────────────────────────────────┘
+
+                    ┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
+   Representation   │   Absolute  ←────→  Relative            │
+                    │   RelativeActionsProcessorStep (pre)    │
+                    │   AbsoluteActionsProcessorStep (post)   │
+                    └─────────────────────────────────────────┘
+
+                    ┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
+   Normalization    │   Raw  ←────→  Normalized               │
+                    │   NormalizerProcessorStep (pre)         │
+                    │   UnnormalizerProcessorStep (post)      │
+                    └─────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+A typical training preprocessor might chain: `raw absolute joint actions → relative → normalize`. A typical inference postprocessor: `unnormalize → absolute → (optionally IK to joints)`.

+# Adding a New Benchmark
+
+This guide walks you through adding a new simulation benchmark to LeRobot. Follow the steps in order and use the existing benchmarks as templates.
+
+A benchmark in LeRobot is a set of [Gymnasium](https://gymnasium.farama.org/) environments that wrap a third-party simulator (like LIBERO or Meta-World) behind a standard `gym.Env` interface. The `lerobot-eval` CLI then runs evaluation uniformly across all benchmarks.
+
+## Existing benchmarks at a glance
+
+Before diving in, here is what is already integrated:
+
+| Benchmark      | Env file            | Config class       | Tasks               | Action dim   | Processor                    |
+| -------------- | ------------------- | ------------------ | ------------------- | ------------ | ---------------------------- |
+| LIBERO         | `envs/libero.py`    | `LiberoEnv`        | 130 across 5 suites | 7            | `LiberoProcessorStep`        |
+| Meta-World     | `envs/metaworld.py` | `MetaworldEnv`     | 50 (MT50)           | 4            | None                         |
+| IsaacLab Arena | Hub-hosted          | `IsaaclabArenaEnv` | Configurable        | Configurable | `IsaaclabArenaProcessorStep` |
+
+Use `src/lerobot/envs/libero.py` and `src/lerobot/envs/metaworld.py` as reference implementations.
+
+## How it all fits together
+
+### Data flow
+
+During evaluation, data moves through four stages:
+
+```
+1. gym.Env  ──→  raw observations (numpy dicts)
+
+2. Preprocessing  ──→  standard LeRobot keys + task description
+   (preprocess_observation in envs/utils.py, env.call("task_description"))
+
+3. Processors  ──→  env-specific then policy-specific transforms
+   (env_preprocessor, policy_preprocessor)
+
+4. Policy  ──→  select_action()  ──→  action tensor
+   then reverse: policy_postprocessor → env_postprocessor → numpy action → env.step()
+```
+
+Most benchmarks only need to care about stage 1 (producing observations in the right format) and optionally stage 3 (if env-specific transforms are needed).
+
+### Environment structure
+
+`make_env()` returns a nested dict of vectorized environments:
+
+```python
+dict[str, dict[int, gym.vector.VectorEnv]]
+#    ^suite       ^task_id
+```
+
+A single-task env (e.g. PushT) looks like `{"pusht": {0: vec_env}}`.
+A multi-task benchmark (e.g. LIBERO) looks like `{"libero_spatial": {0: vec0, 1: vec1, ...}, ...}`.
+
+### How evaluation runs
+
+All benchmarks are evaluated the same way by `lerobot-eval`:
+
+1. `make_env()` builds the nested `{suite: {task_id: VectorEnv}}` dict.
+2. `eval_policy_all()` iterates over every suite and task.
+3. For each task, it runs `n_episodes` rollouts via `rollout()`.
+4. Results are aggregated hierarchically: episode, task, suite, overall.
+5. Metrics include `pc_success` (success rate), `avg_sum_reward`, and `avg_max_reward`.
+
+The critical piece: your env must return `info["is_success"]` on every `step()` call. This is how the eval loop knows whether a task was completed.
+
+## What your environment must provide
+
+LeRobot does not enforce a strict observation schema. Instead it relies on a set of conventions that all benchmarks follow.
+
+### Env attributes
+
+Your `gym.Env` must set these attributes:
+
+| Attribute            | Type  | Why                                                  |
+| -------------------- | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
+| `_max_episode_steps` | `int` | `rollout()` uses this to cap episode length          |
+| `task_description`   | `str` | Passed to VLA policies as a language instruction     |
+| `task`               | `str` | Fallback identifier if `task_description` is not set |
+
+### Success reporting
+
+Your `step()` and `reset()` must include `"is_success"` in the `info` dict:
+
+```python
+info = {"is_success": True}   # or False
+return observation, reward, terminated, truncated, info
+```
+
+### Observations
+
+The simplest approach is to map your simulator's outputs to the standard keys that `preprocess_observation()` already understands. Do this inside your `gym.Env` (e.g. in a `_format_raw_obs()` helper):
+
+| Your env should output    | LeRobot maps it to         | What it is                            |
+| ------------------------- | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
+| `"pixels"` (single array) | `observation.image`        | Single camera image, HWC uint8        |
+| `"pixels"` (dict)         | `observation.images.<cam>` | Multiple cameras, each HWC uint8      |
+| `"agent_pos"`             | `observation.state`        | Proprioceptive state vector           |
+| `"environment_state"`     | `observation.env_state`    | Full environment state (e.g. PushT)   |
+| `"robot_state"`           | `observation.robot_state`  | Nested robot state dict (e.g. LIBERO) |
+
+If your simulator uses different key names, you have two options:
+
+1. **Recommended:** Rename them to the standard keys inside your `gym.Env` wrapper.
+2. **Alternative:** Write an env processor to transform observations after `preprocess_observation()` runs (see step 4 below).
+
+### Actions
+
+Actions are continuous numpy arrays in a `gym.spaces.Box`. The dimensionality depends on your benchmark (7 for LIBERO, 4 for Meta-World, etc.). Policies adapt to different action dimensions through their `input_features` / `output_features` config.
+
+### Feature declaration
+
+Each `EnvConfig` subclass declares two dicts that tell the policy what to expect:
+
+- `features` — maps feature names to `PolicyFeature(type, shape)` (e.g. action dim, image shape).
+- `features_map` — maps raw observation keys to LeRobot convention keys (e.g. `"agent_pos"` to `"observation.state"`).
+
+## Step by step
+
+<Tip>
+  At minimum, you need two files: a **gym.Env wrapper** and an **EnvConfig
+  subclass** with a `create_envs()` override. Everything else is optional or
+  documentation. No changes to `factory.py` are needed.
+</Tip>
+

+
+### 1. The gym.Env wrapper (`src/lerobot/envs/<benchmark>.py`)
+
+Create a `gym.Env` subclass that wraps the third-party simulator:
+
+```python
+class MyBenchmarkEnv(gym.Env):
+    metadata = {"render_modes": ["rgb_array"], "render_fps": <fps>}
+
+    def __init__(self, task_suite, task_id, ...):
+        super().__init__()
+        self.task = <task_name_string>
+        self.task_description = <natural_language_instruction>
+        self._max_episode_steps = <max_steps>
+        self.observation_space = spaces.Dict({...})
+        self.action_space = spaces.Box(low=..., high=..., shape=(...,), dtype=np.float32)
+
+    def reset(self, seed=None, **kwargs):
+        ...  # return (observation, info) — info must contain {"is_success": False}
+
+    def step(self, action: np.ndarray):
+        ...  # return (obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info) — info must contain {"is_success": <bool>}
+
+    def render(self):
+        ...  # return RGB image as numpy array
+
+    def close(self):
+        ...
+```
+
+**GPU-based simulators (e.g. MuJoCo with EGL rendering):** If your simulator allocates GPU/EGL contexts during `__init__`, defer that allocation to a `_ensure_env()` helper called on first `reset()`/`step()`. This avoids inheriting stale GPU handles when `AsyncVectorEnv` spawns worker processes. See `LiberoEnv._ensure_env()` for the pattern.
+
+Also provide a factory function that returns the nested dict structure:
+
+```python
+def create_mybenchmark_envs(
+    task: str,
+    n_envs: int,
+    gym_kwargs: dict | None = None,
+    env_cls: type | None = None,
+) -> dict[str, dict[int, Any]]:
+    """Create {suite_name: {task_id: VectorEnv}} for MyBenchmark."""
+    ...
+```
+
+See `create_libero_envs()` (multi-suite, multi-task) and `create_metaworld_envs()` (difficulty-grouped tasks) for reference.
+
+### 2. The config (`src/lerobot/envs/configs.py`)
+
+Register a config dataclass so users can select your benchmark with `--env.type=<name>`. Each config owns its environment creation and processor logic via two methods:
+
+- **`create_envs(n_envs, use_async_envs)`** — Returns `{suite: {task_id: VectorEnv}}`. The base class default uses `gym.make()` for single-task envs. Multi-task benchmarks override this.
+- **`get_env_processors()`** — Returns `(preprocessor, postprocessor)`. The base class default returns identity (no-op) pipelines. Override if your benchmark needs observation/action transforms.
+
+```python
+@EnvConfig.register_subclass("<benchmark_name>")
+@dataclass
+class MyBenchmarkEnvConfig(EnvConfig):
+    task: str = "<default_task>"
+    fps: int = <fps>
+    obs_type: str = "pixels_agent_pos"
+
+    features: dict[str, PolicyFeature] = field(default_factory=lambda: {
+        ACTION: PolicyFeature(type=FeatureType.ACTION, shape=(<action_dim>,)),
+    })
+    features_map: dict[str, str] = field(default_factory=lambda: {
+        ACTION: ACTION,
+        "agent_pos": OBS_STATE,
+        "pixels": OBS_IMAGE,
+    })
+
+    def __post_init__(self):
+        ...  # populate features based on obs_type
+
+    @property
+    def gym_kwargs(self) -> dict:
+        return {"obs_type": self.obs_type, "render_mode": self.render_mode}
+
+    def create_envs(self, n_envs: int, use_async_envs: bool = True):
+        """Override for multi-task benchmarks or custom env creation."""
+        from lerobot.envs.<benchmark> import create_<benchmark>_envs
+        return create_<benchmark>_envs(task=self.task, n_envs=n_envs, ...)
+
+    def get_env_processors(self):
+        """Override if your benchmark needs observation/action transforms."""
+        from lerobot.processor import PolicyProcessorPipeline
+        from lerobot.processor.env_processor import MyBenchmarkProcessorStep
+        return (
+            PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[MyBenchmarkProcessorStep()]),
+            PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[]),
+        )
+```
+
+Key points:
+
+- The `register_subclass` name is what users pass on the CLI (`--env.type=<name>`).
+- `features` tells the policy what the environment produces.
+- `features_map` maps raw observation keys to LeRobot convention keys.
+- **No changes to `factory.py` needed** — the factory delegates to `cfg.create_envs()` and `cfg.get_env_processors()` automatically.
+
+### 3. Env processor (optional — `src/lerobot/processor/env_processor.py`)
+
+Only needed if your benchmark requires observation transforms beyond what `preprocess_observation()` handles (e.g. image flipping, coordinate conversion). Define the processor step here and return it from `get_env_processors()` in your config (see step 2):
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+@ProcessorStepRegistry.register(name="<benchmark>_processor")
+class MyBenchmarkProcessorStep(ObservationProcessorStep):
+    def _process_observation(self, observation):
+        processed = observation.copy()
+        # your transforms here
+        return processed
+
+    def transform_features(self, features):
+        return features  # update if shapes change
+
+    def observation(self, observation):
+        return self._process_observation(observation)
+```
+
+See `LiberoProcessorStep` for a full example (image rotation, quaternion-to-axis-angle conversion).
+
+### 4. Dependencies (`pyproject.toml`)
+
+Add a new optional-dependency group:
+
+```toml
+mybenchmark = ["my-benchmark-pkg==1.2.3", "lerobot[scipy-dep]"]
+```
+
+Pinning rules:
+
+- **Always pin** benchmark packages to exact versions for reproducibility (e.g. `metaworld==3.0.0`).
+- **Add platform markers** when needed (e.g. `; sys_platform == 'linux'`).
+- **Pin fragile transitive deps** if known (e.g. `gymnasium==1.1.0` for Meta-World).
+- **Document constraints** in your benchmark doc page.
+
+Users install with:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[mybenchmark]"
+```
+
+### 5. Documentation (`docs/source/<benchmark>.mdx`)
+
+Write a user-facing page following the template in the next section. See `docs/source/libero.mdx` and `docs/source/metaworld.mdx` for full examples.
+
+### 6. Table of contents (`docs/source/_toctree.yml`)
+
+Add your benchmark to the "Benchmarks" section:
+
+```yaml
+- sections:
+    - local: libero
+      title: LIBERO
+    - local: metaworld
+      title: Meta-World

+
+## Verifying your integration
+
+After completing the steps above, confirm that everything works:
+
+1. **Install** — `pip install -e ".[mybenchmark]"` and verify the dependency group installs cleanly.
+2. **Smoke test env creation** — call `make_env()` with your config in Python, check that the returned dict has the expected `{suite: {task_id: VectorEnv}}` shape, and that `reset()` returns observations with the right keys.
+3. **Run a full eval** — `lerobot-eval --env.type=<name> --env.task=<task> --eval.n_episodes=1 --policy.path=<any_compatible_policy>` to exercise the full pipeline end-to-end. (`batch_size` defaults to auto-tuning based on CPU cores; pass `--eval.batch_size=1` to force a single environment.)
+4. **Check success detection** — verify that `info["is_success"]` flips to `True` when the task is actually completed. This is what the eval loop uses to compute success rates.
+
+## Writing a benchmark doc page
+
+Each benchmark `.mdx` page should include:
+
+- **Title and description** — 1-2 paragraphs on what the benchmark tests and why it matters.
+- **Links** — paper, GitHub repo, project website (if available).
+- **Overview image or GIF.**
+- **Available tasks** — table of task suites with counts and brief descriptions.
+- **Installation** — `pip install -e ".[<benchmark>]"` plus any extra steps (env vars, system packages).
+- **Evaluation** — recommended `lerobot-eval` command with `n_episodes` for reproducible results. `batch_size` defaults to auto; only specify it if needed. Include single-task and multi-task examples if applicable.
+- **Policy inputs and outputs** — observation keys with shapes, action space description.
+- **Recommended evaluation episodes** — how many episodes per task is standard.
+- **Training** — example `lerobot-train` command.
+- **Reproducing published results** — link to pretrained model, eval command, results table (if available).

+# Annotation Pipeline
+
+`lerobot-annotate` watches each episode's video with a vision-language
+model (VLM) and writes natural-language annotations back into your
+dataset. It fills the two language columns from the
+[Language Columns and Recipes](./language_and_recipes) page —
+`language_persistent` and `language_events` — straight into
+`data/chunk-*/file-*.parquet`.
+
+In short: point it at a LeRobot dataset, and it adds subtasks, plans,
+memory, interjections, speech, and visual Q&A that a policy can be
+trained on.

+
+Three modules (`plan`, `interjections`, `vqa`) all talk to **one** shared
+VLM. Each module stages its output to disk, a validator checks it, and a
+single writer rewrites the dataset shards in place.
+
+## What the pipeline produces
+
+Each module emits a few kinds of annotation ("styles"), routed to one of
+the two language columns:
+
+| Style / atom                                | Column                | Module          |
+| ------------------------------------------- | --------------------- | --------------- |
+| `subtask` (Pi0.7-style "how, not what")     | `language_persistent` | `plan`          |
+| `plan` (initial + refresh on interjection)  | `language_persistent` | `plan`          |
+| `memory` (MEM-style compression)            | `language_persistent` | `plan`          |
+| `task_aug` (rephrasings of the task)        | `language_persistent` | `plan`          |
+| `interjection`                              | `language_events`     | `interjections` |
+| speech tool-call atom (`style=null`, `say`) | `language_events`     | `interjections` |
+| `vqa` (user / assistant pair)               | `language_events`     | `vqa`           |
+
+### How subtasks are generated
+
+The `plan` module doesn't ask the VLM for subtasks in one shot. Instead
+it uses a two-step **describe → segment** flow:
+
+1. **Describe** — the VLM narrates only what it actually sees in the
+   chosen camera (no guessing about the task).
+2. **Segment** — that description is fed back in, and the VLM splits the
+   episode into consecutive atomic subtasks.
+
+Both passes see the episode as **timestamped contact sheets** — frames
+sampled at `frames_per_second` (0.5s by default) and packed into JPEG
+grids with each frame's time burned into its corner, so the VLM cites
+exact boundary times directly. This is far cheaper in vision tokens than
+one image per frame, so the sampling can stay dense; episodes longer than
+`max_frames_per_prompt` are split into windows at the same density and
+merged. Both prompts also carry a causal **event-boundary** definition (a
+new event starts when an object becomes held / is released / reaches a new
+location / a lid changes state / contents move) to sharpen where cuts land.
+
+The resulting spans are then stitched into a gap-free, full-episode
+cover, so **every frame has exactly one active subtask**. See
+[`run_hf_job.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/annotations/run_hf_job.py)
+for the production settings (single camera, timestamped contact sheets,
+auto-windowed subtask generation).
+
+### Tools
+
+The writer does **not** add a `tools` column to the parquet. The tool
+catalog lives in `meta/info.json["tools"]` instead (see [Tools](./tools)).
+After every run, the pipeline makes sure the canonical `say` schema is in
+that list, keeping any tools you declared beforehand.
+
+Want to add your own tool? Edit `meta/info.json["tools"]` directly — the
+pipeline preserves whatever is already there. That makes the tool visible
+to the chat template, so the model can learn to _generate_ the call. The
+runtime layer that actually _executes_ a generated call (the `Tool`
+protocol / `TOOL_REGISTRY` under `src/lerobot/tools/`) is not part of
+this PR — the [Tools](./tools) doc marks those pieces as
+not-yet-implemented.
+
+## Running on Hugging Face Jobs
+
+Annotation runs on [Hugging Face Jobs](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/jobs).
+The repo ships a launcher script you copy and tweak for your dataset:
+
+```bash
+HF_TOKEN=hf_... uv run python examples/annotations/run_hf_job.py
+```
+
+[`run_hf_job.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/annotations/run_hf_job.py)
+starts a single-GPU `h200` job (bump it to `h200x4` for big datasets)
+that:
+
+1. installs `lerobot` (from `main`) plus the annotation extras,
+2. boots one vLLM server per GPU (using the `vllm/vllm-openai` image) and
+   drives it over the OpenAI-compatible API,
+3. runs the `plan` / `interjections` / `vqa` modules across the dataset
+   with `lerobot-annotate`,
+4. with `--push_to_hub=true`, uploads the result to `--new_repo_id` (or
+   back to `--repo_id` in place if you leave that unset).
+
+To use a different dataset, model, or hub repo, edit the `CMD` block in
+the script. Every flag there maps directly to a `lerobot-annotate` flag
+(run `lerobot-annotate --help` for the full list).
+
+## Key options
+
+These are the flags you'll reach for most often. Run
+`lerobot-annotate --help` for everything else; the defaults are tuned for
+short manipulation episodes.
+
+### Dataset in / out
+
+| Flag              | Default | What it does                                                            |
+| ----------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--repo_id`       | —       | Hub dataset to annotate (downloaded if `--root` unset).                 |
+| `--root`          | —       | Annotate a local dataset directory instead.                             |
+| `--new_repo_id`   | —       | Push the result to a new repo (leaves the source repo untouched).       |
+| `--push_to_hub`   | `false` | Upload after annotating (to `--new_repo_id`, else back to `--repo_id`). |
+| `--only_episodes` | all     | Annotate just these episode indices (handy for a test run).             |
+| `--seed`          | `1729`  | Seeds the RNGs that pick interjection timestamps + VQA question types.  |
+
+### Which modules run
+
+Every module is on by default and can be toggled independently (set to
+`false` to skip it, e.g. to iterate on one module at a time):
+
+| Flag                      | Default | Turns off                           |

+
+## Contributing new modules
+
+The pipeline is built to grow, and **contributions are very welcome** —
+a brand-new module (say, trajectory traces or affordances), a new prompt
+template, a smarter grounding flow, or quality fixes to the existing
+`plan` / `interjections` / `vqa` modules.
+
+Every module lives under
+`src/lerobot/annotations/steerable_pipeline/modules/`, shares the VLM
+client and the keyframe cache, writes its raw output to the staging
+tree, and plugs into the executor as its own phase. Got an idea? Open an
+issue or PR on [the repo](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot).
+
+## How recipes consume the output
+
+The annotations are meant to be read by recipes (see
+[Language Columns and Recipes](./language_and_recipes)). Typically:
+
+- low-level / high-level / memory-update branches read
+  `subtask` / `plan` / `memory` from `language_persistent`.
+- an interjection-response branch reads `interjection` events plus the
+  paired speech atom (merged into one assistant turn via `tool_calls_from`)
+  and the matching `plan` refresh at the same timestamp.
+- a VQA branch reads the `(vqa, user)` and `(vqa, assistant)` pairs from
+  `language_events`.
+
+## Why state and events are split
+
+Two ideas shape the design:
+
+1. **Persistent state vs. exact events.** Persistent rows (`subtask`,
+   `plan`, `memory`) apply to the whole episode and answer "what's true
+   right now?". Event rows (`interjection`, `vqa`, speech) appear only on
+   the one frame whose timestamp matches. Timestamps are copied straight
+   from the source parquet — never recomputed in floating point.
+2. **One VLM pass.** All three modules share a single VLM client (the
+   OpenAI-compatible client talking to the job's vLLM server), so you pay
+   for one model load per dataset, not three.
+
+## Re-running a single module
+
+Each module stages its raw output to
+`<root>/.annotate_staging/episode_{N:06d}/<module>.jsonl`. This makes
+prompt iteration cheap: re-running one module overwrites only its own
+JSONL, then the writer recomposes the final parquet. Disable modules you
+don't want with `--plan.enabled=false` (and likewise
+`--interjections.enabled` / `--vqa.enabled`) to test one at a time.
+
+## What the validator checks
+
+Before the writer runs, `StagingValidator` confirms:
+
+- every event row lands exactly on a real frame timestamp;
+- no speech / interjection pairs are left orphaned;
+- `plan` is refreshed at every interjection timestamp;
+- `memory` rows fall on subtask boundaries (a warning, not an error);
+- each VQA assistant `content` is valid JSON in one of the
+  bbox / keypoint / count / attribute / spatial shapes;
+- every row goes to the column chosen by `column_for_style(style)`.
+
+Any error aborts the writer. Pass `--skip_validation=true` to override
+while debugging.
+
+## Where each module's ideas come from
+
+- **`plan` — subtasks.** Hi Robot ([Shi 2025](https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.19417))
+  for atom granularity ("pick up one piece of lettuce", "place bowl to
+  box"); Pi0.7 ([Physical Intelligence 2025](https://pi.website/pi07))
+  for "how, not what" detail.
+- **`plan` — memory.** MEM ([Torne 2026](https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.03596)):
+  keep only the minimal relevant information — preserve outcomes, drop
+  specific attributes.
+- **`interjections`.** Hi Robot's scenario taxonomy: negative task,
+  situated correction, specific constraint, preference. Speech is a
+  tool-call-only atom
+  (`tool_calls=[{type:function, function:{name:"say", arguments:{text:...}}}]`).
+- **`vqa`.** ECoT ([Zawalski 2024](https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.08693)) for
+  grounded features (pixel bounding boxes `[x_min, y_min, x_max, y_max]`,
+  keypoints) and Steerable VLA Policies
+  ([Zhao 2025](https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.07626)) for multi-abstraction
+  grounding. Pi0.7 also grounds answers across abstraction levels.
+
+When improving a module, tweak its prompt template in
+`src/lerobot/annotations/steerable_pipeline/prompts/` rather than
+rewriting from scratch.
+
+## Roughly how much it costs
+
+Per episode, the pipeline makes about `max_steps` plan calls,
+`max_interjections_per_episode` interjection calls, and
+`vqa_emission_hz × episode_seconds` VQA calls. With the defaults (8
+subtasks, 1 interjection, 1 Hz × 3 pairs) on a 30-second episode, that's
+~50 VLM calls.
+
+Storage stays small: `language_persistent` is at most tens of KB per
+episode (parquet dictionary-encodes the one entry that repeats across
+frames), and `language_events` is empty on most frames — its size scales
+with the number of emissions, not `num_frames × num_emissions`.

 # Backward compatibility
 
+## Policy Normalization Migration (PR #1452)
+
+**Breaking Change**: LeRobot policies no longer have built-in normalization layers embedded in their weights. Normalization is now handled by external `PolicyProcessorPipeline` components.
+
+### What changed?

+| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| **Normalization Location** | Embedded in model weights (`normalize_inputs.*`) | External `PolicyProcessorPipeline` components                |
+| **Model State Dict**       | Contains normalization statistics                | **Clean weights only** - no normalization parameters         |
+| **Usage**                  | `policy(batch)` handles everything               | `preprocessor(batch)` → `policy(...)` → `postprocessor(...)` |
+
+### Impact on existing models
+
+- Models trained **before** PR #1452 have normalization embedded in their weights
+- These models need migration to work with the new `PolicyProcessorPipeline` system
+- The migration extracts normalization statistics and creates separate processor pipelines
+
+### Migrating old models
+
+Use the migration script to convert models with embedded normalization:
+
+```shell
+python src/lerobot/processor/migrate_policy_normalization.py \
+    --pretrained-path lerobot/act_aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human \
+    --push-to-hub \
+    --branch migrated
+```
+
+The script:
+
+1. **Extracts** normalization statistics from model weights
+2. **Creates** external preprocessor and postprocessor pipelines
+3. **Removes** normalization layers from model weights
+4. **Saves** clean model + processor pipelines
+5. **Pushes** to Hub with automatic PR creation
+
+### Using migrated models
+
+```python
+# New usage pattern (after migration)
+from lerobot.policies import make_policy, make_pre_post_processors
+
+# Load model and processors separately
+policy = make_policy(config, ds_meta=dataset.meta)
+preprocessor, postprocessor = make_pre_post_processors(
+    policy_cfg=config,
+    dataset_stats=dataset.meta.stats
+)
+
+# Process data through pipeline
+processed_batch = preprocessor(raw_batch)
+action = policy.select_action(processed_batch)
+final_action = postprocessor(action)
+```

 ## Hardware API redesign
 
 PR [#777](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/pull/777) improves the LeRobot calibration but is **not backward-compatible**. Below is a overview of what changed and how you can continue to work with datasets created before this pull request.

+# Adding a Policy
+
+This guide walks you through implementing a custom policy and getting it to work with LeRobot's training, evaluation, and deployment tools. There are two paths:
+
+- **Plugin (out-of-tree)** — ship your policy as a standalone `lerobot_policy_*` package. Faster, no PR required, easy to iterate. Right for experimentation, internal use, or when you want to publish independently.
+- **In-tree (contributed to LeRobot)** — land your policy directly in `src/lerobot/policies/`. Requires a PR, but makes your policy a first-class citizen of the library.
+
+The plugin route is usually the right starting point — promote to in-tree once the policy has stabilized and there's clear value in shipping it with the library.
+
+Either way, the building blocks are the same: a configuration class, a policy class, and a processor factory. The first half of this guide covers those shared pieces; the second half covers the path-specific scaffolding ([Path A](#path-a-out-of-tree-plugin), [Path B](#path-b-contributing-in-tree)).
+
+A note on tone: robot-learning is an actively evolving field, and "what a policy looks like" can shift with each new architecture. The conventions described here exist because they let `lerobot-train` and `lerobot-eval` work uniformly across very different models. When a new policy genuinely doesn't fit them, raise it (in your PR, or an issue) — the conventions are not sacred.
+
+---
+
+## Anatomy of a policy
+
+Three building blocks make up every policy. The names below use `my_policy` as a placeholder — replace with your policy's name. That name is load-bearing: it must match the string you pass to `@PreTrainedConfig.register_subclass`, the `MyPolicy.name` class attribute, and the `make_<name>_pre_post_processors` factory function (more on each below).
+
+### Configuration class
+
+Inherit from [`PreTrainedConfig`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/configs/policies.py) and register your policy type. Here is a template — customize the parameters and methods as needed for your policy's architecture and training requirements.
+
+```python
+# configuration_my_policy.py
+from dataclasses import dataclass, field
+from lerobot.configs import PreTrainedConfig
+from lerobot.optim import AdamWConfig

+    @property
+    def reward_delta_indices(self) -> None:

+
+The string you pass to `@register_subclass` must match `MyPolicy.name` (next section) and is what users supply as `--policy.type` on the CLI. Default to `AdamW` from `lerobot.optim` for `get_optimizer_preset` unless you genuinely need otherwise.

+Inherit from [`PreTrainedPolicy`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/policies/pretrained.py) and set two class attributes — both are checked by `__init_subclass__`:

+
+Batches are flat dictionaries keyed by the constants in [`lerobot.utils.constants`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/utils/constants.py): `OBS_STATE` (`observation.state.<motor>`), `OBS_IMAGES` (`observation.images.<camera>`), `OBS_LANGUAGE`, `ACTION`, etc. Reuse the constants — don't invent new prefixes.
+
+### Processor functions
+
+LeRobot uses `PolicyProcessorPipeline`s to normalize inputs and de-normalize outputs around your policy. For a concrete reference, see [`processor_act.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/policies/act/processor_act.py) or [`processor_diffusion.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/policies/diffusion/processor_diffusion.py).
+
+```python
+# processor_my_policy.py
+from typing import Any
+import torch
+
+from lerobot.processor import PolicyAction, PolicyProcessorPipeline
+
+
+def make_my_policy_pre_post_processors(
+    config,
+    dataset_stats: dict[str, dict[str, torch.Tensor]] | None = None,
+) -> tuple[
+    PolicyProcessorPipeline[dict[str, Any], dict[str, Any]],
+    PolicyProcessorPipeline[PolicyAction, PolicyAction],
+]:
+    preprocessor = ...   # build your PolicyProcessorPipeline for inputs
+    postprocessor = ...  # build your PolicyProcessorPipeline for outputs
+    return preprocessor, postprocessor
+```
+
+**Important — function naming:** LeRobot discovers your processor by name. The function **must** be called `make_{policy_name}_pre_post_processors` (matching the string you passed to `@PreTrainedConfig.register_subclass`).
+
+---
+
+## Path A: Out-of-tree plugin
+
+The fastest way to ship a policy: package it as a standalone Python distribution and install it alongside LeRobot. No PR required, you own the release cycle, and you can publish to PyPI under your own namespace.
+
+### Package structure
+
+Create a package with the prefix `lerobot_policy_` (IMPORTANT!) followed by your policy name:
+
+```bash
+lerobot_policy_my_policy/
+├── pyproject.toml
+└── src/
+    └── lerobot_policy_my_policy/
+        ├── __init__.py
+        ├── configuration_my_policy.py
+        ├── modeling_my_policy.py
+        └── processor_my_policy.py
+```
+
+### `pyproject.toml`
+
+```toml
+[project]
+name = "lerobot_policy_my_policy"
+version = "0.1.0"
+dependencies = [
+    # your policy-specific dependencies
+]
+requires-python = ">= 3.12"
+
+[build-system]
+build-backend = # your-build-backend
+requires = # your-build-system
+```
+
+### Package `__init__.py`
+
+Expose your classes in the package's `__init__.py` and guard against missing `lerobot`:
+
+```python
+# __init__.py
+"""Custom policy package for LeRobot."""
+
+try:
+    import lerobot  # noqa: F401

+
+## Path B: Contributing in-tree
+
+When your policy has stabilized and there's clear value in shipping it with the library, you can land it directly in LeRobot. Read the general [contribution guide](./contributing) and the [PR template](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md) first — that's where you'll find the testing/quality expectations every PR has to meet (`pre-commit run -a`, `pytest`, the community-review rule, etc.). What's below is the policy-specific layer on top of that.
+
+### In-tree layout
+
+```
+src/lerobot/policies/my_policy/
+├── __init__.py                    # re-exports config + modeling + processor factory
+├── configuration_my_policy.py     # MyPolicyConfig + @register_subclass
+├── modeling_my_policy.py          # MyPolicy(PreTrainedPolicy)
+├── processor_my_policy.py         # make_my_policy_pre_post_processors
+└── README.md                      # symlink → ../../../../docs/source/policy_my_policy_README.md
+```
+
+Two notes:
+
+- The `README.md` next to the source is a **symlink** into `docs/source/policy_<name>_README.md` — the actual file lives under `docs/`. Existing policies (act, smolvla, diffusion, …) all do this; copy one of those symlinks. The policy README is conventionally minimal: paper link + BibTeX citation.
+- The user-facing tutorial — what to install, how to train, hyperparameters, benchmark numbers — lives separately at `docs/source/<my_policy>.mdx` and is registered in `_toctree.yml` under "Policies".
+
+The file names are load-bearing: the factory does lazy imports by name, and the processor is discovered by the `make_<policy_name>_pre_post_processors` convention.
+
+### Wiring
+
+Four places need to know about your policy. All by name.
+
+1. **`policies/__init__.py`** — re-export `MyPolicyConfig` and add it to `__all__`. **Don't** re-export the modeling class; it loads lazily through the factory (so `import lerobot` stays fast).
+2. **`factory.py:get_policy_class`** — add a branch returning `MyPolicy` from a lazy import.
+3. **`factory.py:make_policy_config`** and **`factory.py:make_pre_post_processors`** — same idea, two more branches.
+4. **`templates/lerobot_modelcard_template.md` and the root `README.md`** — the template is what `push_model_to_hub` renders into the model card of every checkpoint trained with your policy: add a one-line description of your policy in the `model_name` branches, map it in `policy_docs` so cards link to your MDX guide, and optionally add an architecture image to `diagrams`. Then add your policy to the models table in the root `README.md`, under the right category, linking to your doc page.
+
+Mirror an existing policy that's structurally similar to yours; the diff is small.
+
+### Heavy / optional dependencies
+
+Most policies need a heavy backbone (transformers, diffusers, a specific VLM SDK). The convention is **two-step gating**: a `TYPE_CHECKING`-guarded import at module top, and a `require_package` runtime check in the constructor. [`modeling_diffusion.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/policies/diffusion/modeling_diffusion.py) is the canonical reference:
+
+```python
+from typing import TYPE_CHECKING
+from lerobot.utils.import_utils import _diffusers_available, require_package
+
+if TYPE_CHECKING or _diffusers_available:
+    from diffusers.schedulers.scheduling_ddim import DDIMScheduler
+else:
+    DDIMScheduler = None  # keeps the symbol bindable at import time
+
+class DiffusionPolicy(PreTrainedPolicy):
+    def __init__(self, config):
+        require_package("diffusers", extra="diffusion")
+        super().__init__(config)
+        ...
+```
+
+This way:
+
+- `import lerobot.policies` keeps working without the extra installed (the symbol is just bound to `None`).
+- Type checkers see the real symbol.
+- Instantiating the policy without the extra raises a clear `ImportError` pointing at `pip install 'lerobot[diffusion]'`.
+
+Add a matching extra to [`pyproject.toml`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/pyproject.toml) `[project.optional-dependencies]` and include it in the `all` extra so `pip install 'lerobot[all]'` keeps installing everything.
+
+### Benchmarks and a published checkpoint
+
+A new policy is much easier to review — and far more useful — when it ships with a working checkpoint and at least one number you can reproduce.
+
+**Pick at least one in-tree benchmark.** LeRobot ships sim benchmarks with per-benchmark Docker images (LIBERO, LIBERO-plus, Meta-World, RoboTwin 2.0, RoboCasa365, RoboCerebra, RoboMME, VLABench and more). Pick the one that matches your policy's modality — VLAs usually go to LIBERO or VLABench; image-only BC to LIBERO or Meta-World. The full list lives under [Benchmarks](./libero) in the docs sidebar.
+
+**Push the checkpoint & processors** to the Hub under `lerobot/<policy>_<benchmark>` (or your namespace if you don't have write access; a maintainer can mirror it). Use `PreTrainedPolicy.push_model_to_hub` so the repo gets `config.json`, `model.safetensors`, and a model card.
+
+**Report results in your policy's MDX**, with the exact `lerobot-eval` command and hardware so anyone can re-run:
+
+```markdown
+## Results
+
+Evaluated on LIBERO with `lerobot/<policy>_libero`:
+
+| Suite          | Success rate | n_episodes |
+| -------------- | -----------: | ---------: |
+| libero_spatial |        87.5% |         50 |
+| libero_object  |        93.0% |         50 |
+| libero_goal    |        81.5% |         50 |
+| libero_10      |        62.0% |         50 |
+| **average**    |    **81.0%** |        200 |
+
+Reproduce: `lerobot-eval --policy.path=lerobot/<policy>_libero --env.type=libero --env.task=libero_spatial --eval.n_episodes=50` (1× A100 40 GB).
+```
+
+Use `n_episodes ≥ 50` per suite for stable success-rate estimates.
+
+If your policy is real-robot-only and no sim benchmark applies, swap the sim eval for: a public training dataset on the Hub, the `lerobot-train` command, the checkpoint, and a real-robot success rate over ≥10 episodes via `lerobot-rollout --policy.path=...`.
+
+### PR checklist
+
+The general expectations are in [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) and the [PR template](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md). On top of those, reviewers will look for:
+
+- [ ] `MyPolicy` and `MyPolicyConfig` cover the surface above; `__init_subclass__` accepts the class.
+- [ ] `factory.py` and `policies/__init__.py` are wired (lazy imports for modeling).
+- [ ] `make_my_policy_pre_post_processors` follows the naming convention.
+- [ ] Optional deps live behind a `[project.optional-dependencies]` extra and the `TYPE_CHECKING + require_package` guard.
+- [ ] `tests/policies/` updated; backward-compat artifact committed & policy-specific tests.
+- [ ] `src/lerobot/policies/<name>/README.md` symlinked into `docs/source/policy_<name>_README.md`; user-facing `docs/source/<name>.mdx` written and added to `_toctree.yml`.
+- [ ] `templates/lerobot_modelcard_template.md` has a description entry and a `policy_docs` link for your policy.
+- [ ] The models table in the root `README.md` lists your policy in the right category, linking to your doc page.
+- [ ] At least one reproducible benchmark eval in the policy MDX with a published checkpoint (sim benchmark, or real-robot dataset + checkpoint).
+
+The fastest way to get a clean PR is to copy the directory of the existing policy closest to yours, rename, and replace contents method by method. Don't wait until everything is polished — open a draft PR early and iterate with us; reviewers would much rather give feedback on a half-finished branch than a fully-merged one.

+
+Thanks for taking the time to bring a new policy into LeRobot. Every architecture that lands in `main` — and every plugin published by the community — makes the library a little more useful for the next person, and a little more representative of where robot learning is going. We're looking forward to seeing what you ship. 🤗

 # 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).

+### Working with depth
+
+The Intel RealSense and Reachy 2 cameras can capture both color and depth in lockstep. Calling `read()` returns the **color** frame as `(H, W, 3)` `uint8`. Calling `read_depth()` returns the **depth map** as `(H, W, 1)` `uint16`, where each pixel value is the distance from the sensor expressed in **millimetres**. A pixel value of `0` typically means "no measurement available" (out-of-range, occluded, or low-confidence).
+
+During recording, the control loop peeks the freshest buffered frames non-blockingly via `read_latest()` (color) and `read_latest_depth()` (depth), adding the depth map as a sibling feature (e.g. `front_depth` next to `front`).
+
+For how depth streams are stored and encoded when recording a dataset, see the [Depth streams](./video_encoding_parameters#depth-streams) section of the video encoding guide.

+All of the LeRobot commands in one place. If you forgot how to use a specific command or want to learn about a new one you can do it here.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> For all of the commands listed below remember to change the ports/names/ids to your own values!
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Another great way to look at all the commands and get them configured for your specific setup is to use this [Jupyter Notebook](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/notebooks/quickstart.ipynb).
+
+### Setup and installation
+
+For installation please look at [LeRobot Installation](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/main/en/installation).
+
+### Useful tools
+
+###### Find port
+
+Use this to identify which serial ports your robots are connected to. Follow the instructions in your terminal: you will be asked to unplug the USB cable and press Enter. The script will then detect and print the correct serial port for that robot.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-find-port
+```
+
+###### Find cameras
+
+Quickly find camera indices and verify their output. This command prints camera information to the terminal and saves test frames from each detected camera to `lerobot/outputs/captured_images`
+
+```bash
+lerobot-find-cameras
+```
+
+### Calibration
+
+In most cases you will need to perform calibration just once for each robot and teleoperation device. Before performing the calibration make sure that all the joints are roughly in the middle position.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-calibrate \
+    --robot.type=so101_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+    --robot.id=my_follower_arm
+```
+
+Make sure that you use the same IDs used during calibration later for the other scripts. That's how LeRobot finds the calibration files.
+
+### Teleoperation
+
+Teleoperating with two cameras and displaying the data with Rerun.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-teleoperate \
+    --robot.type=so101_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+    --robot.id=my_follower_arm \
+    --robot.cameras="{ top: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 1, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}, wrist: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30} }" \
+    --teleop.type=so101_leader \
+    --teleop.port=/dev/ttyACM1 \
+    --teleop.id=my_leader_arm \
+    --display_data=true
+```
+
+### Recording a dataset
+
+The dataset is automatically uploaded to the server and saved under repo_id, make sure you are logged in to your HF account with CLI:
+`hf auth login`
+
+You can get the token from: [https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens)
+
+```bash
+lerobot-record \
+    --robot.type=so101_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+    --robot.id=my_follower_arm \
+    --robot.cameras="{ top: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 1, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}, wrist: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30} }" \
+    --teleop.type=so101_leader \
+    --teleop.port=/dev/ttyACM1 \
+    --teleop.id=my_leader_arm \
+    --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/so101_dataset_test \
+    --dataset.num_episodes=30 \
+    --dataset.single_task="put the red brick in a bowl" \
+    --dataset.streaming_encoding=true \
+    --display_data=true
+```
+
+While collecting the dataset you can control the process with your keyboard:
+Control the data recording flow using keyboard shortcuts:
+
+- Press **Right Arrow (`→`)**: Save episode and move to the next.
+- Press **Left Arrow (`←`)**: Delete current episode and retry.
+- Press **Escape (`ESC`)**: Stop, encode videos, and upload.
+
+### Recording depth
+
+Intel RealSense cameras (`type: intelrealsense`) record a depth stream when you set `use_depth: true`. Depth is quantized to 12-bit codes and stored as its own video.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-record \
+    ... \
+    --robot.cameras="{ head: {type: intelrealsense, serial_number_or_name: \"0123456789\", width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30, use_depth: true} }" \
+    --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/so101_depth_test \
+    --dataset.single_task="put the red brick in a bowl" \
+    --dataset.depth_encoder.depth_min=0.01 \
+    --dataset.depth_encoder.depth_max=10.0 \
+    --dataset.depth_encoder.shift=0.0 \
+    --dataset.depth_encoder.use_log=true
+```
+
+### Video encoding parameters
+
+RGB and depth streams are encoded independently via the `--dataset.rgb_encoder.*` and `--dataset.depth_encoder.*` keys.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-record \
+    ... \
+    --dataset.rgb_encoder.vcodec=h264 \
+    --dataset.rgb_encoder.pix_fmt=yuv420p \
+    --dataset.rgb_encoder.crf=23 \
+    --dataset.depth_encoder.vcodec=hevc \
+    --dataset.depth_encoder.extra_options='{"x265-params": "lossless=1"}'
+```
+
+### Training
+
+Depending on your hardware training the policy might take a few hours. That's how you train simple `ACT` policy:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/so101_dataset_test \
+    --policy.type=act \
+    --output_dir=outputs/train/act_so101_test \
+    --job_name=act_so101_test \
+    --policy.device=cuda \
+    --wandb.enable=true \
+    --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/policy_test \
+    --steps=20000
+```
+
+- Policy Types: `act`, `diffusion`, `smolvla`, `pi05`
+- Devices: `cuda` (NVIDIA), `mps` (Apple Silicon), `cpu`
+
+If you want to fine-tune a specific model you can provide the path to the model. In this case path is enough and type can be skipped.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/so101_dataset_test \
+    --policy.path=username/the_policy_to_finetune \
+    --policy.device=cuda \
+    --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/policy_test \
+    --output_dir=outputs/train/act_so101_test \
+    --steps=20000
+```
+
+No local GPU? Add `--job.target=<flavor>` (e.g. `a10g-small`) to either command and `lerobot-train` runs it on [Hugging Face Jobs](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/jobs) instead — it uploads a local-only dataset for you and pushes the trained model. List flavors with `hf jobs hardware`.
+
+To resume, point `--config_path` at a checkpoint and add `--resume=true`. It accepts a local path or a Hub repo id (the latest checkpoint is fetched), and works locally or on a job by adding `--job.target=<flavor>`:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train --config_path=${HF_USER}/policy_test --resume=true --job.target=a10g-small
+```
+
+### Inference
+
+Inference means running the trained policy/model on a robot. For that we use `lerobot-rollout`. You will need to provide a path to your policy. It can be a local path or a path to Hugging Face for example "lerobot/folding_latest". Your cameras configuration needs to match what was used when collecting the dataset. Duration is in seconds if unspecified, it will run forever.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If you are using the previous release V0.5.1 instead of `lerobot-rollout` you need to use `lerobot-record`. More information [here](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/v0.5.1/en/il_robots#run-inference-and-evaluate-your-policy).
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+    --strategy.type=base \
+    --policy.path=${HF_USER}/my_policy \
+    --robot.type=so101_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM1 \
+    --robot.cameras="{ up: {type: opencv, index_or_path: /dev/video1, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}, side: {type: opencv, index_or_path: /dev/video5, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
+    --task="Put lego brick into the transparent box" \
+    --duration=60
+```

+# Damiao Motors and CAN Bus
+
+This guide covers setup and usage of Damiao motors with LeRobot via CAN bus communication.
+
+Currently, only Linux is supported, as the OpenArms CAN adapter only has drivers for Linux.
+
+## Linux CAN Setup
+
+Before using Damiao motors, you need to set up the CAN interface on your Linux system.
+
+### Install CAN Utilities
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install can-utils
+```
+
+### Configure CAN Interface (Manual)
+
+For standard CAN FD (recommended for OpenArms):
+
+```bash
+sudo ip link set can0 down
+sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 1000000 dbitrate 5000000 fd on
+sudo ip link set can0 up
+```
+
+For standard CAN (without FD):
+
+```bash
+sudo ip link set can0 down
+sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 1000000
+sudo ip link set can0 up
+```
+
+### Configure CAN Interface (Using LeRobot)
+
+LeRobot provides a utility script to setup and test CAN interfaces:
+
+```bash
+# Setup multiple interfaces (e.g., OpenArms Followers with 2 CAN buses)
+lerobot-setup-can --mode=setup --interfaces=can0,can1
+```
+
+## Debugging CAN Communication
+
+Use the built-in debug tools to test motor communication:
+
+```bash
+# Test motors on all interfaces
+lerobot-setup-can --mode=test --interfaces=can0,can1
+
+# Run speed/latency test
+lerobot-setup-can --mode=speed --interfaces=can0
+```
+
+The test mode will scan for motors (IDs 0x01-0x08) and report which ones respond. Example output:
+
+```
+can0: UP (CAN FD)
+  Motor 0x01 (joint_1): ✓ FOUND
+    → Response 0x11 [FD]: 00112233...
+  Motor 0x02 (joint_2): ✓ FOUND
+  Motor 0x03 (joint_3): ✗ No response
+  ...
+  Summary: 2/8 motors found
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Setup
+
+```python
+from lerobot.motors import Motor
+from lerobot.motors.damiao import DamiaoMotorsBus
+
+# Define your motors with send/receive CAN IDs
+motors = {
+    "joint_1": Motor(id=0x01, motor_type_str="dm8009", recv_id=0x11),
+    "joint_2": Motor(id=0x02, motor_type_str="dm4340", recv_id=0x12),
+    "joint_3": Motor(id=0x03, motor_type_str="dm4310", recv_id=0x13),
+}
+
+# Create the bus
+bus = DamiaoMotorsBus(
+    port="can0",  # Linux socketcan interface
+    motors=motors,
+)
+
+# Connect
+bus.connect()
+```
+
+### Reading Motor States
+
+```python
+# Read single motor position (degrees)
+position = bus.read("Present_Position", "joint_1")
+
+# Read from multiple motors
+positions = bus.sync_read("Present_Position")  # All motors
+positions = bus.sync_read("Present_Position", ["joint_1", "joint_2"])
+
+# Read all states at once (position, velocity, torque)
+states = bus.sync_read_all_states()
+# Returns: {'joint_1': {'position': 45.2, 'velocity': 1.3, 'torque': 0.5}, ...}
+```
+
+### Writing Motor Commands
+
+```python
+# Enable torque
+bus.enable_torque()
+
+# Set goal position (degrees)
+bus.write("Goal_Position", "joint_1", 45.0)
+
+# Set positions for multiple motors
+bus.sync_write("Goal_Position", {
+    "joint_1": 45.0,
+    "joint_2": -30.0,
+    "joint_3": 90.0,
+})
+
+# Disable torque
+bus.disable_torque()
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+| Parameter      | Default   | Description                                                 |
+| -------------- | --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `port`         | -         | CAN interface (`can0`) or serial port (`/dev/cu.usbmodem*`) |
+| `use_can_fd`   | `True`    | Enable CAN FD for higher data rates                         |
+| `bitrate`      | `1000000` | Nominal bitrate (1 Mbps)                                    |
+| `data_bitrate` | `5000000` | CAN FD data bitrate (5 Mbps)                                |
+
+## Motor Configuration
+
+Each motor requires:
+
+- `id`: CAN ID for sending commands
+- `motor_type`: One of the supported motor types (e.g., `"dm8009"`, `"dm4340"`)
+- `recv_id`: CAN ID for receiving responses
+
+OpenArms default IDs follow the pattern: send ID `0x0N`, receive ID `0x1N` where N is the joint number.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No Response from Motors
+
+1. **Check power**
+2. **Verify CAN wiring**: Check CAN-H, CAN-L, and GND connections
+3. **Check motor IDs**: Use Damiao Debugging Tools to verify/configure IDs
+4. **Test CAN interface**: Run `candump can0` to see if messages are being received
+5. **Run diagnostics**: `lerobot-setup-can --mode=test --interfaces=can0`
+
+### Motor Timeout Parameter
+
+If motors were configured with timeout=0, they won't respond to commands. Use Damiao Debugging Tools to set a non-zero timeout value.
+
+### Verify CAN FD Status
+
+```bash
+ip -d link show can0 | grep fd
+```

+# Debug Your Processor Pipeline
+
+Processor pipelines can be complex, especially when chaining multiple transformation steps.
+Unlike simple function calls, pipelines lack natural observability, you can't easily see what happens
+between each step or where things go wrong.
+This guide provides debugging tools and techniques specifically designed to address these challenges
+and help you understand data flow through your pipelines.
+
+We'll explore three complementary debugging approaches: **hooks** for runtime monitoring, **step-through debugging** for detailed inspection, and **feature validation** for catching structural mismatches. Each serves a different purpose and together they provide complete visibility into your pipeline's behavior.
+
+## Understanding Hooks
+
+Hooks are functions that get called at specific points during pipeline execution.
+They provide a way to inspect, monitor, or modify data without changing your pipeline code.
+Think of them as "event listeners" for your pipeline.
+
+### What is a Hook?
+
+A hook is a callback function that gets automatically invoked at specific moments during pipeline execution.
+The concept comes from event-driven programming, imagine you could "hook into" the pipeline's execution flow to observe or react to what's happening.
+
+Think of hooks like inserting checkpoints into your pipeline. Every time the pipeline reaches one of these checkpoints, it pauses briefly to call your hook function, giving you a chance to inspect the current state, log information, and validate data.
+
+A hook is simply a function that accepts two parameters:
+
+- `step_idx: int` - The index of the current processing step (0, 1, 2, etc.)
+- `transition: EnvTransition` - The data transition at that point in the pipeline
+
+The beauty of hooks is their non-invasive nature: you can add monitoring, validation, or debugging logic without changing a single line of your pipeline code. The pipeline remains clean and focused on its core logic, while hooks handle the cross-cutting concerns like logging, monitoring, and debugging.
+
+### Before vs After Hooks
+
+The pipeline supports two types of hooks:
+
+- **Before hooks** (`register_before_step_hook`) - Called before each step executes
+- **After hooks** (`register_after_step_hook`) - Called after each step completes
+
+```python
+def before_hook(step_idx: int, transition: EnvTransition):
+    """Called before step processes the transition."""
+    print(f"About to execute step {step_idx}")
+    # Useful for: logging, validation, setup
+
+def after_hook(step_idx: int, transition: EnvTransition):
+    """Called after step has processed the transition."""
+    print(f"Completed step {step_idx}")
+    # Useful for: monitoring results, cleanup, debugging
+
+processor.register_before_step_hook(before_hook)
+processor.register_after_step_hook(after_hook)
+```
+
+### Implementing a NaN Detection Hook
+
+Here's a practical example of a hook that detects NaN values:
+
+```python
+def check_nans(step_idx: int, transition: EnvTransition):
+    """Check for NaN values in observations."""
+    obs = transition.get(TransitionKey.OBSERVATION)
+    if obs:
+        for key, value in obs.items():
+            if isinstance(value, torch.Tensor) and torch.isnan(value).any():
+                print(f"NaN detected in {key} at step {step_idx}")
+
+# Register the hook to run after each step
+processor.register_after_step_hook(check_nans)
+
+# Process your data - the hook will be called automatically
+output = processor(input_data)
+
+# Remove the hook when done debugging
+processor.unregister_after_step_hook(check_nans)
+```
+
+### How Hooks Work Internally
+
+Understanding the internal mechanism helps you use hooks more effectively. The pipeline maintains two separate lists: one for before-step hooks and another for after-step hooks. When you register a hook, it's simply appended to the appropriate list.
+
+During execution, the pipeline follows a strict sequence: for each processing step, it first calls all before-hooks in registration order, then executes the actual step transformation, and finally calls all after-hooks in registration order. This creates a predictable, sandwich-like structure around each step.
+
+The key insight is that hooks don't change the core pipeline logic—they're purely additive. The pipeline's `_forward` method orchestrates this dance between hooks and processing steps, ensuring that your debugging or monitoring code runs at exactly the right moments without interfering with the main data flow.
+
+Here's a simplified view of how the pipeline executes hooks:
+
+```python
+class DataProcessorPipeline:
+    def __init__(self):
+        self.steps = [...]
+        self.before_step_hooks = []  # List of before hooks
+        self.after_step_hooks = []   # List of after hooks
+
+    def _forward(self, transition):
+        """Internal method that processes the transition through all steps."""
+        for step_idx, processor_step in enumerate(self.steps):
+            # 1. Call all BEFORE hooks
+            for hook in self.before_step_hooks:
+                hook(step_idx, transition)
+
+            # 2. Execute the actual processing step
+            transition = processor_step(transition)
+
+            # 3. Call all AFTER hooks
+            for hook in self.after_step_hooks:
+                hook(step_idx, transition)
+
+        return transition
+
+    def register_before_step_hook(self, hook_fn):
+        self.before_step_hooks.append(hook_fn)
+
+    def register_after_step_hook(self, hook_fn):
+        self.after_step_hooks.append(hook_fn)
+```
+
+### Execution Flow
+
+The execution flow looks like this:
+
+```
+Input → Before Hook → Step 0 → After Hook → Before Hook → Step 1 → After Hook → ... → Output
+```
+
+For example, with 3 steps and both hook types:
+
+```python
+def timing_before(step_idx, transition):
+    print(f"⏱️  Starting step {step_idx}")
+
+def validation_after(step_idx, transition):
+    print(f"✅ Completed step {step_idx}")
+
+processor.register_before_step_hook(timing_before)
+processor.register_after_step_hook(validation_after)
+
+# This will output:
+# ⏱️  Starting step 0
+# ✅ Completed step 0
+# ⏱️  Starting step 1
+# ✅ Completed step 1
+# ⏱️  Starting step 2
+# ✅ Completed step 2
+```
+
+### Multiple Hooks
+
+You can register multiple hooks of the same type - they execute in the order registered:
+
+```python
+def log_shapes(step_idx: int, transition: EnvTransition):
+    obs = transition.get(TransitionKey.OBSERVATION)
+    if obs:
+        print(f"Step {step_idx} observation shapes:")
+        for key, value in obs.items():
+            if isinstance(value, torch.Tensor):
+                print(f"  {key}: {value.shape}")
+
+processor.register_after_step_hook(check_nans)      # Executes first
+processor.register_after_step_hook(log_shapes)     # Executes second
+
+# Both hooks will be called after each step in registration order
+output = processor(input_data)
+```
+
+While hooks are excellent for monitoring specific issues (like NaN detection) or gathering metrics during normal pipeline execution, sometimes you need to dive deeper. When you want to understand exactly what happens at each step or debug complex transformation logic, step-through debugging provides the detailed inspection you need.
+
+## Step-Through Debugging
+
+Step-through debugging is like having a slow-motion replay for your pipeline. Instead of watching your data get transformed in one quick blur from input to output, you can pause and examine what happens after each individual step.
+
+This approach is particularly valuable when you're trying to understand a complex pipeline, debug unexpected behavior, or verify that each transformation is working as expected. Unlike hooks, which are great for automated monitoring, step-through debugging gives you manual, interactive control over the inspection process.
+
+The `step_through()` method is a generator that yields the transition state after each processing step, allowing you to inspect intermediate results. Think of it as creating a series of snapshots of your data as it flows through the pipeline—each snapshot shows you exactly what your data looks like after one more transformation has been applied.
+
+### How Step-Through Works
+
+The `step_through()` method fundamentally changes how the pipeline executes. Instead of running all steps in sequence and only returning the final result, it transforms the pipeline into an iterator that yields intermediate results.
+
+Here's what happens internally: the method starts by converting your input data into the pipeline's internal transition format, then yields this initial state. Next, it applies the first processing step and yields the result. Then it applies the second step to that result and yields again, and so on. Each `yield` gives you a complete snapshot of the transition at that point.
+
+This generator pattern is powerful because it's lazy—the pipeline only computes the next step when you ask for it. This means you can stop at any point, inspect the current state thoroughly, and decide whether to continue. You're not forced to run the entire pipeline just to debug one problematic step.
+
+Instead of running the entire pipeline and only seeing the final result, `step_through()` pauses after each step and gives you the intermediate transition:
+
+```python
+# This creates a generator that yields intermediate states
+for i, intermediate_result in enumerate(processor.step_through(input_data)):
+    print(f"=== After step {i} ===")
+
+    # Inspect the observation at this stage
+    obs = intermediate_result.get(TransitionKey.OBSERVATION)
+    if obs:
+        for key, value in obs.items():
+            if isinstance(value, torch.Tensor):
+                print(f"{key}: shape={value.shape}, dtype={value.dtype}")
+```
+
+### Interactive Debugging with Breakpoints
+
+You can add breakpoints in the step-through loop to interactively debug:
+
+```python
+# Step through the pipeline with debugging
+for i, intermediate in enumerate(processor.step_through(data)):
+    print(f"Step {i}: {processor.steps[i].__class__.__name__}")
+
+    # Set a breakpoint to inspect the current state
+    breakpoint()  # Debugger will pause here
+
+    # You can now inspect 'intermediate' in the debugger:
+    # - Check tensor shapes and values
+    # - Verify expected transformations
+    # - Look for unexpected changes
+```
+
+During the debugger session, you can:
+
+- Examine `intermediate[TransitionKey.OBSERVATION]` to see observation data
+- Check `intermediate[TransitionKey.ACTION]` for action transformations
+- Inspect any part of the transition to understand what each step does
+
+Step-through debugging is perfect for understanding the _data_ transformations, but what about the _structure_ of that data? While hooks and step-through help you debug runtime behavior, you also need to ensure your pipeline produces data in the format expected by downstream components. This is where feature contract validation comes in.
+
+## Validating Feature Contracts
+
+Feature contracts define what data structure your pipeline expects as input and produces as output.
+Validating these contracts helps catch mismatches early.
+
+### Understanding Feature Contracts
+
+Each processor step has a `transform_features()` method that describes how it changes the data structure:
+
+```python
+# Get the expected output features from your pipeline
+initial_features = {
+    PipelineFeatureType.OBSERVATION: {
+        "observation.state": PolicyFeature(type=FeatureType.STATE, shape=(7,)),
+        "observation.image": PolicyFeature(type=FeatureType.IMAGE, shape=(3, 224, 224))
+    },
+    PipelineFeatureType.ACTION: {
+        "action": PolicyFeature(type=FeatureType.ACTION, shape=(4,))
+    }
+}
+
+# Check what your pipeline will output
+output_features = processor.transform_features(initial_features)
+
+print("Input features:")
+for feature_type, features in initial_features.items():
+    print(f"  {feature_type}:")
+    for key, feature in features.items():
+        print(f"    {key}: {feature.type.value}, shape={feature.shape}")
+
+print("\nOutput features:")
+for feature_type, features in output_features.items():
+    print(f"  {feature_type}:")
+    for key, feature in features.items():
+        print(f"    {key}: {feature.type.value}, shape={feature.shape}")
+```
+
+### Verifying Expected Features
+
+Check that your pipeline produces the features you expect:
+
+```python
+# Define what features you expect the pipeline to produce
+expected_keys = ["observation.state", "observation.image", "action"]
+
+print("Validating feature contract...")
+for expected_key in expected_keys:
+    found = False
+    for feature_type, features in output_features.items():
+        if expected_key in features:
+            feature = features[expected_key]
+            print(f"✅ {expected_key}: {feature.type.value}, shape={feature.shape}")
+            found = True
+            break
+
+    if not found:
+        print(f"❌ Missing expected feature: {expected_key}")
+```
+
+This validation helps ensure your pipeline will work correctly with downstream components that expect specific data structures.
+
+## Summary
+
+Now that you understand the three debugging approaches, you can tackle any pipeline issue systematically:
+
+1. **Hooks** - For runtime monitoring and validation without modifying pipeline code
+2. **Step-through** - For inspecting intermediate states and understanding transformations
+3. **Feature validation** - For ensuring data structure contracts are met
+
+**When to use each approach:**
+
+- Start with **step-through debugging** when you need to understand what your pipeline does or when something unexpected happens
+- Add **hooks** for continuous monitoring during development and production to catch issues automatically
+- Use **feature validation** before deployment to ensure your pipeline works with downstream components
+
+These three tools work together to give you the complete observability that complex pipelines naturally lack. With hooks watching for issues, step-through helping you understand behavior, and feature validation ensuring compatibility, you'll be able to debug any pipeline confidently and efficiently.

+/>
+
+The EarthRover Mini Plus is a fully open source mobile robot that connects through the cloud using the Frodobots SDK. This lets you control the robot and record datasets for training AI models.
+
+## What You Need
+
+### Hardware
+
+- EarthRover Mini robot
+- Computer with Python 3.12 or newer
+- Internet connection
+
+### Setting Up the Frodobots SDK
+
+The robot needs the [Frodobots SDK](https://github.com/frodobots-org/earth-rovers-sdk) running on your computer. Here's how:
+
+1. Download and install the SDK:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/frodobots-org/earth-rovers-sdk.git
+cd earth-rovers-sdk
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+2. Save Credentials:
+
+Write your .env variables with the SDK API key and bot name provided by the Frodobots team.
+
+```bash
+SDK_API_TOKEN=your_sdk_api_token_here
+BOT_SLUG=your_bot_slug_here
+CHROME_EXECUTABLE_PATH=/path/to/chrome_or_chromium
+# Default value is MAP_ZOOM_LEVEL=18 https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Zoom_levels
+MAP_ZOOM_LEVEL=18
+MISSION_SLUG=your_mission_slug_here
+# Image quality between 0.1 and 1.0 (default: 0.8)
+# Recommended: 0.8 for better performance
+IMAGE_QUALITY=0.8
+# Image format: jpeg, png or webp (default: png)
+# Recommended: jpeg for better performance and lower bandwidth usage
+IMAGE_FORMAT=jpeg
+```
+
+3. Start the SDK:
+
+```bash
+hypercorn main:app --reload
+```
+
+4. Open your web browser and go to `http://localhost:8000`, then click "Join"
+
+The SDK gives you:
+
+- Live video from front and rear cameras
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The SDK must be running before you can use the robot.
+
+## Install LeRobot
+
+Follow our [Installation Guide](./installation) to install LeRobot.
+
+In addition to the base installation, install the EarthRover Mini with hardware dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[hardware]"
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+The robot uses the internet to communicate:
+
+- **Movement commands**: Sent through the SDK
+- **Camera video**: Received from the SDK
+- **Robot info**: Battery, location, speed from the SDK
+
+You don't need to plug anything in - it all works through the SDK.
+
+## Calibration
+
+No calibration needed! The robot is ready to use as soon as the SDK is running.
+
+## Controlling the Robot
+
+You control the robot using your keyboard - just like playing a video game with WASD keys.
+
+### Keyboard Controls
+
+| Key | Action                           |
+| --- | -------------------------------- |
+| W   | Move forward                     |
+| S   | Move backward                    |
+| A   | Turn left (with forward motion)  |
+| D   | Turn right (with forward motion) |
+| Q   | Rotate left in place             |
+| E   | Rotate right in place            |
+| X   | Stop all movement                |
+| +/= | Increase speed                   |
+| -   | Decrease speed                   |
+| ESC | Disconnect                       |
+
+### Speed Settings
+
+You can adjust how fast the robot moves:
+
+- **Forward/backward speed**: Default is full speed (1.0)
+- **Turning speed**: Default is full speed (1.0)
+- **Speed changes**: Use +/- keys to adjust by 0.1 each time
+
+### Try It Out
+
+Test driving the robot before recording data:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.robots.earthrover_mini_plus import EarthRoverMiniPlus, EarthRoverMiniPlusConfig
+from lerobot.teleoperators.keyboard import KeyboardRoverTeleop, KeyboardRoverTeleopConfig
+
+# Initialize robot
+robot_config = EarthRoverMiniPlusConfig()
+robot = EarthRoverMiniPlus(robot_config)
+
+# Initialize teleoperator
+teleop_config = KeyboardRoverTeleopConfig(
+    linear_speed=1.0,
+    angular_speed=1.0,
+    speed_increment=0.1
+)
+teleop = KeyboardRoverTeleop(teleop_config)
+
+# Connect
+robot.connect()
+teleop.connect()
+
+# Teleoperate (use keyboard controls)
+try:
+    while True:
+        action = teleop.get_action()
+        robot.send_action(action)
+except KeyboardInterrupt:
+    pass
+finally:
+    robot.disconnect()
+    teleop.disconnect()
+```
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If you're using a Mac, you might need to give Terminal permission to access your keyboard for teleoperation. Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Input Monitoring and check the box for Terminal.
+
+## Recording Data
+
+Once you can drive the robot well, you can start recording data to train AI models. The system records:
+
+- **What you do**: How you move the robot (forward, backward, turning)
+- **What the robot sees**:
+  - Videos from both cameras
+  - Robot speed and direction
+  - Battery level and location
+  - GPS position and signal
+  - Other sensor data
+- **When it happened**: Timestamps for everything
+
+### Setting Up Hugging Face
+
+We use Hugging Face to store your data online. First, log in with your token from [Hugging Face settings](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens):

+```
+
+Store your Hugging Face username:
+
+```bash
+HF_USER=$(hf auth whoami | awk -F': *' 'NR==1 {print $2}')
+echo $HF_USER
+```
+
+### Start Recording
+
+Use the standard recording command:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-record \
+    --robot.type=earthrover_mini_plus \

+# Environment Processors
+
+Environment processors are a critical layer in LeRobot's data processing architecture that handle **environment-specific** transformations, separate from policy-specific processing. This separation of concerns enables cleaner code, better modularity, and easier experimentation with different environments and policies.
+
+## Why Environment Processors?
+
+When working with different robot environments (LIBERO, MetaWorld, Aloha, etc.), each environment often has unique data formats, coordinate systems, and conventions that need standardization **before** policy processing. Without environment processors, these transformations would be:
+
+1. **Hardcoded in environment code** - Making it difficult to experiment with different state representations
+2. **Duplicated across policies** - Each policy would need to handle environment-specific quirks
+3. **Mixed with policy logic** - Violating separation of concerns and making debugging harder
+
+Environment processors solve this by providing a **dedicated processing layer** between raw environment observations and policy inputs.
+
+## The Processing Pipeline
+
+Here's how data flows through the complete processing pipeline during evaluation:
+
+```python
+# In lerobot_eval.py rollout() function:
+
+# 1. Raw environment observation (numpy arrays, various formats)
+raw_observation = env.step(action)
+
+# 2. Convert numpy to torch, normalize images [0,1]
+observation = preprocess_observation(raw_observation)
+
+# 3. Add task metadata (for multi-task environments)
+observation = add_envs_task(env, observation)
+
+# 4. ENVIRONMENT-SPECIFIC preprocessing (NEW!)
+#    - Flatten robot states
+#    - Rotate images to match dataset conventions
+#    - Handle environment-specific coordinate systems
+observation = env_preprocessor(observation)
+
+# 5. POLICY-SPECIFIC preprocessing
+#    - Normalize with dataset statistics
+#    - Add batch dimensions
+#    - Move to GPU
+#    - Tokenize language instructions
+observation = preprocessor(observation)
+
+# 6. Policy inference
+action = policy.select_action(observation)
+
+# 7. POLICY-SPECIFIC postprocessing
+#    - Unnormalize actions
+#    - Remove batch dimensions
+action = postprocessor(action)
+
+# 8. ENVIRONMENT-SPECIFIC postprocessing (NEW!)
+#    - Convert action formats if needed
+#    - Apply environment-specific constraints
+action_transition = {"action": action}
+action_transition = env_postprocessor(action_transition)
+action = action_transition["action"]
+
+# 9. Execute in environment
+env.step(action)
+```
+
+## The Benefits
+
+### 1. **Separation of Concerns**
+
+Environment processors handle transformations specific to the **environment's data format**, while policy processors handle transformations specific to the **model's requirements**.
+
+```python
+# ❌ Before: Mixed concerns
+class LiberoVLAPolicy:
+    def preprocess(self, obs):
+        # Environment-specific: Flatten robot state (shouldn't be in policy!)
+        state = self._flatten_robot_state(obs["robot_state"])
+        # Policy-specific: Normalize with dataset stats
+        state = self.normalizer(state)
+        return state
+
+# ✅ After: Clear separation
+# Environment processor: Handles LIBERO's nested robot state
+env_preprocessor = LiberoProcessorStep()  # Flattens robot_state
+
+# Policy processor: Handles model requirements
+policy_preprocessor = NormalizerProcessorStep(stats=dataset_stats)
+```
+
+### 2. **Flexibility and Reusability**
+
+The same policy can work with different environment processors, and the same environment processor can work with different policies:
+
+````python
+# Use SmolVLA policy with LIBERO environment
+# Use SmolVLA policy with LIBERO environment
+libero_preprocessor, libero_postprocessor = make_env_pre_post_processors(
+    env_cfg=libero_cfg,
+    policy_cfg=smolvla_cfg,
+)
+smolvla_preprocessor, smolvla_postprocessor = make_pre_post_processors(smolvla_cfg)
+# Or use ACT policy with the same LIBERO environment
+libero_preprocessor, libero_postprocessor = make_env_pre_post_processors(
+    env_cfg=libero_cfg,
+    policy_cfg=act_cfg,
+)
+act_preprocessor, act_postprocessor = make_pre_post_processors(act_cfg)
+```python
+# Use SmolVLA policy with LIBERO environment
+libero_preprocessor, libero_postprocessor = make_env_pre_post_processors(
+    env_cfg=libero_cfg,
+    policy_cfg=smolvla_cfg,
+)
+smolvla_preprocessor, smolvla_postprocessor = make_pre_post_processors(smolvla_cfg)
+
+# Or use ACT policy with the same LIBERO environment
+libero_preprocessor, libero_postprocessor = make_env_pre_post_processors(
+    env_cfg=libero_cfg,
+    policy_cfg=act_cfg,
+)
+act_preprocessor, act_postprocessor = make_pre_post_processors(act_cfg)
+
+### 3. **Easier Experimentation**
+
+Want to try different state representations for LIBERO? Just create a new processor:
+
+```python
+# Original: 8D state (pos + quat→axisangle + gripper)
+@ProcessorStepRegistry.register("libero_processor")
+class LiberoProcessorStep(ObservationProcessorStep):
+    def _process_observation(self, obs):
+        eef_pos = robot_state["eef"]["pos"]          # 3D
+        eef_axisangle = quat2axisangle(quat)         # 3D
+        gripper = robot_state["gripper"]["qpos"]     # 2D
+        state = torch.cat([eef_pos, eef_axisangle, gripper], dim=-1)  # 8D
+        return state
+
+# Experiment: Add velocity for better control
+@ProcessorStepRegistry.register("libero_velocity_processor")
+class LiberoVelocityProcessorStep(ObservationProcessorStep):
+    def _process_observation(self, obs):
+        # Include velocities for 14D state
+        eef_pos = robot_state["eef"]["pos"]          # 3D
+        eef_axisangle = quat2axisangle(quat)         # 3D
+        eef_vel = robot_state["eef"]["vel"]          # 3D  (NEW)
+        gripper_pos = robot_state["gripper"]["qpos"] # 2D
+        gripper_vel = robot_state["gripper"]["qvel"] # 3D  (NEW)
+        state = torch.cat([eef_pos, eef_axisangle, eef_vel,
+                          gripper_pos, gripper_vel], dim=-1)  # 14D
+        return state
+````
+
+### 4. **Cleaner Environment Code**
+
+Environments expose **all available data** without needing to know what downstream models will use:
+
+```python
+# LIBERO environment exposes full robot state
+observation = {
+    "pixels": {"image": img, "image2": img2},
+    "robot_state": {
+        "eef": {"pos": ..., "quat": ..., "vel": ..., "mat": ..., "axisangle": ...},
+        "gripper": {"qpos": ..., "qvel": ...},
+        "joints": {"pos": ..., "vel": ...}
+    }
+}
+
+# Environment processor decides what to use
+# Policy processor handles model-specific transformations
+```
+
+## Using Environment Processors
+
+### Factory Function
+
+The `make_env_pre_post_processors` function follows the same pattern as `make_pre_post_processors` for policies:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.envs import make_env_pre_post_processors, PushtEnv
+from lerobot.envs.configs import LiberoEnv
+
+# For LIBERO: Returns LiberoProcessorStep in preprocessor
+libero_cfg = LiberoEnv(task="libero_spatial", camera_name=["agentview"])
+env_preprocessor, env_postprocessor = make_env_pre_post_processors(libero_cfg)
+
+# For other environments: Returns identity processors (no-op)
+pusht_cfg = PushtEnv()
+env_preprocessor, env_postprocessor = make_env_pre_post_processors(pusht_cfg)
+```
+
+### Implementation in `envs/factory.py`
+
+```python
+def make_env_pre_post_processors(
+    env_cfg: EnvConfig,
+) -> tuple[
+    PolicyProcessorPipeline[dict[str, Any], dict[str, Any]],
+    PolicyProcessorPipeline[dict[str, Any], dict[str, Any]],
+]:
+    """
+    Create preprocessor and postprocessor pipelines for environment observations.
+
+    Args:
+        env_cfg: The configuration of the environment.
+
+    Returns:
+        A tuple containing:
+            - preprocessor: Pipeline that processes environment observations
+            - postprocessor: Pipeline that processes environment outputs
+    """
+    # For LIBERO environments, add the LiberoProcessorStep to preprocessor
+    if isinstance(env_cfg, LiberoEnv) or "libero" in env_cfg.type:
+        preprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[LiberoProcessorStep()])
+    else:
+        # For all other environments, return an identity preprocessor
+        preprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[])
+
+    # Postprocessor is currently identity for all environments
+    # Future: Could add environment-specific action transformations
+    postprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[])
+
+    return preprocessor, postprocessor
+```
+
+### Integration in Evaluation
+
+In `lerobot_eval.py`, the environment processors are created once and used throughout:
+
+```python
+def eval_main(cfg: EvalPipelineConfig):
+    # Create environment
+    envs = make_env(cfg.env, n_envs=cfg.eval.batch_size)
+
+    # Create policy
+    policy = make_policy(cfg=cfg.policy, env_cfg=cfg.env)
+
+    # Create policy processors
+    preprocessor, postprocessor = make_pre_post_processors(
+        policy_cfg=cfg.policy,
+        pretrained_path=cfg.policy.pretrained_path,
+    )
+
+    # Create environment processors (NEW!)
+    env_preprocessor, env_postprocessor = make_env_pre_post_processors(env_cfg=cfg.env)
+
+    # Run evaluation with both processor types
+    eval_policy_all(
+        envs=envs,
+        policy=policy,
+        env_preprocessor=env_preprocessor,      # Environment-specific
+        env_postprocessor=env_postprocessor,    # Environment-specific
+        preprocessor=preprocessor,              # Policy-specific
+        postprocessor=postprocessor,            # Policy-specific
+        n_episodes=cfg.eval.n_episodes,
+    )
+```
+
+## Example: LIBERO Environment Processor
+
+The `LiberoProcessorStep` demonstrates a real-world environment processor:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.processor import ObservationProcessorStep
+
+@dataclass
+@ProcessorStepRegistry.register(name="libero_processor")
+class LiberoProcessorStep(ObservationProcessorStep):
+    """
+    Processes LIBERO observations into the LeRobot format.
+
+    **State Processing:**
+    - Extracts end-effector position (3D)
+    - Converts quaternion to axis-angle representation (3D)
+    - Extracts gripper joint positions (2D)
+    - Concatenates into 8D state vector
+
+    **Image Processing:**
+    - Rotates images 180° to match HuggingFaceVLA/libero convention
+    """
+
+    def _process_observation(self, observation):
+        processed_obs = observation.copy()
+
+        # Process images: Flip 180° for camera convention
+        for key in list(processed_obs.keys()):
+            if key.startswith("observation.images."):
+                img = processed_obs[key]
+                img = torch.flip(img, dims=[2, 3])  # Flip H and W
+                processed_obs[key] = img
+
+        # Process robot_state: Flatten to 8D vector
+        if "observation.robot_state" in processed_obs:
+            robot_state = processed_obs.pop("observation.robot_state")
+
+            eef_pos = robot_state["eef"]["pos"]           # (B, 3)
+            eef_quat = robot_state["eef"]["quat"]         # (B, 4)
+            gripper_qpos = robot_state["gripper"]["qpos"] # (B, 2)
+
+            # Convert quaternion to axis-angle
+            eef_axisangle = self._quat2axisangle(eef_quat)  # (B, 3)
+
+            # Concatenate into single state vector
+            state = torch.cat((eef_pos, eef_axisangle, gripper_qpos), dim=-1)
+            state = state.float()
+
+            processed_obs["observation.state"] = state
+
+        return processed_obs
+```
+
+### Why These Transformations?
+
+1. **Image Rotation**: The HuggingFaceVLA/libero dataset has images rotated 180° from the raw LIBERO simulator. The processor handles this convention mismatch so policies trained on the dataset work seamlessly.
+
+2. **State Flattening**: The raw LIBERO environment exposes nested dictionaries with all available state information (position, quaternion, velocity, matrix representation, etc.). The processor:
+   - Selects the relevant components (pos, quat, gripper)
+   - Converts quaternion to axis-angle (more suitable for learning)
+   - Flattens to a single 8D vector that policies expect
+
+3. **Flexibility**: The environment still exposes **all** raw data. If you want to try different state representations (e.g., including velocities, using matrix representation instead of axis-angle), you can create a new processor without modifying the environment code.
+
+## Adding Environment Processors for New Environments
+
+To add environment processors for a new environment:
+
+### 1. Create the Processor Step
+
+```python
+# In src/lerobot/processor/env_processor.py
+
+@dataclass
+@ProcessorStepRegistry.register(name="myenv_processor")
+class MyEnvProcessorStep(ObservationProcessorStep):
+    """Process observations from MyEnv."""
+
+    def _process_observation(self, observation):
+        processed = observation.copy()
+
+        # Your environment-specific transformations
+        if "myenv.specific.state" in processed:
+            state = processed.pop("myenv.specific.state")
+            # Transform to standard format
+            processed["observation.state"] = self._transform_state(state)
+
+        return processed
+```
+
+### 2. Update Your `EnvConfig` Subclass
+
+```python
+# In src/lerobot/envs/factory.py
+
+def make_env_pre_post_processors(env_cfg: EnvConfig):
+    if isinstance(env_cfg, LiberoEnv) or "libero" in env_cfg.type:
+        preprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[LiberoProcessorStep()])
+    elif isinstance(env_cfg, MyEnvConfig) or "myenv" in env_cfg.type:
+        preprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[MyEnvProcessorStep()])
+    else:
+        preprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[])
+
+    postprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[])
+    return preprocessor, postprocessor
+```
+
+### 3. Use in Evaluation
+
+No changes needed! The evaluation script automatically uses the appropriate processor:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+    --policy.path=lerobot/my_policy \
+    --env.type=myenv \  # Automatically uses MyEnvProcessorStep
+    --eval.n_episodes=10
+```
+
+## Future: Environment Postprocessors
+
+Currently, postprocessors are identity (no-op) for all environments. Future use cases include:
+
+### Action Space Transformations
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class MyEnvActionPostprocessor(ProcessorStep):
+    """Convert policy actions to environment-specific format."""
+
+    def __call__(self, transition: EnvTransition) -> EnvTransition:
+        action = transition["action"]
+
+        # Example: Convert from Cartesian to joint space
+        if self.action_space == "joint":
+            action = self.ik_solver(action)
+
+        # Example: Apply environment-specific safety limits
+        action = torch.clamp(action, self.min_action, self.max_action)
+
+        transition["action"] = action
+        return transition
+```
+
+### Coordinate System Conversions
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class CoordinateTransformPostprocessor(ProcessorStep):
+    """Transform actions between coordinate systems."""
+
+    def __call__(self, transition: EnvTransition) -> EnvTransition:
+        action = transition["action"]
+
+        # Example: Policy outputs in world frame, env expects base frame
+        action = self.world_to_base_transform(action)
+
+        transition["action"] = action
+        return transition
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Keep environment processors simple**: They should only handle environment-specific data format issues, not complex learning-related transformations.
+
+2. **Use policy processors for model requirements**: Normalization, batching, device placement, and tokenization belong in policy processors.
+
+3. **Expose all data from environments**: Let processors decide what to use rather than hardcoding choices in the environment.
+
+4. **Document conventions**: Clearly document any coordinate system conventions, camera orientations, or data formats that your processor handles.
+
+5. **Test independently**: Environment processors should be testable without loading full policies or environments.
+
+## Summary
+
+Environment processors provide a **clean separation** between environment-specific data transformations and policy-specific model requirements. This architecture:
+
+- ✅ Enables easy experimentation with different state representations
+- ✅ Allows policies to work seamlessly across different environments
+- ✅ Keeps environment code focused on simulation/hardware interface
+- ✅ Makes processor pipelines more maintainable and debuggable
+- ✅ Follows the single responsibility principle
+
+The key insight: **Environments define data formats, processors standardize them, policies consume standardized data.** Each layer has a clear, focused responsibility.

+# Loading Environments from the Hub
+
+The **EnvHub** feature allows you to load simulation environments directly from the Hugging Face Hub with a single line of code. This unlocks a powerful new model for collaboration: instead of environments being locked away inside monolithic libraries, anyone can publish custom environments and share them with the community.
+
+## What is EnvHub?
+
+EnvHub lets you create custom robotics simulation environments with your own robot models and scenarios, and make them easily usable by anyone through the LeRobot framework.
+
+EnvHub packages are stored on the Hugging Face Hub, and can be seamlessly pulled and used in your AI robotics projects through LeRobot with a single line of code.
+
+Thanks to EnvHub, you can:
+
+1. **Create and publish environments** to the Hugging Face Hub as Git repositories, and distribute complex physics simulations without packaging hassles
+2. **Load environments** dynamically, without installing them as packages
+3. **Version and track** environment changes using Git semantics
+4. **Discover** new simulation tasks shared by the community
+
+This design means you can go from discovering an interesting environment on the Hub to running experiments in seconds, or create your own custom robot and environment without worrying about dependency conflicts or complex installation procedures.
+
+When you create an EnvHub package, you can build anything you want inside it and use any simulation tool you like: this is your own space to play with. The only requirement is that the package contains an `env.py` file that defines the environment and allows LeRobot to load and use your EnvHub package.
+
+This `env.py` file needs to expose a small API so LeRobot can load and run it. In particular, you must provide a `make_env(n_envs: int = 1, use_async_envs: bool = False)` or `make_env(n_envs: int = 1, use_async_envs: bool = False, cfg: EnvConfig)` function, which is the main entry point for LeRobot. It should return one of:
+
+- A `gym.vector.VectorEnv` (most common)
+- A single `gym.Env` (will be automatically wrapped)
+- A dict mapping `{suite_name: {task_id: VectorEnv}}` (for multi-task benchmarks)
+
+You can also pass an `EnvConfig` object to `make_env` to configure the environment (e.g. the number of environments, task, camera name, initial states, control mode, episode length, etc.).
+
+Finally, your environment must implement the standard `gym.vector.VectorEnv` interface so it works with LeRobot, including methods like `reset` and `step`.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Loading an environment from the Hub is as simple as:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.envs import make_env
+
+# Load a hub environment (requires explicit consent to run remote code)
+env = make_env("lerobot/cartpole-env", trust_remote_code=True)
+```
+
+<Tip warning={true}>
+  **Security Notice**: Loading environments from the Hub executes Python code
+  from third-party repositories. Only use `trust_remote_code=True` with
+  repositories you trust. We strongly recommend pinning to a specific commit
+  hash for reproducibility and security.
+</Tip>
+
+## Repository Structure
+
+To make your environment loadable from the Hub, your repository must contain at minimum:
+
+### Required Files
+
+**`env.py`** (or custom Python file)
+
+- Must expose a `make_env(n_envs: int, use_async_envs: bool)` function
+- This function should return one of:
+  - A `gym.vector.VectorEnv` (most common)
+  - A single `gym.Env` (will be automatically wrapped)
+  - A dict mapping `{suite_name: {task_id: VectorEnv}}` (for multi-task benchmarks)
+
+### Optional Files
+
+**`requirements.txt`**
+
+- List any additional dependencies your environment needs
+- Users will need to install these manually before loading your environment
+
+**`README.md`**
+
+- Document your environment: what task it implements, observation/action spaces, rewards, etc.
+- Include usage examples and any special setup instructions
+
+**`.gitignore`**
+
+- Exclude unnecessary files from your repository
+
+### Example Repository Structure
+
+```
+my-environment-repo/
+├── env.py                 # Main environment definition (required)
+├── requirements.txt       # Dependencies (optional)
+├── README.md             # Documentation (recommended)
+├── assets/               # Images, videos, etc. (optional)
+│   └── demo.gif
+└── configs/              # Config files if needed (optional)
+    └── task_config.yaml
+```
+
+## Creating Your Environment Repository
+
+### Step 1: Define Your Environment
+
+Create an `env.py` file with a `make_env` function:
+
+```python
+# env.py
+import gymnasium as gym
+
+def make_env(n_envs: int = 1, use_async_envs: bool = False):
+    """
+    Create vectorized environments for your custom task.
+
+    Args:
+        n_envs: Number of parallel environments
+        use_async_envs: Whether to use AsyncVectorEnv or SyncVectorEnv
+
+    Returns:
+        gym.vector.VectorEnv or dict mapping suite names to vectorized envs
+    """
+    def _make_single_env():
+        # Create your custom environment
+        return gym.make("CartPole-v1")
+
+    # Choose vector environment type
+    env_cls = gym.vector.AsyncVectorEnv if use_async_envs else gym.vector.SyncVectorEnv
+
+    # Create vectorized environment
+    vec_env = env_cls([_make_single_env for _ in range(n_envs)])
+
+    return vec_env
+```
+
+### Step 2: Test Locally
+
+Before uploading, test your environment locally:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.envs.utils import _load_module_from_path, _call_make_env, _normalize_hub_result
+
+# Load your module
+module = _load_module_from_path("./env.py")
+
+# Test the make_env function
+result = _call_make_env(module, n_envs=2, use_async_envs=False)
+normalized = _normalize_hub_result(result)
+
+# Verify it works
+suite_name = next(iter(normalized))
+env = normalized[suite_name][0]
+obs, info = env.reset()
+print(f"Observation shape: {obs.shape if hasattr(obs, 'shape') else type(obs)}")
+env.close()
+```
+
+### Step 3: Upload to the Hub
+
+Upload your repository to Hugging Face:
+
+```bash
+# Install huggingface_hub if needed
+pip install huggingface_hub
+
+# Login to Hugging Face
+hf auth login
+
+# Create a new repository
+hf repo create my-org/my-custom-env
+
+# Initialize git and push
+git init
+git add .
+git commit -m "Initial environment implementation"
+git remote add origin https://huggingface.co/my-org/my-custom-env
+git push -u origin main
+```
+
+Alternatively, use the `huggingface_hub` Python API:
+
+```python
+from huggingface_hub import HfApi
+
+api = HfApi()
+
+# Create repository
+api.create_repo("my-custom-env", repo_type="space")
+
+# Upload files
+api.upload_folder(
+    folder_path="./my-env-folder",
+    repo_id="username/my-custom-env",
+    repo_type="space",
+)
+```
+
+## Loading Environments from the Hub
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```python
+from lerobot.envs import make_env
+
+# Load from the hub
+envs_dict = make_env(
+    "username/my-custom-env",
+    n_envs=4,
+    trust_remote_code=True
+)
+
+# Access the environment
+suite_name = next(iter(envs_dict))
+env = envs_dict[suite_name][0]
+
+# Use it like any gym environment
+obs, info = env.reset()
+action = env.action_space.sample()
+obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(action)
+```
+
+### Advanced: Pinning to Specific Versions
+
+For reproducibility and security, pin to a specific Git revision:
+
+```python
+# Pin to a specific branch
+env = make_env("username/my-env@main", trust_remote_code=True)
+
+# Pin to a specific commit (recommended for papers/experiments)
+env = make_env("username/my-env@abc123def456", trust_remote_code=True)
+
+# Pin to a tag
+env = make_env("username/my-env@v1.0.0", trust_remote_code=True)
+```
+
+### Custom File Paths
+
+If your environment definition is not in `env.py`:
+
+```python
+# Load from a custom file
+env = make_env("username/my-env:custom_env.py", trust_remote_code=True)
+
+# Combine with version pinning
+env = make_env("username/my-env@v1.0:envs/task_a.py", trust_remote_code=True)
+```
+
+### Async Environments
+
+For better performance with multiple environments:
+
+```python
+envs_dict = make_env(
+    "username/my-env",
+    n_envs=8,
+    use_async_envs=True,  # Use AsyncVectorEnv for parallel execution
+    trust_remote_code=True
+)
+```
+
+## URL Format Reference
+
+The hub URL format supports several patterns:
+
+| Pattern              | Description                    | Example                                |
+| -------------------- | ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------- |
+| `user/repo`          | Load `env.py` from main branch | `make_env("lerobot/pusht-env")`        |
+| `user/repo@revision` | Load from specific revision    | `make_env("lerobot/pusht-env@main")`   |
+| `user/repo:path`     | Load custom file               | `make_env("lerobot/envs:pusht.py")`    |
+| `user/repo@rev:path` | Revision + custom file         | `make_env("lerobot/envs@v1:pusht.py")` |
+
+## Multi-Task Environments
+
+For benchmarks with multiple tasks (like LIBERO), return a nested dictionary:
+
+```python
+def make_env(n_envs: int = 1, use_async_envs: bool = False):
+    env_cls = gym.vector.AsyncVectorEnv if use_async_envs else gym.vector.SyncVectorEnv
+
+    # Return dict: {suite_name: {task_id: VectorEnv}}
+    return {
+        "suite_1": {
+            0: env_cls([lambda: gym.make("Task1-v0") for _ in range(n_envs)]),
+            1: env_cls([lambda: gym.make("Task2-v0") for _ in range(n_envs)]),
+        },
+        "suite_2": {
+            0: env_cls([lambda: gym.make("Task3-v0") for _ in range(n_envs)]),
+        }
+    }
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+<Tip warning={true}>
+  **Important**: The `trust_remote_code=True` flag is required to execute
+  environment code from the Hub. This is by design for security.
+</Tip>
+
+When loading environments from the Hub:
+
+1. **Review the code first**: Visit the repository and inspect `env.py` before loading
+2. **Pin to commits**: Use specific commit hashes for reproducibility
+3. **Check dependencies**: Review `requirements.txt` for suspicious packages
+4. **Use trusted sources**: Prefer official organizations or well-known researchers
+5. **Sandbox if needed**: Run untrusted code in isolated environments (containers, VMs)
+
+Example of safe usage:
+
+```python
+# ❌ BAD: Loading without inspection
+env = make_env("random-user/untrusted-env", trust_remote_code=True)
+
+# ✅ GOOD: Review code, then pin to specific commit
+# 1. Visit https://huggingface.co/trusted-org/verified-env
+# 2. Review the env.py file
+# 3. Copy the commit hash
+env = make_env("trusted-org/verified-env@a1b2c3d4", trust_remote_code=True)
+```
+
+## Example: CartPole from the Hub
+
+Here's a complete example using the reference CartPole environment:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.envs import make_env
+import numpy as np
+
+# Load the environment
+envs_dict = make_env("lerobot/cartpole-env", n_envs=4, trust_remote_code=True)
+
+# Get the vectorized environment
+suite_name = next(iter(envs_dict))
+env = envs_dict[suite_name][0]
+
+# Run a simple episode
+obs, info = env.reset()
+done = np.zeros(env.num_envs, dtype=bool)
+total_reward = np.zeros(env.num_envs)
+
+while not done.all():
+    # Random policy
+    action = env.action_space.sample()
+    obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(action)
+    total_reward += reward
+    done = terminated | truncated
+
+print(f"Average reward: {total_reward.mean():.2f}")
+env.close()
+```
+
+## Benefits of EnvHub
+
+### For Environment Authors
+
+- **Easy distribution**: No PyPI packaging required
+- **Version control**: Use Git for environment versioning
+- **Rapid iteration**: Push updates instantly
+- **Documentation**: Hub README renders beautifully
+- **Community**: Reach LeRobot users directly
+
+### For Researchers
+
+- **Quick experiments**: Load any environment in one line
+- **Reproducibility**: Pin to specific commits
+- **Discovery**: Browse environments on the Hub
+- **No conflicts**: No need to install conflicting packages
+
+### For the Community
+
+- **Growing ecosystem**: More diverse simulation tasks
+- **Standardization**: Common `make_env` API
+- **Collaboration**: Fork and improve existing environments
+- **Accessibility**: Lower barrier to sharing research
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Refusing to execute remote code"
+
+You must explicitly pass `trust_remote_code=True`:
+
+```python
+env = make_env("user/repo", trust_remote_code=True)
+```
+
+### "Module X not found"
+
+The hub environment has dependencies you need to install:
+
+```bash
+# Check the repo's requirements.txt and install dependencies
+pip install gymnasium numpy
+```
+
+### "make_env not found in module"
+
+Your `env.py` must expose a `make_env` function:
+
+```python
+def make_env(n_envs: int, use_async_envs: bool):
+    # Your implementation
+    pass
+```
+
+### Environment returns wrong type
+
+The `make_env` function must return:
+
+- A `gym.vector.VectorEnv`, or
+- A single `gym.Env`, or
+- A dict `{suite_name: {task_id: VectorEnv}}`
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Document your environment**: Include observation/action space descriptions, reward structure, and termination conditions in your README
+2. **Add requirements.txt**: List all dependencies with versions
+3. **Test thoroughly**: Verify your environment works locally before pushing
+4. **Use semantic versioning**: Tag releases with version numbers
+5. **Add examples**: Include usage examples in your README
+6. **Keep it simple**: Minimize dependencies when possible
+7. **License your work**: Add a LICENSE file to clarify usage terms
+
+## Future Directions
+
+The EnvHub ecosystem enables exciting possibilities:
+
+- **GPU-accelerated physics**: Share Isaac Gym or Brax environments
+- **Photorealistic rendering**: Distribute environments with advanced graphics
+- **Multi-agent scenarios**: Complex interaction tasks
+- **Real-world simulators**: Digital twins of physical setups
+- **Procedural generation**: Infinite task variations
+- **Domain randomization**: Pre-configured DR pipelines
+
+As more researchers and developers contribute, the diversity and quality of available environments will grow, benefiting the entire robotics learning community.

+    --env.video_interval=15 \
+    --env.state_keys=robot_joint_pos \
+    --env.camera_keys=robot_pov_cam_rgb \
+    --trust_remote_code=True \
+    --eval.batch_size=1
+```
+
+<Tip>
+  To change the number of parallel environments, use the ```--eval.batch_size```
+  flag.
+</Tip>
+
+### What to Expect
+
+During evaluation, you will see a progress bar showing the running success rate:
+
+```
+Stepping through eval batches:   8%|██████▍    | 4/50 [00:45<08:06, 10.58s/it, running_success_rate=25.0%]
+```
+
+### Video Recording
+
+To enable video recording during evaluation, add the following flags to your command:
+
+```bash
+--env.video=true \
+--env.video_length=15 \
+--env.video_interval=15
+```
+
+For more details on video recording, see the [IsaacLab Recording Documentation](https://isaac-sim.github.io/IsaacLab/main/source/how-to/record_video.html).
+
+<Tip>
+When running headless with `--env.headless=true`, you must also enable cameras explicitly for camera enabled environments:
+
+```bash
+--env.headless=true --env.enable_cameras=true
+```
+
+</Tip>
+
+### Output Directory
+
+Evaluation videos are saved to the output directory with the following structure:
+
+```
+outputs/eval/<date>/<timestamp>_<env>_<policy>/videos/<task>_<env_id>/eval_episode_<n>.mp4
+```
+
+For example:
+
+```
+outputs/eval/2026-01-02/14-38-01_isaaclab_arena_smolvla/videos/gr1_microwave_0/eval_episode_0.mp4
+```

+
+### Using Environment Hub directly for advanced usage
+
+Create a file called `test_env_load_arena.py` or [download from the EnvHub](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/isaaclab-arena-envs/blob/main/tests/test_env_load_arena.py):
+
+```python
+import logging
+from dataclasses import asdict
+from pprint import pformat
+import torch
+import tqdm
+from lerobot.configs import parser
+from lerobot.configs.eval import EvalPipelineConfig
+
+

+        trust_remote_code=True,
+    )
+    env = next(iter(env_dict.values()))[0]
+    env.reset()
+    for _ in tqdm.tqdm(range(cfg.env.episode_length)):
+        with torch.inference_mode():
+            actions = env.action_space.sample()
+            obs, rewards, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(actions)

+                obs, info = env.reset()
+    env.close()
+
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    main()
+```
+
+Run with:
+
+```bash
+python test_env_load_arena.py \
+    --env.environment=g1_locomanip_pnp \
+    --env.embodiment=gr1_pink \

+    --env.headless=false \
+    --env.hub_path=nvidia/isaaclab-arena-envs \
+    --env.type=isaaclab_arena
+```
+
+## Creating New Environments
+
+First create a new IsaacLab Arena environment by following the [IsaacLab Arena Documentation](https://isaac-sim.github.io/IsaacLab-Arena/release/0.1.1/index.html).
+
+Clone our EnvHub repo:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://huggingface.co/nvidia/isaaclab-arena-envs
+```
+
+Modify the `example_envs.yaml` file based on your new environment.
+[Upload](./envhub#step-3-upload-to-the-hub) your modified repo to HuggingFace EnvHub.
+
+<Tip>
+  Your IsaacLab Arena environment code must be locally available during
+  evaluation. Users can clone your environment repository separately, or you can
+  bundle the environment code and assets directly in your EnvHub repo.
+</Tip>
+
+Then, when evaluating, use your new environment:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+    --env.hub_path=<your-env-hub-path>/isaaclab-arena-envs \
+    --env.environment=<your new environment> \
+    ...other flags...
+```
+
+We look forward to your contributions!
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### CUDA out of memory
+
+Reduce `batch_size` or use a GPU with more VRAM:
+
+```bash
+--eval.batch_size=1
+```
+
+### EULA not accepted
+
+Set environment variables before running:
+
+```bash
+export ACCEPT_EULA=Y
+export PRIVACY_CONSENT=Y
+```
+
+### Video recording not working
+
+Enable cameras when running headless:
+
+```bash
+--env.video=true --env.enable_cameras=true --env.headless=true
+```
+
+### Policy output dimension mismatch
+
+Ensure `action_dim` matches your policy:
+
+```bash
+--env.action_dim=36
+```
+
+### libGLU.so.1 Errors during Isaac Sim initialization
+
+Ensure you have the following dependencies installed, this is likely to happen on headless machines.
+
+```bash
+sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y libglu1-mesa libxt6
+```

+/>
+
+## How to get started, environment Setup
+
+Run the following commands to setup your code environments:
+
+```bash
+# Refer to Getting Started/Installation to install leisaac firstly
+conda create -n leisaac_envhub python=3.11
+conda activate leisaac_envhub
+
+conda install -c "nvidia/label/cuda-12.8.1" cuda-toolkit
+pip install -U torch==2.7.0 torchvision==0.22.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128
+pip install 'leisaac[isaaclab] @ git+https://github.com/LightwheelAI/leisaac.git#subdirectory=source/leisaac' --extra-index-url https://pypi.nvidia.com
+
+# Install lerobot
+pip install lerobot==0.4.1
+
+# Fix numpy version
+pip install numpy==1.26.0
+```
+
+## Usage Example
+
+EnvHub exposes every LeIsaac-supported task in a uniform interface. The examples below load `so101_pick_orange` and demonstrate a random-action rollout and an interactive teleoperation.
+
+### Random Action
+
+<details>
+<summary>Click to expand code example</summary>
+
+```python
+# envhub_random_action.py
+
+import torch
+from lerobot.envs import make_env
+
+# Load from the hub
+envs_dict = make_env("LightwheelAI/leisaac_env:envs/so101_pick_orange.py", n_envs=1, trust_remote_code=True)
+
+# Access the environment
+suite_name = next(iter(envs_dict))
+sync_vector_env = envs_dict[suite_name][0]
+# retrieve the isaac environment from the sync vector env
+env = sync_vector_env.envs[0].unwrapped
+
+# Use it like any gym environment
+obs, info = env.reset()
+
+while True:
+    action = torch.tensor(env.action_space.sample())
+    obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(action)
+    if terminated or truncated:
+        obs, info = env.reset()
+
+env.close()
+```
+
+</details>
+
+```bash
+python envhub_random_action.py
+```
+
+You should see the SO101 arm swinging under purely random commands.
+
+### Teleoperation
+
+LeRobot’s teleoperation stack can drive the simulated arm.
+
+Connect the SO101 Leader controller, run the calibration command below.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-calibrate \
+    --teleop.type=so101_leader \
+    --teleop.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+    --teleop.id=leader
+```

+
+## ☁️ Cloud Simulation (No GPU Required)
+
+Don’t have a local GPU or the right drivers? No problem! You can run LeIsaac entirely in the cloud with zero setup.
+LeIsaac works out-of-the-box on **NVIDIA Brev**, giving you a fully configured environment directly in your browser.
+
+👉 **Start here:** [https://lightwheelai.github.io/leisaac/docs/cloud_simulation/nvidia_brev](https://lightwheelai.github.io/leisaac/docs/cloud_simulation/nvidia_brev)
+
+Once your instance is deployed, simply open the link for **port 80 (HTTP)** to launch **Visual Studio Code Server** (default password: `password`). From there, you can run simulations, edit code, and visualize IsaacLab environments — all from your web browser.
+
+**No GPU, no drivers, no local installation. Just click and run.**
+
+## Additional Notes
+
+We keep EnvHub coverage aligned with the LeIsaac task. Currently supported:
+
+- `so101_pick_orange`
+- `so101_lift_cube`
+- `so101_clean_toytable`
+- `bi_so101_fold_cloth`
+
+Switch tasks by targeting a different script when calling `make_env`, for example:
+
+```python
+envs_dict_pick_orange = make_env("LightwheelAI/leisaac_env:envs/so101_pick_orange.py", n_envs=1, trust_remote_code=True)
+envs_dict_lift_cube = make_env("LightwheelAI/leisaac_env:envs/so101_lift_cube.py", n_envs=1, trust_remote_code=True)
+envs_dict_clean_toytable = make_env("LightwheelAI/leisaac_env:envs/so101_clean_toytable.py", n_envs=1, trust_remote_code=True)
+envs_dict_fold_cloth = make_env("LightwheelAI/leisaac_env:envs/bi_so101_fold_cloth.py", n_envs=1, trust_remote_code=True)
+```
+
+Note: when working with `bi_so101_fold_cloth`, call `initialize()` immediately after retrieving the env before performing any other operations:
+
+<details>
+<summary>Click to expand code example</summary>
+
+```python
+import torch
+from lerobot.envs import make_env
+
+# Load from the hub
+envs_dict = make_env("LightwheelAI/leisaac_env:envs/bi_so101_fold_cloth.py", n_envs=1, trust_remote_code=True)
+
+# Access the environment
+suite_name = next(iter(envs_dict))
+sync_vector_env = envs_dict[suite_name][0]
+# retrieve the isaac environment from the sync vector env
+env = sync_vector_env.envs[0].unwrapped
+
+# NOTE: initialize() first
+env.initialize()
+
+# other operation with env...

+# EO-1
+
+EO-1 is a **Vision-Language-Action policy for robot control**. The LeRobot implementation integrates EO-1 with the standard LeRobot training, evaluation, processor interface.
+
+## Model Overview
+
+EO-1 uses a Qwen2.5-VL backbone for vision-language understanding and adds a continuous flow-matching action head for robot control. The policy formats each robot-control sample as a multimodal conversation: camera images are passed to Qwen2.5-VL, the robot state is represented with EO-1 state tokens, and the future action chunk is represented with EO-1 action tokens.
+
+<img
+  src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/HaomingSong/lerobot-documentation-images/resolve/main/lerobot/eo_pipeline.png"
+  alt="An overview of EO-1"
+  width="85%"
+/>
+
+During training, EO-1 learns to denoise continuous action chunks at the action-token positions. During inference, it samples an action chunk, returns continuous actions, and executes `n_action_steps` from the chunk before sampling again.
+
+### What the LeRobot Integration Covers
+
+- Standard `policy.type=eo1` configuration through LeRobot
+- Qwen2.5-VL image and text preprocessing through policy processors
+- Continuous flow-matching action prediction
+- Checkpoint save/load through LeRobot policy APIs
+- Training with `lerobot-train` and evaluation with `lerobot-eval`
+
+The broader EO-1 project also includes interleaved vision-text-action pretraining and multimodal reasoning workflows. This page focuses on the LeRobot robot-control policy path.
+
+## Installation Requirements
+
+1. Install LeRobot by following the [Installation Guide](./installation).
+2. Install EO-1 dependencies by running:
+
+   ```bash
+   pip install -e ".[eo1]"
+   ```
+
+3. If you want to train or evaluate on LIBERO, install the LIBERO dependencies too:
+
+   ```bash
+   pip install -e ".[eo1,libero]"
+   ```
+
+EO-1 can use the standard PyTorch scaled-dot-product attention backend through `policy.attn_implementation=sdpa`. If your environment has a compatible `flash_attn` installation, you can request `policy.attn_implementation=flash_attention_2`.
+
+## Data Requirements
+
+EO-1 expects a LeRobot dataset with:
+
+- At least one visual observation, for example `observation.images.image`
+- `observation.state`
+- `action`
+- A language task instruction through the dataset `task` field
+
+If your dataset uses different observation names, use `rename_map` to align them with the names expected by your training or evaluation setup.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use EO-1 in a LeRobot configuration, specify the policy type as:
+
+```python
+policy.type=eo1
+```
+
+By default, a new EO-1 policy initializes its backbone from:
+
+```python
+policy.vlm_base=Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct
+```
+
+Once a LeRobot-format EO-1 checkpoint is available, load it with:
+
+```python
+policy.path=your-org/your-eo1-checkpoint
+```
+
+## Training
+
+### Training Command Example
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=your_org/your_dataset \
+  --policy.type=eo1 \
+  --policy.vlm_base=Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct \
+  --policy.dtype=bfloat16 \

+
+## Evaluation
+
+EO-1 can be evaluated through `lerobot-eval` once you have a LeRobot-format checkpoint:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=your-org/your-eo1-checkpoint \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  --env.task=libero_object \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=20
+```
+
+For datasets or environments whose camera names differ from the checkpoint configuration, pass a `rename_map`:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=your-org/your-eo1-checkpoint \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  --env.task=libero_object \
+  --rename_map='{"observation.images.image2":"observation.images.wrist_image"}'
+```
+
+## Configuration Notes
+
+### Image Processing
+
+EO-1 uses the Qwen2.5-VL processor. The `policy.image_min_pixels` and `policy.image_max_pixels` settings control the image resizing bounds before the visual tokens are passed into the backbone.
+
+### State and Action Dimensions
+
+The policy pads state and action vectors to `policy.max_state_dim` and `policy.max_action_dim` before the EO-1 flow head. Predictions are cropped back to the original action dimension before being returned by the policy.
+
+### Attention Backend
+
+Use `policy.attn_implementation=sdpa` for a portable setup. Use `flash_attention_2` only when `flash_attn` is installed and compatible with your environment.

+# EVO1
+
+EVO1 is a Vision-Language-Action policy for robot control built around an InternVL3 backbone and a continuous flow-matching action head. This LeRobot integration exposes EVO1 as a standard policy type so it can be trained and evaluated with the usual LeRobot dataset, checkpoint, and processor APIs.
+
+## Model Overview
+
+The policy embeds one or more camera images and the language task prompt with InternVL3, pads robot state/action vectors to fixed maximum dimensions, and predicts future action chunks with a flow-matching action head. During inference, the policy samples an action chunk and returns `n_action_steps` actions from that chunk before sampling again.
+
+### What the LeRobot Integration Covers
+
+- Standard `policy.type=evo1` configuration through LeRobot
+- InternVL3 image/text embedding with optional FlashAttention fallback
+- Stage-based finetuning controls for action-head-only and VLM finetuning runs
+- Continuous flow-matching action prediction
+- Checkpoint save/load through LeRobot policy APIs
+- Training with `lerobot-train` and evaluation with standard policy inference APIs
+
+The broader EVO1 project may include additional training scripts and dataset tooling. This page focuses on the LeRobot robot-control policy path.
+
+## Installation Requirements
+
+1. Install LeRobot by following the [Installation Guide](./installation).
+2. Install EVO1 dependencies:
+
+   ```bash
+   pip install -e ".[evo1]"
+   ```
+
+   For LIBERO evaluation, install the LIBERO extra as well:
+
+   ```bash
+   pip install -e ".[evo1,libero]"
+   ```
+
+3. Install a `flash-attn` wheel only if it is compatible with your Python, PyTorch, CUDA, and GPU stack. EVO1 falls back to standard attention when `flash_attn` is not available.
+
+EVO1 uses the native Hugging Face `transformers` InternVL implementation, so `policy.vlm_model_name` must point to a natively converted checkpoint such as `OpenGVLab/InternVL3-1B-hf` (note the `-hf` suffix). The first run may download the configured VLM checkpoint unless `policy.vlm_model_name` points to a local model directory.
+
+## Data Requirements
+
+EVO1 expects a LeRobot dataset with:
+
+- One to `policy.max_views` visual observations, for example `observation.images.image`
+- `observation.state`
+- `action`
+- A language task instruction in the dataset `task` field, or another field configured with `policy.task_field`
+
+State and action vectors are padded to `policy.max_state_dim` and `policy.max_action_dim`. Predictions are cropped back to the dataset action dimension before being returned.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use EVO1 in a LeRobot configuration, specify:
+
+```python
+policy.type=evo1
+```
+
+By default, a new EVO1 policy initializes its VLM from:
+
+```python
+policy.vlm_model_name=OpenGVLab/InternVL3-1B-hf
+```
+
+Once a LeRobot-format EVO1 checkpoint is available, load it with:
+
+```python
+policy.path=your-org/your-evo1-checkpoint
+```
+
+## Training
+
+### Stage 1
+
+Stage 1 freezes the VLM and trains the action head:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=your_org/your_dataset \
+  --policy.type=evo1 \
+  --policy.training_stage=stage1 \
+  --policy.vlm_model_name=OpenGVLab/InternVL3-1B-hf \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --policy.chunk_size=50 \
+  --policy.n_action_steps=50 \
+  --policy.max_state_dim=24 \
+  --policy.max_action_dim=24 \
+  --policy.optimizer_lr=1e-5 \
+  --batch_size=4 \
+  --steps=5000 \
+  --output_dir=./outputs/evo1_stage1
+```
+
+### Stage 2
+
+Stage 2 finetunes the VLM branches and action head. A common workflow starts from a Stage 1 checkpoint:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=your_org/your_dataset \
+  --policy.path=./outputs/evo1_stage1/checkpoints/005000/pretrained_model \
+  --policy.training_stage=stage2 \
+  --policy.vlm_model_name=OpenGVLab/InternVL3-1B-hf \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --policy.chunk_size=50 \
+  --policy.n_action_steps=50 \
+  --policy.max_state_dim=24 \
+  --policy.max_action_dim=24 \
+  --policy.optimizer_lr=1e-5 \
+  --batch_size=4 \
+  --steps=80000 \
+  --output_dir=./outputs/evo1_stage2
+```
+
+By default, `policy.training_stage` reapplies the finetuning defaults for that stage. This is important when
+starting Stage 2 from a Stage 1 checkpoint, because the Stage 1 checkpoint config stores the VLM finetuning
+flags as disabled. These stage defaults take precedence over saved or manually supplied `policy.finetune_*`
+flags unless `policy.apply_training_stage_defaults=false`, so set that flag only when manually controlling
+every finetuning flag.

+
+## Inference
+
+Try it out with a trained EVO1 checkpoint:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+  --policy.path=your-org/your-evo1-checkpoint \
+  --inference.type=rtc \ # optional
+  ...
+```
+
+## Results
+
+### LIBERO Evaluation
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Benchmark results for a `lerobot`-hosted LIBERO checkpoint trained with this implementation
+> will be added once training completes.
+
+The official EVO1 LIBERO rollout protocol uses the raw LIBERO camera feature names
+(`observation.images.agentview_image` and `observation.images.robot0_eye_in_hand_image`), replans every
+14 actions, and binarizes the gripper command before stepping the simulator. The EVO1 policy postprocessor
+can crop the padded 24D action back to the 7D LIBERO action space and apply that gripper binarization. To
+evaluate a LIBERO checkpoint under the same one-episode-per-task setting, keep the raw camera names instead
+of the default `image`/`image2` mapping and set the LIBERO action postprocessing flags:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=your-org/your-evo1-libero-checkpoint \
+  --policy.vlm_model_name=OpenGVLab/InternVL3-1B-hf \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --policy.use_flash_attn=true \
+  --policy.n_action_steps=14 \
+  --policy.postprocess_action_dim=7 \
+  --policy.binarize_gripper=true \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  --env.task=libero_object \
+  --env.camera_name_mapping="{agentview_image: agentview_image, robot0_eye_in_hand_image: robot0_eye_in_hand_image}" \
+  --env.observation_height=448 \
+  --env.observation_width=448 \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=1
+```

+# FastWAM
+
+FastWAM is a World Action Model policy for robot control. The LeRobot integration exposes FastWAM through the standard policy API so it can be configured with `policy.type=fastwam`, trained with `lerobot-train`, and loaded through the LeRobot pretrained policy interface.
+
+## Model Overview
+
+FastWAM keeps video modeling during training, but uses direct action prediction at inference time instead of iteratively generating future observations. This LeRobot policy wraps the FastWAM action model, adapts LeRobot batches to FastWAM training samples, and provides the standard processor pipeline for normalization and action postprocessing.
+
+The implementation initializes the visual world-model components from `Wan-AI/Wan2.2-TI2V-5B` by default and predicts action chunks with shape `[batch, action_horizon, action_dim]`.
+
+### What the LeRobot Integration Covers
+
+- Standard `policy.type=fastwam` configuration through LeRobot
+- Image, state, action, and language-task batch adaptation
+- Action chunk inference through `select_action` and `predict_action_chunk`
+- Checkpoint save/load through the LeRobot policy APIs
+- Configurable LIBERO gripper action postprocessing
+
+## Installation Requirements
+
+Install LeRobot from source, then install FastWAM dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[fastwam]"
+```
+
+This installs the FastWAM policy extra from `pyproject.toml`: `transformers`,
+`diffusers`, `ftfy`, and `regex`, plus LeRobot's base dependencies.
+
+For LIBERO evaluation, install the benchmark dependencies too:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[fastwam,libero]"
+```
+
+This installs both extras. In addition to the FastWAM dependencies above, the
+`libero` extra installs LeRobot dataset dependencies, `hf-libero` on Linux, and
+`scipy`.
+
+FastWAM uses the Wan2.2 TI2V backbone. The default model id is:
+
+```python
+policy.model_id=Wan-AI/Wan2.2-TI2V-5B
+```
+
+## Data Requirements
+
+FastWAM expects a LeRobot dataset with:
+
+- one or more visual observations whose widths concatenate to `policy.image_size[1]`
+- `observation.state` when `policy.proprio_dim` is not `None`
+- `action`
+- a language task instruction through the dataset task field, or precomputed `context` and `context_mask` tensors
+
+The default visual setup is one image feature named `observation.images.image` with shape `(3, 224, 448)`. If the dataset uses two cameras, configure `policy.input_features` so their heights match `224` and their widths sum to `448`.
+
+## Usage
+
+Create a new FastWAM policy with:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=your-org/your-dataset \
+  --policy.type=fastwam \
+  --policy.action_dim=7 \
+  --policy.proprio_dim=8 \
+  --policy.action_horizon=32 \
+  --policy.n_action_steps=10 \
+  --policy.image_size='[224,448]' \
+  --output_dir=./outputs/fastwam_training \
+  --job_name=fastwam_training \
+  --steps=300000 \
+  --batch_size=8 \
+  --policy.device=cuda
+```
+
+Evaluate an existing LeRobot-format checkpoint on LIBERO-10 with:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=ZibinDong/fastwam_libero_uncond_2cam224 \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --policy.torch_dtype=float32 \
+  --policy.n_action_steps=10 \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  --env.task=libero_10 \
+  --env.observation_height=224 \
+  --env.observation_width=224 \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=50 \
+  --seed=0 \
+  --env.episode_length=600
+```
+
+For `libero_goal`, `libero_spatial`, and `libero_object`, use
+`--env.episode_length=300`.
+
+For real-robot rollout, use the same checkpoint path:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+  --robot.type=so101_follower \
+  --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+  --policy.path=your-org/fastwam-real-robot
+```
+
+## Configuration Notes
+
+### Image Features
+
+`policy.image_size` is the size of the concatenated FastWAM image tensor as `(height, width)`. Each configured image feature must have shape `(3, height, camera_width)`, and all camera widths must sum to the configured width.
+
+### Action Chunking
+
+`policy.action_horizon` controls the number of future actions supervised during training and predicted during inference. `policy.n_action_steps` controls how many actions are consumed before the policy predicts a fresh chunk. `policy.n_action_steps` must be less than or equal to `policy.action_horizon`.
+
+### Wan Components
+
+FastWAM loads the Wan VAE, video DiT, text encoder, and tokenizer from the configured Wan model directory or Hugging Face Hub model id. LeRobot-format FastWAM checkpoints saved by `save_pretrained` also copy the local Wan component files needed by `from_pretrained`.
+
+### Attention Backend
+
+FastWAM's DiT uses PyTorch's `scaled_dot_product_attention` (SDPA) for all attention. It does **not** use FlashAttention: its Mixture-of-Transformers (MoT) routing needs arbitrary boolean `[query, key]` attention masks, which the FlashAttention varlen API cannot express. Installing the `flash-attn` package therefore has no effect on the FastWAM path. (Note that SDPA itself may still select PyTorch's own flash / memory-efficient / math kernel internally — this is unrelated to the `flash-attn` package.)
+
+### LIBERO Action Toggle
+
+FastWAM LIBERO checkpoints use `policy.toggle_action_dimensions=[-1]` by
+default to match the gripper action convention used by the original FastWAM
+evaluation pipeline:
+
+```bash
+--policy.toggle_action_dimensions='[-1]'
+```
+
+## Results
+
+Evaluated on LIBERO with [`ZibinDong/fastwam_libero_uncond_2cam224`](https://huggingface.co/ZibinDong/fastwam_libero_uncond_2cam224):
+
+| Suite          | Success rate | n_episodes |
+| -------------- | -----------: | ---------: |
+| libero_spatial |        97.6% |        500 |
+| libero_object  |        99.0% |        500 |
+| libero_goal    |        95.0% |        500 |
+| libero_10      |        94.0% |        500 |
+| **average**    |    **96.4%** |       2000 |
+
+Reproduce: `lerobot-eval --policy.path=ZibinDong/fastwam_libero_uncond_2cam224 --policy.device=cuda --policy.torch_dtype=float32 --policy.n_action_steps=10 --env.type=libero --env.task=libero_spatial --env.observation_height=256 --env.observation_width=256 --eval.batch_size=1 --eval.n_episodes=50 --seed=0 --env.episode_length=300` (1x H20 140 GB).

+# GR00T Policy
+
+GR00T is an NVIDIA foundation model family for generalized humanoid robot reasoning and skills. It is a cross-embodiment policy that accepts multimodal input, including language, images, and proprioception, to perform manipulation tasks in diverse environments.
+
+LeRobot integrates GR00T N1.7 through the `groot` policy type.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> **Breaking change:** GR00T N1.5 support was removed from LeRobot, and current releases support GR00T N1.7 only. N1.5 checkpoints and configs are rejected with a migration note. To keep using an N1.5 checkpoint, pin the last release that supports it: `pip install 'lerobot==0.5.1'`. To use the current release, migrate to GR00T N1.7 (base model [`nvidia/GR00T-N1.7-3B`](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/GR00T-N1.7-3B)).
+
+## Model Overview
+
+GR00T N1.7 uses a Cosmos-Reason2/Qwen3-VL backbone and provides checkpoints for SimplerEnv, DROID, and LIBERO.
+
+Developers and researchers can post-train GR00T with their own real or synthetic data to adapt it for specific humanoid robots or tasks.
+
+GR00T uses pre-trained vision and language encoders with a flow matching action transformer to model a chunk of actions conditioned on vision, language, and proprioception.
+
+<img
+  src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/lerobot/lerobot-groot-paper1%20(1).png"
+  alt="An overview of GR00T"
+  width="80%"
+/>
+
+Its strong performance comes from being trained on an expansive and diverse humanoid dataset, which includes:
+
+- Real captured data from robots.
+- Synthetic data generated using NVIDIA Isaac GR00T Blueprint.
+- Internet-scale video data.
+
+This approach allows the model to be highly adaptable through post-training for specific embodiments, tasks, and environments.
+
+## Installation Requirements
+
+GR00T is intended for NVIDIA GPU-accelerated systems. Install LeRobot with the GR00T extra:
+
+```bash
+pip install "lerobot[groot]"
+```
+
+For a source checkout:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[groot]"
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+To use GR00T N1.7:
+
+```bash
+--policy.type=groot
+```
+
+## Training
+
+### Training Command Example
+
+Here's a complete training command for finetuning the base GR00T model on your own dataset:
+
+This command is using the `new_embodiment` flag, which is used for the SO-101 robot, [read more about how GR00T handles different embodiments.](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Isaac-GR00T/blob/main/getting_started/policy.md#--embodiment-tag).
+
+```bash

+# Compute HW Guide for LeRobot Training
+
+Rough sizing for training a LeRobot policy: how much VRAM each policy needs, what training time looks like, and where to run when local hardware isn't enough.
+
+The numbers below are **indicative** — order-of-magnitude figures for picking hardware, not exact predictions. Throughput depends heavily on dataset I/O, image resolution, batch size, and number of GPUs.
+
+## Memory by policy group
+
+Policies cluster by backbone size; the groupings below give a single VRAM envelope per group instead of repeating numbers per policy. Memory scales roughly linearly with batch size; AdamW (the LeRobot default) carries optimizer state that adds ~30–100% over a forward+backward pass alone.
+
+| Group      | Policies                                    | Peak VRAM (BS 8, AdamW) | Suitable starter GPUs             |
+| ---------- | ------------------------------------------- | ----------------------: | --------------------------------- |
+| Light BC   | `act`, `vqbet`, `tdmpc`                     |                  ~2–6GB | Laptop GPU (RTX 3060), L4, A10G   |
+| Diffusion  | `diffusion`, `multi_task_dit`               |                 ~8–14GB | RTX 4070+ / L4 / A10G             |
+| Small VLA  | `smolvla`                                   |                ~10–16GB | RTX 4080+ / L4 / A10G             |
+| Large VLA  | `pi0`, `pi0_fast`, `pi05`, `xvla`, `wall_x` |                ~24–40GB | A100 40 GB+ (24 GB tight at BS 1) |
+| Multimodal | `groot`, `eo1`                              |                ~24–40GB | A100 40 GB+                       |
+| RL         | `sac`                                       |             config-dep. | See [HIL-SERL guide](./hilserl)   |
+
+Memory-bound? Drop the batch size (~linear), use gradient accumulation to recover effective batch, or for SmolVLA leave `freeze_vision_encoder=True`.
+
+## Training time
+
+Robotics imitation learning typically converges in **5–10 epochs over the dataset**, not hundreds of thousands of raw steps. Once you know your epoch count, wall-clock is essentially:
+
+```text
+total_frames    = sum of frames over all episodes      # 50 ep × 30 fps × 30 s ≈ 45,000
+steps_per_epoch = ceil(total_frames / (num_gpus × batch_size))
+total_steps     = epochs × steps_per_epoch
+wall_clock      ≈ total_steps × per_step_time
+```
+
+Per-step time depends on the policy and the GPU. The numbers in the table below are anchors — pick the row closest to your setup and scale linearly with `total_steps` if you train longer or shorter.
+
+### Common scenarios
+
+Indicative wall-clock for **5 epochs on a ~50-episode dataset (~45k frames at 30 fps × 30 s)**, default optimizer (AdamW), 640×480 images:
+
+| Setup                                | Policy         | Batch | Wall-clock |
+| ------------------------------------ | -------------- | ----- | ---------: |
+| Single RTX 4090 / RTX 3090 (24 GB)   | `act`          | 8     |  ~30–60min |
+| Single RTX 4090 / RTX 3090 (24 GB)   | `diffusion`    | 8     |      ~2–4h |
+| Single L4 / A10G (24 GB)             | `act`          | 8     |      ~1–2h |
+| Single L4 / A10G (24 GB)             | `smolvla`      | 4     |      ~3–6h |
+| Single A100 40 GB                    | `smolvla`      | 16    |      ~1–2h |
+| Single A100 40 GB                    | `pi0` / `pi05` | 4     |      ~4–8h |
+| 4× H100 80 GB cluster (`accelerate`) | `diffusion`    | 32    |  ~30–60min |
+| 4× H100 80 GB cluster (`accelerate`) | `smolvla`      | 32    |      ~1–2h |
+| Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3 Max (MPS)     | `act`          | 4     |     ~6–14h |
+
+These are order-of-magnitude figures. Real runs deviate by ±50% depending on image resolution, dataset I/O, dataloader threading, and exact GPU SKU. They are useful as "is this run going to take an hour or a day?" intuition, not as SLAs.
+
+### Multi-GPU matters a lot
+
+`accelerate launch --num_processes=N` is the easiest way to cut training time. Each optimizer step processes `N × batch_size` samples in roughly the same wall-clock as a single-GPU step, so 4 GPUs ≈ 4× speedup for compute-bound runs. See the [Multi GPU training](./multi_gpu_training) guide for the full setup.
+
+Reference data points on a 4×H100 80 GB cluster (`accelerate launch --num_processes=4`), 5000 steps, batch 32, AdamW, dataset [`imstevenpmwork/super_poulain_draft`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/imstevenpmwork/super_poulain_draft) (~50 episodes, ~640×480 images):
+
+| Policy      | Wall-clock | `update_s` | `dataloading_s` | GPU util | Notable flags                                                                                                                  |
+| ----------- | ---------- | ---------: | --------------: | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `diffusion` | 16m 17s    |      0.167 |           0.015 | ~90%     | defaults (training from scratch)                                                                                               |
+| `smolvla`   | 27m 49s    |      0.312 |           0.011 | ~80%     | `--policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_base`, `freeze_vision_encoder=false`, `train_expert_only=false`                                 |
+| `pi05`      | 3h 41m     |      2.548 |           0.014 | ~95%     | `--policy.pretrained_path=lerobot/pi05_base`, `gradient_checkpointing=true`, `dtype=bfloat16`, vision encoder + expert trained |
+
+The `dataloading_s` vs. `update_s` ratio is the diagnostic that matters: when `dataloading_s` approaches `update_s`, more GPUs stop helping — your dataloader is the bottleneck and you should look at `--num_workers`, image resolution, and disk speed before adding compute.
+
+### Schedule and checkpoints
+
+If you shorten training (e.g. 5k–10k steps on a small dataset), also shorten the LR schedule with `--policy.scheduler_decay_steps≈--steps`. Otherwise the LR stays near its peak and never decays. Same for `--save_freq`.
+
+## Where to run
+
+VRAM is the first filter. Within a tier, pick by budget and availability — the `$`–`$$$$` columns are relative; check current pricing on the provider you actually use.
+
+| Class                      | VRAM  | Tier   | Comfortable for                                             |
+| -------------------------- | ----- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
+| RTX 3090 / 4090 (consumer) | 24 GB | `$`    | Light BC, Diffusion, SmolVLA. Tight for VLAs at batch 1.    |
+| L4 / A10G (cloud)          | 24 GB | `$–$$` | Same envelope; common on Google Cloud, RunPod, AWS `g5/g6`. |
+| A100 40 GB                 | 40 GB | `$$$`  | Any policy at reasonable batch sizes.                       |
+| A100 80 GB / H100 80 GB    | 80 GB | `$$$$` | Multi-GPU clusters; large batches for VLAs.                 |
+| **CPU only**               | —     | —      | Don't train. Use Colab or rent a GPU.                       |
+
+### Hugging Face Jobs
+
+[Hugging Face Jobs](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/jobs) lets you run training on managed HF infrastructure, billed by the second, without owning a GPU. `lerobot-train` submits and streams the job for you — just add `--job.target=<flavor>` to a normal training command:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.type=act --dataset.repo_id=<USER>/<DATASET> \
+  --policy.repo_id=<USER>/act_<task> \
+  --job.target=a10g-large
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- Run `hf auth login` once before submitting, the job runs under your token.
+- `--job.target` maps onto the table above: `t4-small`/`t4-medium` (T4, ACT only), `l4x1`/`l4x4` (L4 24 GB), `a10g-small/large/largex2/largex4` (A10G 24 GB scaled out), `a100-large` (A100). List the current catalogue with pricing via `hf jobs hardware`, or see [https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/jobs](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/jobs).
+- The job defaults to a `2d` (48h) timeout. Override it with `--job.timeout=4h` (or any other valid duration string) to shorten or extend the timeout. The job automatically stops when the command completes.
+- For the full walkthrough — dataset upload, checkpoint streaming, resuming a run on a job — see the [imitation-learning training guide](./il_robots#train-using-hugging-face-jobs).

+# Human-In-the-Loop Data Collection
+
+Human-In-the-Loop (HIL) data collection lets you improve a trained policy by deploying it on a real robot while a human operator monitors and intervenes when needed. The intervention data (recovery movements and corrections) is recorded alongside autonomous segments, producing a richer training dataset that teaches the policy how to handle failures.
+
+---
+
+## Why Human-In-the-Loop?
+
+Standard behavioral cloning trains policies on successful demonstrations only. During deployment, small errors can compound and push the robot into states never seen during training (distribution shift). HIL data collection addresses this by:
+
+- Running the trained policy on the real robot
+- Having a human intervene when the robot is about to fail
+- Recording the human's recovery and correction as training data
+- Fine-tuning the policy on the combined dataset
+
+This produces a policy that not only knows how to perform the task, but also how to recover when things go wrong.
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+During a HIL session, the human operator follows this loop within each episode:
+
+1. **Watch** the policy run autonomously
+2. **Pause** when failure is imminent, the robot holds its position
+3. **Take control** and teleoperate the robot back to a good state (recovery), then correct the behavior
+4. **Return control to the policy**, the policy resumes autonomous execution
+5. Repeat steps 2–4 as many times as needed during the episode
+6. **End the episode** when the task is complete, save and move on to the next rollout
+
+Both autonomous and human-controlled segments are recorded. The policy and human can alternate control multiple times within a single episode, and the episode continues from the current state after each handoff (no reset required just because intervention happened). This captures autonomous execution, recovery, and correction in one continuous trajectory. After collection, the combined dataset (original demonstrations + HIL data) is used to fine-tune the policy.
+
+This process can be repeated iteratively: deploy, collect, fine-tune, repeat. Each round targets the current policy's failure modes.
+
+```

+
+## Hardware Requirements
+
+### Teleoperator Requirements
+
+The `lerobot-rollout --strategy.type=dagger` mode requires **teleoperators with active motors** that can:
+
+- Enable/disable torque programmatically
+- Move to target positions (to mirror the robot state when pausing)
+
+**Compatible teleoperators:**
+
+- `bi_openarm_mini` - Bimanual OpenArm Mini
+- `so_leader` - SO100 / SO101 leader arm
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The provided commands default to `bi_openarm_follower` + `bi_openarm_mini`.
+> `so_follower` + `so_leader` configs are also registered and can be used via CLI flags.
+
+---
+
+## Script
+
+Use `lerobot-rollout` with `--strategy.type=dagger` for HIL data collection. Select the inference backend with `--inference.type=sync|rtc`:
+
+| Mode                     | Flag                   | Models                |
+| ------------------------ | ---------------------- | --------------------- |
+| Standard (default)       | _(no flag needed)_     | ACT, Diffusion Policy |
+| Real-Time Chunking (RTC) | `--inference.type=rtc` | Pi0, Pi0.5, SmolVLA   |
+
+---
+
+## Step-by-Step Guide
+
+### Step 1: Pre-train a Base Policy
+
+First, train a policy on your demonstration dataset:
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/scripts/lerobot_train.py \
+    --dataset.repo_id=your-username/demo-dataset \
+    --policy.type=pi0 \
+    --output_dir=outputs/pretrain \
+    --batch_size=32 \
+    --steps=50000
+```
+
+### Step 2: Collect HIL Data
+
+**Standard inference (ACT, Diffusion Policy):**
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout --strategy.type=dagger \
+    --robot.type=bi_openarm_follower \
+    --robot.left_arm_config.port=can1 \
+    --robot.left_arm_config.side=left \

+
+**Controls (Conceptual):**
+
+The interaction model is:
+
+- **Pause input**: pause autonomous policy execution
+- **Takeover input**: transfer control to the human operator and record intervention data
+- **Return-to-policy input**: hand control back to the policy and continue the same episode
+- **Episode control inputs**: save/re-record/stop/reset as needed
+
+Exact key/pedal bindings can differ across scripts and hardware integrations. Use each script's printed controls as the source of truth for the concrete mapping on your setup.
+
+**The HIL Protocol:**
+
+1. Watch the policy run autonomously (teleop is idle/free)
+2. When you see imminent failure, trigger the **pause input**
+   - Policy stops
+   - Teleoperator moves to match robot position (torque enabled)
+   - No frames recorded during pause
+3. Trigger the **takeover input** to take control
+   - Teleoperator torque disabled, free to move
+   - **Recovery**: Teleoperate the robot back to a good state
+   - **Correction**: Correct the behavior
+   - All movements are recorded
+4. Trigger the **return-to-policy input**
+   - Policy resumes autonomous execution from the current state
+   - You can intervene again at any time (repeat steps 2–4)
+5. End and save the episode when the task is complete (or episode time limit is reached)
+6. **Reset**: Teleop moves to robot position, you can move the robot to the starting position
+7. Start the next episode
+
+**Foot Pedal Setup (Linux):**
+
+If using a USB foot pedal (PCsensor FootSwitch), ensure access:
+
+```bash
+sudo setfacl -m u:$USER:rw /dev/input/by-id/usb-PCsensor_FootSwitch-event-kbd
+```
+
+### Step 3: Fine-tune the Policy
+
+Fine-tune on the **combined** dataset (`demo-dataset` + `hil-dataset` merged together):
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/scripts/lerobot_train.py \
+    --dataset.repo_id=your-username/hil-dataset \
+    --policy.type=pi0 \
+    --policy.pretrained_path=outputs/pretrain/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model \
+    --output_dir=outputs/hil_finetune \
+    --steps=20000
+```
+
+Then deploy the fine-tuned policy and repeat from Step 2 to target its remaining failure modes.

+
+## Tips for Effective HIL Collection
+
+### When to Intervene
+
+Intervene when you see:
+
+- Robot about to make an irreversible mistake
+- Robot hesitating or showing uncertain behavior
+- Robot deviating from the expected trajectory
+
+### Recovery: Teleoperating Back to a Good State
+
+During recovery, teleoperate the robot back to a state where:
+
+- The robot is in a familiar, in-distribution configuration
+- The current subtask can still be completed
+- The recovery trajectory itself is informative training data
+
+### Quality of Corrections
+
+During correction:
+
+- Provide **confident, clean** trajectories
+- Complete the current subtask fully
+- Don't overcorrect or add unnecessary movements
+
+---
+
+## Related Work
+
+This HIL data collection approach builds on ideas from interactive imitation learning:
+
+- **DAgger** (Ross et al., 2011) introduced the core idea: instead of only training on expert demonstrations, query the expert for corrections on states the _learner_ visits. This breaks the compounding-error cycle of standard behavioral cloning by iteratively collecting on-policy data.
+
+- **HG-DAgger** (Kelly et al., 2019) made this practical for robotics: a human expert monitors the robot and only intervenes when needed, rather than labeling every state. The gating between autonomous and human control is exactly the pause → takeover → return-to-policy loop used in the scripts here.
+
+- **RaC** (Hu et al., 2025) scales this loop to long-horizon tasks by explicitly decomposing interventions into **recovery** (teleoperating back to a good state) and **correction** (demonstrating the right behavior from there). This decomposition is the protocol followed by the DAgger strategy in `lerobot-rollout`.
+
+- **π0.6/RECAP** (Physical Intelligence, 2025) applies the same iterative collect-and-finetune loop at scale with VLA models, showing that even large pretrained policies benefit substantially from targeted human corrections on their own failure modes. π0.6 is trained using RECAP.

 HIL-SERL is a sample-efficient reinforcement learning algorithm that combines human demonstrations with online learning and human interventions. The approach starts from a small set of human demonstrations, uses them to train a reward classifier, and then employs an actor-learner architecture where humans can intervene during policy execution to guide exploration and correct unsafe behaviors. In this tutorial, you'll use a gamepad to provide interventions and control the robot during the learning process.

+### Processor Pipeline Architecture
+
+HIL-SERL uses a modular processor pipeline architecture that processes robot observations and actions through a series of composable steps. The pipeline is divided into two main components:
+
+#### Environment Processor Pipeline
+
+The environment processor (`env_processor`) handles incoming observations and environment state:
+
+1. **VanillaObservationProcessorStep**: Converts raw robot observations into standardized format
+2. **JointVelocityProcessorStep** (optional): Adds joint velocity information to observations
+3. **MotorCurrentProcessorStep** (optional): Adds motor current readings to observations
+4. **ForwardKinematicsJointsToEE** (optional): Computes end-effector pose from joint positions
+5. **ImageCropResizeProcessorStep** (optional): Crops and resizes camera images
+6. **TimeLimitProcessorStep** (optional): Enforces episode time limits
+7. **GripperPenaltyProcessorStep** (optional): Applies penalties for inappropriate gripper usage
+8. **RewardClassifierProcessorStep** (optional): Automated reward detection using vision models
+9. **AddBatchDimensionProcessorStep**: Converts data to batch format for neural network processing
+10. **DeviceProcessorStep**: Moves data to the specified compute device (CPU/GPU)
+
+#### Action Processor Pipeline
+
+The action processor (`action_processor`) handles outgoing actions and human interventions:
+
+1. **AddTeleopActionAsComplimentaryDataStep**: Captures teleoperator actions for logging
+2. **AddTeleopEventsAsInfoStep**: Records intervention events and episode control signals
+3. **InterventionActionProcessorStep**: Handles human interventions and episode termination
+4. **Inverse Kinematics Pipeline** (when enabled):
+   - **MapDeltaActionToRobotActionStep**: Converts delta actions to robot action format
+   - **EEReferenceAndDelta**: Computes end-effector reference and delta movements
+   - **EEBoundsAndSafety**: Enforces workspace safety bounds
+   - **InverseKinematicsEEToJoints**: Converts end-effector actions to joint targets
+   - **GripperVelocityToJoint**: Handles gripper control commands
+
+#### Configuration Examples
+
+**Basic Observation Processing**:

+    "processor": {
+      "observation": {
+        "add_joint_velocity_to_observation": true,
+        "add_current_to_observation": false,
+        "display_cameras": false
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Image Processing**:

+        },
+        "resize_size": [128, 128]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Inverse Kinematics Setup**:
+

+  "env": {
+    "processor": {
+      "inverse_kinematics": {
+        "urdf_path": "path/to/robot.urdf",
+        "target_frame_name": "end_effector",
+        "end_effector_bounds": {
+          "min": [0.16, -0.08, 0.03],
+          "max": [0.24, 0.2, 0.1]
+        },
+        "end_effector_step_sizes": {
+          "x": 0.02,
+          "y": 0.02,
+          "z": 0.02
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Advanced Observation Processing
+
+The HIL-SERL framework supports additional observation processing features that can improve policy learning:
+
+#### Joint Velocity Processing
+
+Enable joint velocity estimation to provide the policy with motion information:
+
+```json
+{
+  "env": {
+    "processor": {
+      "observation": {
+        "add_joint_velocity_to_observation": true
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This processor:
+
+- Estimates joint velocities using finite differences between consecutive joint position readings
+- Adds velocity information to the observation state vector
+- Useful for policies that need motion awareness for dynamic tasks
+
+#### Motor Current Processing
+
+Monitor motor currents to detect contact forces and load conditions:
+
+```json
+{
+  "env": {
+    "processor": {
+      "observation": {
+        "add_current_to_observation": true
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This processor:
+
+- Reads motor current values from the robot's control system
+- Adds current measurements to the observation state vector
+- Helps detect contact events, object weights, and mechanical resistance
+- Useful for contact-rich manipulation tasks
+
+#### Combined Observation Processing
+
+You can enable multiple observation processing features simultaneously:
+
+```json
+{
+  "env": {
+    "processor": {
+      "observation": {
+        "add_joint_velocity_to_observation": true,
+        "add_current_to_observation": true,
+        "display_cameras": false
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Note**: Enabling additional observation features increases the state space dimensionality, which may require adjusting your policy network architecture and potentially collecting more training data.
+
 ### Finding Robot Workspace Bounds
 
 Before collecting demonstrations, you need to determine the appropriate operational bounds for your robot.
 
 This helps simplify the problem of learning on the real robot in two ways: 1) by limiting the robot's operational space to a specific region that solves the task and avoids unnecessary or unsafe exploration, and 2) by allowing training in end-effector space rather than joint space. Empirically, learning in joint space for reinforcement learning in manipulation is often a harder problem - some tasks are nearly impossible to learn in joint space but become learnable when the action space is transformed to end-effector coordinates.
 
-**Using find_joint_limits.py**
+**Using lerobot-find-joint-limits**
 
 This script helps you find the safe operational bounds for your robot's end-effector. Given that you have a follower and leader arm, you can use the script to find the bounds for the follower arm that will be applied during training.
 Bounding the action space will reduce the redundant exploration of the agent and guarantees safety.

+Before training, you need to collect a dataset with labeled examples. Setting `mode: "record"` in your config and running `gym_manipulator.py` enables the process of collecting a dataset of observations, actions, and rewards.
 
 To collect a dataset, you need to modify some parameters in the environment configuration based on HILSerlRobotEnvConfig.
 
 ```bash
-python -m lerobot.scripts.rl.gym_manipulator --config_path src/lerobot/configs/reward_classifier_train_config.json
+python -m lerobot.rl.gym_manipulator --config_path src/lerobot/configs/reward_classifier_train_config.json
 ```
 
 **Key Parameters for Data Collection**
 
-- **mode**: set it to `"record"` to collect a dataset
-- **repo_id**: `"hf_username/dataset_name"`, name of the dataset and repo on the hub
-- **num_episodes**: Number of episodes to record
-- **number_of_steps_after_success**: Number of additional frames to record after a success (reward=1) is detected
-- **fps**: Number of frames per second to record
-- **push_to_hub**: Whether to push the dataset to the hub
+- **mode**: set it to `"record"` to collect a dataset (at root level)
+- **dataset.repo_id**: `"hf_username/dataset_name"`, name of the dataset and repo on the hub
+- **dataset.num_episodes_to_record**: Number of episodes to record
+- **env.processor.reset.terminate_on_success**: Whether to automatically terminate episodes when success is detected (default: `true`)
+- **env.fps**: Number of frames per second to record
+- **dataset.push_to_hub**: Whether to push the dataset to the hub
 
-The `number_of_steps_after_success` parameter is crucial as it allows you to collect more positive examples. When a success is detected, the system will continue recording for the specified number of steps while maintaining the reward=1 label. Otherwise, there won't be enough states in the dataset labeled to 1 to train a good classifier.
+The `env.processor.reset.terminate_on_success` parameter allows you to control episode termination behavior. When set to `false`, episodes will continue even after success is detected, allowing you to collect more positive examples with the reward=1 label. This is crucial for training reward classifiers as it provides more success state examples in your dataset. When set to `true` (default), episodes terminate immediately upon success detection.
+
+**Important**: For reward classifier training, set `terminate_on_success: false` to collect sufficient positive examples. For regular HIL-SERL training, keep it as `true` to enable automatic episode termination when the task is completed successfully.

+- On Linux, the recording control-flow keys (arrow keys, Escape) work on X11, Wayland, and headless/SSH sessions as long as `lerobot-record` runs in an interactive terminal — no `$DISPLAY` setup is needed. If the keys have no effect, make sure you are in an interactive (TTY) terminal, not a piped/non-TTY session, and that it is focused; the letter equivalents `n` / `r` / `q` also work.

+#### Train using Hugging Face Jobs
+
+Hugging Face jobs let's you easily select hardware and run the training in the cloud. So if you don't have a powerful GPU or you need more VRAM or just want to train a model much faster use HF Jobs! It's pay as you go and you simply pay for each second of use, you can see the pricing and additional information [here](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/jobs).
+
+`lerobot-train` runs locally by default. To run on a HuggingFace GPU, pass `--job.target` with a hardware flavor name:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/so101_test \
+  --policy.type=act \
+  --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_policy \
+  --job.target=a10g-small
+```
+
+List available flavors and pricing with `hf jobs hardware`. The run streams its logs to your terminal; press Ctrl-C to detach (the job keeps running in the cloud). Re-attach or cancel with:
+
+```bash
+hf jobs logs <job-id>
+hf jobs cancel <job-id>
+```
+
+If your dataset exists only locally (not yet on the Hub), it is automatically pushed to a **private** Hub repo so the job can download it by `repo_id` (nothing is made public). The trained model is pushed to the model repo at the end of the run. To also push every intermediate checkpoint to the Hub as it is saved (so you can monitor progress mid-run), add `--save_checkpoint_to_hub=true` — this requires a runtime image that includes this feature.
+
+Every job (and any dataset pushed by the run) is tagged `lerobot` so it's easy to find on the Hub. Add your own with `--job.tags '["my-tag"]'`.
+
+By default the job is capped at `2d` (48h) of wall-clock. Override it with an HF Jobs duration string, e.g. `--job.timeout=4h` to fail faster or `--job.timeout=7d` for a longer run.
+
+> **Note:** the model repo is created up front (it holds the staged training config the job runs from). If a run fails before the model is pushed, that repo is left on the Hub so you can inspect it — it is not deleted automatically, so repeated failures can leave empty repos behind. Remove one with `hf repo delete <repo-id>`.
+
+**Prerequisites:** run `hf auth login` before submitting. For Weights & Biases integration, run `wandb login` or set `WANDB_API_KEY` on your machine — the key is forwarded to the job automatically.
+
+**Resuming on a job.** Adding `--job.target` to a resume command runs the resume in the cloud — the same command works locally or remotely. The checkpoint repo is the source of truth, and new checkpoints continue the lineage in the same repo:
+
+```bash
+# resume a Hub run on a job (its checkpoints are already on the Hub)
+lerobot-train --config_path=${HF_USER}/my_policy --resume=true --job.target=a10g-small
+
+# resume a LOCAL run on a job — the checkpoint is uploaded to a private Hub repo first,
+# then the job resumes from it (a local-only dataset is uploaded the same way)
+lerobot-train \
+  --config_path=outputs/train/act_so101_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model/train_config.json \
+  --resume=true \
+  --job.target=a10g-small
+```
+
+Job settings come from the current command, so override `--job.target`, `--job.timeout`, etc. as needed; for the resumed run to itself be resumable later, keep `--save_checkpoint_to_hub=true`.
+

 ## Run inference and evaluate your policy
 
-You can use the `record` script from [`lerobot/record.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/record.py) with a policy checkpoint as input, to run inference and evaluate your policy.

+Use `lerobot-rollout` to deploy a trained policy on your robot. You can choose different strategies depending on your needs:
+
+The examples below load the model from `--policy.path`. To pin a specific pushed version — useful once `--save_checkpoint_to_hub=true` has committed several checkpoints — add `--policy.pretrained_revision` with a commit hash, branch, or tag. Each pushed checkpoint is tagged with its step (e.g. `--policy.pretrained_revision=010000`), so you can recover a checkpoint by step without looking up its commit sha.

-2. The name of dataset begins by `eval` to reflect that you are running inference (e.g. `${HF_USER}/eval_act_so101_test`).
+- `base`: Autonomous rollout with no data recording (useful for quick evaluation)
+- `sentry`: Continuous recording with auto-upload (useful for large-scale evaluation)
+- `highlight`: Ring buffer recording with keystroke save (useful for capturing interesting events)
+- `dagger`: Human-in-the-loop data collection (see [HIL Data Collection](./hil_data_collection))
+- `episodic`: Episode-oriented policy recording with reset phases between episodes
+
+All strategies support `--inference.type=rtc` for smooth execution with slow VLA models (Pi0, Pi0.5, SmolVLA).

-# Imitation Learning in Sim
-
-This tutorial will explain how to train a neural network to control a robot in simulation with imitation learning.
-
-**You'll learn:**
-
-1. How to record a dataset in simulation with [gym-hil](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-hil) and visualize the dataset.
-2. How to train a policy using your data.
-3. How to evaluate your policy in simulation and visualize the results.
-
-For the simulation environment we use the same [repo](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-hil) that is also being used by the Human-In-the-Loop (HIL) reinforcement learning algorithm.
-This environment is based on [MuJoCo](https://mujoco.org) and allows you to record datasets in LeRobotDataset format.
-Teleoperation is easiest with a controller like the Logitech F710, but you can also use your keyboard if you are up for the challenge.
-
-## Installation
-
-First, install the `gym_hil` package within the LeRobot environment, go to your LeRobot folder and run this command:
-
-```bash
-pip install -e ".[hilserl]"
-```
-
-## Teleoperate and Record a Dataset
-
-To use `gym_hil` with LeRobot, you need to use a configuration file. An example config file can be found [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/aractingi/lerobot-example-config-files/blob/main/env_config_gym_hil_il.json).
-
-To teleoperate and collect a dataset, we need to modify this config file and you should add your `repo_id` here: `"repo_id": "il_gym",` and `"num_episodes": 30,` and make sure you set `mode` to `record`, "mode": "record".
-
-If you do not have a Nvidia GPU also change `"device": "cuda"` parameter in the config file (for example to `mps` for MacOS).
-
-By default the config file assumes you use a controller. To use your keyboard please change the envoirment specified at `"task"` in the config file and set it to `"PandaPickCubeKeyboard-v0"`.
-
-Then we can run this command to start:
-
-<hfoptions id="teleop_sim">
-<hfoption id="Linux">
-
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.scripts.rl.gym_manipulator --config_path path/to/env_config_gym_hil_il.json

-mjpython -m lerobot.scripts.rl.gym_manipulator --config_path path/to/env_config_gym_hil_il.json
-```
-
-</hfoption>
-</hfoptions>
-
-Once rendered you can teleoperate the robot with the gamepad or keyboard, below you can find the gamepad/keyboard controls.
-
-Note that to teleoperate the robot you have to hold the "Human Take Over Pause Policy" Button `RB` to enable control!

-
-**Keyboard controls**
-
-For keyboard controls use the `spacebar` to enable control and the following keys to move the robot:
-
-```bash
-  Arrow keys: Move in X-Y plane
-  Shift and Shift_R: Move in Z axis
-  Right Ctrl and Left Ctrl: Open and close gripper
-  ESC: Exit
-```
-
-## Visualize a dataset
-
-If you uploaded your dataset to the hub you can [visualize your dataset online](https://huggingface.co/spaces/lerobot/visualize_dataset) by copy pasting your repo id.

-
-## Train a policy
-
-To train a policy to control your robot, use the [`lerobot-train`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/scripts/train.py) script. A few arguments are required. Here is an example command:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \
-  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/il_gym \
-  --policy.type=act \
-  --output_dir=outputs/train/il_sim_test \
-  --job_name=il_sim_test \
-  --policy.device=cuda \
-  --wandb.enable=true
-```
-
-Let's explain the command:
-
-1. We provided the dataset as argument with `--dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/il_gym`.
-2. We provided the policy with `policy.type=act`. This loads configurations from [`configuration_act.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/policies/act/configuration_act.py). Importantly, this policy will automatically adapt to the number of motor states, motor actions and cameras of your robot (e.g. `laptop` and `phone`) which have been saved in your dataset.
-3. We provided `policy.device=cuda` since we are training on a Nvidia GPU, but you could use `policy.device=mps` to train on Apple silicon.
-4. We provided `wandb.enable=true` to use [Weights and Biases](https://docs.wandb.ai/quickstart) for visualizing training plots. This is optional but if you use it, make sure you are logged in by running `wandb login`.
-
-Training should take several hours, 100k steps (which is the default) will take about 1h on Nvidia A100. You will find checkpoints in `outputs/train/il_sim_test/checkpoints`.
-
-#### Train using Collab
-
-If your local computer doesn't have a powerful GPU you could utilize Google Collab to train your model by following the [ACT training notebook](./notebooks#training-act).
-
-#### Upload policy checkpoints
-
-Once training is done, upload the latest checkpoint with:
-
-```bash
-huggingface-cli upload ${HF_USER}/il_sim_test \
-  outputs/train/il_sim_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
-```
-
-You can also upload intermediate checkpoints with:
-
-```bash
-CKPT=010000
-huggingface-cli upload ${HF_USER}/il_sim_test${CKPT} \
-  outputs/train/il_sim_test/checkpoints/${CKPT}/pretrained_model
-```
-
-## Evaluate your policy in Sim
-
-To evaluate your policy we have to use the config file that can be found [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/aractingi/lerobot-example-config-files/blob/main/eval_config_gym_hil.json).
-
-Make sure to replace the `repo_id` with the dataset you trained on, for example `pepijn223/il_sim_dataset` and replace the `pretrained_policy_name_or_path` with your model id, for example `pepijn223/il_sim_model`
-
-Then you can run this command to visualize your trained policy

-> [!WARNING]
-> While the main workflow of training ACT in simulation is straightforward, there is significant room for exploring how to set up the task, define the initial state of the environment, and determine the type of data required during collection to learn the most effective policy. If your trained policy doesn't perform well, investigate the quality of the dataset it was trained on using our visualizers, as well as the action values and various hyperparameters related to ACT and the simulation.

+# Implement your own Robot Processor
+
+In this tutorial, you'll learn how to implement your own Robot Processor.
+It begins by exploring the need for a custom processor, then uses the `NormalizerProcessorStep` as the running example to explain how to implement, configure, and serialize a processor. Finally, it lists all helper processors that ship with LeRobot.
+
+## Why would you need a custom processor?
+
+In most cases, when reading raw data from sensors or when models output actions, you need to process this data to make it compatible with your target system. For example, a common need is normalizing data ranges to make them suitable for neural networks.
+
+LeRobot's `NormalizerProcessorStep` handles this crucial task:
+
+```python
+# Input: raw joint positions in [0, 180] degrees
+raw_action = torch.tensor([90.0, 45.0, 135.0])
+
+# After processing: normalized to [-1, 1] range for model training
+normalizer = NormalizerProcessorStep(features=features, norm_map=norm_map, stats=dataset_stats)
+normalized_result = normalizer(transition)
+# ...
+```
+
+Other common processing needs include:
+
+- **Device placement**: Moving tensors between CPU/GPU and converting data types
+- **Format conversion**: Transforming between different data structures
+- **Batching**: Adding/removing batch dimensions for model compatibility
+- **Safety constraints**: Applying limits to robot commands
+
+```python
+# Example pipeline combining multiple processors
+pipeline = PolicyProcessorPipeline([
+    RenameObservationsProcessorStep(rename_map={}),
+    AddBatchDimensionProcessorStep(),
+    NormalizerProcessorStep(features=features, stats=stats),
+    DeviceProcessorStep(device="cuda"),
+    # ...
+])
+```
+
+LeRobot provides a pipeline mechanism to implement sequences of processing steps for both input data and output actions, making it easy to compose these transformations in the right order for optimal performance.
+
+## How to implement your own processor?
+
+We'll use the `NormalizerProcessorStep` as our main example because it demonstrates essential processor patterns including state management, configuration serialization, and tensor handling that you'll commonly need.
+
+Prepare the sequence of processing steps necessary for your problem. A processor step is a class that implements the following methods:
+
+- `__call__`: implements the processing step for the input transition.
+- `get_config`: gets the configuration of the processor step.
+- `state_dict`: gets the state of the processor step.
+- `load_state_dict`: loads the state of the processor step.
+- `reset`: resets the state of the processor step.
+- `feature_contract`: displays the modification to the feature space during the processor step.
+
+### Implement the `__call__` method
+
+The `__call__` method is the core of your processor step. It takes an `EnvTransition` and returns a modified `EnvTransition`. Here's how the `NormalizerProcessorStep` works:
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+@ProcessorStepRegistry.register("normalizer_processor")
+class NormalizerProcessorStep(ProcessorStep):
+    """Normalize observations/actions using dataset statistics."""
+
+    features: dict[str, PolicyFeature]
+    norm_map: dict[FeatureType, NormalizationMode]
+    stats: dict[str, dict[str, Any]] | None = None
+    eps: float = 1e-8
+    _tensor_stats: dict = field(default_factory=dict, init=False, repr=False)
+
+    def __post_init__(self):
+        """Convert stats to tensors for efficient computation."""
+        self.stats = self.stats or {}
+        self._tensor_stats = to_tensor(self.stats, device=self.device, dtype=torch.float32)
+
+    def __call__(self, transition: EnvTransition) -> EnvTransition:
+        new_transition = transition.copy()
+        # Normalize observations
+        # ...
+        # Normalize action
+        # ...
+        return new_transition
+
+```
+
+See the full implementation in `src/lerobot/processor/normalize_processor.py` for complete details.
+
+**Key principles:**
+
+- **Always use `transition.copy()`** to avoid side effects
+- **Handle both observations and actions** consistently
+- **Separate config from state**: `get_config()` returns JSON-serializable params, `state_dict()` returns tensors
+- **Convert stats to tensors** in `__post_init__()` for efficient computation
+
+### Configuration and State Management
+
+Processors support serialization through three methods that separate configuration from tensor state. The `NormalizerProcessorStep` demonstrates this perfectly - it carries dataset statistics (tensors) in its state, and hyperparameters in its config:
+
+```python
+# Continuing the NormalizerProcessorStep example...
+
+def get_config(self) -> dict[str, Any]:
+    """JSON-serializable configuration (no tensors)."""
+    return {
+        "eps": self.eps,
+        "features": {k: {"type": v.type.value, "shape": v.shape} for k, v in self.features.items()},
+        "norm_map": {ft.value: nm.value for ft, nm in self.norm_map.items()},
+        # ...
+    }
+
+def state_dict(self) -> dict[str, torch.Tensor]:
+    """Tensor state only (e.g., dataset statistics)."""
+    flat: dict[str, torch.Tensor] = {}
+    for key, sub in self._tensor_stats.items():
+        for stat_name, tensor in sub.items():
+            flat[f"{key}.{stat_name}"] = tensor.cpu()  # Always save to CPU
+    return flat
+
+def load_state_dict(self, state: dict[str, torch.Tensor]) -> None:
+    """Restore tensor state at runtime."""
+    self._tensor_stats.clear()
+    for flat_key, tensor in state.items():
+        key, stat_name = flat_key.rsplit(".", 1)
+        # Load to processor's configured device
+        self._tensor_stats.setdefault(key, {})[stat_name] = tensor.to(
+            dtype=torch.float32, device=self.device
+        )
+        # ...
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+
+```python
+# Save (e.g., inside a policy)
+config = normalizer.get_config()
+tensors = normalizer.state_dict()
+
+# Restore (e.g., loading a pretrained policy)
+new_normalizer = NormalizerProcessorStep(**config)
+new_normalizer.load_state_dict(tensors)
+# Now new_normalizer has the same stats and configuration
+```
+
+### Transform features
+
+The `transform_features` method defines how your processor transforms feature names and shapes. This is crucial for policy configuration and debugging.
+
+For `NormalizerProcessorStep`, features are typically preserved unchanged since normalization doesn't alter keys or shapes:
+
+```python
+def transform_features(self, features: dict[PipelineFeatureType, dict[str, PolicyFeature]]) -> dict[PipelineFeatureType, dict[str, PolicyFeature]]:
+    """Normalization preserves all feature definitions."""
+    return features  # No changes to feature structure
+    # ...
+```
+
+When your processor renames or reshapes data, implement this method to reflect the mapping for downstream components. For example, a simple rename processor:
+
+```python
+def transform_features(self, features: dict[str, PolicyFeature]) -> dict[str, PolicyFeature]:
+    # Simple renaming
+    if "pixels" in features:
+        features["observation.image"] = features.pop("pixels")
+
+    # Pattern-based renaming
+    for key in list(features.keys()):
+        if key.startswith("env_state."):
+            suffix = key[len("env_state."):]
+            features[f"observation.{suffix}"] = features.pop(key)
+            # ...
+
+    return features
+```
+
+**Key principles:**
+
+- Use `features.pop(old_key)` to remove and get the old feature
+- Use `features[new_key] = old_feature` to add the renamed feature
+- Always return the modified features dictionary
+- Document transformations clearly in the docstring
+
+### Using overrides
+
+You can override step parameters at load-time using `overrides`. This is handy for non-serializable objects or site-specific settings. It works both in policy factories and with `DataProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained(...)`.
+
+**Foundational model adaptation**: This is particularly useful when working with foundational pretrained policies where you rarely have access to the original training statistics. You can inject your own dataset statistics to adapt the normalizer to your specific robot or environment data.
+
+Example: during policy evaluation on the robot, override the device and rename map.
+Use this to run a policy trained on CUDA on a CPU-only robot, or to remap camera keys when the robot uses different names than the dataset.
+
+Direct usage with `from_pretrained`:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.processor import RobotProcessorPipeline
+
+# Load a foundational policy trained on diverse robot data
+# but adapt normalization to your specific robot/environment
+new_stats = LeRobotDataset(repo_id="username/my-dataset").meta.stats
+processor = RobotProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained(
+    "huggingface/foundational-robot-policy",  # Pretrained foundation model
+    overrides={
+        "normalizer_processor": {"stats": new_stats},     # Inject your robot's statistics
+        "device_processor": {"device": "cuda:0"},         # registry name for registered steps
+        "rename_processor": {"rename_map": robot_key_map}, # Map your robot's observation keys
+        # ...
+    },
+)
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+Based on analysis of all LeRobot processor implementations, here are the key patterns and practices:
+
+### 1. **Safe Data Handling**
+
+Always create copies of input data to avoid unintended side effects. Use `transition.copy()` and `observation.copy()` rather than modifying data in-place. This prevents your processor from accidentally affecting other components in the pipeline.
+
+Check for required data before processing and handle missing data gracefully. If your processor expects certain keys (like `"pixels"` for image processing), validate their presence first. For optional data, use safe access patterns like `transition.get()` and handle `None` values appropriately.
+
+When data validation fails, provide clear, actionable error messages that help users understand what went wrong and how to fix it.
+
+### 2. **Choose Appropriate Base Classes**
+
+LeRobot provides specialized base classes that reduce boilerplate code and ensure consistency. Use `ObservationProcessorStep` when you only need to modify observations, `ActionProcessorStep` for action-only processing, and `RobotActionProcessorStep` specifically for dictionary-based robot actions.
+
+Only inherit directly from `ProcessorStep` when you need full control over the entire transition or when processing multiple transition components simultaneously. The specialized base classes handle the transition management for you and provide type safety.
+
+### 3. **Registration and Naming**
+
+Register your processors with descriptive, namespaced names using `@ProcessorStepRegistry.register()`. Use organization prefixes like `"robotics_lab/safety_clipper"` or `"acme_corp/vision_enhancer"` to avoid naming conflicts. Avoid generic names like `"processor"` or `"step"` that could clash with other implementations.
+
+Good registration makes your processors discoverable and enables clean serialization/deserialization when saving and loading pipelines.
+
+### 4. **State Management Patterns**
+
+Distinguish between configuration parameters (JSON-serializable values) and internal state (tensors, buffers). Use dataclass fields with `init=False, repr=False` for internal state that shouldn't appear in the constructor or string representation.
+
+Implement the `reset()` method to clear internal state between episodes. This is crucial for stateful processors that accumulate data over time, like moving averages or temporal filters.
+
+Remember that `get_config()` should only return JSON-serializable configuration, while `state_dict()` handles tensor state separately.
+
+### 5. **Input Validation and Error Handling**
+
+Validate input types and shapes before processing. Check tensor properties like `dtype` and dimensions to ensure compatibility with your algorithms. For robot actions, verify that required pose components or joint values are present and within expected ranges.
+
+Use early returns for edge cases where no processing is needed. Provide clear, descriptive error messages that include the expected vs. actual data types or shapes. This makes debugging much easier for users.
+
+### 6. **Device and Dtype Awareness**
+
+Design your processors to automatically adapt to the device and dtype of input tensors. Internal tensors (like normalization statistics) should match the input tensor's device and dtype to ensure compatibility with multi-GPU training, mixed precision, and distributed setups.
+
+Implement a `to()` method that moves your processor's internal state to the specified device. Check device/dtype compatibility at runtime and automatically migrate internal state when needed. This pattern enables seamless operation across different hardware configurations without manual intervention.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+You now have all the tools to implement custom processors in LeRobot! The key steps are:
+
+1. **Define your processor** as a dataclass with the required methods (`__call__`, `get_config`, `state_dict`, `load_state_dict`, `reset`, `transform_features`)
+2. **Register it** using `@ProcessorStepRegistry.register("name")` for discoverability
+3. **Integrate it** into a `DataProcessorPipeline` with other processing steps
+4. **Use base classes** like `ObservationProcessorStep` when possible to reduce boilerplate
+5. **Implement device/dtype awareness** to support multi-GPU and mixed precision setups
+
+The processor system is designed to be modular and composable, allowing you to build complex data processing pipelines from simple, focused components. Whether you're preprocessing sensor data for training or post-processing model outputs for robot execution, custom processors give you the flexibility to handle any data transformation your robotics application requires.
+
+Key principles for robust processors:
+
+- **Device/dtype adaptation**: Internal tensors should match input tensors
+- **Clear error messages**: Help users understand what went wrong
+- **Base class usage**: Leverage specialized base classes to reduce boilerplate
+- **Feature contracts**: Declare data structure changes with `transform_features()`
+
+Start simple, test thoroughly, and ensure your processors work seamlessly across different hardware configurations!

+# Policy Deployment (lerobot-rollout)
+
+`lerobot-rollout` is the single CLI for deploying trained policies on real robots. It supports multiple execution strategies and inference backends, from quick evaluation to continuous recording and human-in-the-loop data collection.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+No extra dependencies are needed beyond your robot and policy extras.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+    --strategy.type=base \
+    --policy.path=lerobot/act_koch_real \
+    --robot.type=koch_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+    --task="pick up cube" \
+    --duration=30
+```
+
+This runs the policy for 30 seconds with no recording.
+
+---
+
+## Strategies
+
+Select a strategy with `--strategy.type=<name>`. Each strategy defines a different control loop with its own recording and interaction semantics.
+
+### Base (`--strategy.type=base`)
+
+Autonomous policy execution with no data recording. Use this for quick evaluation, demos, or when you only need to observe the robot.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+    --strategy.type=base \
+    --policy.path=${HF_USER}/my_policy \
+    --robot.type=so100_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+    --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
+    --task="Put lego brick into the box" \
+    --duration=60
+```
+
+| Flag             | Description                                            |
+| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `--duration`     | Run time in seconds (0 = infinite)                     |
+| `--task`         | Task description passed to the policy                  |
+| `--display_data` | Stream observations/actions to Rerun for visualization |
+
+### Sentry (`--strategy.type=sentry`)
+
+Continuous autonomous recording with periodic upload to the Hugging Face Hub. Episode boundaries are auto-computed from camera resolution and FPS so each saved episode produces a complete video file, keeping uploads efficient.
+
+Policy state (hidden state, RTC queue) persists across episode boundaries: the robot does not reset between episodes.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+    --strategy.type=sentry \
+    --strategy.upload_every_n_episodes=5 \
+    --policy.path=${HF_USER}/my_policy \
+    --robot.type=so100_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+    --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
+    --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/rollout_eval_data \
+    --dataset.single_task="Put lego brick into the box" \
+    --duration=3600
+```
+
+| Flag                                   | Description                                                 |
+| -------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--strategy.upload_every_n_episodes`   | Push to Hub every N episodes (default: 5)                   |
+| `--strategy.target_video_file_size_mb` | Target video file size for episode rotation (default: auto) |
+| `--dataset.repo_id`                    | **Required.** Hub repository for the recorded dataset       |
+| `--dataset.push_to_hub`                | Whether to push to Hub on teardown (default: true)          |
+
+### Highlight (`--strategy.type=highlight`)
+
+Autonomous rollout with on-demand recording via a memory-bounded ring buffer. The robot runs continuously while the buffer captures the last N seconds of telemetry. Press the save key to flush the buffer and start live recording; press it again to save the episode.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+    --strategy.type=highlight \
+    --strategy.ring_buffer_seconds=30 \
+    --strategy.save_key=s \
+    --strategy.push_key=h \
+    --policy.path=${HF_USER}/my_policy \
+    --robot.type=koch_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+    --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/rollout_highlight_data \
+    --dataset.single_task="Pick up the red cube"
+```
+
+**Keyboard controls:**
+
+| Key                | Action                                                   |
+| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `s` (configurable) | Start recording (flushes buffer) / stop and save episode |
+| `h` (configurable) | Push dataset to Hub                                      |
+| `ESC`              | Stop the session                                         |
+
+| Flag                                   | Description                                    |
+| -------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| `--strategy.ring_buffer_seconds`       | Duration of buffered telemetry (default: 30)   |
+| `--strategy.ring_buffer_max_memory_mb` | Memory cap for the ring buffer (default: 2048) |
+| `--strategy.save_key`                  | Key to toggle recording (default: `s`)         |
+| `--strategy.push_key`                  | Key to push to Hub (default: `h`)              |
+
+### DAgger (`--strategy.type=dagger`)
+
+Human-in-the-loop data collection. Alternates between autonomous policy execution and human intervention via a teleoperator. Intervention frames are tagged with `intervention=True`. Requires a teleoperator (`--teleop.type`).
+
+See the [Human-In-the-Loop Data Collection](./hil_data_collection) guide for a detailed walkthrough.
+
+**Corrections-only mode** (default): Only human correction windows are recorded. Each correction becomes one episode.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+    --strategy.type=dagger \
+    --strategy.num_episodes=20 \
+    --policy.path=outputs/pretrain/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model \
+    --robot.type=bi_openarm_follower \
+    --teleop.type=bi_openarm_mini \
+    --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/rollout_hil_data \
+    --dataset.single_task="Fold the T-shirt"
+```
+
+**Continuous recording mode** (`--strategy.record_autonomous=true`): Both autonomous and correction frames are recorded with time-based episode rotation (same as Sentry).
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+    --strategy.type=dagger \
+    --strategy.record_autonomous=true \
+    --strategy.num_episodes=50 \
+    --policy.path=${HF_USER}/my_policy \
+    --robot.type=so100_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+    --teleop.type=so101_leader \
+    --teleop.port=/dev/ttyACM1 \
+    --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/rollout_dagger_data \
+    --dataset.single_task="Grasp the block"
+```
+
+**Keyboard controls** (default input device):
+
+| Key     | Action                                      |
+| ------- | ------------------------------------------- |
+| `Space` | Pause / resume policy execution             |
+| `Tab`   | Start / stop human correction               |
+| `Enter` | Push dataset to Hub (corrections-only mode) |
+| `ESC`   | Stop the session                            |
+
+Foot pedal input is also supported via `--strategy.input_device=pedal`. Configure pedal codes with `--strategy.pedal.*` flags.
+
+| Flag                                 | Description                                             |
+| ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--strategy.num_episodes`            | Number of correction episodes to record (default: 10)   |
+| `--strategy.record_autonomous`       | Record autonomous frames too (default: false)           |
+| `--strategy.upload_every_n_episodes` | Push to Hub every N episodes (default: 5)               |
+| `--strategy.input_device`            | Input device: `keyboard` or `pedal` (default: keyboard) |
+| `--teleop.type`                      | **Required.** Teleoperator type                         |
+
+### Episodic (`--strategy.type=episodic`)
+
+Episode-oriented recording that mirrors the behavior of `lerobot-record`. The policy drives the robot for each episode; an optional teleoperator can drive the robot during the reset phase between episodes.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+    --strategy.type=episodic \
+    --policy.path=${HF_USER}/my_policy \
+    --robot.type=so100_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+    --teleop.type=so100_leader \
+    --teleop.port=/dev/ttyACM1 \
+    --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_eval_data \
+    --dataset.num_episodes=20 \
+    --dataset.episode_time_s=30 \
+    --dataset.reset_time_s=10 \
+    --dataset.single_task="Pick up the red cube"
+```
+
+Teleop is optional — if omitted the robot holds its position during the reset phase.
+
+**Keyboard controls:**
+
+| Key         | Action                           |
+| ----------- | -------------------------------- |

+| ----------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--dataset.num_episodes`                        | Number of episodes to record                                               |

+| `--teleop.type`                                 | Optional. Teleoperator to drive the robot during resets                    |
+| `--strategy.reset_to_initial_position`          | Whether to reset the robot to its initial position between episodes        |
+| `--strategy.smooth_leader_to_follower_handover` | Whether to turn on or off the leader -> follower smooth handover behavior. |
+
+---
+
+## Inference Backends
+
+Select a backend with `--inference.type=<name>`. All strategies work with both backends.
+
+### Sync (default)
+
+One policy call per control tick. The main loop blocks until the action is computed.
+
+Works with all policies. No extra flags needed.
+
+### Real-Time Chunking (`--inference.type=rtc`)
+
+A background thread produces action chunks asynchronously. The main control loop polls for the next ready action while the policy computes the next chunk in parallel.
+
+Use RTC with large, slow VLA models (Pi0, Pi0.5, SmolVLA) for smooth, continuous motion despite high inference latency.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+    --strategy.type=base \
+    --inference.type=rtc \
+    --inference.rtc.execution_horizon=10 \
+    --inference.rtc.max_guidance_weight=10.0 \
+    --policy.path=${HF_USER}/pi0_policy \
+    --robot.type=so100_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+    --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
+    --task="Pick up the cube" \
+    --duration=60 \
+    --device=cuda
+```
+
+| Flag                                        | Description                                                    |
+| ------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |

+## Programmatic Usage
+
+For custom deployments (e.g. with kinematics processors), use the rollout module API directly:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.rollout import BaseStrategyConfig, RolloutConfig, build_rollout_context
+from lerobot.rollout.inference import SyncInferenceConfig
+from lerobot.rollout.strategies import BaseStrategy
+from lerobot.utils.process import ProcessSignalHandler
+
+cfg = RolloutConfig(
+    robot=my_robot_config,
+    policy=my_policy_config,
+    strategy=BaseStrategyConfig(),
+    inference=SyncInferenceConfig(),
+    fps=30,
+    duration=60,
+    task="my task",
+)
+
+signal_handler = ProcessSignalHandler(use_threads=True)
+ctx = build_rollout_context(
+    cfg,
+    signal_handler.shutdown_event,
+    robot_action_processor=my_custom_action_processor,       # optional
+    robot_observation_processor=my_custom_obs_processor,     # optional
+)
+
+strategy = BaseStrategy(cfg.strategy)
+try:
+    strategy.setup(ctx)
+    strategy.run(ctx)
+finally:
+    strategy.teardown(ctx)
+```
+
+See `examples/so100_to_so100_EE/rollout.py` and `examples/phone_to_so100/rollout.py` for full examples with kinematics processors.

+
+LeRobot uses [TorchCodec](https://github.com/meta-pytorch/torchcodec) for video decoding by default, which requires `ffmpeg`.

+> **Platform support:** TorchCodec is **not available** on macOS Intel (x86_64), Linux ARM (aarch64, arm64, armv7l), or Windows with PyTorch < 2.8. On these platforms, LeRobot automatically falls back to `pyav` — so you do not need to install `ffmpeg` and can skip to Step 3.

+<hfoption id="uv (PyTorch >= 2.10 only)">
+
+Starting with **PyTorch >= 2.10** (TorchCodec ≥ 0.10), TorchCodec can dynamically link to a system-wide `ffmpeg` installation. This is useful when using `uv` or other non-`conda` environment managers:

+```bash
+# Ubuntu/Debian

-    - Know the physical range of motion of each motors in order to only send commands within this range.
-    - Normalize raw motors positions to sensible continuous values (e.g. percentages, degrees) instead of arbitrary discrete value dependant on the specific motor used that will not replicate elsewhere.

Feedback could be anything controllable on the teleoperation device that could help the person controlling it understand the consequences of the actions sent. Think motion/force feedback on a leader arm, vibrations on a gamepad controller for example. To implement a teleoperator, you can follow this same tutorial and adapt it for these two methods.
 
+## Using Your Own `LeRobot` Devices 🔌
+
+You can easily extend `lerobot` with your own custom hardware—be it a camera, robot, or teleoperation device—by creating a separate, installable Python package. If you follow a few simple conventions, the `lerobot` command-line tools (like `lerobot-teleop` and `lerobot-record`) will **automatically discover and integrate your creations** without requiring any changes to the `lerobot` source code.
+
+This guide outlines the conventions your plugin must follow.
+
+### The 4 Core Conventions
+
+To ensure your custom device is discoverable, you must adhere to the following four rules.
+
+#### 1\. Create an Installable Package with a Specific Prefix
+
+Your project must be a standard, installable Python package. Crucially, the name of your package (as defined in `pyproject.toml` or `setup.py`) must begin with one of these prefixes:
+
+- `lerobot_robot_` for a robot.
+- `lerobot_camera_` for a camera.
+- `lerobot_teleoperator_` for a teleoperation device.
+
+This prefix system is how `lerobot` automatically finds your plugin in the Python environment.
+
+#### 2\. Follow the `SomethingConfig`/`Something` Naming Pattern
+
+Your device's implementation class must be named after its configuration class, simply by removing the `Config` suffix.
+
+- **Config Class:** `MyAwesomeTeleopConfig`
+- **Device Class:** `MyAwesomeTeleop`
+
+#### 3\. Place Your Files in a Predictable Structure
+
+The device class (`MyAwesomeTeleop`) must be located in a predictable module relative to its configuration class (`MyAwesomeTeleopConfig`). `lerobot` will automatically search in these locations:
+
+- In the **same module** as the config class.
+- In a **submodule named after the device** (e.g., `my_awesome_teleop.py`).
+
+The recommended and simplest structure is to place them in separate, clearly named files within the same directory.
+
+#### 4\. Expose Classes in `__init__.py`
+
+Your package's `__init__.py` file should import and expose both the configuration and the device classes, making them easily accessible.
+
+### Putting It All Together: A Complete Example
+
+Let's create a new teleoperator called `my_awesome_teleop`.
+
+#### Directory Structure
+
+Here is what the project folder should look like. The package name, `lerobot_teleoperator_my_awesome_teleop`, follows **Convention \#1**.
+
+```
+lerobot_teleoperator_my_awesome_teleop/
+├── pyproject.toml # (or setup.py) lists lerobot as a dependency
+└── lerobot_teleoperator_my_awesome_teleop/
+    ├── __init__.py
+    ├── config_my_awesome_teleop.py
+    └── my_awesome_teleop.py
+```
+
+#### File Contents
+
+- **`config_my_awesome_teleop.py`**: Defines the configuration class. Note the `Config` suffix (**Convention \#2**).
+
+  ```python
+  from dataclasses import dataclass
+
+  from lerobot.teleoperators.config import TeleoperatorConfig
+
+  @TeleoperatorConfig.register_subclass("my_awesome_teleop")
+  @dataclass
+  class MyAwesomeTeleopConfig(TeleoperatorConfig):
+      # Your configuration fields go here
+      port: str = "192.168.1.1"
+  ```
+
+- **`my_awesome_teleop.py`**: Implements the device. The class name `MyAwesomeTeleop` matches its config class name (**Convention \#2**). This file structure adheres to **Convention \#3**.
+
+  ```python
+  from lerobot.teleoperators.teleoperator import Teleoperator
+
+  from .config_my_awesome_teleop import MyAwesomeTeleopConfig
+
+  class MyAwesomeTeleop(Teleoperator):
+      config_class = MyAwesomeTeleopConfig
+      name = "my_awesome_teleop"
+
+      def __init__(self, config: MyAwesomeTeleopConfig):
+          super().__init__(config)
+          self.config = config
+
+      # Your device logic (e.g., connect) goes here
+  ```
+
+- **`__init__.py`**: Exposes the key classes (**Convention \#4**).
+
+  ```python
+  from .config_my_awesome_teleop import MyAwesomeTeleopConfig
+  from .my_awesome_teleop import MyAwesomeTeleop
+  ```
+
+### Installation and Usage
+
+1.  **Install your new plugin in your Python environment.** You can install your local plugin package using `pip`'s editable mode or from PyPi.
+
+    ```bash
+    # Locally
+    # Navigate to your plugin's root directory and install it
+    cd lerobot_teleoperator_my_awesome_teleop
+    pip install -e .
+
+    # From PyPi
+    pip install lerobot_teleoperator_my_awesome_teleop
+    ```
+
+2.  **Use it directly from the command line.** Now, you can use your custom device by referencing its type.
+
+    ```bash
+    lerobot-teleoperate --teleop.type=my_awesome_teleop \
+    # other arguments
+    ```
+
+And that's it\! Your custom device is now fully integrated.

+# Introduction to Processors
+
+In robotics, there's a fundamental mismatch between the data that robots and humans produce and what machine learning models expect.
+Robots output raw sensor data like camera images and joint positions that need normalization, batching, and device placement before models can process them.
+Language instructions from humans must be tokenized into numerical representations, and different robots use different coordinate systems that need standardization.
+
+The challenge extends to model outputs as well.
+Models might output end-effector positions while robots need joint-space commands, or teleoperators produce relative movements while robots expect absolute commands.
+Model predictions are often normalized and need conversion back to real-world scales.
+
+Cross-domain translation adds another layer of complexity.
+Training data from one robot setup needs adaptation for deployment on different hardware, models trained with specific camera configurations must work with new arrangements, and datasets with different naming conventions need harmonization.
+
+**That's where processors come in.** They serve as universal translators that bridge these gaps, ensuring seamless data flow from sensors to models to actuators.
+Processors handle all the preprocessing and postprocessing steps needed to convert raw environment data into model-ready inputs and vice versa.
+
+This means that your favorite policy can be used like this:
+
+```python
+import torch
+
+from lerobot.datasets import LeRobotDataset
+from lerobot.policies import make_pre_post_processors
+from lerobot.policies.your_policy import YourPolicy
+from lerobot.processor import RobotProcessorPipeline, PolicyProcessorPipeline
+dataset = LeRobotDataset("hf_user/dataset", episodes=[0])
+sample = dataset[10]
+
+model = YourPolicy.from_pretrained(
+    "hf_user/model",
+)
+model.eval()
+model.to("cuda")
+preprocessor, postprocessor = make_pre_post_processors(model.config, pretrained_path="hf_user/model", dataset_stats=dataset.meta.stats)
+
+preprocessed_sample = preprocessor(sample)
+action = model.select_action(preprocessed_sample)
+postprocessed_action = postprocessor(action)
+```
+
+## What are Processors?
+
+In robotics, data comes in many forms: images from cameras, joint positions from sensors, text instructions from users, and more. Each type of data requires specific transformations before a model can use it effectively. Models need this data to be:
+
+- **Normalized**: Scaled to appropriate ranges for neural network processing
+- **Batched**: Organized with proper dimensions for batch processing
+- **Tokenized**: Text converted to numerical representations
+- **Device-placed**: Moved to the right hardware (CPU/GPU)
+- **Type-converted**: Cast to appropriate data types
+
+Processors handle these transformations through composable, reusable steps that can be chained together into pipelines. Think of them as a modular assembly line where each station performs a specific transformation on your data.
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### EnvTransition: The Universal Data Container
+
+The `EnvTransition` is the fundamental data structure that flows through all processors.
+It's a typed dictionary that represents a complete robot-environment interaction:
+
+- **OBSERVATION**: All sensor data (images, states, proprioception)
+- **ACTION**: The action to execute or that was executed
+- **REWARD**: Reinforcement learning signal
+- **DONE/TRUNCATED**: Episode boundary indicators
+- **INFO**: Arbitrary metadata
+- **COMPLEMENTARY_DATA**: Task descriptions, indices, padding flags, inter-step data
+
+### ProcessorStep: The Building Block
+
+A `ProcessorStep` is a single transformation unit that processes transitions. It's an abstract base class with two required methods:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.processor import ProcessorStep, EnvTransition
+
+class MyProcessorStep(ProcessorStep):
+    """Example processor step - inherit and implement abstract methods."""
+
+    def __call__(self, transition: EnvTransition) -> EnvTransition:
+        """Transform the transition - REQUIRED abstract method."""
+        # Your processing logic here
+        return transition
+
+    def transform_features(self, features):
+        """Declare how this step transforms feature shapes/types - REQUIRED abstract method."""
+        return features  # Most processors return features unchanged
+```
+
+`__call__` is the core of your processor step. It takes an `EnvTransition` and returns a modified `EnvTransition`.
+
+`transform_features` is used to declare how this step transforms feature shapes/types.
+
+### DataProcessorPipeline: The Generic Orchestrator
+
+The `DataProcessorPipeline[TInput, TOutput]` chains multiple `ProcessorStep` instances together:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.processor import RobotProcessorPipeline, PolicyProcessorPipeline
+
+# For robot hardware (unbatched data)
+robot_processor = RobotProcessorPipeline[RobotAction, RobotAction](
+    steps=[step1, step2, step3],
+    name="robot_pipeline"
+)
+
+# For model training/inference (batched data)
+policy_processor = PolicyProcessorPipeline[dict[str, Any], dict[str, Any]](
+    steps=[step1, step2, step3],
+    name="policy_pipeline"
+)
+```
+
+## RobotProcessorPipeline vs PolicyProcessorPipeline
+
+The key distinction is in the data structures they handle:
+
+| Aspect          | RobotProcessorPipeline                       | PolicyProcessorPipeline                  |
+| --------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
+| **Input**       | `dict[str, Any]` - Individual robot values   | `dict[str, Any]` - Batched tensors       |
+| **Output**      | `dict[str, Any]` - Individual robot commands | `torch.Tensor` - Policy predictions      |
+| **Use Case**    | Real-time robot control                      | Model training/inference                 |
+| **Data Format** | Unbatched, heterogeneous                     | Batched, homogeneous                     |
+| **Examples**    | `{"joint_1": 0.5}`                           | `{"observation.state": tensor([[0.5]])}` |
+
+**Use `RobotProcessorPipeline`** for robot hardware interfaces:
+
+```python
+# Robot data structures: dict[str, Any] for observations and actions
+robot_obs: dict[str, Any] = {
+    "joint_1": 0.5,           # Individual joint values
+    "joint_2": -0.3,
+    "camera_0": image_array   # Raw camera data
+}
+
+robot_action: dict[str, Any] = {
+    "joint_1": 0.2,          # Target joint positions
+    "joint_2": 0.1,
+    "gripper": 0.8
+}
+```
+
+**Use `PolicyProcessorPipeline`** for model training and batch processing:
+
+```python
+# Policy data structures: batch dicts and tensors
+policy_batch: dict[str, Any] = {
+    "observation.state": torch.tensor([[0.5, -0.3]]),      # Batched states
+    "observation.images.camera0": torch.tensor(...),        # Batched images
+    "action": torch.tensor([[0.2, 0.1, 0.8]])              # Batched actions
+}
+
+policy_action: torch.Tensor = torch.tensor([[0.2, 0.1, 0.8]])  # Model output tensor
+```
+
+## Converter Functions
+
+LeRobot provides converter functions to bridge different data formats in `lerobot.processor.converters`. These functions handle the crucial translations between robot hardware data structures, policy model formats, and the internal `EnvTransition` representation that flows through processor pipelines.
+
+| Category                       | Function                      | Description                     |
+| ------------------------------ | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
+| **Robot Hardware Converters**  | `robot_action_to_transition`  | Robot dict → EnvTransition      |
+|                                | `observation_to_transition`   | Robot obs → EnvTransition       |
+|                                | `transition_to_robot_action`  | EnvTransition → Robot dict      |
+| **Policy/Training Converters** | `batch_to_transition`         | Batch dict → EnvTransition      |
+|                                | `transition_to_batch`         | EnvTransition → Batch dict      |
+|                                | `policy_action_to_transition` | Policy tensor → EnvTransition   |
+|                                | `transition_to_policy_action` | EnvTransition → Policy tensor   |
+| **Utilities**                  | `create_transition`           | Build transitions with defaults |
+|                                | `identity_transition`         | Pass-through converter          |
+
+The key insight is that **robot hardware converters** work with individual values and dictionaries, while **policy/training converters** work with batched tensors and model outputs. The converter functions automatically handle the structural differences, so your processor steps can focus on the core transformations without worrying about data format compatibility.
+
+## Processor Examples
+
+The following examples demonstrate real-world processor configurations for policy training and inference.
+
+Here is an example processor for policy training and inference:
+
+```python
+# Training data preprocessing (optimized order for GPU performance)
+training_preprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline[dict[str, Any], dict[str, Any]](
+    steps=[
+        RenameObservationsProcessorStep(rename_map={}),     # Standardize keys
+        AddBatchDimensionProcessorStep(),                   # Add batch dims
+        TokenizerProcessorStep(tokenizer_name="...", ...),  # Tokenize language
+        DeviceProcessorStep(device="cuda"),                 # Move to GPU first
+        NormalizerProcessorStep(features=..., stats=...),   # Normalize on GPU
+    ]
+)
+
+# Model output postprocessing
+training_postprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline[torch.Tensor, torch.Tensor](
+    steps=[
+        DeviceProcessorStep(device="cpu"),                  # Move to CPU
+        UnnormalizerProcessorStep(features=..., stats=...), # Denormalize
+    ]
+    to_transition=policy_action_to_transition,
+    to_output=transition_to_policy_action,
+)
+```
+
+### An interaction between a robot and a policy with processors
+
+The most common real-world scenario combines both pipeline types robot hardware generates observations that need policy processing, and policy outputs need robot-compatible postprocessing:
+
+```python
+# Real deployment: Robot sensors → Model → Robot commands
+with torch.no_grad():
+    while not done:
+        raw_obs = robot.get_observation()  # dict[str, Any]
+
+        # Add your robot observation to policy observation processor
+
+        policy_input = policy_preprocessor(raw_obs)  # Batched dict
+
+        policy_output = policy.select_action(policy_input)  # Policy tensor
+
+        policy_action = policy_postprocessor(policy_output)
+
+        # Add your robot action to policy action processor
+
+        robot.send_action(policy_action)
+```
+
+## Feature Contracts: Shape and Type Transformation
+
+Processors don't just transform data - they can also **change the data structure itself**. The `transform_features()` method declares these changes, which is crucial for dataset recording and policy creation.
+
+### Why Feature Contracts Matter
+
+When building datasets or policies, LeRobot needs to know:
+
+- **What data fields will exist** after processing
+- **What shapes and types** each field will have
+- **How to configure models** for the expected data structure
+
+```python
+# Example: A processor that adds velocity to observations
+class VelocityProcessor(ObservationProcessorStep):
+    def observation(self, obs):
+        new_obs = obs.copy()
+        if "observation.state" in obs:
+            # concatenate computed velocity field to the state
+            new_obs["observation.state"] = self._compute_velocity(obs["observation.state"])
+        return new_obs
+
+    def transform_features(self, features):
+        """Declare the new velocity field we're adding."""
+        state_feature = features[PipelineFeatureType.OBSERVATION].get("observation.state")
+        if state_feature:
+            double_shape = (state_feature.shape[0] * 2,) if state_feature.shape else (2,)
+            features[PipelineFeatureType.OBSERVATION]["observation.state"] = PolicyFeature(
+                type=FeatureType.STATE, shape=double_shape
+            )
+        return features
+```
+
+### Feature Specification Functions
+
+`create_initial_features()` and `aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features()` solve a critical dataset creation problem: determining the exact final data structure before any data is processed.
+Since processor pipelines can add new features (like velocity fields), change tensor shapes (like cropping images), or rename keys, datasets need to know the complete output specification upfront to allocate proper storage and define schemas.
+These functions work together by starting with robot hardware specifications (`create_initial_features()`) then simulating the entire pipeline transformation (`aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features()`) to compute the final feature dictionary that gets passed to `LeRobotDataset.create()`, ensuring perfect alignment between what processors output and what datasets expect to store.
+
+```python
+from lerobot.datasets import aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features
+
+# Start with robot's raw features
+initial_features = create_initial_features(
+    observation=robot.observation_features,  # {"joint_1.pos": float, "camera_0": (480,640,3)}
+    action=robot.action_features            # {"joint_1.pos": float, "gripper.pos": float}
+)
+
+# Apply processor pipeline to compute final features
+final_features = aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features(
+    pipeline=my_processor_pipeline,
+    initial_features=initial_features,
+    use_videos=True
+)
+
+# Use for dataset creation
+dataset = LeRobotDataset.create(
+    repo_id="my_dataset",
+    features=final_features,  # Knows exactly what data to expect
+    ...
+)
+```
+
+## Common Processor Steps
+
+LeRobot provides many registered processor steps. Here are the most commonly used core processors:
+
+### Essential Processors
+
+- **`normalizer_processor`**: Normalize observations/actions using dataset statistics (mean/std or min/max)
+- **`device_processor`**: Move tensors to CPU/GPU with optional dtype conversion
+- **`to_batch_processor`**: Add batch dimensions to transitions for model compatibility
+- **`rename_observations_processor`**: Rename observation keys using mapping dictionaries
+- **`tokenizer_processor`**: Tokenize natural language task descriptions into tokens and attention masks
+
+### Next Steps
+
+- **[Implement Your Own Processor](./implement_your_own_processor)** - Create custom processor steps
+- **[Debug Your Pipeline](./debug_processor_pipeline)** - Troubleshoot and optimize pipelines
+- **[Processors for Robots and Teleoperators](./processors_robots_teleop)** - Real-world integration patterns
+
+## Summary
+
+Processors solve the data translation problem in robotics by providing:
+
+- **Modular transformations**: Composable, reusable processing steps
+- **Type safety**: Generic pipelines with compile-time checking
+- **Performance optimization**: GPU-accelerated operations
+- **Robot/Policy distinction**: Separate pipelines for different data structures
+- **Comprehensive ecosystem**: 30+ registered processors for common tasks
+
+The key insight: `RobotProcessorPipeline` handles unbatched robot hardware data, while `PolicyProcessorPipeline` handles batched model data. Choose the right tool for your data structure!

+# Language columns and recipes
+
+Most LeRobot datasets ship with a single `task` string per episode — fine for
+short, single-instruction skills, but not enough for the longer-horizon,
+multi-modal robot policies the field is moving toward (high-level planning,
+memory, interjections, VQA, tool use). To support those policies without
+forking the dataset format, LeRobot extends `LeRobotDataset` with two optional
+language columns and a small recipe layer that turns those rows into
+chat-style training samples on the fly.
+
+The design splits cleanly into three layers:
+
+1. **Data in the dataset** — language annotations stored next to frames in
+   `data/chunk-*/file-*.parquet` as two optional columns (`language_persistent`
+   and `language_events`). Datasets without these columns keep their existing
+   behavior.
+2. **Recipe** — a YAML file that declares which annotation rows to bind and
+   how to lay them out as chat turns (`role`, `content`, optional images,
+   optional tool calls). Recipes are pure config; no Python required to add a
+   new one.
+3. **Training format** — at sample time, `RenderMessagesStep` resolves the
+   recipe against the per-frame annotations and emits HF-style `messages` plus
+   LeRobot-specific sidecars (`message_streams`, `target_message_indices`)
+   that policy processors consume.
+
+This page describes each layer in turn.
+
+## Layer 1 — language columns in the dataset
+
+The two optional columns live next to frame data in
+`data/chunk-*/file-*.parquet`:
+
+- `language_persistent`: a list of rows broadcast across every frame in an episode for state that remains active, such as `subtask`, `plan`, and `memory`.
+- `language_events`: a list of rows only on the exact frame where an event was emitted, such as `interjection`, `vqa`, and speech tool calls.
+
+Both columns share the same row shape (event rows omit `timestamp` because the
+frame the row sits on already provides it):
+
+```text
+role: string
+content: string | null
+style: string | null
+timestamp: float32        # persistent rows only
+camera: string | null     # observation.images.* feature key, view-dependent rows only
+tool_calls: list[Json] | null
+```
+
+The `camera` field tags rows whose `content` is grounded in a specific camera
+view. Rows of view-dependent styles (`vqa` and `trace`) MUST set `camera` to
+the matching `observation.images.*` feature key. Rows of every other style —
+including `motion`, which describes robot-frame primitives in joint / Cartesian
+terms — MUST leave `camera` as `null`. Pipeline writers and the validator
+enforce this via `validate_camera_field(style, camera)`.
+
+`meta/tasks.parquet` remains the canonical source for the task. The special `${task}` recipe binding always reads that task string and does not depend on language annotations.
+
+### Architecture
+
+The language stack itself has three internal modules backing layer 1:
+
+1. `lerobot.datasets.language` defines the schema, style registry, and `column_for_style`.
+2. `lerobot.datasets.language_render` resolves rows and renders messages.
+3. `RenderMessagesStep` turns dataset samples into `messages`, `message_streams`, and `target_message_indices`.
+
+`LeRobotDataset` stays recipe-agnostic. It passes `language_persistent` and `language_events` through when present, and unannotated datasets keep their existing behavior.
+
+## Layer 2 — recipe anatomy
+
+Recipes are YAML files backed by `TrainingRecipe` and `MessageTurn`. They
+declare which annotation rows to pull (via `bindings`) and how to compose them
+into chat turns (`messages`).
+
+```yaml
+messages:
+  - { role: user, content: "${task}", stream: high_level }
+  - { role: assistant, content: "${subtask}", stream: low_level, target: true }
+```
+
+A recipe can also branch into a weighted **blend** of sub-recipes. At sample
+time, exactly one branch is selected deterministically from the sample index,
+so different frames train different objectives (e.g. memory updates vs.
+low-level execution vs. VQA) without any Python wiring.
+
+### Temporal semantics
+
+Persistent styles are active after emission until replaced:
+
+- `active_at(t, style=subtask)`
+- `nth_prev(style=memory, offset=1)`
+- `nth_next(style=subtask, offset=1)`
+
+Event styles only exist on their exact timestamp:
+
+- `emitted_at(t, style=interjection)`
+- `emitted_at(t, style=vqa, role=user, camera=observation.images.top)`
+- `emitted_at(t, role=assistant, tool_name=say)`
+
+Exact event matching has no tolerance window, so writers must stamp event rows with frame timestamps from the parquet data.
+
+### View-dependent resolution
+
+For view-dependent styles (`vqa` and `trace`), the resolver gains a
+`camera=` filter parallel to `role=` and `tool_name=`. Datasets with multiple
+cameras typically emit one (`vqa`, `user`) + (`vqa`, `assistant`) pair per
+camera at the same timestamp; without `camera=`, those resolvers see two
+matches and raise an ambiguity error. Recipes consume each camera through its
+own binding plus a matching image block, e.g.
+
+```yaml
+ask_vqa_top:
+  bindings:
+    vqa_query: "emitted_at(t, style=vqa, role=user, camera=observation.images.top)"
+    vqa: "emitted_at(t, style=vqa, role=assistant, camera=observation.images.top)"
+  messages:
+    - role: user

+        - { type: text, text: "${vqa_query}" }
+    - {
+        role: assistant,
+        content: "${vqa}",
+        stream: high_level,
+        target: true,
+        if_present: vqa,
+      }
+```
+
+Add one such sub-recipe per camera the dataset records.
+
+## Layer 3 — training format
+
+Rendered samples use HF-style chat messages plus LeRobot sidecars:
+
+```python
+sample["messages"]
+sample["message_streams"]
+sample["target_message_indices"]
+```
+
+The renderer does not apply a tokenizer chat template. Policy processors decide how to serialize the messages for their backbone, which keeps the same dataset usable across SmolVLA, Pi0.5, and any future VLM that expects OpenAI-style chat messages.
+
+## Graceful absence
+
+If both language columns are missing, `None`, or empty, `RenderMessagesStep` is a no-op.
+If an event-scoped branch is selected on a frame without the required event row, rendering returns `None`, allowing a loader to retry another sample.

+# LeLab - LeRobot Guide
+
+LeLab is a graphical user interface built on top of the LeRobot library, designed to make robotics accessible without needing to memorize CLI commands. From a single app you can configure your robot, teleoperate it, collect datasets, train policies locally or on cloud GPUs via HF Jobs, and deploy trained models back onto your robot. It's the easiest way to go from an unboxed SO-101 to a working policy, and a great companion for anyone learning the LeRobot workflow. Source code and issues live on GitHub: [huggingface/leLab](https://github.com/huggingface/leLab).
+
+> [!TIP]
+> For now LeLab is compatible only with SO-ARM101
+
+<Youtube id="VqyKUuW9V1g" />
+
+### Installation
+
+Requires [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/). Install and launch in one command:
+
+```
+uv tool install git+https://github.com/huggingface/leLab.git && lelab
+```
+
+After install, run `lelab` from your terminal anytime to start the app.
+
+### Features
+
+- **Add robots** — Select arm type (leader/follower), calibrate each joint from the middle position, and attach cameras.
+- **Teleoperation** — Control the follower arm with the leader and see a live 3D visualization of the arms.
+- **Dataset recording** — Define a task description, number of episodes, and episode/reset durations. Press spacebar to advance between episodes. 30+ episodes recommended.
+- **Local training** — Train a policy directly on your own machine with a selected dataset, policy type, batch size, and step count.
+- **Cloud training with HF Jobs** — Train on powerful GPUs via [HF Jobs](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/en/guides/jobs) with transparent pricing. Run `hf auth login` first. See the [Compute HW Guide](hardware_guide) for hardware/batch size tips.
+- **Training visualization** — Watch progress live in the app, with checkpoints saved automatically.
+- **Run trained policies** — Pick any model from your jobs list and run inference on your robot with one click.

+# LeRobotDataset v3.0
+
+`LeRobotDataset v3.0` is a standardized format for robot learning data. It provides unified access to multi-modal time-series data, sensorimotor signals and multi‑camera video, as well as rich metadata for indexing, search, and visualization on the Hugging Face Hub.
+
+This docs will guide you to:
+
+- Understand the v3.0 design and directory layout
+- Record a dataset and push it to the Hub
+- Load datasets for training with `LeRobotDataset`
+- Stream datasets without downloading using `StreamingLeRobotDataset`
+- Apply image transforms for data augmentation during training
+- Migrate existing `v2.1` datasets to `v3.0`
+- Experiment with other `LeRobotDataset` formats and implementations like Lance
+
+## What’s new in `v3`
+
+- **File-based storage**: Many episodes per Parquet/MP4 file (v2 used one file per episode).
+- **Relational metadata**: Episode boundaries and lookups are resolved through metadata, not filenames.
+- **Hub-native streaming**: Consume datasets directly from the Hub with `StreamingLeRobotDataset`.
+- **Lower file-system pressure**: Fewer, larger files ⇒ faster initialization and fewer issues at scale.
+- **Unified organization**: Clean directory layout with consistent path templates across data and videos.
+
+## Installation
+
+`LeRobotDataset v3.0` will be included in `lerobot >= 0.4.0`.
+
+Until that stable release, you can use the main branch by following the [build from source instructions](./installation#from-source).
+
+## Record a dataset
+
+Run the command below to record a dataset with the SO-101 and push to the Hub:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-record \
+  --robot.type=so101_follower \
+  --robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem585A0076841 \
+  --robot.id=my_awesome_follower_arm \
+  --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 1920, height: 1080, fps: 30}}" \
+  --teleop.type=so101_leader \
+  --teleop.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431551 \
+  --teleop.id=my_awesome_leader_arm \
+  --display_data=true \
+  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/record-test \
+  --dataset.num_episodes=5 \
+  --dataset.single_task="Grab the black cube" \
+  --dataset.streaming_encoding=true \
+  # --dataset.rgb_encoder.vcodec=auto \
+  --dataset.encoder_threads=2
+```
+
+See the [recording guide](./il_robots#record-a-dataset) for more details.
+
+## Format design
+
+A core v3 principle is **decoupling storage from the user API**: data is stored efficiently (few large files), while the public API exposes intuitive episode-level access.
+
+`v3` has three pillars:
+
+1. **Tabular data**: Low‑dimensional, high‑frequency signals (states, actions, timestamps) stored in **Apache Parquet**. Access is memory‑mapped or streamed via the `datasets` stack.
+2. **Visual data**: Camera frames concatenated and encoded into **MP4**. Frames from the same episode are grouped; videos are sharded per camera for practical sizes.
+3. **Metadata**: JSON/Parquet records describing schema (feature names, dtypes, shapes), frame rates, normalization stats, and **episode segmentation** (start/end offsets into shared Parquet/MP4 files).
+
+> To scale to millions of episodes, tabular rows and video frames from multiple episodes are **concatenated** into larger files. Episode‑specific views are reconstructed **via metadata**, not file boundaries.

+</div>
+
+### Directory layout (simplified)
+
+- **`meta/info.json`**: canonical schema (features, shapes/dtypes), FPS, codebase version, and **path templates** to locate data/video shards.
+- **`meta/stats.json`**: global feature statistics (mean/std/min/max) used for normalization; exposed as `dataset.meta.stats`.
+- **`meta/tasks.jsonl`**: natural‑language task descriptions mapped to integer IDs for task‑conditioned policies.
+- **`meta/episodes/`**: per‑episode records (lengths, tasks, offsets) stored as **chunked Parquet** for scalability.
+- **`data/`**: frame‑by‑frame **Parquet** shards; each file typically contains **many episodes**.
+- **`videos/`**: **MP4** shards per camera; each file typically contains **many episodes**.
+
+## Load a dataset for training
+
+`LeRobotDataset` returns Python dictionaries of PyTorch tensors and integrates with `torch.utils.data.DataLoader`. Here is a code example showing its use:
+
+```python
+import torch
+from lerobot.datasets import LeRobotDataset
+
+repo_id = "yaak-ai/L2D-v3"
+
+# 1) Load from the Hub (cached locally)
+dataset = LeRobotDataset(repo_id)
+
+# 2) Random access by index
+sample = dataset[100]
+print(sample)
+# {
+#   'observation.state': tensor([...]),
+#   'action': tensor([...]),
+#   'observation.images.front_left': tensor([C, H, W]),
+#   'timestamp': tensor(1.234),
+#   ...
+# }
+
+# 3) Temporal windows via delta_timestamps (seconds relative to t)
+delta_timestamps = {
+    "observation.images.front_left": [-0.2, -0.1, 0.0]  # 0.2s and 0.1s before current frame
+}
+
+dataset = LeRobotDataset(repo_id, delta_timestamps=delta_timestamps)
+
+# Accessing an index now returns a stack for the specified key(s)
+sample = dataset[100]
+print(sample["observation.images.front_left"].shape)  # [T, C, H, W], where T=3
+
+# 4) Wrap with a DataLoader for training
+batch_size = 16
+data_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(dataset, batch_size=batch_size)
+
+device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
+for batch in data_loader:
+    observations = batch["observation.state"].to(device)
+    actions = batch["action"].to(device)
+    images = batch["observation.images.front_left"].to(device)
+    # model.forward(batch)
+```
+
+## Stream a dataset (no downloads)
+
+Use `StreamingLeRobotDataset` to iterate directly from the Hub without local copies. This allows to stream large datasets without the need to downloading them onto disk or loading them onto memory, and is a key feature of the new dataset format.
+
+```python
+from lerobot.datasets import StreamingLeRobotDataset
+
+repo_id = "yaak-ai/L2D-v3"
+dataset = StreamingLeRobotDataset(repo_id)  # streams directly from the Hub
+```
+
+<div style="display:flex; justify-content:center; gap:12px; flex-wrap:wrap;">
+  <figure style="margin:0; text-align:center;">

+    <figcaption style="font-size:0.9em; color:#666;">
+      Stream directly from the Hub for on‑the‑fly training.
+    </figcaption>
+  </figure>
+</div>
+
+## Image transforms
+
+Image transforms are data augmentations applied to camera frames during training to improve model robustness and generalization. LeRobot supports various transforms including brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, and sharpness adjustments.
+
+### Using transforms during dataset creation/recording
+
+Currently, transforms are applied during **training time only**, not during recording. When you create or record a dataset, the raw images are stored without transforms. This allows you to experiment with different augmentations later without re-recording data.
+
+### Adding transforms to existing datasets (API)
+
+Use the `image_transforms` parameter when loading a dataset for training:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.datasets import LeRobotDataset
+from lerobot.transforms import ImageTransforms, ImageTransformsConfig, ImageTransformConfig
+
+# Option 1: Use default transform configuration (disabled by default)
+transforms_config = ImageTransformsConfig(
+    enable=True,  # Enable transforms
+    max_num_transforms=3,  # Apply up to 3 transforms per frame
+    random_order=False,  # Apply in standard order
+)
+transforms = ImageTransforms(transforms_config)
+
+dataset = LeRobotDataset(
+    repo_id="your-username/your-dataset",
+    image_transforms=transforms
+)
+
+# Option 2: Create custom transform configuration
+custom_transforms_config = ImageTransformsConfig(
+    enable=True,
+    max_num_transforms=2,
+    random_order=True,
+    tfs={
+        "brightness": ImageTransformConfig(
+            weight=1.0,
+            type="ColorJitter",
+            kwargs={"brightness": (0.7, 1.3)}  # Adjust brightness range
+        ),
+        "contrast": ImageTransformConfig(
+            weight=2.0,  # Higher weight = more likely to be selected
+            type="ColorJitter",
+            kwargs={"contrast": (0.8, 1.2)}
+        ),
+        "sharpness": ImageTransformConfig(
+            weight=0.5,  # Lower weight = less likely to be selected
+            type="SharpnessJitter",
+            kwargs={"sharpness": (0.3, 2.0)}
+        ),
+    }
+)
+
+dataset = LeRobotDataset(
+    repo_id="your-username/your-dataset",
+    image_transforms=ImageTransforms(custom_transforms_config)
+)
+
+# Option 3: Use pure torchvision transforms
+from torchvision.transforms import v2
+
+torchvision_transforms = v2.Compose([
+    v2.ColorJitter(brightness=0.2, contrast=0.2, saturation=0.2, hue=0.1),
+    v2.GaussianBlur(kernel_size=3, sigma=(0.1, 2.0)),
+])
+
+dataset = LeRobotDataset(
+    repo_id="your-username/your-dataset",
+    image_transforms=torchvision_transforms
+)
+```
+
+### Available transform types
+
+LeRobot provides several transform types:
+
+- **`ColorJitter`**: Adjusts brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue
+- **`SharpnessJitter`**: Randomly adjusts image sharpness
+- **`Identity`**: No transformation (useful for testing)
+
+You can also use any `torchvision.transforms.v2` transform by passing it directly to the `image_transforms` parameter.
+
+### Configuration options
+
+- **`enable`**: Enable/disable transforms (default: `False`)
+- **`max_num_transforms`**: Maximum number of transforms applied per frame (default: `3`)
+- **`random_order`**: Apply transforms in random order vs. standard order (default: `False`)
+- **`weight`**: Sampling probability for each transform (higher = more likely, if sum of weights is not 1, they will be normalized)
+- **`kwargs`**: Transform-specific parameters (e.g., brightness range)
+
+### Visualizing transforms
+
+Use the visualization script to preview how transforms affect your data:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-imgtransform-viz \
+  --repo-id=your-username/your-dataset \
+  --output-dir=./transform_examples \
+  --n-examples=5
+```
+
+This saves example images showing the effect of each transform, helping you tune parameters.
+
+### Best practices
+
+- **Start conservative**: Begin with small ranges (e.g., brightness 0.9-1.1) and increase gradually
+- **Test first**: Use the visualization script to ensure transforms look reasonable
+- **Monitor training**: Strong augmentations can hurt performance if too aggressive
+- **Match your domain**: If your robot operates in varying lighting, use brightness/contrast transforms
+- **Combine wisely**: Using too many transforms simultaneously can make training unstable
+
+## Migrate `v2.1` → `v3.0`
+
+A converter aggregates per‑episode files into larger shards and writes episode offsets/metadata. Convert your dataset using the instructions below.
+
+```bash
+# Pre-release build with v3 support:
+pip install "https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/archive/33cad37054c2b594ceba57463e8f11ee374fa93c.zip"
+
+# Convert an existing v2.1 dataset hosted on the Hub:
+python -m lerobot.scripts.convert_dataset_v21_to_v30 --repo-id=<HF_USER/DATASET_ID>
+```
+
+**What it does**
+
+- Aggregates parquet files: `episode-0000.parquet`, `episode-0001.parquet`, … → **`file-0000.parquet`**, …
+- Aggregates mp4 files: `episode-0000.mp4`, `episode-0001.mp4`, … → **`file-0000.mp4`**, …
+- Updates `meta/episodes/*` (chunked Parquet) with per‑episode lengths, tasks, and byte/frame offsets.
+
+## Common Issues
+
+### Always call `finalize()` before pushing
+
+When creating or recording datasets, you **must** call `dataset.finalize()` to properly close parquet writers. See the [PR #1903](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/pull/1903) for more details.
+
+```python
+from lerobot.datasets import LeRobotDataset
+
+# Create dataset and record episodes
+dataset = LeRobotDataset.create(...)
+
+for episode in range(num_episodes):
+    # Record frames
+    for frame in episode_data:
+        dataset.add_frame(frame)
+    dataset.save_episode()
+
+# Call finalize() when done recording and before push_to_hub()
+dataset.finalize()  # Closes parquet writers, writes metadata footers
+dataset.push_to_hub()
+```
+
+**Why is this necessary?**
+
+Dataset v3.0 uses incremental parquet writing with buffered metadata for efficiency. The `finalize()` method:
+
+- Flushes any buffered episode metadata to disk
+- Closes parquet writers to write footer metadata, otherwise the parquet files will be corrupt
+- Ensures the dataset is valid for loading
+
+Without calling `finalize()`, your parquet files will be incomplete and the dataset won't load properly.
+
+## Other formats and implementations
+
+### Lance
+
+Lance is a useful format for multimodal AI datasets, especially for large-scale training requiring high performance IO and random access.
+
+The `lerobot-lancedb` package implements `LeRobotLanceDataset` (for JPEG images) and `LeRobotLanceVideoDataset` (for mp4 videos).
+Those two storage layouts both subclass LeRobotDataset and can provide data loading speed ups.
+
+`LeRobotLanceDataset` is a drop-in replacement for `LeRobotDataset`:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.datasets import LeRobotDatasetMetadata
+from lerobot.policies.diffusion.configuration_diffusion import DiffusionConfig
+from lerobot_lancedb import LeRobotLanceDataset, LeRobotLanceVideoDataset
+
+cfg = DiffusionConfig(...)
+meta = LeRobotDatasetMetadata(root=local_dataset_path)  # or use repo_id=... to load metadata from the Hub
+delta_timestamps = {...}
+
+# Use LeRobotLanceDataset for image datasets
+dataset = LeRobotLanceDataset(
+    root=local_dataset_path,                            # or use repo_id=... to stream from the Hub
+    delta_timestamps=delta_timestamps,
+    return_uint8=True,
+)
+# Or use LeRobotLanceVideoDataset for video datasets:
+dataset = LeRobotLanceVideoDataset(
+    root=local_dataset_path,                            # or use repo_id=... to stream from the Hub
+    delta_timestamps=delta_timestamps,
+    return_uint8=True,
+)
+```

+# LIBERO
+
+LIBERO is a benchmark designed to study **lifelong robot learning** — the idea that robots need to keep learning and adapting with their users over time, not just be pretrained once. It provides a set of standardized manipulation tasks that focus on **knowledge transfer**: how well a robot can apply what it has already learned to new situations. By evaluating on LIBERO, different algorithms can be compared fairly and researchers can build on each other's work.

+
+![An overview of the LIBERO benchmark](https://libero-project.github.io/assets/img/libero/fig1.png)
+
+## Available tasks
+
+LIBERO includes **five task suites** covering **130 tasks**, ranging from simple object manipulations to complex multi-step scenarios:
+
+| Suite          | CLI name         | Tasks | Description                                        |
+| -------------- | ---------------- | ----- | -------------------------------------------------- |
+| LIBERO-Spatial | `libero_spatial` | 10    | Tasks requiring reasoning about spatial relations  |
+| LIBERO-Object  | `libero_object`  | 10    | Tasks centered on manipulating different objects   |
+| LIBERO-Goal    | `libero_goal`    | 10    | Goal-conditioned tasks with changing targets       |
+| LIBERO-90      | `libero_90`      | 90    | Short-horizon tasks from the LIBERO-100 collection |
+| LIBERO-Long    | `libero_10`      | 10    | Long-horizon tasks from the LIBERO-100 collection  |
+
+## Installation
+
+After following the LeRobot installation instructions:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[libero]"
+```
+
+<Tip>
+LIBERO requires Linux (`sys_platform == 'linux'`). LeRobot uses MuJoCo for simulation — set the rendering backend before training or evaluation:
+
+```bash
+export MUJOCO_GL=egl  # for headless servers (HPC, cloud)
+```
+
+</Tip>
+
+## Evaluation
+
+### Default evaluation (recommended)
+
+Evaluate across the four standard suites (10 episodes per task):
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  --env.task=libero_spatial,libero_object,libero_goal,libero_10 \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+  --env.max_parallel_tasks=1
+```
+
+### Single-suite evaluation
+
+Evaluate on one LIBERO suite:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  --env.task=libero_object \
+  --eval.batch_size=2 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=3
+```
+
+- `--env.task` picks the suite (`libero_object`, `libero_spatial`, etc.).
+- `--env.task_ids` restricts to specific task indices (`[0]`, `[1,2,3]`, etc.). Omit to run all tasks in the suite.
+- `--eval.batch_size` controls how many environments run in parallel.
+- `--eval.n_episodes` sets how many episodes to run per task.
+
+### Multi-suite evaluation
+
+Benchmark a policy across multiple suites at once by passing a comma-separated list:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  --env.task=libero_object,libero_spatial \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=2
+```
+
+### Control mode
+
+LIBERO supports two control modes — `relative` (default) and `absolute`. Different VLA checkpoints are trained with different action parameterizations, so make sure the mode matches your policy:
+
+```bash
+--env.control_mode=relative   # or "absolute"
+```
+
+### Policy inputs and outputs
+
+**Observations:**
+
+- `observation.state` — 8-dim proprioceptive features (eef position, axis-angle orientation, gripper qpos)
+- `observation.images.image` — main camera view (`agentview_image`), HWC uint8
+- `observation.images.image2` — wrist camera view (`robot0_eye_in_hand_image`), HWC uint8
+
+<Tip warning={true}>
+  LeRobot enforces the `.images.*` prefix for visual features. Ensure your
+  policy config `input_features` use the same naming keys, and that your dataset
+  metadata keys follow this convention. If your data contains different keys,
+  you must rename the observations to match what the policy expects, since
+  naming keys are encoded inside the normalization statistics layer.
+</Tip>
+
+**Actions:**
+
+- Continuous control in `Box(-1, 1, shape=(7,))` — 6D end-effector delta + 1D gripper
+
+### Recommended evaluation episodes
+
+For reproducible benchmarking, use **10 episodes per task** across all four standard suites (Spatial, Object, Goal, Long). This gives 400 total episodes and matches the protocol used for published results.
+
+## Training
+
+### Dataset
+
+We provide a preprocessed LIBERO dataset fully compatible with LeRobot:
+
+- [HuggingFaceVLA/libero](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceVLA/libero)
+
+For reference, the original dataset published by Physical Intelligence:
+
+- [physical-intelligence/libero](https://huggingface.co/datasets/physical-intelligence/libero)
+
+### Example training command
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.type=smolvla \
+  --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/libero-test \
+  --policy.load_vlm_weights=true \

+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=1 \
+  --env_eval_freq=1000
+```
+
+## Reproducing published results
+
+We reproduce the results of Pi0.5 on the LIBERO benchmark. We take the Physical Intelligence LIBERO base model (`pi05_libero`) and finetune for an additional 6k steps in bfloat16, with batch size of 256 on 8 H100 GPUs using the [HuggingFace LIBERO dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceVLA/libero).
+
+The finetuned model: [lerobot/pi05_libero_finetuned](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/pi05_libero_finetuned)
+
+### Evaluation command
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \

+  --policy.path=pi05_libero_finetuned \
+  --policy.n_action_steps=10 \
+  --env.max_parallel_tasks=1
+```
+
+We set `n_action_steps=10`, matching the original OpenPI implementation.

+# LIBERO-plus
+
+LIBERO-plus is a **robustness benchmark** for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models built on top of [LIBERO](./libero). It systematically stress-tests policies by applying **seven independent perturbation dimensions** to the original LIBERO task set, exposing failure modes that standard benchmarks miss.

+
+![An overview of the LIBERO-plus benchmark perturbation dimensions](https://github.com/sylvestf/LIBERO-plus/raw/main/static/images/libero-plus.jpg)
+
+## Perturbation dimensions
+
+LIBERO-plus creates ~10 000 task variants by perturbing each original LIBERO task along these axes:
+
+| Dimension             | What changes                                          |
+| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| Objects layout        | Target position, presence of confounding objects      |
+| Camera viewpoints     | Camera position, orientation, field-of-view           |
+| Robot initial states  | Manipulator start pose                                |
+| Language instructions | LLM-rewritten task description (paraphrase / synonym) |
+| Light conditions      | Intensity, direction, color, shadow                   |
+| Background textures   | Scene surface and object appearance                   |
+| Sensor noise          | Photometric distortions and image degradation         |
+
+## Available task suites
+
+LIBERO-plus covers the same five suites as LIBERO:
+
+| Suite          | CLI name         | Tasks | Max steps | Description                                        |
+| -------------- | ---------------- | ----- | --------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
+| LIBERO-Spatial | `libero_spatial` | 10    | 280       | Tasks requiring reasoning about spatial relations  |
+| LIBERO-Object  | `libero_object`  | 10    | 280       | Tasks centered on manipulating different objects   |
+| LIBERO-Goal    | `libero_goal`    | 10    | 300       | Goal-conditioned tasks with changing targets       |
+| LIBERO-90      | `libero_90`      | 90    | 400       | Short-horizon tasks from the LIBERO-100 collection |
+| LIBERO-Long    | `libero_10`      | 10    | 520       | Long-horizon tasks from the LIBERO-100 collection  |
+
+<Tip warning={true}>
+  Installing LIBERO-plus **replaces** vanilla LIBERO — it uninstalls `hf-libero`
+  so that `import libero` resolves to the LIBERO-plus fork. You cannot have both
+  installed at the same time. To switch back to vanilla LIBERO, uninstall the
+  fork and reinstall with `pip install -e ".[libero]"`.
+</Tip>
+
+## Installation
+
+### System dependencies (Linux only)
+
+```bash
+sudo apt install libexpat1 libfontconfig1-dev libmagickwand-dev
+```
+
+### Python package
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[libero]" "robosuite==1.4.1" bddl easydict mujoco wand scikit-image gym
+git clone https://github.com/sylvestf/LIBERO-plus.git
+cd LIBERO-plus && pip install --no-deps -e .
+pip uninstall -y hf-libero  # so `import libero` resolves to the fork
+```
+
+LIBERO-plus is installed from its GitHub fork rather than a pyproject extra — the fork ships as a namespace package that pip can't handle, so it must be cloned and added to `PYTHONPATH`. See `docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.libero_plus` for the canonical install. MuJoCo is required, so only Linux is supported.
+
+<Tip>
+Set the MuJoCo rendering backend before running evaluation:
+
+```bash
+export MUJOCO_GL=egl   # headless / HPC / cloud
+```
+
+</Tip>
+
+### Download LIBERO-plus assets
+
+LIBERO-plus ships its extended asset pack separately. Download `assets.zip` from the [Hugging Face dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Sylvest/LIBERO-plus/tree/main) and extract it into the LIBERO-plus package directory:
+
+```bash
+# After installing the package, find where it was installed:
+python -c "import libero; print(libero.__file__)"
+# Then extract assets.zip into <package_root>/libero/assets/
+```
+
+## Evaluation
+
+### Default evaluation (recommended)
+
+Evaluate across the four standard suites (10 episodes per task):
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=libero_plus \
+  --env.task=libero_spatial,libero_object,libero_goal,libero_10 \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+  --env.max_parallel_tasks=1
+```
+
+### Single-suite evaluation
+
+Evaluate on one LIBERO-plus suite:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=libero_plus \
+  --env.task=libero_spatial \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10
+```
+
+- `--env.task` picks the suite (`libero_spatial`, `libero_object`, etc.).
+- `--env.task_ids` restricts to specific task indices (`[0]`, `[1,2,3]`, etc.). Omit to run all tasks in the suite.
+- `--eval.batch_size` controls how many environments run in parallel.
+- `--eval.n_episodes` sets how many episodes to run per task.
+
+### Multi-suite evaluation
+
+Benchmark a policy across multiple suites at once by passing a comma-separated list:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=libero_plus \
+  --env.task=libero_spatial,libero_object \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10
+```
+
+### Control mode
+
+LIBERO-plus supports two control modes — `relative` (default) and `absolute`. Different VLA checkpoints are trained with different action parameterizations, so make sure the mode matches your policy:
+
+```bash
+--env.control_mode=relative   # or "absolute"
+```
+
+### Policy inputs and outputs
+
+**Observations:**
+
+- `observation.state` — 8-dim proprioceptive features (eef position, axis-angle orientation, gripper qpos)
+- `observation.images.image` — main camera view (`agentview_image`), HWC uint8
+- `observation.images.image2` — wrist camera view (`robot0_eye_in_hand_image`), HWC uint8
+
+**Actions:**
+
+- Continuous control in `Box(-1, 1, shape=(7,))` — 6D end-effector delta + 1D gripper
+
+### Recommended evaluation episodes
+
+For reproducible benchmarking, use **10 episodes per task** across all four standard suites (Spatial, Object, Goal, Long). This gives 400 total episodes and matches the protocol used for published results.
+
+## Training
+
+### Dataset
+
+A LeRobot-format training dataset for LIBERO-plus is available at:
+
+- [lerobot/libero_plus](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/libero_plus)
+
+### Example training command
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --policy.type=smolvla \
+    --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/smolvla_libero_plus \
+    --policy.load_vlm_weights=true \
+    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/libero_plus \

+    --batch_size=4 \
+    --eval.batch_size=1 \
+    --eval.n_episodes=1 \
+    --env_eval_freq=1000
+```
+
+## Relationship to LIBERO
+
+LIBERO-plus is a drop-in extension of LIBERO:
+
+- Same Python gym interface (`LiberoEnv`, `LiberoProcessorStep`)
+- Same camera names and observation/action format
+- Same task suite names
+- Installs under the same `libero` Python package name (different GitHub repo)
+
+To use the original LIBERO benchmark, see [LIBERO](./libero) and use `--env.type=libero`.

+# LingBot-VA
+
+LingBot-VA is an **autoregressive video-action world-model policy** built on the **Wan2.2**
+video-diffusion stack. It interleaves, in one autoregressive sequence, the prediction of
+future **video latents** and **robot actions** ("VA" = Video-Action). The LeRobot
+integration wires LingBot-VA into the standard training, evaluation and processor
+interfaces.
+
+## Model Overview
+
+LingBot-VA is a **dual-stream "mixture-of-transformers"**: a video/latent stream
+(`patch_embedding_mlp → blocks → proj_out`) and an action stream
+(`action_embedder → blocks → action_proj_out`) share the same 30 transformer blocks and
+text conditioning.
+
+| Component                | Class                   | Role                                                        |
+| ------------------------ | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
+| DiT backbone (trainable) | `WanTransformer3DModel` | ~5B-param dual-stream transformer.                          |
+| VAE (frozen)             | `AutoencoderKLWan`      | Wan2.2 VAE, `z_dim=48`. Lazy-pulled from the source repo.   |
+| Text encoder (frozen)    | `UMT5EncoderModel`      | UMT5-XXL, `d_model=4096`. Lazy-pulled from the source repo. |
+
+At inference the policy runs an autoregressive loop per chunk: it denoises the video-latent
+stream (CFG, ~20 steps) and the action stream (~50 steps) with two independent
+flow-matching schedulers, maintaining a KV cache across chunks. Real observed keyframes are
+fed back into the KV cache as the chunk is executed (closed-loop world modeling).
+
+### What the LeRobot Integration Covers
+
+- Standard `policy.type=lingbot_va` configuration through LeRobot.
+- Ready-to-use LeRobot-format checkpoints on the Hub (converted from the released upstream ones).
+- Autoregressive dual-stream inference behind the standard `select_action` interface
+  (single-environment eval, `--eval.batch_size=1`).
+- Opt-in saving of the policy's **predicted (imagined) videos** during eval / training.
+- Evaluation with `lerobot-eval` on LIBERO and RoboTwin.
+- Training / fine-tuning via the dual-stream flow-matching loss (`policy.forward`), see below.
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Install LeRobot by following the [Installation Guide](./installation).
+2. Install the LingBot-VA extra:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[lingbot_va]"
+```
+
+## Checkpoints
+
+The released upstream checkpoints have been converted to LeRobot format and pushed to the Hub:
+
+| Variant                | LeRobot checkpoint               |
+| ---------------------- | -------------------------------- |
+| LIBERO-Long post-train | `lerobot/lingbot_va_libero_long` |
+| RoboTwin post-train    | `lerobot/lingbot_va_robotwin`    |
+| Pretrained base        | `lerobot/lingbot_va_base`        |
+
+Only the trainable ~5B transformer is stored in the LeRobot
+`model.safetensors`. The frozen VAE + UMT5 + tokenizer (~20 GB) are pulled from
+`config.wan_pretrained_path` at load time (defaults to the source `robbyant/*` repo). The
+UMT5-XXL text encoder runs on CPU by default (`config.text_encoder_device`) so the 5B
+transformer + VAE fit on a single 24–32 GB GPU.
+
+## Evaluation (LIBERO)
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+    --policy.path=lerobot/lingbot_va_libero_long \
+    --policy.device=cuda \
+    --env.type=libero --env.task=libero_10 \
+    --env.observation_height=128 --env.observation_width=128 \
+    --eval.n_episodes=50 --eval.batch_size=1 \
+    --output_dir=outputs/eval/lingbot_va_libero
+```
+
+LingBot-VA's streaming inference (KV cache + observed-keyframe feedback) is implemented for
+single-environment eval; use `--eval.batch_size=1`.
+
+## Evaluation (RoboTwin)
+
+RoboTwin 2.0 needs the SAPIEN + CuRobo simulator stack. You can use the benchmark Docker image
+(`docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.robotwin`, which also needs `warp-lang==1.3.1` and CuRobo built
+with the GPU's compute capability in `TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST`). RoboTwin uses **end-effector-pose
+control**, so run with `--env.action_mode=ee`: the policy predicts per-arm `xyz+quaternion+gripper`
+deltas (`robotwin_tshape` latent layout) that are composed onto the episode's initial eef pose and
+executed via CuRobo IK.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+    --policy.path=lerobot/lingbot_va_robotwin \
+    --policy.device=cuda \
+    --env.type=robotwin --env.task=beat_block_hammer --env.action_mode=ee \
+    --eval.n_episodes=10 --eval.batch_size=1 \
+    --output_dir=outputs/eval/lingbot_va_robotwin
+```
+
+### Saving predicted (imagined) videos
+
+Set `--policy.save_predicted_video=true` to additionally VAE-decode the predicted video
+latents and write `pred_episode_*.mp4` next to the env-rendered `eval_episode_*.mp4` videos.
+The same flag works for the periodic eval during `lerobot-train`.
+
+## Training / fine-tuning
+
+`LingBotVAPolicy.forward(batch)` implements the dual-stream **flow-matching** loss
+(`latent_loss + action_loss`, timestep-weighted, action-masked) from the paper: it VAE-encodes
+the camera clips into video latents, UMT5-encodes the task, noises both streams, runs the
+transformer's block-causal training pass and returns `(loss, metrics)`. Optimizer preset is AdamW
+with a linear-warmup-then-constant schedule (matching upstream).
+
+Requirements:
+
+- The block-causal masks use PyTorch **flex-attention**, so build the policy with
+  `--policy.attn_mode=flex` for training (the default `torch` SDPA is inference-only).
+- The full 5B DiT does not fit a single 24–32 GB GPU under AdamW; fine-tune with **LoRA**
+  (`--policy.use_peft=true`) and/or optimizer offload. `get_optim_params` returns only the
+  trainable (e.g. adapter) parameters; the VAE + UMT5 text encoder stay frozen.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/lingbot_va_libero_long --policy.attn_mode=flex \
+  --policy.use_peft=true \
+  --dataset.repo_id=<your LeRobot-format dataset> \
+  --batch_size=1 --steps=... --output_dir=outputs/train/lingbot_va
+```
+
+The dataset must provide camera clips (a temporal window per camera, VAE-encoded to
+`frame_chunk_size` latent frames) and `frame_chunk_size * action_per_frame` action steps per item.
+
+## Data format (action channels & camera order)
+
+LingBot-VA is an **end-effector (Cartesian) pose** policy, it predicts EEF poses + gripper, not
+joint positions. Actions live in a fixed multi-embodiment **30-dim** layout; map your robot's
+action dimensions into these channels and pad the rest with `0` (`used_action_channel_ids` selects
+the channels a given checkpoint actually uses):
+
+| channels | meaning                                               |
+| -------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| 0–6      | Left-arm end-effector pose                            |
+| 7–13     | Right-arm end-effector pose                           |
+| 14–20    | Left-arm joints (unused by the released checkpoints)  |
+| 21–27    | Right-arm joints (unused by the released checkpoints) |
+| 28       | Left gripper                                          |
+| 29       | Right gripper                                         |
+
+- **LIBERO** uses channels `0–6`: a 6-DoF EEF delta (xyz + rotation) + gripper (single arm).
+- **RoboTwin** uses channels `[0–6, 28, 7–13, 29]`: left EEF (xyz + quaternion) + left gripper +
+  right EEF + right gripper (16 dims). The env converts these poses to joint trajectories via
+  CuRobo IK — joints are never predicted.
+
+Joint-space datasets (or a different EEF convention) must be remapped into this schema before
+fine-tuning these checkpoints.
+
+**Camera order is fixed and order-sensitive**, per-camera latents are concatenated spatially in
+`obs_cam_keys` order, so the physical camera→slot mapping must match training:
+
+| benchmark | `obs_cam_keys` (in order)                                                                             | `camera_layout`                                                     |
+| --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| LIBERO    | `observation.images.image` (agentview / 3rd-person), `observation.images.image2` (eye-in-hand wrist)  | `width_concat` (latents concatenated on width)                      |
+| RoboTwin  | `observation.images.head_camera`, `observation.images.left_camera`, `observation.images.right_camera` | `robotwin_tshape` (full-res head below, two half-res wrists on top) |
+
+The first camera is the exterior/head view and the rest are wrist views.
+
+## Inference Hyperparameters (LIBERO)
+
+| Key                                    | Value                                                                             |
+| -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

+
+## Notes
+
+- **Attention backend:** inference uses the `torch` SDPA backend (always available). The
+  `flashattn` and `flex` backends are optional; `flex` is only needed for training.
+- **Model size:** the DiT is ~5B params and the frozen VAE+UMT5 add ~20 GB; inference needs
+  roughly 18–24 GB of VRAM.

+# Meta-World
+
+Meta-World is an open-source simulation benchmark for **multi-task and meta reinforcement learning** in continuous-control robotic manipulation. It bundles 50 diverse manipulation tasks using everyday objects and a common tabletop Sawyer arm, providing a standardized playground to test whether algorithms can learn many different tasks and generalize quickly to new ones.
+
+- Paper: [Meta-World: A Benchmark and Evaluation for Multi-Task and Meta Reinforcement Learning paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.10897)
+- GitHub: [Farama-Foundation/Metaworld](https://github.com/Farama-Foundation/Metaworld)
+- Project website: [metaworld.farama.org](https://metaworld.farama.org)
+
+![MetaWorld MT10 demo](https://meta-world.github.io/figures/ml45.gif)
+
+## Available tasks
+
+Meta-World provides 50 tasks organized into difficulty groups. In LeRobot, you can evaluate on individual tasks, difficulty groups, or the full MT50 suite:
+
+| Group      | CLI name             | Tasks | Description                                            |
+| ---------- | -------------------- | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
+| Easy       | `easy`               | 28    | Tasks with simple dynamics and single-step goals       |
+| Medium     | `medium`             | 11    | Tasks requiring multi-step reasoning                   |
+| Hard       | `hard`               | 6     | Tasks with complex contacts and precise manipulation   |
+| Very Hard  | `very_hard`          | 5     | The most challenging tasks in the suite                |
+| MT50 (all) | Comma-separated list | 50    | All 50 tasks — the most challenging multi-task setting |
+
+You can also pass individual task names directly (e.g., `assembly-v3`, `dial-turn-v3`).
+
+We provide a LeRobot-ready dataset for Meta-World MT50 on the HF Hub: [lerobot/metaworld_mt50](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/metaworld_mt50). This dataset is formatted for the MT50 evaluation that uses all 50 tasks with fixed object/goal positions and one-hot task vectors for consistency.
+
+## Installation
+
+After following the LeRobot installation instructions:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[metaworld]"
+```
+
+<Tip warning={true}>
+If you encounter an `AssertionError: ['human', 'rgb_array', 'depth_array']` when running Meta-World environments, this is a mismatch between Meta-World and your Gymnasium version. Fix it with:
+
+```bash
+pip install "gymnasium==1.1.0"
+```
+
+</Tip>
+
+## Evaluation
+
+### Default evaluation (recommended)
+
+Evaluate on the medium difficulty split (a good balance of coverage and compute):
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=metaworld \
+  --env.task=medium \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10
+```
+
+### Single-task evaluation
+
+Evaluate on a specific task:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=metaworld \
+  --env.task=assembly-v3 \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10
+```
+
+### Multi-task evaluation
+
+Evaluate across multiple tasks or difficulty groups:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=metaworld \
+  --env.task=assembly-v3,dial-turn-v3,handle-press-side-v3 \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10
+```
+
+- `--env.task` accepts explicit task lists (comma-separated) or difficulty groups (e.g., `easy`, `medium`, `hard`, `very_hard`).
+- `--eval.batch_size` controls how many environments run in parallel.
+- `--eval.n_episodes` sets how many episodes to run per task.
+
+### Policy inputs and outputs
+
+**Observations:**
+
+- `observation.image` — single camera view (`corner2`), 480x480 HWC uint8
+- `observation.state` — 4-dim proprioceptive state (end-effector position + gripper)
+
+**Actions:**
+
+- Continuous control in `Box(-1, 1, shape=(4,))` — 3D end-effector delta + 1D gripper
+
+### Recommended evaluation episodes
+
+For reproducible benchmarking, use **10 episodes per task**. For the full MT50 suite this gives 500 total episodes. If you care about generalization, run on the full MT50 — it is intentionally challenging and reveals strengths/weaknesses better than a few narrow tasks.
+
+## Training
+
+### Example training command
+
+Train a SmolVLA policy on a subset of Meta-World tasks:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.type=smolvla \
+  --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/metaworld-test \
+  --policy.load_vlm_weights=true \
+  --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/metaworld_mt50 \
+  --env.type=metaworld \
+  --env.task=assembly-v3,dial-turn-v3,handle-press-side-v3 \
+  --output_dir=./outputs/ \
+  --steps=100000 \
+  --batch_size=4 \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=1 \
+  --env_eval_freq=1000
+```
+
+## Practical tips
+
+- Use the one-hot task conditioning for multi-task training (MT10/MT50 conventions) so policies have explicit task context.
+- Inspect the dataset task descriptions and the `info["is_success"]` keys when writing post-processing or logging so your success metrics line up with the benchmark.
+- Adjust `batch_size`, `steps`, and `env_eval_freq` to match your compute budget.

+# MolmoAct2 Policy
+
+MolmoAct2 is the LeRobot policy implementation of
+[MolmoAct2](https://allenai.org/blog/molmoact2), ported into the LeRobot
+training, evaluation, checkpointing, and dataset interfaces for easier use with
+LeRobot datasets.
+
+This implementation currently supports training and evaluation for the regular
+MolmoAct2 model. MolmoAct2-Think, which supports adaptive depth reasoning, is
+not included in this LeRobot policy yet and is coming soon.
+
+For the original MolmoAct2 training code used for the experiments reported in
+the paper, see [allenai/molmoact2](https://github.com/allenai/molmoact2).
+
+## Installation Requirements
+
+Install LeRobot with the MolmoAct2 optional dependencies:
+
+```bash
+uv sync --locked --extra molmoact2
+```
+
+To run the models in this repository, you need an NVIDIA GPU. The measurements
+below were taken on a single NVIDIA H100 80GB with bf16 model loading, LIBERO with two RGB cameras. MolmoAct2 rows use `chunk_size=10`, action dim 7
+padded to `expected_max_action_dim=32`, and `num_flow_timesteps=8`. Training measurements use
+`gradient_checkpointing=true` and include the forward pass, backward pass,
+gradient clipping, optimizer step, and optimizer state allocation. Values are
+peak GPU memory sampled with `nvidia-smi`. Leave a few GiB of headroom for
+dataloader workers, CUDA context, and fragmentation.
+
+Multi-GPU training through `accelerate` increases throughput and global batch
+size, but this LeRobot port does not currently expose the original MolmoAct2
+`fsdp_devices` model-parallel training path. The current training script has
+not been tested for multi-node training.
+
+| Mode                                             | Peak Memory, bs=8 | Peak Memory, bs=16 | Peak Memory, bs=32 |
+| ------------------------------------------------ | ----------------: | -----------------: | -----------------: |

+| Fine-tuning, action expert only, continuous      |          16.5 GiB |           18.3 GiB |           21.4 GiB |
+| Fine-tuning, LoRA VLM, both action modes         |          20.2 GiB |           26.8 GiB |           41.3 GiB |
+| Fine-tuning, full model, both action modes       |          48.3 GiB |           49.8 GiB |           60.1 GiB |
+
+The repo has been tested with Ubuntu 22.04.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use MolmoAct2 in a LeRobot training config, set:
+
+```bash
+--policy.type=molmoact2
+```
+
+## Training
+
+MolmoAct2 can be fine-tuned from either the released MolmoAct2 Hugging Face
+checkpoint format or from a checkpoint already saved by LeRobot. Both routes use
+the same LeRobot training loop, dataset transforms, checkpoint saving, and
+logging. The difference is only how the initial policy weights and processor
+state are loaded.
+
+### Training With Original MolmoAct2 Weight
+
+Use `policy.checkpoint_path` when starting from a released MolmoAct2 checkpoint,
+for example `allenai/MolmoAct2` or `allenai/MolmoAct2-LIBERO`. LeRobot will load
+the original HF model files, then build its own policy processor from the
+dataset metadata and the policy options below.
+
+The command below shows full fine-tuning on the merged LIBERO dataset. It uses
+bf16 model loading, 8 flow timesteps, LeRobot dataset statistics, image
+augmentation, and LeRobot's checkpointing/logging path.
+
+```bash
+accelerate launch \
+  --num_processes=8 \
+  --mixed_precision=bf16 \
+  -m lerobot.scripts.lerobot_train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=allenai/MolmoAct2-LIBERO-Dataset \
+  --dataset.root=/path/to/lerobot/data/allenai/MolmoAct2-LIBERO-Dataset \
+  --dataset.video_backend=pyav \
+  --dataset.image_transforms.enable=true \
+  --policy.type=molmoact2 \
+  --policy.checkpoint_path=allenai/MolmoAct2-LIBERO \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --policy.action_mode=both \
+  --policy.chunk_size=10 \
+  --policy.n_action_steps=10 \
+  --policy.setup_type="single franka robotic arm in libero" \
+  --policy.control_mode="delta end-effector pose" \
+  --policy.image_keys='["observation.images.image","observation.images.wrist_image"]' \
+  --policy.model_dtype=bfloat16 \
+  --policy.num_flow_timesteps=8 \
+  --policy.gradient_checkpointing=true \
+  --policy.freeze_embedding=true \
+  --policy.normalize_gripper=false \
+  --policy.enable_knowledge_insulation=false \
+  --policy.push_to_hub=false \
+  --wandb.enable=true \
+  --wandb.entity=<wandb_entity> \
+  --wandb.project=<wandb_project> \
+  --job_name=<job_name> \
+  --output_dir=outputs/<job_name> \
+  --steps=10000 \
+  --batch_size=32 \
+  --num_workers=4 \
+  --log_freq=20 \
+  --env_eval_freq=-1 \
+  --save_checkpoint=true \
+  --save_freq=2000
+```
+
+### Training With LeRobot MolmoAct2 Weight
+
+Use `policy.path` when starting from a MolmoAct2 checkpoint that was saved by
+LeRobot, either from a local `pretrained_model` directory or from the Hub. This
+restores the saved LeRobot policy config, model weights, processor, and
+normalization statistics. You can still override training-time options such as
+`batch_size`, `steps`, LoRA flags, or `policy.action_mode`.
+
+```bash
+accelerate launch \
+  --num_processes=8 \
+  --mixed_precision=bf16 \
+  -m lerobot.scripts.lerobot_train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=allenai/MolmoAct2-LIBERO-Dataset \
+  --dataset.root=/path/to/lerobot/data/allenai/MolmoAct2-LIBERO-Dataset \
+  --dataset.video_backend=pyav \
+  --dataset.image_transforms.enable=true \
+  --policy.path=/path/to/pretrained_model \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --policy.action_mode=both \
+  --policy.chunk_size=10 \
+  --policy.n_action_steps=10 \
+  --policy.model_dtype=bfloat16 \
+  --policy.num_flow_timesteps=8 \
+  --policy.gradient_checkpointing=true \
+  --wandb.enable=true \
+  --wandb.entity=<wandb_entity> \
+  --wandb.project=<wandb_project> \
+  --job_name=<job_name> \
+  --output_dir=outputs/<job_name> \
+  --steps=10000 \
+  --batch_size=32 \
+  --num_workers=4 \
+  --log_freq=20 \
+  --env_eval_freq=-1 \
+  --save_checkpoint=true \
+  --save_freq=2000
+```
+
+### Common Practices
+
+For fine-tuning on a comparatively small dataset, such as a single LIBERO suite
+or a real-world dataset with less than 200 demonstrations, a global batch size of
+16 to 32 is a good starting point. In these settings, `policy.enable_lora_vlm=true` or `policy.train_action_expert_only=true` is also a practical choice. In both
+cases, we intentionally keep the action expert fully trainable, which we found
+to be crucial for model performance. For larger fine-tuning datasets, larger
+global batch sizes and full fine-tuning are usually preferred.
+
+### Common Policy Options
+
+- `policy.checkpoint_path`: original MolmoAct2 HF checkpoint to initialize from.
+  Use this for released MolmoAct2 weights.
+- `policy.path`: LeRobot checkpoint to initialize from. Use this for checkpoints
+  created by LeRobot training.
+- `policy.action_mode`: training target, one of `continuous`, `discrete`, or
+  `both`. `both` trains the flow-matching action expert and the discrete
+  action-token loss.
+- `policy.train_action_expert_only`: trains only parameters whose names contain
+  `action_expert`. It requires `policy.action_mode=continuous`.
+- `policy.enable_lora_vlm`: enables LoRA on VLM linear layers. Use
+  `policy.enable_lora_action_expert=true` only if LoRA should also cover action
+  expert linear layers. When `policy.enable_lora_action_expert=false`, the
+  action expert base weights remain fully trainable while the VLM is trained
+  through LoRA adapters. When `policy.enable_lora_action_expert=true`, the
+  action expert is also adapter-tuned instead of fully fine-tuned.
+- `policy.enable_knowledge_insulation`: when `true`, detaches action-expert
+  context K/V states before the action loss. The default is `false`.
+- `policy.chunk_size`: action horizon used by the policy. For LIBERO we use
+  `10`. This LeRobot port overrides the loaded checkpoint's
+  `max_action_horizon` with this value.
+- `policy.n_action_steps`: number of actions consumed from each predicted
+  chunk before querying the policy again. For LIBERO, set it to `chunk_size`.
+- `policy.setup_type`: text inserted into the prompt to describe the robot and
+  scene, e.g. `single franka robotic arm in libero`. More examples are listed
+  in the `metadata_by_tag` entries of
+  [`norm_stats.json`](https://huggingface.co/allenai/MolmoAct2/blob/main/norm_stats.json).
+- `policy.control_mode`: text inserted into the prompt to describe the action
+  space, e.g. `delta end-effector pose` or `absolute joint pose`.
+- `policy.image_keys`: ordered LeRobot image observation keys passed to the
+  processor.
+- `policy.model_dtype`: checkpoint/forward dtype, one of `float32`,
+  `bfloat16`, or `float16`. Use `bfloat16` for normal training.
+- `policy.num_flow_timesteps`: number of flow-matching timesteps sampled per
+  example during training. We use `8` for fine-tuning.
+- `policy.num_inference_steps`: optional override for continuous action
+  generation steps at inference time.
+- `policy.gradient_checkpointing`: enables checkpointing in the VLM/action path
+  to reduce activation memory.
+- `policy.freeze_embedding`: freezes input embeddings. The default is `true`.
+- `policy.normalize_gripper`: controls whether gripper dimensions are included
+  in state/action quantile normalization. The default is `false`.
+- `policy.normalize_language`: normalizes task strings before prompt
+  construction. The default is `true`.
+- `policy.mask_action_dim_padding`: masks padded dimensions in the flow loss.
+  Released checkpoints use `policy.expected_max_action_dim=32`.
+- `policy.max_sequence_length`: optional manual sequence cap. Leave unset to
+  infer it from images, state dimension, action dimension, action horizon, and
+  discrete-action mode.
+
+### Learning Rates
+
+MolmoAct2 uses parameter-group learning rates to match the original MolmoAct2
+fine-tuning experiments.
+
+- Full fine-tuning uses `policy.optimizer_lr=1e-5` for the VLM,
+  `policy.optimizer_vit_lr=5e-6` for the vision tower,
+  `policy.optimizer_connector_lr=5e-6` for image connector layers, and
+  `policy.optimizer_action_expert_lr=5e-5` for the action expert.
+- LoRA VLM fine-tuning sets the VLM, vision, and connector LoRA parameter
+  groups to `5e-5` when `policy.enable_lora_vlm=true`. By default,
+  `policy.enable_lora_action_expert=false`, so the action expert is still fully
+  fine-tuned with `policy.optimizer_action_expert_lr`. If
+  `policy.enable_lora_action_expert=true`, the action expert is trained through
+  LoRA adapters instead.
+- Action-expert-only fine-tuning trains only the action expert and uses
+  `policy.optimizer_action_expert_lr=5e-5`.
+
+You can override the full fine-tuning and action-expert learning rates with
+`policy.optimizer_lr`, `policy.optimizer_vit_lr`,
+`policy.optimizer_connector_lr`, and `policy.optimizer_action_expert_lr`.
+Scheduler settings can be changed with `policy.scheduler_warmup_steps`,
+`policy.scheduler_decay_steps`, and `policy.scheduler_decay_lr`.
+
+### Dataset Quantile Statistics
+
+MolmoAct2 defaults to quantile normalization for state and action features. If
+your dataset has not been converted with quantile statistics, you can add them
+with:
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/scripts/augment_dataset_quantile_stats.py \
+  --repo-id=your_dataset
+```
+
+Alternatively, train MolmoAct2 with mean/std normalization:
+
+```bash
+--policy.normalization_mapping='{"ACTION": "MEAN_STD", "STATE": "MEAN_STD", "VISUAL": "IDENTITY"}'
+```
+
+## Evaluation
+
+Evaluation also supports both LeRobot-saved checkpoints and original MolmoAct2
+HF checkpoints. For LIBERO replication, keep the EGL rendering environment
+fixed and use `policy.per_episode_seed=true`.
+
+**Important:** We found that `num_steps_wait=10` does not reliably let the
+LIBERO scene stabilize and can degrade measured success. All LIBERO evaluation
+results reported here use `num_steps_wait=50`.
+
+### Evaluation With LeRobot MolmoAct2 Weight
+
+Use `policy.path` for a checkpoint saved by LeRobot. The saved processor and
+normalization statistics are restored together with the model.
+
+```bash
+export MUJOCO_GL=egl
+export PYOPENGL_PLATFORM=egl
+export OMP_NUM_THREADS=1
+export MKL_NUM_THREADS=1
+
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=allenai/MolmoAct2-LIBERO-LeRobot \
+  --policy.inference_action_mode=continuous \
+  --policy.model_dtype=bfloat16 \
+  --policy.use_amp=true \
+  --policy.enable_inference_cuda_graph=true \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --policy.per_episode_seed=true \
+  --policy.eval_seed=1000 \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  --env.task=libero_10,libero_goal,libero_object,libero_spatial \
+  --env.camera_name_mapping='{"agentview_image":"image","robot0_eye_in_hand_image":"wrist_image"}' \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=50 \
+  --seed=1000
+```
+
+### Evaluation With Original MolmoAct2 Weight
+
+You can evaluate a released Hugging Face checkpoint directly without first
+converting it to a LeRobot checkpoint. In this case, set
+`policy.checkpoint_path` to the HF model repo and provide `policy.norm_tag`.
+For LIBERO, `policy.norm_tag=libero` loads the LIBERO action/state
+normalization statistics, action horizon, prompt metadata, and image-key order
+from the checkpoint's `norm_stats.json`.
+
+To fully replicate the MolmoAct2 paper results with released Hugging Face
+checkpoints, we recommend using the v0.5.1-pinned
+[`allenai/lerobot` `molmoact2-hf-inference`](https://github.com/allenai/lerobot/tree/molmoact2-hf-inference)
+branch. That branch matches the original evaluation settings used for the
+reported numbers.
+
+```bash
+export MUJOCO_GL=egl
+export PYOPENGL_PLATFORM=egl
+export OMP_NUM_THREADS=1
+export MKL_NUM_THREADS=1
+
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.type=molmoact2 \
+  --policy.checkpoint_path=allenai/MolmoAct2-LIBERO \
+  --policy.norm_tag=libero \
+  --policy.inference_action_mode=continuous \
+  --policy.model_dtype=float32 \
+  --policy.use_amp=false \
+  --policy.enable_inference_cuda_graph=true \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --policy.per_episode_seed=true \
+  --policy.eval_seed=1000 \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  --env.task=libero_goal \
+  --env.camera_name_mapping='{"agentview_image":"image","robot0_eye_in_hand_image":"wrist_image"}' \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=50 \
+  --seed=1000
+```
+
+Use `--env.task=libero_10,libero_goal,libero_object,libero_spatial` to run the
+full LIBERO suite. The same command works for other released MolmoAct2
+checkpoints as long as the requested `policy.norm_tag` exists in that
+checkpoint's `norm_stats.json`.
+
+### Common Evaluation Options
+
+- `policy.inference_action_mode`: required for rollout. Use `continuous` for
+  flow-matching inference or `discrete` for action-token inference. It must be
+  compatible with the training-time `policy.action_mode` saved in the
+  checkpoint.
+- `policy.path`: LeRobot checkpoint path or Hub repo. Use this for checkpoints
+  saved by LeRobot.
+- `policy.checkpoint_path`: original MolmoAct2 HF checkpoint path or Hub repo.
+  Use this with `policy.type=molmoact2` and `policy.norm_tag`.
+- `policy.norm_tag`: selects normalization statistics, prompt metadata,
+  image-key order, and action horizon from the original checkpoint's
+  `norm_stats.json`. It is required for direct original-HF checkpoint
+  evaluation.
+- `policy.model_dtype`: model load/forward dtype. Use `bfloat16` for normal
+  GPU evaluation. Use `float32` only when you explicitly want fp32 inference.
+- `policy.use_amp`: runs the policy forward under autocast during eval. For
+  `model_dtype=bfloat16`, keep this enabled.
+- `policy.enable_inference_cuda_graph`: enables the MolmoAct2 inference CUDA
+  graph path for faster repeated continuous-action rollout.
+- `policy.per_episode_seed` and `policy.eval_seed`: make stochastic continuous
+  action generation deterministic per episode for replication.
+- `env.task`: comma-separated LIBERO suites or a single suite. Use
+  `libero_10,libero_goal,libero_object,libero_spatial` for the full benchmark.
+- `env.camera_name_mapping`: maps LIBERO camera names to the image keys expected
+  by the policy processor.
+
+## Performance Results
+
+### LIBERO Benchmark Results
+
+MolmoAct2 has demonstrated strong performance on the LIBERO benchmark suite. To
+compare and test its LeRobot implementation, we fine-tuned
+[`allenai/MolmoAct2-LIBERO`](https://huggingface.co/allenai/MolmoAct2-LIBERO)
+for an additional 10k steps on the LIBERO dataset with per-GPU batch size 32 on
+8 H100 GPUs, then compared the results to the original MolmoAct2 reference
+results.
+
+The LeRobot fine-tuned checkpoint reported here is available at
+[`allenai/MolmoAct2-LIBERO-LeRobot`](https://huggingface.co/allenai/MolmoAct2-LIBERO-LeRobot)
+and was trained on
+[`allenai/MolmoAct2-LIBERO-Dataset`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/MolmoAct2-LIBERO-Dataset).
+
+| Benchmark      | LeRobot Implementation | MolmoAct2 Original |
+| -------------- | ---------------------: | -----------------: |
+| LIBERO Spatial |                  98.4% |              97.8% |
+| LIBERO Object  |                 100.0% |             100.0% |
+| LIBERO Goal    |                  98.0% |              97.8% |
+| LIBERO 10      |                  96.6% |              93.2% |
+| Average        |                 98.25% |             97.20% |
+
+These results demonstrate MolmoAct2's strong performance across diverse robotic
+manipulation tasks. To reproduce them, follow the instructions in the LIBERO
+evaluation section.
+
+## Hardware Deployment (lerobot-rollout)
+
+LeRobot-format checkpoints are available on the Hub for direct use with
+`lerobot-rollout`. Each checkpoint uses specific camera names that must
+match your robot's camera configuration.
+
+### Camera naming convention
+
+Each checkpoint expects specific `observation.images.*` keys.
+If your robot cameras have different names, use `--rename_map` to map them:
+
+| Checkpoint                    | Camera keys            | Description              |
+| ----------------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------ |
+| MolmoAct2-LIBERO-LeRobot      | `image`, `wrist_image` | LIBERO sim cameras       |
+| MolmoAct2-BimanualYAM-LeRobot | `top`, `left`, `right` | YAM 3-camera setup       |
+| MolmoAct2-DROID-LeRobot       | `cam0`, `cam1`         | External + wrist         |
+| MolmoAct2-SO100_101-LeRobot   | `cam0`, `cam1`         | Primary + secondary view |
+
+Example with an SO-100 robot using top and side cameras:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/MolmoAct2-SO100_101-LeRobot \
+  --rename_map='{"observation.images.top": "observation.images.cam0", "observation.images.side": "observation.images.cam1"}' \
+  --robot.type=so100_follower \
+  --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+  --robot.cameras='{
+      top: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30},
+      side: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 2, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}
+  }' \
+  --task="pick up the red cube" --duration=30
+```
+
+To use a wrist camera instead, just change the rename mapping:
+
+```bash
+--rename_map='{"observation.images.top": "observation.images.cam0", "observation.images.wrist": "observation.images.cam1"}'
+```
+
+### Joint frame transform (SO-100/101 zero-shot)
+
+<Tip warning={true}>
+The MolmoAct2-SO100_101 checkpoint was trained on data that uses a different
+joint calibration convention than LeRobot >= 0.5.0. Without a frame
+correction, the arm may move in the wrong direction.
+
+This affects both **zero-shot deployment** and **fine-tuning** from the
+original checkpoint. The pretrained weights expect the old convention, so
+all joint data (observations and actions) must be transformed to match.
+
+The converted LeRobot checkpoint (`lerobot/MolmoAct2-SO100_101-LeRobot`)
+already includes this correction in its processor pipeline. If you convert
+or fine-tune the checkpoint yourself, set the following in the policy config (`configuration_molmoact2.py`):
+
+- `joint_signs`: `[1, -1, 1, 1, 1, 1]` (flips shoulder_lift direction)
+- `joint_offsets`: `[0, 90, 90, 0, 0, 0]` (shifts shoulder_lift and elbow_flex by 90°)
+
+See the [backward compatibility guide](./backwardcomp) for details on the
+calibration change.
+
+</Tip>
+
+## Differences From the Original Implementation
+
+This LeRobot port is intended to match MolmoAct2 behavior while using LeRobot's
+dataset, training, evaluation, checkpoint, and logging infrastructure. The main
+differences from the original training repository are:
+
+- The original paper training stack loads the model in fp32 and trains under
+  mixed precision. This LeRobot port usually loads the checkpoint directly in
+  `policy.model_dtype=bfloat16` for lower memory use.
+- The original repository uses its own FSDP/model-parallel training path. The
+  LeRobot port uses the standard LeRobot/Accelerate training path and has not
+  been tested for multi-node training.
+- The original repository supports sequence packing. The LeRobot port trains on
+  one LeRobot sample per item and pads to an inferred fixed sequence budget.
+- The LeRobot port follows LeRobot's optimizer, scheduler, checkpoint saving,
+  dataset transforms, image augmentation, and Weights & Biases logging
+  conventions.
+- The original training path supports mixed action horizons by padding to
+  `max_action_horizon` and masking padded horizon slots in the action expert
+  self-attention. This is useful when training across datasets with different
+  control frequencies. The LeRobot port currently targets single-dataset
+  fine-tuning, so `policy.chunk_size` overrides the checkpoint
+  `max_action_horizon` and horizon masking is not implemented yet. Support for
+  this mixed-horizon path is planned.

+# Multi-GPU Training
+
+This guide shows you how to train policies on multiple GPUs using [Hugging Face Accelerate](https://huggingface.co/docs/accelerate).
+
+## Installation
+
+`accelerate` is included in the `training` extra. Install it with:
+
+```bash
+pip install 'lerobot[training]'
+```
+
+## Training with Multiple GPUs
+
+You can launch training in two ways:
+
+### Option 1: Without config (specify parameters directly)
+
+You can specify all parameters directly in the command without running `accelerate config`:
+
+```bash
+accelerate launch \
+  --multi_gpu \
+  --num_processes=2 \
+  $(which lerobot-train) \
+  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_dataset \
+  --policy.type=act \
+  --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_trained_policy \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/act_multi_gpu \
+  --job_name=act_multi_gpu \
+  --wandb.enable=true
+```
+
+**Key accelerate parameters:**
+
+- `--multi_gpu`: Enable multi-GPU training
+- `--num_processes=2`: Number of GPUs to use
+- `--mixed_precision=fp16`: Use fp16 mixed precision (or `bf16` if supported)
+
+### Option 2: Using accelerate config
+
+If you prefer to save your configuration, you can optionally configure accelerate for your hardware setup by running:
+
+```bash
+accelerate config
+```
+
+This interactive setup will ask you questions about your training environment (number of GPUs, mixed precision settings, etc.) and saves the configuration for future use. For a simple multi-GPU setup on a single machine, you can use these recommended settings:
+
+- Compute environment: This machine
+- Number of machines: 1
+- Number of processes: (number of GPUs you want to use)
+- GPU ids to use: (leave empty to use all)
+- Mixed precision: fp16 or bf16 (recommended for faster training)
+
+Then launch training with:
+
+```bash
+accelerate launch $(which lerobot-train) \
+  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_dataset \
+  --policy.type=act \
+  --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_trained_policy \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/act_multi_gpu \
+  --job_name=act_multi_gpu \
+  --wandb.enable=true
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+When you launch training with accelerate:
+
+1. **Automatic detection**: LeRobot automatically detects if it's running under accelerate
+2. **Data distribution**: Your batch is automatically split across GPUs
+3. **Gradient synchronization**: Gradients are synchronized across GPUs during backpropagation
+4. **Single process logging**: Only the main process logs to wandb and saves checkpoints
+
+## Learning Rate and Training Steps Scaling
+
+**Important:** LeRobot does **NOT** automatically scale learning rates or training steps based on the number of GPUs. This gives you full control over your training hyperparameters.
+
+### Why No Automatic Scaling?
+
+Many distributed training frameworks automatically scale the learning rate by the number of GPUs (e.g., `lr = base_lr × num_gpus`).
+However, LeRobot keeps the learning rate exactly as you specify it.
+
+### When and How to Scale
+
+If you want to scale your hyperparameters when using multiple GPUs, you should do it manually:
+
+**Learning Rate Scaling:**
+
+```bash
+# Example: 2 GPUs with linear LR scaling
+# Base LR: 1e-4, with 2 GPUs -> 2e-4
+accelerate launch --num_processes=2 $(which lerobot-train) \
+  --optimizer.lr=2e-4 \
+  --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/pusht \
+  --policy.type=act
+```
+
+**Training Steps Scaling:**
+
+Since the effective batch size `bs` increases with multiple GPUs (batch_size × num_gpus), you may want to reduce the number of training steps proportionally:
+
+```bash
+# Example: 2 GPUs with effective batch size 2x larger
+# Original: batch_size=8, steps=100000
+# With 2 GPUs: batch_size=8 (16 in total), steps=50000
+accelerate launch --num_processes=2 $(which lerobot-train) \
+  --batch_size=8 \
+  --steps=50000 \
+  --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/pusht \
+  --policy.type=act
+```
+
+## Training Large Models with FSDP
+
+DDP replicates the full model on every GPU, so a model that doesn't fit on one GPU won't fit under
+DDP either. For large models, use **FSDP** (Fully Sharded Data Parallel), which shards parameters,
+gradients, and optimizer state across GPUs. See the [accelerate FSDP guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/accelerate/usage_guides/fsdp) for background.
+
+An example on how to launch LeRobot training with FSDP across 4 GPUs (1 machine):
+
+```bash
+accelerate launch --config_file fsdp.yaml --num_processes=4 $(which lerobot-train) \
+  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_dataset \
+  --policy.type=<your_policy> \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/my_policy_fsdp
+```
+
+A minimal `fsdp.yaml` (FSDP1; shards params/grads/optimizer — ZeRO-3-equivalent):
+
+```yaml
+compute_environment: LOCAL_MACHINE
+distributed_type: FSDP
+mixed_precision: bf16
+num_machines: 1
+num_processes: 4
+fsdp_config:
+  fsdp_version: 1
+  fsdp_sharding_strategy: FULL_SHARD # params + grads + optimizer (ZeRO-3)
+  fsdp_auto_wrap_policy: TRANSFORMER_BASED_WRAP
+  fsdp_transformer_layer_cls_to_wrap: <YourTransformerBlock> # repeated block class to shard
+  fsdp_use_orig_params: true # required: optimizer is built pre-prepare
+  fsdp_state_dict_type: FULL_STATE_DICT
+```
+
+Set `fsdp_transformer_layer_cls_to_wrap` to your model's repeated transformer-block class so each
+block is sharded as its own unit. `fsdp_use_orig_params: true` is required because LeRobot builds the
+optimizer before `accelerator.prepare()`.
+
+### FSDP checkpoints
+
+LeRobot gathers the full state dict across all ranks and the main process writes it as a single
+`model.safetensors`, loadable as usual with `Policy.from_pretrained(...)`. Two things to look out for:
+
+- **Checkpoints store fp32 weights.** Under mixed precision (`bf16`/`fp16`) FSDP keeps an fp32 master
+  copy, and the checkpoint saves it (~2× the bf16 size on disk) so training can resume consistently
+  with the fp32 optimizer state; `from_pretrained` casts back to the policy dtype on load. FSDP-specific
+  caveat: an fp32 checkpoint is materialized in full precision on the target device _before_ casting,
+  so loading it for inference on a tight GPU can OOM even when the bf16 model would fit — load on CPU
+  first, or cast `model.safetensors` to the deployment dtype offline.
+- The sharded optimizer state is gathered into a full (world-size-independent) state dict and saved
+  alongside the model in the same `optimizer_state.safetensors` / `optimizer_param_groups.json`
+  format as single-GPU training, so **resume-from-checkpoint is supported** with `--resume=true`.
+  Resume reshards both the model and the optimizer state to the _current_ FSDP topology, so you can
+  resume an FSDP checkpoint on a different number of GPUs. Note that the data sampler is only
+  sample-exact when the world size and batch size match the original run (a warning is logged
+  otherwise); the optimizer/model state itself is unaffected.
+
+## Notes
+
+- The `--policy.use_amp` flag in `lerobot-train` is only used when **not** running with accelerate. When using accelerate, mixed precision is controlled by accelerate's configuration.
+- Training logs, checkpoints, and hub uploads are only done by the main process to avoid conflicts. Non-main processes have console logging disabled to prevent duplicate output.
+- The effective batch size is `batch_size × num_gpus`. If you use 4 GPUs with `--batch_size=8`, your effective batch size is 32.
+- Learning rate scheduling is handled correctly across multiple processes—LeRobot sets `step_scheduler_with_optimizer=False` to prevent accelerate from adjusting scheduler steps based on the number of processes.
+- When saving or pushing models, LeRobot automatically unwraps the model from accelerate's distributed wrapper to ensure compatibility.
+- WandB integration automatically initializes only on the main process, preventing multiple runs from being created.
+

+# Multitask DiT Policy
+
+Multitask Diffusion Transformer (DiT) Policy is an evolution of the original Diffusion Policy architecture, which leverages a large DiT with text and vision conditioning for multitask robot learning. This implementation supports both diffusion and flow matching objectives for action generation, enabling robots to perform diverse manipulation tasks conditioned on language instructions.
+
+## Model Overview
+
+The model uses:
+
+- **CLIP Vision Encoder**: Processes RGB images from multiple camera views
+- **CLIP Text Encoder**: Encodes language task instructions (frozen weights with learnable projection)
+- **Diffusion Transformer**: Predicts action sequences conditioned on observations and language
+- **Two Objectives**: Supports both diffusion (DDPM/DDIM) and flow matching for action generation
+
+This model is exciting because you can achieve extremely high dexterity, competitive with multi-billion parameter
+VLAs, with only ~450M parameters and significantly less training.
+
+## Installation Requirements
+
+Multitask DiT Policy has additional dependencies. Install it with:
+
+```bash
+pip install lerobot[multi_task_dit]
+```
+
+This will install all necessary dependencies including the HuggingFace Transformers library for CLIP models.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use Multitask DiT in your LeRobot configuration, specify the policy type as:
+
+```python
+policy.type=multi_task_dit
+```
+
+## Training
+
+### Basic Training Command
+
+Here's a complete training command for training Multitask DiT on your dataset:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=YOUR_DATASET \
+  --output_dir=./outputs/multitask_dit_training \
+  --batch_size=32 \
+  --steps=5000 \
+  --save_freq=500 \
+  --log_freq=100 \
+  --policy.type=multi_task_dit \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --policy.repo_id="HF_USER/multitask-dit-your-robot" \
+  --wandb.enable=true
+```
+
+### Recommended Hyperparameters and Dataset Details (30Hz Control Frequency)
+
+For reliable performance, start with these suggested default hyperparameters:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=YOUR_DATASET \
+  --output_dir=./outputs/mutitask_dit_training \
+  --batch_size=320 \
+  --steps=30000 \
+  --policy.type=multi_task_dit \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --policy.horizon=32 \
+  --policy.n_action_steps=24 \
+  --policy.objective=diffusion \
+  --policy.noise_scheduler_type=DDPM \
+  --policy.num_train_timesteps=100 \
+  --policy.repo_id="HF_USER/multitask-dit-your-robot" \
+  --wandb.enable=true
+```
+
+**Key Parameters:**
+
+- **Batch Size**: 192-320 - If you have access to a GPU that can support this, you will get the best training dynamics
+- **Horizon**: 32 - number of action steps to predict, ~1.0 sec at 30Hz
+- **n_action_steps**: 24 - ~0.8 seconds at 30Hz
+- **Objective**: `diffusion` - start with diffusion and experiment with flow matching if generation quality is poor
+- **Training Steps**: >30k steps recommended for a single task
+
+### Training Configuration Parameters
+
+#### Objective Selection
+
+Choose between diffusion and flow matching:
+
+```bash
+# Diffusion objective (default)
+--policy.objective=diffusion \
+--policy.noise_scheduler_type=DDPM \  # or "DDIM"
+--policy.num_train_timesteps=100 \
+--policy.num_inference_steps=10 \  # For faster inference
+--policy.beta_schedule=squaredcos_cap_v2 \  # Noise schedule type
+--policy.prediction_type=epsilon \  # "epsilon" (predict noise) or "sample" (predict clean)
+--policy.clip_sample=true \  # Clip samples during denoising
+--policy.clip_sample_range=1.0  # Clipping range [-x, x]
+
+# Flow matching objective
+--policy.objective=flow_matching \
+--policy.timestep_sampling_strategy=beta \  # or "uniform" | the beta sampling strategy performance appears much better in practice
+--policy.num_integration_steps=100 \
+--policy.integration_method=euler \  # or "rk4"
+--policy.sigma_min=0.0  # Minimum noise in flow interpolation path
+```
+
+#### Transformer Architecture
+
+Adjust model capacity based on dataset size:
+
+```bash
+# Small datasets (< 100 examples)
+--policy.num_layers=4 \
+--policy.hidden_dim=512 \
+--policy.num_heads=8  # should ideally be hidden_dim // 64
+
+# Medium datasets (100-5k examples) - default
+--policy.num_layers=6 \
+--policy.hidden_dim=512 \
+--policy.num_heads=8  # should ideally be hidden_dim // 64
+
+# Large datasets (> 5k examples)
+--policy.num_layers=8 \
+--policy.hidden_dim=512 \
+--policy.num_heads=8   # should ideally be hidden_dim // 64
+```
+
+**Positional Encoding Options:**
+
+The model supports two positional encoding methods for action sequences:
+
+```bash
+# Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE) - default, recommended
+--policy.use_rope=true \
+--policy.rope_base=10000.0  # Base frequency for RoPE
+
+# Absolute positional encoding
+--policy.use_positional_encoding=true  # Disables RoPE when true
+```
+
+**Other Transformer Parameters:**
+
+```bash
+--policy.dropout=0.1  # Dropout rate for DiT blocks (0.0-1.0)
+--policy.timestep_embed_dim=256  # Timestep embedding dimension
+```
+
+#### Vision Encoder Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Use different CLIP model for more expressivity at the cost of inference time
+# experiment with larger or smaller models depending on the complexity of your tasks and size of dataset
+--policy.vision_encoder_name=openai/clip-vit-large-patch14
+
+# Use separate vision encoder per camera
+# This may be useful when cameras have significantly different characteristics, but
+# be wary of increased VRAM footprint.
+--policy.use_separate_rgb_encoder_per_camera=true
+
+# Image preprocessing
+--policy.image_resize_shape=[XXX,YYY] \ # you may need to resize your images for inference speed ups
+--policy.image_crop_shape=[224,224] \
+--policy.image_crop_is_random=true  # Random during training, center at inference
+```
+
+#### Text Encoder Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Use different CLIP text encoder model
+# same as vision: experiment with larger or smaller models depending on the
+# complexity of your tasks and size of dataset
+--policy.text_encoder_name=openai/clip-vit-large-patch14
+```
+
+#### Learning Rate Configuration
+
+The vision encoder uses a separate learning rate multiplier, where 1/10th is suggested to be the ideal staritng point:
+
+```bash
+--policy.optimizer_lr=2e-5 \
+--policy.vision_encoder_lr_multiplier=0.1  # Vision encoder LR = 0.1 * optimizer_lr
+```
+
+### Training Tuning Guidelines
+
+#### 1. Flow Matching with Beta Sampling
+
+The original diffusion implementation here is based on the work described in [TRI's LBM paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.05331)
+
+Additionally, we have implemented a flow-matching objective, which is described at a high-level in [Boston Dynamics blog post](https://bostondynamics.com/blog/large-behavior-models-atlas-find-new-footing/).
+
+Consider testing the flow-matching objective and evaluating performance differences for your task:
+
+```bash
+--policy.objective=flow_matching \
+--policy.timestep_sampling_strategy=beta \
+--policy.timestep_sampling_alpha=1.5 \
+--policy.timestep_sampling_beta=1.0 \
+--policy.timestep_sampling_s=0.999
+```
+
+This hasn't been shown to be a silver bullet across every user case, but it occasionally results in smoother and more consistent actions.
+
+#### 2. Number of Transformer Layers
+
+Match model capacity to your dataset size:
+
+- **Small datasets** (< 100 examples): Reduce to 4 layers
+- **Large datasets** (> 5k examples): Increase to 8 layers
+
+#### 3. `horizon` Tuning
+
+The model can be sensitive to the horizon you choose. Start with around a 1 second horizon based on your control frequency:
+
+- **30 Hz frequency**: `horizon=30`
+- **10 Hz frequency**: `horizon=10`
+
+Then experiment with increasing from there. The horizon determines how far into the future the model predicts actions.
+
+#### 4. `n_action_steps` Sensitivity
+
+The model can also be very sensitive to `n_action_steps`. Start with it being around 0.8 seconds based on your control frequency and tune from there:
+
+- **Lower values**: More reactive but potentially less stable for long-horizon tasks
+- **Higher values**: Better for long-horizon execution but open-loop failures are limited in their recovery
+
+### Inference Tuning
+
+For faster inference, use DDIM with fewer sampling steps:
+
+```bash
+--policy.noise_scheduler_type=DDIM \
+--policy.num_inference_steps=10
+```
+
+### Resuming Training
+
+To resume training from a checkpoint:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --config_path=./outputs/mutitask_dit_training/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model/train_config.json \
+  --resume=true
+```
+
+The checkpoint directory should contain `model.safetensors` and `config.json` files (saved automatically during training). When resuming, the configuration is loaded from the checkpoint, so you don't need to specify other parameters.
+
+## Common Failure Modes and Debugging
+
+Training these models can be finicky. Here are common failure modes and debugging approaches:
+
+### Idling / No Motion
+
+The model may "collapse" during inference, resulting in static or no motion. This can occur when:
+
+1. **Insufficient training data**: If you only have 20-50 examples, try to roughly double your dataset size. Once you have above 300 examples, if you're still seeing this, the task may be too complex.
+
+2. **Multiple similar tasks**: When your dataset contains multiple similar tasks (e.g., picking up 2 different objects), the model may rely too heavily on language conditioning which might not be rich enough.
+
+**Debugging tips:**
+
+- Increase dataset size (double until you get to over 300 examples)
+- Train for longer, up to 100k steps, even when the loss flatlines
+- Check if the model is receiving proper language instructions or increase diversity of instruction
+
+### Executing the Wrong Task
+
+Sometimes the robot will completely ignore your instruction and perform some other task. This generally only happens if you have trained on multiple tasks.
+
+**Potential causes:**
+
+- Language instruction ambiguity
+- Insufficient task-specific training data
+- Model confusion between similar tasks in the multitask dataset
+
+**Debugging tips:**
+
+- Verify language instruction specificity, especially if descriptions are similar between multiple tasks
+- Check task distribution in your training dataset and add weighting to the failing/ignored task
+- Consider task-specific fine-tuning
+
+### Training Instability
+
+If training loss is unstable or diverging:
+
+- Try adjusting learning rate between `1e-5` and `3e-4`
+- Increase batch size if possible
+- Check that your dataset normalization is correct
+- Verify image preprocessing is working correctly
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### GPU Requirements
+
+- **Inference**: At least an RTX 5070 Ti (or equivalent GPU) is recommended for reasonable speed performance
+- **Training**: A GPU with enough VRAM to load batch sizes of >64 is ideal, which will vary depending on the number of image observations, etc
+
+### Batch Size Recommendations
+
+- **Minimum**: 64 (less than this may result in unstable training)
+- **Recommended**: 256-320 (best performance, requires larger GPU)
+
+## Example: Training on Custom Dataset
+
+Here's a complete example training on a custom dataset:
+
+```bash

+## Order and Assemble the parts
+
+First, assemble the OMX hardware following the official assembly guide.
+
+OMX Assembly Guide: https://ai.robotis.com/omx/assembly_guide_omx.html
+
+OMX robots are shipped preconfigured from the factory. Motor IDs, communication parameters, and joint offsets are already set, so no additional motor setup or calibration is required before using LeRobot.
+
+## Install LeRobot 🤗
+
+To install LeRobot, follow our [Installation Guide](./installation)
+
+In addition to these instructions, you need to install the Dynamixel SDK:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[dynamixel]"
+```
+
+## Connect the robot
+
+To find the port for each bus servo adapter, run this script:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-find-port
+```
+
+This command runs and when prompted, disconnect the USB cable from either the leader or follower arm and press Enter. The output will show 'The port of this MotorsBus is [port]'. This identifies the port for the disconnected arm. Repeat for the other arm to identify both ports.
+
+<hfoptions id="find_port">
+<hfoption id="Mac">
+
+Example output on macOS:
+
+```
+Finding all available ports for the MotorBus.
+['/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081', '/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0031751']
+Remove the USB cable from your MotorsBus and press Enter when done.
+
+[...Disconnect corresponding leader or follower arm and press Enter...]
+
+The port of this MotorsBus is /dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081
+Reconnect the USB cable.
+```
+
+Where the found port is: `/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081` corresponding to your leader or follower arm.
+
+</hfoption>
+<hfoption id="Linux">
+
+On Linux, we strongly recommend using udev rules to assign persistent and human-readable device names to the OMX leader and follower arms. This avoids issues where device names such as ttyACM0 and ttyACM1 change when the robot is unplugged, replugged, or when the system is rebooted.
+
+#### 1. Find your device serial numbers
+
+You should have obtained the port numbers like ../../ttyACM? for the leader and follower using `lerobot-find-port`. You can match those results with the serial numbers using the `ls -l /dev/serial/by-id/` command.
+To create udev rules, you need the unique serial number for each OMX device. The easiest way is to list devices under:
+
+```bash
+ls -l /dev/serial/by-id/
+```
+
+You will see output similar to:
+
+```bash
+usb-ROBOTIS_OpenRB-150_228BDD7B503059384C2E3120FF0A2B19-if00 -> ../../ttyACM0
+usb-ROBOTIS_OpenRB-150_67E1ED68503059384C2E3120FF092234-if00 -> ../../ttyACM1
+```
+
+In each line, the serial number is the long string after `usb-ROBOTIS_OpenRB-150_` and before `-if00`.
+
+Follower serial: `228BDD7B503059384C2E3120FF0A2B19`
+
+Leader serial: `67E1ED68503059384C2E3120FF092234`
+
+#### 2. Create the udev rule
+
+Create a new udev rule file:
+
+```bash
+sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-omx.rules
+```
+
+Paste the following lines, replacing the serial numbers with the values you found above:
+
+```bash
+SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{serial}=="228BDD7B503059384C2E3120FF0A2B19", SYMLINK+="omx_follower"
+SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{serial}=="67E1ED68503059384C2E3120FF092234", SYMLINK+="omx_leader"
+```
+
+Save the file and reload udev rules:
+
+```bash
+sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
+sudo udevadm trigger
+```
+
+Now unplug and replug both devices once.
+
+#### 3. Verify the symlinks
+
+Check that the persistent device names exist:
+
+```bash
+ls -l /dev/omx_follower /dev/omx_leader
+```
+
+You should see them pointing to ttyACM\* devices:
+
+```bash
+/dev/omx_follower -> ttyACM*
+/dev/omx_leader   -> ttyACM*
+```
+
+These names remain stable across reboots and reconnections.
+
+</hfoption>
+</hfoptions>
+
+## Teleoperate
+
+After identifying the correct ports, you can directly teleoperate the follower arm using the leader arm.
+
+<hfoptions id="teleoperate">

+### Teleoperate without camera
+
+```bash
+lerobot-teleoperate \
+  --robot.type=omx_follower \

+  --robot.id=omx_follower_arm \
+  --teleop.type=omx_leader \
+  --teleop.port=<your_leader_port> \
+  --teleop.id=omx_leader_arm
+```
+
+During teleoperation, motions of the leader arm are mirrored in real time by the follower arm. OMX is already preconfigured, teleoperation can begin immediately without any calibration steps.
+
+### Teleoperate with camera
+
+You can also enable camera input during teleoperation by providing a camera configuration for the follower arm.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-teleoperate \
+  --robot.type=omx_follower \
+  --robot.port=<your_follower_port> \
+  --robot.id=omx_follower_arm \
+  --robot.cameras="{front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: '/dev/video0', width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
+  --teleop.type=omx_leader \
+  --teleop.port=<your_leader_port> \
+  --teleop.id=omx_leader_arm \
+  --display_data=true
+```
+
+When the camera is enabled, the camera stream is displayed in real time and synchronized with the robot state. This setup is useful for visual monitoring and can be reused later for demonstration recording and imitation learning.

+
+- **Safety-First Architecture**: Built with QDD backdrivable motors and high compliance, OpenArm prioritizes safe human-robot interaction while maintaining practical payload capabilities (6.0kg peak / 4.1kg nominal) for real-world tasks.
+
+- **Built for Durability**: Critical structural components use aluminum and stainless steel construction, ensuring robust performance for repetitive data collection and continuous research use.
+
+- **Fully Accessible & Buildable**: Every component, from CNC parts and 3D-printed casings to electrical wiring is designed to be purchasable and buildable by individual researchers and labs, with complete fabrication data provided.
+
+- **Practical & Affordable**: At $6,500 USD for a complete bimanual system, OpenArm delivers research-grade capabilities at a fraction of traditional humanoid robot costs.
+
+## Platform Requirements
+
+<Tip warning={true}>
+  **Linux Only**: OpenArm currently only works on Linux. The CAN bus USB adapter
+  does not have macOS drivers and has not been tested on Windows.
+</Tip>
+
+## Safety Guide
+
+Before operating OpenArm, please read the [official safety guide](https://docs.openarm.dev/getting-started/safety-guide). Key points:
+
+- **Secure installation**: Fasten the arm to a flat, stable surface with screws or clamps
+- **Safe distance**: Keep body parts and objects outside the range of motion during operation
+- **Protective equipment**: Always wear safety goggles; use additional PPE as needed
+- **Payload limits**: Do not exceed specified payload limits (6.0kg peak / 4.1kg nominal per arm)
+- **Emergency stop**: Know the location and operation of the emergency stop device
+- **Regular inspection**: Check for loose screws, damaged mechanical limits, unusual noises, and wiring damage
+
+## Hardware Setup

+# Parameter efficient fine-tuning with 🤗 PEFT
+
+[🤗 PEFT](https://github.com/huggingface/peft) (Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning) is a library for efficiently adapting
+large pretrained models such as pre-trained policies (e.g., SmolVLA, π₀, ...) to new tasks without training all
+of the model's parameters while yielding comparable performance.
+
+Install the `lerobot[peft]` optional package to enable PEFT support.
+
+To read about all the possible methods of adaption, please refer to the [🤗 PEFT docs](https://huggingface.co/docs/peft/index).
+
+## Training SmolVLA
+
+In this section we'll show you how to train a pre-trained SmolVLA policy with PEFT on the libero dataset.
+For brevity we're only training on the `libero_spatial` subset. We will use `lerobot/smolvla_base` as the model
+to parameter efficiently fine-tune:
+
+```
+lerobot-train \
+ --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_base \
+ --policy.repo_id=your_hub_name/my_libero_smolvla \
+ --dataset.repo_id=HuggingFaceVLA/libero \
+ --policy.output_features=null \
+ --policy.input_features=null \
+ --policy.optimizer_lr=1e-3 \
+ --policy.scheduler_decay_lr=1e-4 \
+ --env.type=libero \
+ --env.task=libero_spatial \
+ --steps=100000 \
+ --batch_size=32 \
+ --peft.method_type=LORA \
+ --peft.r=64 \
+ --peft.lora_alpha=64
+```
+
+Note the `--peft.method_type` parameter that let's you select which PEFT method to use. Here we use
+[LoRA](https://huggingface.co/docs/peft/main/en/package_reference/lora) (Low-Rank Adapter) which is probably the most
+popular fine-tuning method to date. Low-rank adaption means that we only fine-tune a matrix with comparably low rank
+instead of the full weight matrix. This rank can be specified using the `--peft.r` parameter, and the LoRA scaling factor with
+`--peft.lora_alpha` (where `scaling = lora_alpha / r`). The higher the rank
+the closer you get to full fine-tuning
+
+There are more complex methods that have more parameters. These are not yet supported, feel free to raise an issue
+if you want to see a specific PEFT method supported.
+
+By default, PEFT will target the `q_proj` and `v_proj` layers of the LM expert in SmolVLA. It will also target the
+state and action projection matrices as they are most likely task-dependent. If you need to target different layers
+you can use `--peft.target_modules` to specify which layers to target. You can refer to the respective PEFT method's
+documentation to see what inputs are supported, (e.g., [LoRA's target_modules documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/peft/main/en/package_reference/lora#peft.LoraConfig.target_modules)).
+Usually a list of suffixes or a regex are supported. For example, to target the MLPs of the `lm_expert` instead of
+the `q` and `v` projections, use:
+
+```
+--peft.target_modules='(model\.vlm_with_expert\.lm_expert\..*\.(down|gate|up)_proj|.*\.(state_proj|action_in_proj|action_out_proj|action_time_mlp_in|action_time_mlp_out))'
+```
+
+In case you need to fully fine-tune a layer instead of just adapting it, you can supply a list of layer suffixes
+to the `--peft.full_training_modules` parameter:
+
+```
+--peft.full_training_modules=["state_proj"]
+```
+
+The learning rate and the scheduled target learning rate can usually be scaled by a factor of 10 compared to the
+learning rate used for full fine-tuning (e.g., 1e-4 normal, so 1e-3 using LoRA).

+# Phone
+
+Use your phone (iOS or Android) to control your robot.
+
+**In this guide you'll learn:**
+
+- How to connect an iOS/Android phone
+- How phone pose is mapped to robot end‑effector (EE) targets
+- How to tweak safety limits, gripper control, and IK settings
+
+To use phone to control your robot, install the relevant dependencies with:
+
+```bash
+pip install lerobot[phone]
+```
+
+## Get started
+
+### Supported platforms
+
+- iOS: Uses the HEBI Mobile I/O app (ARKit pose + buttons). Download the app first, open it and the examples will discover it on your network and stream the phone pose and inputs.
+- Android: Uses the `teleop` package (WebXR). When you start the Python process, it prints a local URL. Open the link on your phone, tap Start, then use Move to stream pose.
+
+Links:
+
+- Android WebXR library: [`teleop` on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/teleop/)
+- iOS app: [HEBI Mobile I/O](https://docs.hebi.us/tools.html#mobile-io)
+
+### Phone orientation and controls
+
+- Orientation: hold the phone with the screen facing up and the top edge pointing in the same direction as the robot gripper. This ensures calibration aligns the phone’s frame with the robot frame so motion feels natural, see the image below for reference.
+- Enable/disable:
+  - iOS: Hold `B1` to enable teleoperation, release to stop. The first press captures a reference pose.
+  - Android: Press and hold the `Move` button, release to stop. The first press captures a reference pose.
+- Gripper control:
+  - iOS: Analog input `A3` controls the gripper as velocity input.
+  - Android: Buttons `A` and `B` act like increment/decrement (A opens, B closes). You can tune velocity in the `GripperVelocityToJoint` step.
+
+<img src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/lerobot/phone_teleop.webp" alt="Phone teleop orientation" title="Phone teleop orientation" width="40%">
+
+### Step 1: Choose the platform
+
+Modify the examples to use `PhoneOS.IOS` or `PhoneOS.ANDROID` in `PhoneConfig`. The API is identical across platforms, only the input source differs. All examples are under `examples/` and have `phone_so100_*.py` variants.
+
+Teleoperation example:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.teleoperators.phone import Phone, PhoneConfig
+from lerobot.teleoperators.phone.config_phone import PhoneOS
+
+teleop_config = PhoneConfig(phone_os=PhoneOS.IOS)  # or PhoneOS.ANDROID
+teleop_device = Phone(teleop_config)
+```
+
+### Step 2: Connect and calibrate
+
+When `Phone(teleop_config)` is created and `connect()` is called, calibration is prompted automatically. Hold the phone in the orientation described above, then:
+
+- iOS: press and hold `B1` to capture the reference pose.
+- Android: press `Move` button on the WebXR page to capture the reference pose.
+
+Why calibrate? We capture the current pose so subsequent poses are expressed in a robot aligned frame. When you again press the button to enable control, the position is recaptured to avoid drift when your phone is repositioned while it was disabled.
+
+### Step 3: Run an example
+
+Run on of the examples scripts to teleoperate, record a dataset, replay a dataset or evaluate a policy.
+
+All scripts assume you configured your robot (e.g., SO-100 follower) and set the correct serial port.
+
+Additionally you need to **copy the URDF of the robot into the examples folder**. For the examples in this tutorial (using SO100/SO101), copy the `SO101` folder from the [SO-ARM100 repo](https://github.com/TheRobotStudio/SO-ARM100/blob/main/Simulation/SO101) into the `examples/phone_to_so100/` directory, so that the URDF file path becomes `examples/phone_to_so100/SO101/so101_new_calib.urdf`.
+
+- Run this example to teleoperate:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd examples/phone_to_so100
+  python teleoperate.py
+  ```
+
+After running the example:
+
+- Android: after starting the script, open the printed local URL on your phone, tap Start, then press and hold Move.
+- iOS: open HEBI Mobile I/O first; B1 enables motion. A3 controls the gripper.
+
+Additionally you can customize mapping or safety limits by editing the processor steps shown in the examples. You can also remap inputs (e.g., use a different analog input) or adapt the pipeline to other robots (e.g., LeKiwi) by modifying the input and kinematics steps. More about this in the [Processors for Robots and Teleoperators](./processors_robots_teleop) guide.
+
+- Run this example to record a dataset, which saves absolute end effector observations and actions:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd examples/phone_to_so100
+  python record.py
+  ```
+
+- Run this example to replay recorded episodes:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd examples/phone_to_so100
+  python replay.py
+  ```
+
+- Run this example to evaluate a pretrained policy:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd examples/phone_to_so100
+  python evaluate.py
+  ```
+
+### Important pipeline steps and options
+
+- Kinematics are used in multiple steps. We use [Placo](https://github.com/Rhoban/placo) which is a wrapper around Pinocchio for handling our kinematics. We construct the kinematics object by passing the robot's URDF and target frame. We set `target_frame_name` to the gripper frame.
+
+  ```python
+  kinematics_solver = RobotKinematics(
+    urdf_path="./SO101/so101_new_calib.urdf",
+    target_frame_name="gripper_frame_link",
+    joint_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()),
+  )
+
+  ```
+
+- The `MapPhoneActionToRobotAction` step converts the calibrated phone pose and inputs into target deltas and gripper commands, below is shown what the step outputs.
+
+  ```python
+  action["enabled"] = enabled
+        action["target_x"] = -pos[1] if enabled else 0.0
+        action["target_y"] = pos[0] if enabled else 0.0
+        action["target_z"] = pos[2] if enabled else 0.0
+        action["target_wx"] = rotvec[1] if enabled else 0.0
+        action["target_wy"] = rotvec[0] if enabled else 0.0
+        action["target_wz"] = -rotvec[2] if enabled else 0.0
+        action["gripper_vel"] = gripper_vel  # Still send gripper action when disabled
+  ```
+
+- The `EEReferenceAndDelta` step converts target deltas to an absolute desired EE pose, storing a reference on enable, the `end_effector_step_sizes` are the step sizes for the EE pose and can be modified to change the motion speed.
+
+  ```python
+  EEReferenceAndDelta(
+      kinematics=kinematics_solver,
+      end_effector_step_sizes={"x": 0.5, "y": 0.5, "z": 0.5},
+      motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()),
+      use_latched_reference=True,
+  ),
+  ```
+
+- The `EEBoundsAndSafety` step clamps EE motion to a workspace and checks for large ee step jumps to ensure safety. The `end_effector_bounds` are the bounds for the EE pose and can be modified to change the workspace. The `max_ee_step_m` are the step limits for the EE pose and can be modified to change the safety limits.
+
+  ```python
+  EEBoundsAndSafety(
+      end_effector_bounds={"min": [-1.0, -1.0, -1.0], "max": [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]},
+      max_ee_step_m=0.10,
+  )
+  ```
+
+- The `GripperVelocityToJoint` step turns a velocity‑like gripper input into absolute gripper position using the current measured state. The `speed_factor` is the factor by which the velocity is multiplied.
+
+  ```python
+  GripperVelocityToJoint(speed_factor=20.0)
+  ```
+
+#### Different IK initial guesses
+
+We use different IK initial guesses in the kinematic steps. As initial guess either the current measured joints or the previous IK solution is used.
+
+- Closed loop (used in record/eval): sets `initial_guess_current_joints=True` so IK starts from the measured joints each frame.
+
+  ```python
+  InverseKinematicsEEToJoints(
+      kinematics=kinematics_solver,
+      motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()),
+      initial_guess_current_joints=True,  # closed loop
+  )
+  ```
+
+- Open loop (used in replay): sets `initial_guess_current_joints=False` so IK continues from the previous IK solution rather than the measured state. This preserves action stability when we replay without feedback.
+
+  ```python
+  InverseKinematicsEEToJoints(
+      kinematics=kinematics_solver,
+      motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()),
+      initial_guess_current_joints=False,  # open loop
+  )
+  ```
+
+### Pipeline steps explained
+
+- MapPhoneActionToRobotAction: converts calibrated phone pose and inputs into target deltas and a gripper command. Motion is gated by an enable signal (B1 on iOS, Move on Android).
+- EEReferenceAndDelta: latches a reference EE pose on enable and combines it with target deltas to produce an absolute desired EE pose each frame. When disabled, it keeps sending the last commanded pose.
+- EEBoundsAndSafety: clamps the EE pose to a workspace and rate‑limits jumps for safety. Also declares `action.ee.*` features.
+- InverseKinematicsEEToJoints: turns an EE pose into joint positions with IK. `initial_guess_current_joints=True` is recommended for closed‑loop control; set `False` for open‑loop replay for stability.
+- GripperVelocityToJoint: integrates a velocity‑like gripper input into an absolute gripper position using the current measured state.
+- ForwardKinematicsJointsToEE: computes `observation.state.ee.*` from observed joints for logging and training on EE state.
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+- iOS not discovered: ensure HEBI Mobile I/O is open and your laptop/phone are on the same network.
+- Android URL not reachable: check local you used `https` instead of `http`, use the exact IP printed by the script and allow your browser to enter and ignore the certificate issue.
+- Motion feels inverted: adjust the sign flips in `MapPhoneActionToRobotAction` or swap axes to match your setup.

+# π₀ (Pi0)
+
+π₀ is a **Vision-Language-Action model for general robot control**, from Physical Intelligence. The LeRobot implementation is adapted from their open source [OpenPI](https://github.com/Physical-Intelligence/openpi) repository.
+
+## Model Overview
+
+π₀ represents a breakthrough in robotics as the first general-purpose robot foundation model developed by [Physical Intelligence](https://www.physicalintelligence.company/blog/pi0). Unlike traditional robot programs that are narrow specialists programmed for repetitive motions, π₀ is designed to be a generalist policy that can understand visual inputs, interpret natural language instructions, and control a variety of different robots across diverse tasks.
+
+<img
+  src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/lerobot/lerobot-pi0%20(1).png"
+  alt="An overview of Pi0"
+  width="85%"
+/>
+
+### The Vision for Physical Intelligence
+
+As described by Physical Intelligence, while AI has achieved remarkable success in digital domains, from chess-playing to drug discovery, human intelligence still dramatically outpaces AI in the physical world. To paraphrase Moravec's paradox, winning a game of chess represents an "easy" problem for AI, but folding a shirt or cleaning up a table requires solving some of the most difficult engineering problems ever conceived. π₀ represents a first step toward developing artificial physical intelligence that enables users to simply ask robots to perform any task they want, just like they can with large language models.
+
+### Architecture and Approach
+
+π₀ combines several key innovations:
+
+- **Flow Matching**: Uses a novel method to augment pre-trained VLMs with continuous action outputs via flow matching (a variant of diffusion models)
+- **Cross-Embodiment Training**: Trained on data from 8 distinct robot platforms including UR5e, Bimanual UR5e, Franka, Bimanual Trossen, Bimanual ARX, Mobile Trossen, and Mobile Fibocom
+- **Internet-Scale Pre-training**: Inherits semantic knowledge from a pre-trained 3B parameter Vision-Language Model
+- **High-Frequency Control**: Outputs motor commands at up to 50 Hz for real-time dexterous manipulation
+
+## Installation Requirements
+
+1. Install LeRobot by following our [Installation Guide](./installation).
+2. Install Pi0 dependencies by running:
+
+   ```bash
+   pip install -e ".[pi]"
+   ```
+
+## Training Data and Capabilities
+
+π₀ is trained on the largest robot interaction dataset to date, combining three key data sources:
+
+1. **Internet-Scale Pre-training**: Vision-language data from the web for semantic understanding
+2. **Open X-Embodiment Dataset**: Open-source robot manipulation datasets
+3. **Physical Intelligence Dataset**: Large and diverse dataset of dexterous tasks across 8 distinct robots
+
+## Usage
+
+To use π₀ in LeRobot, specify the policy type as:
+
+```python
+policy.type=pi0
+```
+
+## Training
+
+For training π₀, you can use the standard LeRobot training script with the appropriate configuration:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --dataset.repo_id=your_dataset \
+    --policy.type=pi0 \
+    --output_dir=./outputs/pi0_training \
+    --job_name=pi0_training \
+    --policy.pretrained_path=lerobot/pi0_base \
+    --policy.repo_id=your_repo_id \
+    --policy.compile_model=true \
+    --policy.gradient_checkpointing=true \
+    --policy.dtype=bfloat16 \
+    --policy.freeze_vision_encoder=false \
+    --policy.train_expert_only=false \
+    --steps=3000 \
+    --policy.device=cuda \
+    --batch_size=32
+```
+
+### Key Training Parameters
+
+- **`--policy.compile_model=true`**: Enables model compilation for faster training
+- **`--policy.gradient_checkpointing=true`**: Reduces memory usage significantly during training
+- **`--policy.dtype=bfloat16`**: Use mixed precision training for efficiency
+- **`--batch_size=32`**: Batch size for training, adapt this based on your GPU memory
+- **`--policy.pretrained_path=lerobot/pi0_base`**: The base π₀ model you want to finetune, options are:
+  - [lerobot/pi0_base](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/pi0_base)
+  - [lerobot/pi0_libero](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/pi0_libero) (specifically trained on the Libero dataset)
+
+### Training Parameters Explained
+
+| Parameter               | Default | Description                                 |
+| ----------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------- |
+| `freeze_vision_encoder` | `false` | Do not freeze the vision encoder            |
+| `train_expert_only`     | `false` | Do not freeze the VLM, train all parameters |
+
+**💡 Tip**: Setting `train_expert_only=true` freezes the VLM and trains only the action expert and projections, allowing finetuning with reduced memory usage.
+
+## Relative Actions
+
+By default, π₀ predicts absolute actions. You can enable **relative actions** so the model predicts offsets relative to the current robot state. This can improve training stability for certain setups.
+
+To use relative actions, first recompute your dataset stats in relative space via the CLI:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id your_dataset \
+    --operation.type recompute_stats \
+    --operation.relative_action true \
+    --operation.chunk_size 50 \
+    --operation.relative_exclude_joints "['gripper']" \
+    --push_to_hub true
+```
+
+Or equivalently in Python:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.datasets import LeRobotDataset, recompute_stats
+
+dataset = LeRobotDataset("your_dataset")
+recompute_stats(dataset, relative_action=True, chunk_size=50, relative_exclude_joints=["gripper"])
+dataset.push_to_hub()
+```
+
+The `chunk_size` should match your policy's `chunk_size` (default 50 for π₀). `relative_exclude_joints` lists joint names that should remain in absolute space (e.g. gripper commands). Use `--push_to_hub true` to upload the updated stats to the Hub.
+
+Then train with relative actions enabled:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --dataset.repo_id=your_dataset \
+    --policy.type=pi0 \
+    --policy.use_relative_actions=true \
+    --policy.relative_exclude_joints='["gripper"]' \
+    ...
+```

+# π₀.₅ (Pi05) Policy
+
+π₀.₅ is a **Vision-Language-Action model with open-world generalization**, from Physical Intelligence. The LeRobot implementation is adapted from their open source [OpenPI](https://github.com/Physical-Intelligence/openpi) repository.
+
+## Model Overview
+
+π₀.₅ represents a significant evolution from π₀, developed by [Physical Intelligence](https://www.physicalintelligence.company/blog/pi05) to address a big challenge in robotics: **open-world generalization**. While robots can perform impressive tasks in controlled environments, π₀.₅ is designed to generalize to entirely new environments and situations that were never seen during training.
+
+### The Generalization Challenge
+
+As Physical Intelligence explains, the fundamental challenge isn't performing tasks of agility or dexterity, but generalization, the ability to correctly perform tasks in new settings with new objects. Consider a robot cleaning different homes: each home has different objects in different places. Generalization must occur at multiple levels:
+
+- **Physical Level**: Understanding how to pick up a spoon (by the handle) or plate (by the edge), even with unseen objects in cluttered environments
+- **Semantic Level**: Understanding task semantics, where to put clothes and shoes (laundry hamper, not on the bed), and what tools are appropriate for cleaning spills
+- **Environmental Level**: Adapting to "messy" real-world environments like homes, grocery stores, offices, and hospitals
+
+### Co-Training on Heterogeneous Data
+
+The breakthrough innovation in π₀.₅ is **co-training on heterogeneous data sources**. The model learns from:
+
+1. **Multimodal Web Data**: Image captioning, visual question answering, object detection
+2. **Verbal Instructions**: Humans coaching robots through complex tasks step-by-step
+3. **Subtask Commands**: High-level semantic behavior labels (e.g., "pick up the pillow" for an unmade bed)
+4. **Cross-Embodiment Robot Data**: Data from various robot platforms with different capabilities
+5. **Multi-Environment Data**: Static robots deployed across many different homes
+6. **Mobile Manipulation Data**: ~400 hours of mobile robot demonstrations
+
+This diverse training mixture creates a "curriculum" that enables generalization across physical, visual, and semantic levels simultaneously.
+
+## Installation Requirements
+
+1. Install LeRobot by following our [Installation Guide](./installation).
+2. Install Pi0.5 dependencies by running:
+
+   ```bash
+   pip install -e ".[pi]"
+   ```
+
+## Usage
+
+To use π₀.₅ in your LeRobot configuration, specify the policy type as:
+
+```python
+policy.type=pi05
+```
+
+## Training
+
+### Training Command Example
+
+Here's a complete training command for finetuning the base π₀.₅ model on your own dataset:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --dataset.repo_id=your_dataset \
+    --policy.type=pi05 \

+    --batch_size=32
+```
+
+### Key Training Parameters
+
+- **`--policy.compile_model=true`**: Enables model compilation for faster training
+- **`--policy.gradient_checkpointing=true`**: Reduces memory usage significantly during training
+- **`--policy.dtype=bfloat16`**: Use mixed precision training for efficiency
+- **`--batch_size=32`**: Batch size for training, adapt this based on your GPU memory
+- **`--policy.pretrained_path=lerobot/pi05_base`**: The base π₀.₅ model you want to finetune, options are:
+  - [lerobot/pi05_base](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/pi05_base)
+  - [lerobot/pi05_libero](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/pi05_libero) (specifically trained on the Libero dataset)
+
+### Training Parameters Explained
+
+| Parameter               | Default | Description                                 |
+| ----------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------- |
+| `freeze_vision_encoder` | `false` | Do not freeze the vision encoder            |
+| `train_expert_only`     | `false` | Do not freeze the VLM, train all parameters |
+
+**💡 Tip**: Setting `train_expert_only=true` freezes the VLM and trains only the action expert and projections, allowing finetuning with reduced memory usage.
+
+If your dataset is not converted with `quantiles`, you can convert it with the following command:
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/scripts/augment_dataset_quantile_stats.py \
+    --repo-id=your_dataset \
+```
+
+Or train pi05 with this normalization mapping: `--policy.normalization_mapping='{"ACTION": "MEAN_STD", "STATE": "MEAN_STD", "VISUAL": "IDENTITY"}'`
+
+## Relative Actions
+
+By default, π₀.₅ predicts absolute actions. You can enable **relative actions** so the model predicts offsets relative to the current robot state. This can improve training stability for certain setups.
+
+To use relative actions, first recompute your dataset stats in relative space via the CLI:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id your_dataset \
+    --operation.type recompute_stats \
+    --operation.relative_action true \
+    --operation.chunk_size 50 \
+    --operation.relative_exclude_joints "['gripper']" \
+    --push_to_hub true
+```
+
+Or equivalently in Python:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.datasets import LeRobotDataset, recompute_stats
+
+dataset = LeRobotDataset("your_dataset")
+recompute_stats(dataset, relative_action=True, chunk_size=50, relative_exclude_joints=["gripper"])
+dataset.push_to_hub()
+```
+
+The `chunk_size` should match your policy's `chunk_size` (default 50 for π₀.₅). `relative_exclude_joints` lists joint names that should remain in absolute space (e.g. gripper commands). Use `--push_to_hub true` to upload the updated stats to the Hub.
+
+Then train with relative actions enabled:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --dataset.repo_id=your_dataset \
+    --policy.type=pi05 \
+    --policy.use_relative_actions=true \
+    --policy.relative_exclude_joints='["gripper"]' \
+    ...
+```
+
+## Performance Results
+
+### Libero Benchmark Results
+
+π₀.₅ has demonstrated strong performance on the Libero benchmark suite. To compare and test its LeRobot implementation, we finetuned the libero base model for an additional 6k steps on the Libero dataset and compared the results to the OpenPI reference results.
+
+| Benchmark          | LeRobot Implementation | OpenPI Reference |
+| ------------------ | ---------------------- | ---------------- |
+| **Libero Spatial** | 97.0%                  | 98.8%            |
+| **Libero Object**  | 99.0%                  | 98.2%            |
+| **Libero Goal**    | 98.0%                  | 98.0%            |
+| **Libero 10**      | 96.0%                  | 92.4%            |
+| **Average**        | 97.5%                  | 96.85%           |
+
+These results demonstrate π₀.₅'s strong generalization capabilities across diverse robotic manipulation tasks. To reproduce these results, you can follow the instructions in the [Libero](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/libero) section.

+# π₀-FAST (Pi0-FAST)
+
+π₀-FAST is a **Vision-Language-Action model for general robot control** that uses autoregressive next-token prediction to model continuous robot actions.
+
+## Model Overview
+
+π₀-FAST combines the power of Vision-Language Models with a novel action tokenization approach called **FAST (Frequency-space Action Sequence Tokenization)**. This enables training autoregressive VLAs on highly dexterous tasks that are impossible with standard binning-based discretization, while training **up to 5x faster** than diffusion-based approaches like π₀.
+
+<img
+  src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/lerobot/lerobot-pifast.png"
+  alt="An overview of Pi0-FAST"
+  width="85%"
+/>
+
+### Why FAST?
+
+Standard approaches for robot action tokenization use simple per-dimension, per-timestep binning schemes. While passable for simple behaviors, this rapidly breaks down for complex and dexterous skills that require precision and high-frequency control.
+
+FAST solves this by compressing action sequences using signal processing techniques, resulting in a dense sequence of action tokens that can be predicted autoregressively—just like language tokens.
+
+### How FAST Tokenization Works
+
+The FAST tokenizer compresses action sequences through the following steps:
+
+1. **Normalize**: Take a continuous action chunk of shape `(H, D)` where `H` is the horizon and `D` is the action dimension. Normalize using one of the supported normalization methods (Quantiles recommended to handle outliers).
+
+2. **Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT)**: Apply DCT (via scipy) to each action dimension separately. DCT is a compression algorithm commonly used in image and audio codecs (JPEG, MP3).
+
+3. **Quantization**: Round and remove insignificant coefficients for each action dimension, producing a sparse frequency matrix.
+
+4. **Flatten**: Flatten the matrix into a 1D vector, with low-frequency components first.
+
+5. **Byte Pair Encoding (BPE)**: Train a BPE tokenizer to compress the DCT coefficients into dense action tokens, typically achieving **10x compression** over prior tokenization approaches.
+
+This approach can transform **any existing VLM** into a VLA by training it to predict these FAST tokens.
+
+## Installation Requirements
+
+1. Install LeRobot by following our [Installation Guide](./installation).
+2. Install π₀-FAST dependencies by running:
+
+   ```bash
+   pip install -e ".[pi]"
+   ```
+
+## Training a Custom FAST Tokenizer
+
+You have two options for the FAST tokenizer:
+
+1. **Use the pre-trained tokenizer**: The `lerobot/fast-action-tokenizer` tokenizer was trained on 1M+ real robot action sequences and works as a general-purpose tokenizer.
+
+2. **Train your own tokenizer**: For maximum performance on your specific dataset, you can finetune the tokenizer on your own data.
+
+### Training Your Own Tokenizer
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train-tokenizer \
+    --repo_id "user/my-lerobot-dataset" \
+    --action_horizon 10 \
+    --encoded_dims "0:6" \
+    --vocab_size 1024 \

+
+## Inference
+
+### KV-Caching for Fast Inference
+
+π₀-FAST supports **KV-caching**, a widely used optimization in LLM inference. This caches the key-value pairs from the attention mechanism, avoiding redundant computation during autoregressive decoding.
+
+```python
+# KV-caching is enabled by default
+policy.use_kv_cache=true
+```
+
+### Inference Example
+
+```python
+from lerobot.policies.pi0_fast import PI0FastPolicy, PI0FastConfig
+
+# Load the policy
+policy = PI0FastPolicy.from_pretrained("your-model-path")
+
+# During inference
+actions = policy.predict_action_chunk(batch)
+```
+
+## Model Architecture
+
+π₀-FAST uses a PaliGemma-based architecture:
+
+- **Vision Encoder**: SigLIP vision tower for image understanding
+- **Language Model**: Gemma 2B for processing language instructions and predicting action tokens
+
+The model takes images, text instructions, and robot state as input, and outputs discrete FAST tokens that are decoded back to continuous actions.
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+| Parameter            | Description                                     | Default    |

+| `max_action_dim`     | Maximum action vector dimension (padded)        | `32`       |
+| `temperature`        | Sampling temperature (0.0 for greedy)           | `0.0`      |

+
+## Reproducing π₀Fast results
+
+We reproduce the results of π₀Fast on the LIBERO benchmark using the LeRobot implementation. We take the LeRobot PiFast base model [lerobot/pi0fast-base](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/pi0fast-base) and finetune for an additional 40kk steps in bfloat16, with batch size of 256 on 8 H100 GPUs using the [HuggingFace LIBERO dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceVLA/libero).
+
+The finetuned model can be found here:
+
+- **π₀Fast LIBERO**: [lerobot/pi0fast-libero](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/pi0fast-libero)
+
+With the following training command:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/libero \
+  --output_dir=outputs/libero_pi0fast \
+  --job_name=libero_pi0fast \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/pi0fast-base \
+  --policy.dtype=bfloat16 \
+  --steps=100000 \
+  --save_freq=20000 \
+  --batch_size=4 \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --policy.scheduler_warmup_steps=4000 \
+  --policy.scheduler_decay_steps=100000 \
+  --policy.scheduler_decay_lr=1e-5 \
+  --policy.gradient_checkpointing=true \
+  --policy.chunk_size=10 \
+  --policy.n_action_steps=10 \
+  --policy.max_action_tokens=256 \
+  --policy.empty_cameras=1 \
+```
+
+We then evaluate the finetuned model using the LeRobot LIBERO implementation, by running the following command:
+
+```bash
+tasks="libero_object,libero_spatial,libero_goal,libero_10"
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/pi0fast-libero \
+  --policy.max_action_tokens=256 \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  --policy.gradient_checkpointing=false \
+  --env.task=${tasks} \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=1 \
+  --rename_map='{"observation.images.image":"observation.images.base_0_rgb","observation.images.image2":"observation.images.left_wrist_0_rgb"}'
+```
+
+**Note:** We set `n_action_steps=10`, similar to the original OpenPI implementation.
+
+### Results
+
+We obtain the following results on the LIBERO benchmark:
+
+| Model       | LIBERO Spatial | LIBERO Object | LIBERO Goal | LIBERO 10 | Average  |
+| ----------- | -------------- | ------------- | ----------- | --------- | -------- |
+| **π₀-fast** | 70.0           | 100.0         | 100.0       | 60.0      | **82.5** |

+
+## Original-vs-LeRobot parity test
+
+`tests/policies/groot/test_groot_vs_original.py` verifies this LeRobot
+reimplementation of GR00T N1.7 (Qwen3-VL backbone + flow-matching action head)
+against NVIDIA's original `gr00t` package with two comparisons, each parametrized
+over every embodiment tag present in the checkpoint:
+
+1. **Model parity** — given byte-identical pre-processed inputs and the same
+   flow-matching seed (recorded in each artifact), both implementations must produce
+   the **same raw model output** (`get_action(...)["action_pred"]`, the normalized
+   flow-matching prediction). Output shapes must match exactly; any action-horizon
+   or action-dim mismatch fails the test.
+2. **Preprocessor parity** — given the identical raw observations (per-camera
+   frames, state vectors, language instruction), LeRobot's own preprocessor pipeline
+   (real Qwen3-VL chat template / tokenizer / image packing + checkpoint-driven
+   state normalization, no mocks) must produce the **same collated model inputs**
+   (`input_ids`, `attention_mask`, `pixel_values`, `image_grid_thw`, `state`,
+   `embodiment_id`) as the original package's processor.
+
+### Why two environments
+
+The original `gr00t` package pins `transformers==4.57.3` (Python 3.10); this
+integration requires `transformers>=5.x` (Qwen3-VL). Under 5.x, `PretrainedConfig`
+is itself a defaulted dataclass, so the original config dataclasses fail to import
+(`non-default argument follows default argument`). The two implementations therefore
+**cannot be imported in the same Python process**.
+
+So the test uses a **producer / consumer** split across two venvs:
+
+1. **Producer** — `tests/policies/groot/utils/dump_original_n1_7.py`, run in the _original_
+   gr00t venv. For each embodiment it builds dummy inputs generically from the
+   checkpoint metadata (state dims from `statistics.json`; camera/language keys from
+   the processor modality configs), runs the original model, and saves to one `.npz`
+   per tag: the raw observations (`raw::` keys), the exact collated inputs
+   (`in::` keys), the seed, and the raw `action_pred`.
+2. **Consumer** — the pytest above, run in the _LeRobot_ venv. It discovers every
+   `.npz`; the model-parity case replays the byte-identical collated inputs through
+   the LeRobot model with the recorded seed and asserts the outputs match, and the
+   preprocessor-parity case replays the raw observations through LeRobot's full
+   preprocessor pipeline and asserts the collated tensors match.
+
+> Artifacts generated by older versions of the dump script contain no `raw::`
+> fields; the preprocessor-parity case then **skips** with a regeneration hint.
+> Re-run the producer to refresh them.
+
+### Fairness controls
+
+- **Same pre-processed inputs (model parity)** — the original processor's `input_ids`,
+  `pixel_values`, `image_grid_thw`, `attention_mask`, `state`, `embodiment_id` are
+  fed verbatim to the LeRobot model (no re-tokenization / re-normalization), so the
+  model comparison isolates the model. LeRobot's own tokenization / image packing is
+  covered separately by the preprocessor-parity case, which compares its output
+  against those same collated tensors from identical raw observations.
+- **Same precision + attention kernel** — both sides run **fp32 + SDPA**. The
+  original defaults to `use_flash_attention=True` (flash_attention_2 + bf16); the
+  producer forces SDPA + fp32. (With the defaults the gap is ~3e-2 — pure
+  kernel/rounding noise, not an implementation difference.)
+- **Same flow-matching seed** — fixed right before sampling on both sides; the
+  producer records it in each artifact (`--seed`, default 42) and the consumer
+  replays the recorded value.
+
+### How to run
+
+```bash
+# Resolve a local checkpoint (GR00T-N1.7-LIBERO / libero_10)
+CKPT=$(python - <<'PY'
+import os
+from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
+print(os.path.join(snapshot_download("nvidia/GR00T-N1.7-LIBERO",
+      allow_patterns=["libero_10/*"]), "libero_10"))
+PY
+)
+
+# 1) Produce the original-side artifacts for all embodiments (original gr00t venv, CUDA)
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 /path/to/Isaac-GR00T/.venv-original/bin/python \
+    tests/policies/groot/utils/dump_original_n1_7.py \
+    --ckpt "$CKPT" --out-dir tests/policies/groot/artifacts --device cuda --seed 42
+
+# 2) Run the parity test (LeRobot venv) — one parametrized case per embodiment
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 GROOT_PARITY_DEVICE=cuda \
+    uv run pytest tests/policies/groot/test_groot_vs_original.py -v -s
+```
+
+The `.npz` artifacts are local-only (gitignored, ~6–10 MB each) and are regenerated by
+the producer; they are never committed. The tests **skip** (do not fail) on CI or
+when the checkpoint / artifacts are absent.

+# MolmoAct2
+
+This repository contains the LeRobot policy implementation of
+[MolmoAct2](https://allenai.org/blog/molmoact2), ported into LeRobot for
+training, evaluation, checkpointing, and dataset compatibility.
+
+This implementation currently supports training and evaluation for the regular
+MolmoAct2 model. MolmoAct2-Think, which supports adaptive depth reasoning, is
+not included in this LeRobot policy yet and is coming soon.
+
+For the original MolmoAct2 training code used for the experiments reported in
+the paper, see [allenai/molmoact2](https://github.com/allenai/molmoact2).
+
+## LIBERO Evaluation
+
+Important: we found that `num_steps_wait=10` does not reliably let the LIBERO
+scene stabilize and can degrade measured success. All LIBERO evaluation results
+reported for this LeRobot implementation use `num_steps_wait=50`.

+# π₀.₅ (pi05)
+
+This repository contains the Hugging Face port of **π₀.₅**, adapted from [OpenPI](https://github.com/Physical-Intelligence/openpi) by the Physical Intelligence.
+It is designed as a **Vision-Language-Action model with open-world generalization**.
+

+
+## Model Overview
+
+| Feature              | π₀                                                     | π₀.₅                                      |
+| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
+| Time Conditioning    | Concatenates time with actions via `action_time_mlp_*` | Uses `time_mlp_*` for AdaRMS conditioning |
+| AdaRMS               | Not used                                               | Used in action expert                     |
+| Tokenizer Length     | 48 tokens                                              | 200 tokens                                |
+| Discrete State Input | False (Uses `state_proj` layer)                        | True                                      |
+| Parameter Count      | Higher (includes state embedding)                      | Lower (no state embedding)                |
+
+---
+
+## Relative Actions
+
+π₀.₅ supports training with **relative actions**, where the model learns relative offsets
+from the current robot state instead of absolute joint positions. This mirrors the
+relative-action transform in OpenPI (`DeltaActions`) and can improve performance.
+
+### How it works
+
+1. **During preprocessing**, absolute actions are converted to relative offsets:
+   `relative = action - state` (for selected joints).
+2. The relative actions are normalized using statistics computed from the relative distribution.
+3. **During postprocessing**, predicted relative actions are converted back to absolute:
+   `absolute = relative + state`.
+
+Joints listed in `relative_exclude_joints` (e.g., gripper) are kept absolute.
+
+### Configuration
+
+| Parameter                 | Type        | Default       | Description                                                      |
+| ------------------------- | ----------- | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `use_relative_actions`    | `bool`      | `False`       | Enable relative-action training                                  |
+| `relative_exclude_joints` | `list[str]` | `["gripper"]` | Joint names to keep absolute (matched by substring)              |
+| `action_feature_names`    | `list[str]` | `None`        | Auto-populated from dataset metadata at runtime by `make_policy` |
+
+### Training example
+
+```bash
+python -m lerobot.scripts.lerobot_train \
+  --policy.type=pi05 \
+  --dataset.repo_id=your_org/your_dataset \
+  --policy.use_relative_actions=true \
+  --policy.relative_exclude_joints='["gripper"]'
+```
+
+When `use_relative_actions=true`, the training script automatically:
+
+- Computes relative action statistics from the dataset (sampled chunk-level relative actions)
+- Replaces the standard action stats with relative stats for normalization
+- Broadcasts these stats across all ranks in distributed training

+# Porting Large Datasets to LeRobot Dataset v3.0
+
+This tutorial explains how to port large-scale robotic datasets to the LeRobot Dataset v3.0 format. We'll use the **DROID 1.0.1** dataset as our primary example, which demonstrates handling multi-terabyte datasets with thousands of shards across SLURM clusters.
+
+## File Organization: v2.1 vs v3.0
+
+Dataset v3.0 fundamentally changes how data is organized and stored:
+
+**v2.1 Structure (Episode-based)**:
+
+```
+dataset/
+├── data/chunk-000/episode_000000.parquet
+├── data/chunk-000/episode_000001.parquet
+├── videos/chunk-000/camera/episode_000000.mp4
+└── meta/episodes.jsonl
+```
+
+**v3.0 Structure (File-based)**:
+
+```
+dataset/
+├── data/chunk-000/file-000.parquet        # Multiple episodes per file
+├── videos/camera/chunk-000/file-000.mp4   # Consolidated video chunks
+└── meta/episodes/chunk-000/file-000.parquet  # Structured metadata
+```
+
+This transition from individual episode files to file-based chunks dramatically improves performance and reduces storage overhead.
+
+## What's New in Dataset v3.0
+
+Dataset v3.0 introduces significant improvements for handling large datasets:
+
+### 🏗️ **Enhanced File Organization**
+
+- **File-based structure**: Episodes are now grouped into chunked files rather than individual episode files
+- **Configurable file sizes**: for data and video files
+- **Improved storage efficiency**: Better compression and reduced overhead
+
+### 📊 **Modern Metadata Management**
+
+- **Parquet-based metadata**: Replaced JSON Lines with efficient parquet format
+- **Structured episode access**: Direct pandas DataFrame access via `dataset.meta.episodes`
+- **Per-episode statistics**: Enhanced statistics tracking at episode level
+
+### 🚀 **Performance Enhancements**
+
+- **Memory-mapped access**: Improved RAM usage through PyArrow memory mapping
+- **Faster loading**: Significantly reduced dataset initialization time
+- **Better scalability**: Designed for datasets with millions of episodes
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before porting large datasets, ensure you have:
+
+- **LeRobot installed** with v3.0 support. Follow our [Installation Guide](./installation).
+- **Sufficient storage**: Raw datasets can be very large (e.g., DROID requires 2TB)
+- **Cluster access** (recommended for large datasets): SLURM or similar job scheduler
+- **Dataset-specific dependencies**: For DROID, you'll need TensorFlow Dataset utilities
+
+## Understanding the DROID Dataset
+
+[DROID 1.0.1](https://droid-dataset.github.io/droid/the-droid-dataset) is an excellent example of a large-scale robotic dataset:
+
+- **Size**: 1.7TB (RLDS format), 8.7TB (raw data)
+- **Structure**: 2048 pre-defined TensorFlow dataset shards
+- **Content**: 76,000+ robot manipulation trajectories from Franka Emika Panda robots
+- **Scope**: Real-world manipulation tasks across multiple environments and objects
+- **Format**: Originally in TensorFlow Records/RLDS format, requiring conversion to LeRobot format
+- **Hosting**: Google Cloud Storage with public access via `gsutil`
+
+The dataset contains diverse manipulation demonstrations with:
+
+- Multiple camera views (wrist camera, exterior cameras)
+- Natural language task descriptions
+- Robot proprioceptive state and actions
+- Success/failure annotations
+
+### DROID Features Schema
+
+```python
+DROID_FEATURES = {
+    # Episode markers
+    "is_first": {"dtype": "bool", "shape": (1,)},
+    "is_last": {"dtype": "bool", "shape": (1,)},
+    "is_terminal": {"dtype": "bool", "shape": (1,)},
+
+    # Language instructions
+    "language_instruction": {"dtype": "string", "shape": (1,)},
+    "language_instruction_2": {"dtype": "string", "shape": (1,)},
+    "language_instruction_3": {"dtype": "string", "shape": (1,)},
+
+    # Robot state
+    "observation.state.gripper_position": {"dtype": "float32", "shape": (1,)},
+    "observation.state.cartesian_position": {"dtype": "float32", "shape": (6,)},
+    "observation.state.joint_position": {"dtype": "float32", "shape": (7,)},
+
+    # Camera observations
+    "observation.images.wrist_left": {"dtype": "image"},
+    "observation.images.exterior_1_left": {"dtype": "image"},
+    "observation.images.exterior_2_left": {"dtype": "image"},
+
+    # Actions
+    "action.gripper_position": {"dtype": "float32", "shape": (1,)},
+    "action.cartesian_position": {"dtype": "float32", "shape": (6,)},
+    "action.joint_position": {"dtype": "float32", "shape": (7,)},
+
+    # Standard LeRobot format
+    "observation.state": {"dtype": "float32", "shape": (8,)},  # joints + gripper
+    "action": {"dtype": "float32", "shape": (8,)},  # joints + gripper
+}
+```
+
+## Approach 1: Single Computer Porting
+
+### Step 1: Install Dependencies
+
+For DROID specifically:
+
+```bash
+pip install tensorflow
+pip install tensorflow_datasets
+```
+
+For other datasets, install the appropriate readers for your source format.
+
+### Step 2: Download Raw Data
+
+Download DROID from Google Cloud Storage using `gsutil`:
+
+```bash
+# Install Google Cloud SDK if not already installed
+# https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install
+
+# Download the full RLDS dataset (1.7TB)
+gsutil -m cp -r gs://gresearch/robotics/droid/1.0.1 /your/data/
+
+# Or download just the 100-episode sample (2GB) for testing
+gsutil -m cp -r gs://gresearch/robotics/droid_100 /your/data/
+```
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Large datasets require substantial time and storage:
+>
+> - **Full DROID (1.7TB)**: Several days to download depending on bandwidth
+> - **Processing time**: 7+ days for local porting of full dataset
+> - **Upload time**: 3+ days to push to Hugging Face Hub
+> - **Local storage**: ~400GB for processed LeRobot format
+
+### Step 3: Port the Dataset
+
+```bash
+python examples/port_datasets/port_droid.py \
+    --raw-dir /your/data/droid/1.0.1 \
+    --repo-id your_id/droid_1.0.1 \
+    --push-to-hub
+```
+
+### Development and Testing
+
+For development, you can port a single shard:
+
+```bash
+python examples/port_datasets/port_droid.py \
+    --raw-dir /your/data/droid/1.0.1 \
+    --repo-id your_id/droid_1.0.1_test \
+    --num-shards 2048 \
+    --shard-index 0
+```
+
+This approach works for smaller datasets or testing, but large datasets require cluster computing.
+
+## Approach 2: SLURM Cluster Porting (Recommended)
+
+For large datasets like DROID, parallel processing across multiple nodes dramatically reduces processing time.
+
+### Step 1: Install Cluster Dependencies
+
+```bash
+pip install datatrove  # Hugging Face's distributed processing library
+```
+
+### Step 2: Configure Your SLURM Environment
+
+Find your partition information:
+
+```bash
+sinfo --format="%R"  # List available partitions
+sinfo -N -p your_partition -h -o "%N cpus=%c mem=%m"  # Check resources
+```
+
+Choose a **CPU partition** - no GPU needed for dataset porting.
+
+### Step 3: Launch Parallel Porting Jobs
+
+```bash
+python examples/port_datasets/slurm_port_shards.py \
+    --raw-dir /your/data/droid/1.0.1 \
+    --repo-id your_id/droid_1.0.1 \
+    --logs-dir /your/logs \
+    --job-name port_droid \
+    --partition your_partition \
+    --workers 2048 \
+    --cpus-per-task 8 \
+    --mem-per-cpu 1950M
+```
+
+#### Parameter Guidelines
+
+- **`--workers`**: Number of parallel jobs (max 2048 for DROID's shard count)
+- **`--cpus-per-task`**: 8 CPUs recommended for frame encoding parallelization
+- **`--mem-per-cpu`**: ~16GB total RAM (8×1950M) for loading raw frames
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Start with fewer workers (e.g., 100) to test your cluster configuration before launching thousands of jobs.
+
+### Step 4: Monitor Progress
+
+Check running jobs:
+
+```bash
+squeue -u $USER
+```
+
+Monitor overall progress:
+
+```bash
+jobs_status /your/logs
+```
+
+Inspect individual job logs:
+
+```bash
+less /your/logs/port_droid/slurm_jobs/JOB_ID_WORKER_ID.out
+```
+
+Debug failed jobs:
+
+```bash
+failed_logs /your/logs/port_droid
+```
+
+### Step 5: Aggregate Shards
+
+Once all porting jobs complete:
+
+```bash
+python examples/port_datasets/slurm_aggregate_shards.py \
+    --repo-id your_id/droid_1.0.1 \
+    --logs-dir /your/logs \
+    --job-name aggr_droid \
+    --partition your_partition \
+    --workers 2048 \
+    --cpus-per-task 8 \
+    --mem-per-cpu 1950M
+```
+
+### Step 6: Upload to Hub
+
+```bash
+python examples/port_datasets/slurm_upload.py \
+    --repo-id your_id/droid_1.0.1 \
+    --logs-dir /your/logs \
+    --job-name upload_droid \
+    --partition your_partition \
+    --workers 50 \
+    --cpus-per-task 4 \
+    --mem-per-cpu 1950M
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Upload uses fewer workers (50) since it's network-bound rather than compute-bound.
+
+## Dataset v3.0 File Structure
+
+Your completed dataset will have this modern structure:
+
+```
+dataset/
+├── meta/
+│   ├── episodes/
+│   │   └── chunk-000/
+│   │       └── file-000.parquet    # Episode metadata
+│   ├── tasks.parquet               # Task definitions
+│   ├── stats.json                  # Aggregated statistics
+│   └── info.json                   # Dataset information
+├── data/
+│   └── chunk-000/
+│       └── file-000.parquet        # Consolidated episode data
+└── videos/
+    └── camera_key/
+        └── chunk-000/
+            └── file-000.mp4        # Consolidated video files
+```
+
+This replaces the old episode-per-file structure with efficient, optimally-sized chunks.
+
+## Migrating from Dataset v2.1
+
+If you have existing datasets in v2.1 format, use the migration tool:
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/scripts/convert_dataset_v21_to_v30.py \
+    --repo-id your_id/existing_dataset
+```
+
+This automatically:
+
+- Converts file structure to v3.0 format
+- Migrates metadata from JSON Lines to parquet
+- Aggregates statistics and creates per-episode stats
+- Updates version information
+
+## Performance Benefits
+
+Dataset v3.0 provides significant improvements for large datasets:
+
+- **Faster loading**: 3-5x reduction in initialization time
+- **Memory efficiency**: Better RAM usage through memory mapping
+- **Scalable processing**: Handles millions of episodes efficiently
+- **Storage optimization**: Reduced file count and improved compression

+# Processors for Robots and Teleoperators
+
+This guide shows how to build and modify processing pipelines that connect teleoperators (e.g., phone) to robots and datasets. Pipelines standardize conversions between different action/observation spaces so you can swap teleops and robots without rewriting glue code.
+
+We use the Phone to SO‑100 follower examples for concreteness, but the same patterns apply to other robots.
+
+**What you'll learn**
+
+- Absolute vs. relative EE control: What each means, trade‑offs, and how to choose for your task.
+- Three-pipeline pattern: How to map teleop actions → dataset actions → robot commands, and robot observations → dataset observations.
+- Adapters (`to_transition` / `to_output`): How these convert raw dicts to `EnvTransition` and back to reduce boilerplate.
+- Dataset feature contracts: How steps declare features via `transform_features(...)`, and how to aggregate/merge them for recording.
+- Choosing a representation: When to store joints, absolute EE poses, or relative EE deltas—and how that affects training.
+- Pipeline customization guidance: How to swap robots/URDFs safely and tune bounds, step sizes, and options like IK initialization.
+
+### Absolute vs relative EE control
+
+The examples in this guide use absolute end effector (EE) poses because they are easy to reason about. In practice, relative EE deltas or joint position are often preferred as learning features.
+
+With processors, you choose the learning features you want to use for your policy. This could be joints positions/velocities, absolute EE, or relative EE positions. You can also choose to store other features, such as joint torques, motor currents, etc.
+
+## Three pipelines
+
+We often compose three pipelines. Depending on your setup, some can be empty if action and observation spaces already match.
+Each of these pipelines handle different conversions between different action and observation spaces. Below is a quick explanation of each pipeline.
+
+1. Pipeline 1: Teleop action space → dataset action space (phone pose → EE targets)
+2. Pipeline 2: Dataset action space → robot command space (EE targets → joints)
+3. Pipeline 3: Robot observation space → dataset observation space (joints → EE pose)
+
+Below is an example of the three pipelines that we use in the phone to SO-100 follower examples:
+
+```python
+phone_to_robot_ee_pose_processor = RobotProcessorPipeline[RobotAction, RobotAction]( # teleop -> dataset action
+    steps=[
+        MapPhoneActionToRobotAction(platform=teleop_config.phone_os),
+        EEReferenceAndDelta(
+            kinematics=kinematics_solver, end_effector_step_sizes={"x": 0.5, "y": 0.5, "z": 0.5}, motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()),
+        ),
+        EEBoundsAndSafety(
+            end_effector_bounds={"min": [-1.0, -1.0, -1.0], "max": [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]}, max_ee_step_m=0.20,
+        ),
+        GripperVelocityToJoint(),
+    ],
+    to_transition=robot_action_to_transition,
+    to_output=transition_to_robot_action,
+)
+
+robot_ee_to_joints_processor = RobotProcessorPipeline[RobotAction, RobotAction]( # dataset action -> robot
+    steps=[
+        InverseKinematicsEEToJoints(
+            kinematics=kinematics_solver, motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()), initial_guess_current_joints=True,
+        ),
+    ],
+    to_transition=robot_action_to_transition,
+    to_output=transition_to_robot_action,
+)
+
+robot_joints_to_ee_pose = RobotProcessorPipeline[RobotObservation, RobotObservation]( # robot obs -> dataset obs
+    steps=[
+        ForwardKinematicsJointsToEE(kinematics=kinematics_solver, motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()))
+    ],
+    to_transition=observation_to_transition,
+    to_output=transition_to_observation,
+)
+```
+
+## Why to_transition / to_output
+
+To convert from robot/teleoperator to pipeline and back, we use the `to_transition` and `to_output` pipeline adapters.
+They standardize conversions to reduce boilerplate code, and form the bridge between the robot and teleoperators raw dictionaries and the pipeline’s `EnvTransition` format.
+In the phone to SO-100 follower examples we use the following adapters:
+
+- `robot_action_to_transition`: transforms the teleop action dict to a pipeline transition.
+- `transition_to_robot_action`: transforms the pipeline transition to a robot action dict.
+- `observation_to_transition`: transforms the robot observation dict to a pipeline transition.
+- `transition_to_observation`: transforms the pipeline transition to a observation dict.
+
+Checkout [src/lerobot/processor/converters.py](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/processor/converters.py) for more details.
+
+## Dataset feature contracts
+
+Dataset features are determined by the keys saved in the dataset. Each step can declare what features it modifies in a contract called `transform_features(...)`. Once you build a processor, the processor can then aggregate all of these features with `aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features()` and merge multiple feature dicts with `combine_feature_dicts(...)`.
+
+Below is and example of how we declare features with the `transform_features` method in the phone to SO-100 follower examples:
+
+```python
+    def transform_features(
+        self, features: dict[PipelineFeatureType, dict[str, PolicyFeature]]
+    ) -> dict[PipelineFeatureType, dict[str, PolicyFeature]]:
+        # We only use the ee pose in the dataset, so we don't need the joint positions
+        for n in self.motor_names:
+            features[PipelineFeatureType.ACTION].pop(f"{n}.pos", None)
+        # We specify the dataset features of this step that we want to be stored in the dataset
+        for k in ["x", "y", "z", "wx", "wy", "wz", "gripper_pos"]:
+            features[PipelineFeatureType.ACTION][f"ee.{k}"] = PolicyFeature(
+                type=FeatureType.STATE, shape=(1,)
+            )
+        return features
+```
+
+Here we declare what PolicyFeatures we modify in this step, so we know what features we can expect when we run the processor. These features can then be aggregated and used to create the dataset features.
+
+Below is an example of how we aggregate and merge features in the phone to SO-100 record example:
+
+```python
+features=combine_feature_dicts(
+        # Run the feature contract of the pipelines
+        # This tells you how the features would look like after the pipeline steps
+        aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features(
+            pipeline=phone_to_robot_ee_pose_processor,
+            initial_features=create_initial_features(action=phone.action_features), # <- Action features we can expect, these come from our teleop device (phone) and action processor
+            use_videos=True,
+        ),
+        aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features(
+            pipeline=robot_joints_to_ee_pose,
+            initial_features=create_initial_features(observation=robot.observation_features), # <- Observation features we can expect, these come from our robot and observation processor
+            use_videos=True,
+            patterns=["observation.state.ee"], # <- Here you could optionally filter the features we want to store in the dataset, with a specific pattern
+
+        ),
+    ),
+```
+
+How it works:
+
+- `aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features(...)`: applies `transform_features` across the pipeline and filters by patterns (images included when `use_videos=True`, and state features included when `patterns` is specified).
+- `combine_feature_dicts(...)`: combine multiple feature dicts.
+- Recording with `record_loop(...)` uses `build_dataset_frame(...)` to build frames consistent with `dataset.features` before we call `add_frame(...)` to add the frame to the dataset.
+
+## Guidance when customizing robot pipelines
+
+You can store any of the following features as your action/observation space:
+
+- Joint positions
+- Absolute EE poses
+- Relative EE deltas
+- Other features: joint velocity, torques, etc.
+
+Pick what you want to use for your policy action and observation space and configure/modify the pipelines and steps accordingly.
+
+### Different robots
+
+- You can easily reuse pipelines, for example to use another robot with phone teleop, modify the examples and swap the robot `RobotKinematics` (URDF) and `motor_names` to use your own robot with Phone teleop. Additionally you should ensure `target_frame_name` points to your gripper/wrist.
+
+### Safety first
+
+- When changing pipelines, start with tight bounds, implement safety steps when working with real robots.
+- Its advised to start with simulation first and then move to real robots.
+
+Thats it! We hope this guide helps you get started with customizing your robot pipelines, If you run into any issues at any point, jump into our [Discord community](https://discord.com/invite/s3KuuzsPFb) for support.

+# Reachy 2
+
+Reachy 2 is an open-source humanoid robot made by Pollen Robotics, specifically designed for the development of embodied AI and real-world applications.
+Check out [Pollen Robotics website](https://www.pollen-robotics.com/reachy/), or access [Reachy 2 documentation](https://docs.pollen-robotics.com/) for more information on the platform!
+
+## Teleoperate Reachy 2
+
+Currently, there are two ways to teleoperate Reachy 2:
+
+- Pollen Robotics’ VR teleoperation (not included in LeRobot).
+- Robot-to-robot teleoperation (use one Reachy 2 to control another).
+
+## Reachy 2 Simulation
+
+**(Linux only)** You can run Reachy 2 in simulation (Gazebo or MuJoCo) using the provided [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/pollenrobotics/reachy2_core).
+
+1. Install [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/).
+2. Run (for MuJoCo):
+
+```
+docker run --rm -it \
+  --name reachy \
+  --privileged \
+  --network host \
+  --ipc host \
+  --device-cgroup-rule='c 189:* rwm' \
+  --group-add audio \
+  -e ROS_DOMAIN_ID="$ROS_DOMAIN_ID" \
+  -e DISPLAY="$DISPLAY" \
+  -e RCUTILS_CONSOLE_OUTPUT_FORMAT="[{severity}]: {message}" \
+  -e REACHY2_CORE_SERVICE_FAKE="${REACHY2_CORE_SERVICE_FAKE:-true}" \
+  -v /dev:/dev \
+  -v "$HOME/.reachy_config":/home/reachy/.reachy_config_override \
+  -v "$HOME/.reachy.log":/home/reachy/.ros/log \
+  -v /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/opt/host-libs \
+  --entrypoint /package/launch.sh \
+  pollenrobotics/reachy2_core:1.7.5.9_deploy \
+  start_rviz:=true start_sdk_server:=true mujoco:=true
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If MuJoCo runs slowly (low simulation frequency), append `-e LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/host-libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" \` to the previous command to improve performance:
+>
+> ```
+> docker run --rm -it \
+>   --name reachy \
+>   --privileged \
+>   --network host \
+>   --ipc host \
+>   --device-cgroup-rule='c 189:* rwm' \
+>   --group-add audio \
+>   -e ROS_DOMAIN_ID="$ROS_DOMAIN_ID" \
+>   -e DISPLAY="$DISPLAY" \
+>   -e RCUTILS_CONSOLE_OUTPUT_FORMAT="[{severity}]: {message}" \
+>   -e REACHY2_CORE_SERVICE_FAKE="${REACHY2_CORE_SERVICE_FAKE:-true}" \
+>   -e LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/host-libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" \
+>   -v /dev:/dev \
+>   -v "$HOME/.reachy_config":/home/reachy/.reachy_config_override \
+>   -v "$HOME/.reachy.log":/home/reachy/.ros/log \
+>   -v /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/opt/host-libs \
+>   --entrypoint /package/launch.sh \
+>   pollenrobotics/reachy2_core:1.7.5.9_deploy \
+>   start_rviz:=true start_sdk_server:=true mujoco:=true
+> ```
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- On your robot, check the **service images** meet the minimum versions:
+  - **reachy2-core >= 1.7.5.2**
+  - **webrtc >= 2.0.1.1**
+
+Then, if you want to use VR teleoperation:
+
+- Install the [Reachy 2 teleoperation application](https://docs.pollen-robotics.com/teleoperation/teleoperation-introduction/discover-teleoperation/).
+  Use version **>=v1.2.0**
+
+We recommend using two computers: one for teleoperation (Windows required) and another for recording with LeRobot.
+
+### Install LeRobot
+
+Follow the [installation instructions](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot#installation) to install LeRobot.
+
+Install LeRobot with Reachy 2 dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[reachy2]"
+```
+
+### (Optional but recommended) Install pollen_data_acquisition_server
+
+How you manage Reachy 2 recording sessions is up to you, but the **easiest** way is to use this server so you can control sessions directly from the VR teleoperation app.
+
+> **Note:** Currently, only the VR teleoperation application works as a client for this server, so this step primarily targets teleoperation. You’re free to develop custom clients to manage sessions to your needs.
+
+In your LeRobot environment, install the server from source:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/pollen-robotics/pollen_data_acquisition_server.git
+cd pollen_data_acquisition_server
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+Find the [pollen_data_acquisition_server documentation here](https://github.com/pollen-robotics/pollen_data_acquisition_server).
+
+## Step 1: Recording
+
+### Get Reachy 2 IP address
+
+Before starting teleoperation and data recording, find the [robot's IP address](https://docs.pollen-robotics.com/getting-started/setup-reachy2/connect-reachy2/).
+We strongly recommend connecting all devices (PC and robot) via **Ethernet**.
+
+### Launch recording
+
+There are two ways to manage recording sessions when using the Reachy 2 VR teleoperation application:
+
+- **Using the data acquisition server (recommended for VR teleop)**: The VR app orchestrates sessions (via the server it tells LeRobot when to create datasets, start/stop episodes) while also controlling the robot’s motions.
+- **Using LeRobot’s record script**: LeRobot owns session control and decides when to start/stop episodes. If you also use the VR teleop app, it’s only for motion control.
+
+### Option 1: Using Pollen data acquisition server (recommended for VR teleop)
+
+Make sure you have installed pollen_data_acquisition_server, as explained in the Setup section.
+
+Launch the data acquisition server to be able to manage your session directly from the teleoperation application:
+
+```bash
+python -m pollen_data_acquisition_server.server
+```
+
+Then get into the teleoperation application and choose "Data acquisition session".
+You can finally setup your session by following the screens displayed.
+
+> Even without the VR app, you can use the `pollen_data_acquisition_server` with your own client implementation.
+
+### Option 2: Using lerobot.record
+
+Reachy 2 is fully supported by LeRobot’s recording features.
+If you choose this option but still want to use the VR teleoperation application, select "Standard session" in the app.
+
+**Example: start a recording without the mobile base:**
+First add reachy2 and reachy2_teleoperator to the imports of the record script. Then you can use the following command:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-record \
+    --robot.type=reachy2 \
+    --robot.ip_address=192.168.0.200 \
+    --robot.id=r2-0000 \
+    --robot.use_external_commands=true \
+    --robot.with_mobile_base=false \
+    --teleop.type=reachy2_teleoperator \
+    --teleop.ip_address=192.168.0.200 \
+    --teleop.with_mobile_base=false \
+    --robot.with_torso_camera=true \
+    --dataset.repo_id=pollen_robotics/record_test \
+    --dataset.single_task="Reachy 2 recording test" \
+    --dataset.num_episodes=1 \
+    --dataset.episode_time_s=5 \
+    --dataset.fps=15 \
+    --dataset.push_to_hub=true \
+    --dataset.private=true \
+    --dataset.streaming_encoding=true \
+    --dataset.encoder_threads=2 \
+    # --dataset.rgb_encoder.vcodec=auto \
+    --display_data=true
+```
+
+#### Specific Options
+
+**Extended setup overview (all options included):**
+
+```bash
+lerobot-record \
+    --robot.type=reachy2 \
+    --robot.ip_address=192.168.0.200 \
+    --robot.use_external_commands=true \
+    --robot.with_mobile_base=true \
+    --robot.with_l_arm=true \
+    --robot.with_r_arm=true \
+    --robot.with_neck=true \
+    --robot.with_antennas=true \
+    --robot.with_left_teleop_camera=true \
+    --robot.with_right_teleop_camera=true \
+    --robot.with_torso_camera=false \
+    --robot.camera_width=640 \
+    --robot.camera_height=480 \
+    --robot.disable_torque_on_disconnect=false \
+    --robot.max_relative_target=5.0 \
+    --teleop.type=reachy2_teleoperator \
+    --teleop.ip_address=192.168.0.200 \
+    --teleop.use_present_position=false \
+    --teleop.with_mobile_base=false \
+    --teleop.with_l_arm=true \
+    --teleop.with_r_arm=true \
+    --teleop.with_neck=true \
+    --teleop.with_antennas=true \
+    --dataset.repo_id=pollen_robotics/record_test \
+    --dataset.single_task="Reachy 2 recording test" \
+    --dataset.num_episodes=1 \
+    --dataset.episode_time_s=5 \
+    --dataset.fps=15 \
+    --dataset.push_to_hub=true \
+    --dataset.private=true \
+    --dataset.streaming_encoding=true \
+    --dataset.encoder_threads=2 \
+    # --dataset.rgb_encoder.vcodec=auto \
+    --display_data=true
+```
+
+##### `--robot.use_external_commands`
+
+Determine whether LeRobot robot.send_action() sends commands to the robot.
+**Must** be set to false while using the VR teleoperation application, as the app already sends commands.
+
+##### `--teleop.use_present_position`
+
+Determine whether the teleoperator reads the goal or present position of the robot.
+Must be set to true if a compliant Reachy 2 is used to control another one.
+
+##### Use the relevant parts
+
+From our initial tests, recording **all** joints when only some are moving can reduce model quality with certain policies.
+To avoid this, you can exclude specific parts from recording and replay using:
+
+```bash
+--robot.with_<part>=false
+```
+
+with `<part>` being one of : `mobile_base`, `l_arm`, `r_arm", `neck`, `antennas`.
+It determine whether the corresponding part is recorded in the observations. True if not set.
+
+By default, **all parts are recorded**.
+
+The same per-part mechanism is available in `reachy2_teleoperator` as well.
+
+```bash
+--teleop.with\_<part>
+```
+
+with `<part>` being one of : `mobile_base`, `l_arm`, `r_arm", `neck`, `antennas`.
+Determine whether the corresponding part is recorded in the actions. True if not set.
+
+> **Important:** In a given session, the **enabled parts must match** on both the robot and the teleoperator.
+> For example, if the robot runs with `--robot.with_mobile_base=false`, the teleoperator must disable the same part `--teleoperator.with_mobile_base=false`.
+
+##### Use the relevant cameras
+
+You can do the same for **cameras**. Enable or disable each camera with default parameters using:
+
+```bash
+--robot.with_left_teleop_camera=<true|false> \
+--robot.with_right_teleop_camera=<true|false> \
+--robot.with_torso_camera=<true|false>
+```
+
+By default, no camera is recorded, all camera arguments are set to `false`.
+If you want to, you can use custom `width` and `height` parameters for Reachy 2's cameras using the `--robot.camera_width` & `--robot.camera_height` argument:
+
+```bash
+--robot.camera_width=1920 \
+--robot.camera_height=1080
+```
+
+This will change the resolution of all 3 default robot cameras (enabled by the above bool arguments).
+
+If you want, you can add additional cameras other than the ones in the robot as usual with:
+
+```bash
+--robot.cameras="{ extra: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 42, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
+```
+
+## Step 2: Replay
+
+Make sure the robot is configured with the same parts as the dataset:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-replay \
+    --robot.type=reachy2 \
+    --robot.ip_address=192.168.0.200 \
+    --robot.use_external_commands=false \
+    --robot.with_mobile_base=false \
+    --dataset.repo_id=pollen_robotics/record_test \
+    --dataset.episode=0
+```
+
+## Step 3: Train
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=pollen_robotics/record_test \
+  --policy.type=act \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/reachy2_test \
+  --job_name=reachy2 \
+  --policy.device=mps \
+  --wandb.enable=true \
+  --policy.repo_id=pollen_robotics/record_test_policy
+```
+
+## Step 4: Evaluate
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --robot.type=reachy2 \
+  --robot.ip_address=192.168.0.200 \
+  --dataset.repo_id=pollen_robotics/eval_record_test \
+  --dataset.single_task="Evaluate reachy2 policy" \
+  --dataset.num_episodes=10 \
+  --policy.path=outputs/train/reachy2_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
+```

+# reBot B601-DM
+
+[reBot B601-DM](https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/rebot_arm_b601_dm_lerobot/) is an open-source, low-cost robot arm from Seeed Studio for embodied-AI and imitation learning. It comes as a **follower** arm (the `B601-DM`, a 6-DOF arm plus gripper driven by Damiao CAN motors) and a **leader** arm (the `StarArm102` / `reBot Arm 102`, driven by FashionStar UART smart servos) used to teleoperate it.
+
+This page covers **calibration** and **teleoperation** for both single-arm and bimanual (dual-arm) setups.

+
+## Install LeRobot 🤗
+
+Follow our [Installation Guide](./installation), then install the reBot support:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[rebot]"
+```
+
+This pulls in `motorbridge` (CAN motor control for the B601-DM follower) and `motorbridge-smart-servo` (FashionStar UART servos for the reBot Arm 102 leader).
+
+## Registered device types
+
+| Type                     | Kind                                         |
+| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
+| `rebot_b601_follower`    | single-arm B601-DM follower robot            |
+| `bi_rebot_b601_follower` | bimanual (dual-arm) follower robot           |
+| `rebot_102_leader`       | single-arm reBot Arm 102 leader teleoperator |
+| `bi_rebot_102_leader`    | bimanual (dual-arm) leader teleoperator      |
+
+The bimanual types compose two single-arm instances and namespace each arm's
+observation/action keys with a `left_` / `right_` prefix. Per-arm settings are
+passed through nested `left_arm_config.*` / `right_arm_config.*` arguments.
+
+## Find the USB ports
+
+For each device, find the USB port associated with its motor bus using:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-find-port
+```
+
+<Tip warning={true}>
+  On Linux, remove `brltty` (`sudo apt remove brltty`) so it does not hold the
+  leader's USB serial port. You may also need to grant access to the serial
+  devices: `sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyACM* /dev/ttyUSB*`.
+</Tip>
+
+## Calibration
+
+Neither arm stores a persistent hardware calibration: every time it connects, the motors are re-zeroed against the pose the arm is physically holding. Calibration simply records that zero pose. When prompted, **manually move the arm to its zero position** (the default sit-down pose shown above, gripper fully closed) and press <kbd>ENTER</kbd>.
+
+### Follower (B601-DM)
+
+<hfoptions id="calibrate-follower">
+<hfoption id="Single arm">

+</hfoptions>
+
+## Teleoperation
+
+Once both arms are calibrated, drive the follower with the leader. The follower talks to its CAN bus through a Damiao serial bridge (`can_adapter=damiao`, the default) or a SocketCAN adapter (`can_adapter=socketcan`). See the [OpenArm page](./openarm) for more details on the SocketCAN adapter configuration.

+
+</hfoption>
+<hfoption id="Dual arm">
+
+The bimanual leader and follower reuse the single-arm classes; each arm is
+configured through nested `left_arm_config.*` / `right_arm_config.*` arguments,

+    --teleop.right_arm_config.port=/dev/ttyUSB1
+```
+
+</hfoption>
+</hfoptions>
+
+<Tip>
+  The leader and follower share the same joint names (`shoulder_pan,
+  shoulder_lift, elbow_flex, wrist_flex, wrist_yaw, wrist_roll, gripper`), so
+  leader actions map directly onto the follower.
+</Tip>
+
+If the motion of a joint is reversed, flip its sign in the leader's `joint_directions` (the gripper also carries a scale to widen its range to the follower):
+
+```bash
+lerobot-teleoperate \
+    --robot.type=rebot_b601_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+    --robot.can_adapter=damiao \
+    --teleop.type=rebot_102_leader \
+    --teleop.port=/dev/ttyUSB0 \
+    --teleop.joint_directions='{"shoulder_pan":-1,"shoulder_lift":-1,"elbow_flex":1,"wrist_flex":1,"wrist_yaw":1,"wrist_roll":-1,"gripper":-6}'
+```
+
+## Recording datasets
+
+Swap `lerobot-teleoperate` for `lerobot-record` (with the same `--robot.*` / `--teleop.*` arguments, plus `--dataset.*`) to record demonstrations for training. See [Imitation Learning for Robots](./il_robots) for the full workflow.
+
+For hardware assembly and wiring, see the [Seeed Studio reBot wiki](https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/rebot_arm_b601_dm_lerobot/).

+# Rename Map and Empty Cameras
+
+When you train, evaluate, or record with a robot policy, your **dataset** or **environment** provides observations under one set of keys (e.g. `observation.images.front`, `observation.images.eagle`), while your **policy** expects another (e.g. `observation.images.image`, `observation.images.image2`). The **rename map** bridges that gap without changing the policy or data source.
+
+> **Scope:** The rename map only renames **observation** keys (images and state). Action keys are not affected.
+
+## Why observation keys don't always match
+
+Policies have a fixed set of **input feature names** baked into their pretrained config. For example:
+
+- [pi0fast-libero](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/pi0fast-libero) expects `observation.images.base_0_rgb` and `observation.images.left_wrist_0_rgb`.
+- [xvla-base](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/xvla-base) expects `observation.images.image`, `observation.images.image2`, and `observation.images.image3`.
+
+Your dataset might use different names entirely (e.g. `observation.images.front`, `observation.images.eagle`, `observation.images.glove`), and your eval environment might use yet another set. Rather than editing the policy config or renaming columns in the dataset, you pass a **rename map**: a JSON dictionary that maps source keys to the keys the policy expects. Renaming happens inside the preprocessor pipeline, so the policy always sees its expected keys.
+
+## Using the rename map
+
+Pass the mapping as a JSON string on the command line. The convention is always:
+
+```
+--rename_map='{"source_key": "policy_key", ...}'
+```
+
+where **source_key** is what the dataset or environment provides, and **policy_key** is what the policy expects.
+
+Only listed keys are renamed; everything else passes through unchanged. Order of entries doesn't matter.
+
+Supported policies: **PI0**, **PI05**, **PI0Fast**, **SmolVLA**, and **XVLA**.
+
+### Training
+
+Suppose you fine-tune [lerobot/xvla-base](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/xvla-base) on a dataset with images under `observation.images.front`, `observation.images.eagle`, and `observation.images.glove`. XVLA expects `observation.images.image`, `observation.images.image2`, and `observation.images.image3`:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=YOUR_DATASET \
+  --output_dir=./outputs/xvla_training \
+  --job_name=xvla_training \
+  --policy.path="lerobot/xvla-base" \
+  --policy.repo_id="HF_USER/xvla-your-robot" \
+  --policy.dtype=bfloat16 \
+  --policy.action_mode=auto \
+  --steps=20000 \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --policy.freeze_vision_encoder=false \
+  --policy.freeze_language_encoder=false \
+  --policy.train_policy_transformer=true \
+  --policy.train_soft_prompts=true \
+  --rename_map='{"observation.images.front": "observation.images.image", "observation.images.eagle": "observation.images.image2", "observation.images.glove": "observation.images.image3"}'
+```
+
+### Evaluation
+
+A policy that expects `observation.images.base_0_rgb` and `observation.images.left_wrist_0_rgb` (e.g. [pi0fast-libero](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/pi0fast-libero)), but the LIBERO environment returns `observation.images.image` and `observation.images.image2`:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/pi0fast-libero \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  ... \
+  --rename_map='{"observation.images.image": "observation.images.base_0_rgb", "observation.images.image2": "observation.images.left_wrist_0_rgb"}'
+```
+
+## Alternative: edit the policy config directly
+
+If you always use the same dataset or environment, you can **edit the policy's `config.json`** so its observation keys match your data source. Then no rename map is needed.
+
+The tradeoff: modifying the policy config ties it to one data source. A rename map keeps one policy usable across many datasets and environments.
+
+## Empty cameras: fewer views than the policy expects
+
+Some policies are built for a fixed number of image inputs. If your dataset has fewer cameras, you can set **`empty_cameras`** in the policy config instead of modifying the model architecture.
+
+### How it works
+
+Setting `empty_cameras=N` adds N placeholder image features to the policy config, named:
+
+```
+observation.images.empty_camera_0
+observation.images.empty_camera_1
+...
+```
+
+At runtime, these keys have no corresponding data in the batch. The policy fills them with masked dummy tensors (padded with `-1` for SigLIP-based vision encoders, with a zero attention mask), so the extra image slots are effectively ignored during training and inference.
+
+### Example
+
+XVLA-base has three visual inputs and `empty_cameras=0` by default. Your dataset only has two cameras:
+
+1. Set `--policy.empty_cameras=1`.
+2. The config adds a third key: `observation.images.empty_camera_0`.
+3. Use the rename map for your two real cameras as usual.
+4. The third slot is masked out — no fake images needed in your dataset.
+

+  alt="RoboCasa365 benchmark overview"
+  width="85%"
+/>
+
+## Available tasks
+
+RoboCasa365 organizes its 365 tasks into two families and three upstream benchmark groups that LeRobot exposes as first-class `--env.task` shortcuts:
+
+| Family    | Tasks | Description                                                                     |
+| --------- | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Atomic    | ~65   | Single-skill tasks: pick-and-place, door/drawer manipulation, appliance control |
+| Composite | ~300  | Multi-step tasks across 60+ categories: cooking, cleaning, organizing, etc.     |
+
+**Atomic task examples:** `CloseFridge`, `OpenDrawer`, `OpenCabinet`, `TurnOnMicrowave`, `TurnOffStove`, `NavigateKitchen`, `PickPlaceCounterToStove`.
+
+**Composite task categories:** baking, boiling, brewing, chopping, clearing table, defrosting food, loading dishwasher, making tea, microwaving food, washing dishes, and more.
+
+`--env.task` accepts three forms:
+
+- a single task name (`CloseFridge`)
+- a comma-separated list (`CloseFridge,OpenBlenderLid,PickPlaceCoffee`)
+- a benchmark-group shortcut — `atomic_seen`, `composite_seen`, `composite_unseen`, `pretrain50`, `pretrain100`, `pretrain200`, `pretrain300` — which auto-expands to the upstream task list and auto-sets the dataset `split` (`target` or `pretrain`).
+
+## Installation
+
+RoboCasa and its dependency `robosuite` are not published on PyPI, and RoboCasa's own `setup.py` hardcodes `lerobot==0.3.3`, which conflicts with this repo's `lerobot`. LeRobot therefore does **not** expose a `robocasa` extra — install the two packages manually as editable clones (using `--no-deps` on `robocasa` to skip its shadowed `lerobot` pin):
+
+```bash
+# After following the standard LeRobot installation instructions.
+
+git clone https://github.com/robocasa/robocasa.git ~/robocasa
+git clone https://github.com/ARISE-Initiative/robosuite.git ~/robosuite
+pip install -e ~/robocasa --no-deps
+pip install -e ~/robosuite
+
+# Robocasa's runtime deps (the ones its setup.py would have pulled, minus
+# the bad lerobot pin).
+pip install numpy numba scipy mujoco pygame Pillow opencv-python \
+            pyyaml pynput tqdm termcolor imageio h5py lxml hidapi \
+            tianshou gymnasium
+
+python -m robocasa.scripts.setup_macros
+# Lightweight assets (lightwheel object meshes + textures). Enough for
+# the default env out of the box.
+python -m robocasa.scripts.download_kitchen_assets \
+  --type tex tex_generative fixtures_lw objs_lw
+# Optional: full objaverse/aigen registries (~30GB) for richer object
+# variety. Enable at eval time via --env.obj_registries (see below).
+# python -m robocasa.scripts.download_kitchen_assets --type objs_objaverse
+```
+
+<Tip>
+RoboCasa requires MuJoCo. Set the rendering backend before training or evaluation:
+
+```bash
+export MUJOCO_GL=egl  # for headless servers (HPC, cloud)
+```
+
+</Tip>
+
+### Object registries
+
+By default the env samples objects only from the `lightwheel` registry (what `--type objs_lw` ships), which avoids a `Probabilities contain NaN` crash when the objaverse / aigen packs aren't on disk. If you've downloaded the full asset set, enable the full registry at runtime:
+
+```bash
+--env.obj_registries='[objaverse,lightwheel]'
+```
+
+## Evaluation
+
+All eval snippets below mirror the CI command (see `.github/workflows/benchmark_tests.yml`). The `--rename_map` argument maps RoboCasa's native camera keys (`robot0_agentview_left` / `robot0_eye_in_hand` / `robot0_agentview_right`) onto the three-camera (`camera1` / `camera2` / `camera3`) input layout the released `smolvla_robocasa` policy was trained on.
+
+### Single-task evaluation (recommended for quick iteration)
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_robocasa \
+  --env.type=robocasa \
+  --env.task=CloseFridge \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=20 \
+  --eval.use_async_envs=false \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  '--rename_map={"observation.images.robot0_agentview_left": "observation.images.camera1", "observation.images.robot0_eye_in_hand": "observation.images.camera2", "observation.images.robot0_agentview_right": "observation.images.camera3"}'
+```
+
+### Multi-task evaluation
+
+Pass a comma-separated list of tasks:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_robocasa \
+  --env.type=robocasa \
+  --env.task=CloseFridge,OpenCabinet,OpenDrawer,TurnOnMicrowave,TurnOffStove \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=20 \
+  --eval.use_async_envs=false \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  '--rename_map={"observation.images.robot0_agentview_left": "observation.images.camera1", "observation.images.robot0_eye_in_hand": "observation.images.camera2", "observation.images.robot0_agentview_right": "observation.images.camera3"}'
+```
+
+### Benchmark-group evaluation
+
+Run an entire upstream group (e.g. all 18 `atomic_seen` tasks with `split=target`):
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_robocasa \
+  --env.type=robocasa \
+  --env.task=atomic_seen \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=20 \
+  --eval.use_async_envs=false \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  '--rename_map={"observation.images.robot0_agentview_left": "observation.images.camera1", "observation.images.robot0_eye_in_hand": "observation.images.camera2", "observation.images.robot0_agentview_right": "observation.images.camera3"}'
+```
+
+### Recommended evaluation episodes
+
+**20 episodes per task** for reproducible benchmarking. Matches the protocol used in published results.
+
+## Policy inputs and outputs
+
+**Observations** (raw RoboCasa camera names are preserved verbatim):
+
+- `observation.state` — 16-dim proprioceptive state (base position, base quaternion, relative end-effector position, relative end-effector quaternion, gripper qpos)
+- `observation.images.robot0_agentview_left` — left agent view, 256×256 HWC uint8
+- `observation.images.robot0_eye_in_hand` — wrist camera view, 256×256 HWC uint8
+- `observation.images.robot0_agentview_right` — right agent view, 256×256 HWC uint8
+
+**Actions:**
+
+- Continuous control in `Box(-1, 1, shape=(12,))` — base motion (4D) + control mode (1D) + end-effector position (3D) + end-effector rotation (3D) + gripper (1D).
+
+## Training
+
+### Single-task example
+
+A ready-to-use single-task dataset is on the Hub:
+[`pepijn223/robocasa_CloseFridge`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/pepijn223/robocasa_CloseFridge).
+
+Fine-tune a SmolVLA base on `CloseFridge`:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.type=smolvla \
+  --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/smolvla_robocasa_CloseFridge \
+  --policy.load_vlm_weights=true \
+  --policy.push_to_hub=true \
+  --dataset.repo_id=pepijn223/robocasa_CloseFridge \
+  --env.type=robocasa \
+  --env.task=CloseFridge \
+  --output_dir=./outputs/smolvla_robocasa_CloseFridge \
+  --steps=100000 \
+  --batch_size=4 \
+  --env_eval_freq=5000 \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=5 \
+  --save_freq=10000
+```
+
+Evaluate the resulting checkpoint:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=${HF_USER}/smolvla_robocasa_CloseFridge \
+  --env.type=robocasa \
+  --env.task=CloseFridge \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=20
+```
+
+## Reproducing published results
+
+The released checkpoint [`lerobot/smolvla_robocasa`](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/smolvla_robocasa) is evaluated with the commands in the [Evaluation](#evaluation) section. CI runs a 10-atomic-task smoke eval (one episode each) on every PR touching the benchmark, picking fixture-centric tasks that don't require the objaverse asset pack.

+# RoboCerebra
+
+[RoboCerebra](https://robocerebra-project.github.io/) is a long-horizon manipulation benchmark that evaluates **high-level reasoning, planning, and memory** in VLAs. Episodes chain multiple sub-goals with language-grounded intermediate instructions, built on top of LIBERO's simulator stack (MuJoCo + robosuite, Franka Panda 7-DOF).
+
+- Paper: [RoboCerebra: A Large-scale Benchmark for Long-horizon Robotic Manipulation Evaluation](https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.06677)
+- Project website: [robocerebra-project.github.io](https://robocerebra-project.github.io/)
+- Dataset: [`lerobot/robocerebra_unified`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/robocerebra_unified) — LeRobot v3.0, 6,660 episodes / 571,116 frames at 20 fps, 1,728 language-grounded sub-tasks.
+- Pretrained policy: [`lerobot/smolvla_robocerebra`](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/smolvla_robocerebra)
+
+## Available tasks
+
+RoboCerebra reuses LIBERO's simulator, so evaluation runs against the LIBERO `libero_10` long-horizon suite:
+
+| Suite     | CLI name    | Tasks | Description                                                   |
+| --------- | ----------- | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| LIBERO-10 | `libero_10` | 10    | Long-horizon kitchen/living room tasks chaining 3–6 sub-goals |
+
+Each RoboCerebra episode in the dataset is segmented into multiple sub-tasks with natural-language instructions, which the unified dataset exposes as independent supervision signals.
+
+## Installation
+
+RoboCerebra piggybacks on LIBERO, so the `libero` extra is all you need:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[libero]"
+```
+
+<Tip>
+RoboCerebra requires Linux (MuJoCo / robosuite). Set the rendering backend before training or evaluation:
+
+```bash
+export MUJOCO_GL=egl  # for headless servers (HPC, cloud)
+```
+
+</Tip>
+
+## Evaluation
+
+RoboCerebra eval runs against LIBERO's `libero_10` suite with RoboCerebra's camera naming (`image` + `wrist_image`) and an extra empty-camera slot so a three-view-trained policy receives the expected input layout:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_robocerebra \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  --env.task=libero_10 \
+  --env.fps=20 \
+  --env.obs_type=pixels_agent_pos \
+  --env.observation_height=256 \
+  --env.observation_width=256 \
+  '--env.camera_name_mapping={"agentview_image": "image", "robot0_eye_in_hand_image": "wrist_image"}' \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+  --eval.use_async_envs=false \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  '--rename_map={"observation.images.image": "observation.images.camera1", "observation.images.wrist_image": "observation.images.camera2"}' \
+  --policy.empty_cameras=1
+```
+
+### Recommended evaluation episodes
+
+**10 episodes per task** across the `libero_10` suite (100 total) for reproducible benchmarking. Matches the protocol used in the RoboCerebra paper.
+
+## Policy inputs and outputs
+
+**Observations:**
+
+- `observation.state` — 8-dim proprioceptive state (7 joint positions + gripper)
+- `observation.images.image` — third-person view, 256×256 HWC uint8
+- `observation.images.wrist_image` — wrist-mounted camera view, 256×256 HWC uint8
+
+**Actions:**
+
+- Continuous control in `Box(-1, 1, shape=(7,))` — end-effector delta (6D) + gripper (1D)
+
+## Training
+
+The unified dataset at [`lerobot/robocerebra_unified`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/robocerebra_unified) exposes two RGB streams and language-grounded sub-task annotations:
+
+| Feature                          | Shape         | Description          |
+| -------------------------------- | ------------- | -------------------- |
+| `observation.images.image`       | (256, 256, 3) | Third-person view    |
+| `observation.images.wrist_image` | (256, 256, 3) | Wrist-mounted camera |
+| `observation.state`              | (8,)          | Joint pos + gripper  |
+| `action`                         | (7,)          | EEF delta + gripper  |
+
+Fine-tune a SmolVLA base on it:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_base \
+  --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/robocerebra_unified \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  --env.task=libero_10 \
+  --output_dir=outputs/smolvla_robocerebra
+```
+
+## Reproducing published results
+
+The released checkpoint [`lerobot/smolvla_robocerebra`](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/smolvla_robocerebra) was trained on `lerobot/robocerebra_unified` and evaluated with the command in the [Evaluation](#evaluation) section. CI runs the same command with `--eval.n_episodes=1` as a smoke test on every PR touching the benchmark.

+# ROBOMETER
+
+ROBOMETER is a **general-purpose video-language robotic reward model**. It predicts dense, frame-level task progress and frame-level success from a trajectory video and a task description.
+
+**Paper**: [ROBOMETER: Scaling General-Purpose Robotic Reward Models via Trajectory Comparisons](https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.02115)
+**Project**: [robometer.github.io](https://robometer.github.io/)
+**Original code**: [github.com/robometer/robometer](https://github.com/robometer/robometer)
+**Checkpoint**: [lerobot/Robometer-4B](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/Robometer-4B)
+
+## Overview
+
+ROBOMETER builds on `Qwen/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct` and adds three lightweight prediction heads:
+
+- **Progress head**: predicts per-frame task progress in `[0, 1]`.
+- **Success head**: predicts per-frame task success probability.
+- **Preference head**: predicts which of two trajectories better completes the task during training.
+
+The paper trains ROBOMETER with a composite objective:
+
+```text
+L = L_pref + L_prog + L_succ
+```
+
+The LeRobot integration is currently **inference-only**. It preserves the preference head so that the published `Robometer-4B` checkpoint loads without remapping, but `compute_reward()` queries the progress or success head only.
+
+## What the LeRobot Integration Covers
+
+- Standard `reward_model.type=robometer` configuration through LeRobot.
+- Qwen3-VL image and text preprocessing through `RobometerEncoderProcessorStep`.
+- LeRobot reward-model save/load APIs through `PreTrainedRewardModel`.
+- Dense, frame-level progress and success predictions internally.
+- A scalar reward through `compute_reward()` for downstream LeRobot reward-model usage.
+
+This page focuses on using the published ROBOMETER checkpoint as a zero-shot reward model. Training ROBOMETER from scratch is outside the current LeRobot integration.
+
+## Installation Requirements
+
+1. Install LeRobot by following the [Installation Guide](./installation).
+2. Install the ROBOMETER dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[robometer]"
+```
+
+If you use `uv` directly from a source checkout:
+
+```bash
+uv sync --extra robometer
+```
+
+ROBOMETER uses a Qwen3-VL-4B backbone, so GPU inference is strongly recommended.
+
+## Model Inputs and Outputs
+
+ROBOMETER expects:
+
+- A trajectory video or sequence of frames.
+- A natural-language task description.
+
+In LeRobot datasets, the preprocessor reads:
+
+| Config field              | Default                  | Meaning                                               |
+| ------------------------- | ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| `reward_model.image_key`  | `observation.images.top` | Camera/video observation used by ROBOMETER            |
+| `reward_model.task_key`   | `task`                   | Key in complementary data that stores the task string |
+| `reward_model.max_frames` | `8`                      | Maximum number of frames passed to ROBOMETER          |
+
+The model predicts per-frame progress and success internally. The LeRobot reward API returns a scalar per sample:
+
+- `reward_output="progress"` (default): return the last-frame progress, clamped to `[0, 1]`.
+- `reward_output="success"`: return `1.0` if the last-frame success probability is above `success_threshold`, otherwise `0.0`.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Load the Reward Model Directly
+
+```python
+from lerobot.rewards.robometer import RobometerConfig, RobometerRewardModel
+
+cfg = RobometerConfig(
+    pretrained_path="lerobot/Robometer-4B",
+    device="cuda",
+    reward_output="progress",
+)
+reward_model = RobometerRewardModel.from_pretrained(cfg.pretrained_path, config=cfg)
+```
+
+### Encode Frames and Compute a Reward
+
+For a direct Python call, provide frames as `uint8` arrays with shape `(T, H, W, C)` and a task string:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.rewards.robometer.modeling_robometer import ROBOMETER_FEATURE_PREFIX
+from lerobot.rewards.robometer.processor_robometer import RobometerEncoderProcessorStep
+
+# frames: np.ndarray, shape (T, H, W, C), dtype uint8
+# task: str
+encoder = RobometerEncoderProcessorStep(
+    base_model_id=cfg.base_model_id,
+    use_multi_image=cfg.use_multi_image,
+    use_per_frame_progress_token=cfg.use_per_frame_progress_token,
+    max_frames=cfg.max_frames,
+)
+
+encoded = encoder.encode_samples([(frames, task)])
+batch = {f"{ROBOMETER_FEATURE_PREFIX}{key}": value for key, value in encoded.items()}
+
+reward = reward_model.compute_reward(batch)
+```
+
+`reward` is a tensor of shape `(batch_size,)`.
+
+### Use the Reward Factory
+
+You can also instantiate ROBOMETER through the reward factory:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.rewards import make_reward_model, make_reward_model_config, make_reward_pre_post_processors
+
+cfg = make_reward_model_config(
+    "robometer",
+    pretrained_path="lerobot/Robometer-4B",
+    device="cuda",
+    image_key="observation.images.top",
+)
+reward_model = make_reward_model(cfg)
+preprocessor, postprocessor = make_reward_pre_post_processors(cfg)
+```
+
+The preprocessor writes Qwen-VL tensors under the `observation.robometer.*` namespace, and `compute_reward()` reads those encoded tensors.
+
+## Configuration Notes
+
+### Backbone and Vocabulary
+
+The published checkpoint uses a Qwen3-VL-4B backbone. ROBOMETER adds five special tokens to the tokenizer in a fixed order:
+
+```text
+<|split_token|>
+<|reward_token|>
+<|pref_token|>
+<|sim_token|>
+<|prog_token|>
+```
+
+`<|prog_token|>` is inserted after each frame and is the hidden-state position used for per-frame progress and success prediction. `<|split_token|>` and `<|pref_token|>` are used by the paper's pairwise trajectory preference objective. `<|reward_token|>` and `<|sim_token|>` are preserved for checkpoint compatibility.
+
+The LeRobot config stores a serialized `vlm_config` with the post-resize vocabulary so the model can reload from `config.json` without downloading the base Qwen weights first. For `Qwen/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct`, the tokenizer length is `151669`, and the five ROBOMETER tokens produce the checkpoint vocabulary size `151674`.
+
+### Progress Prediction
+
+In the published checkpoint, progress is discrete. The progress head outputs logits over `progress_discrete_bins=10` uniformly spaced bin centers in `[0, 1]`. LeRobot converts these logits into a continuous value by applying a softmax and taking the expectation over bin centers, matching the upstream ROBOMETER implementation.
+
+### Success Prediction
+
+The success head outputs raw logits per frame. LeRobot converts them to probabilities with `sigmoid`. When `reward_output="success"`, `compute_reward()` thresholds the last-frame success probability using `success_threshold`.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- The current LeRobot integration is inference-only; it does not implement ROBOMETER training or preference-pair training.
+- `compute_reward()` returns a scalar per sample for the LeRobot reward-model API, even though ROBOMETER predicts per-frame progress and success internally.
+- ROBOMETER is video-language based; it does not use privileged robot state such as contact forces or object poses.

+# RoboMME
+
+[RoboMME](https://robomme.github.io) is a memory-augmented manipulation benchmark built on ManiSkill (SAPIEN). It evaluates a robot's ability to retain and use information across an episode — counting, object permanence, reference, and imitation.
+
+- **16 tasks** across 4 memory-skill suites
+- **1,600 training demos** (100 per task, 50 val, 50 test)
+- **Dataset**: [`lerobot/robomme`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/robomme) — LeRobot v3.0, 768K frames at 10 fps
+- **Simulator**: ManiSkill / SAPIEN, Panda arm, Linux only
+
+![RoboMME benchmark tasks overview](https://cdn-thumbnails.huggingface.co/social-thumbnails/papers/2603.04639/gradient.png)
+
+## Tasks
+
+| Suite                             | Tasks                                                         |
+| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Counting** (temporal memory)    | BinFill, PickXtimes, SwingXtimes, StopCube                    |
+| **Permanence** (spatial memory)   | VideoUnmask, VideoUnmaskSwap, ButtonUnmask, ButtonUnmaskSwap  |
+| **Reference** (object memory)     | PickHighlight, VideoRepick, VideoPlaceButton, VideoPlaceOrder |
+| **Imitation** (procedural memory) | MoveCube, InsertPeg, PatternLock, RouteStick                  |
+
+## Installation
+
+> RoboMME requires **Linux** (ManiSkill/SAPIEN uses Vulkan rendering). Docker is recommended to isolate dependency conflicts.
+
+### Native (Linux)
+
+```bash
+pip install --override <(printf 'gymnasium==0.29.1\nnumpy==1.26.4\n') \
+  -e '.[smolvla,av-dep]' \
+  'robomme @ git+https://github.com/RoboMME/robomme_benchmark.git@main'
+```
+
+> **Dependency note**: `mani-skill` (pulled by `robomme`) pins `gymnasium==0.29.1` and `numpy<2.0.0`, which conflict with lerobot's base `numpy>=2.0.0`. That's why `robomme` is not a pyproject extra — use the override install above, or the Docker approach below to avoid conflicts entirely.
+
+### Docker (recommended)
+
+```bash
+# Build base image first (from repo root)
+docker build -f docker/Dockerfile.eval-base -t lerobot-eval-base .
+
+# Build RoboMME eval image (applies gymnasium + numpy pin overrides)
+docker build -f docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.robomme -t lerobot-robomme .
+```
+
+The `docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.robomme` image overrides `gymnasium==0.29.1` and `numpy==1.26.4` after lerobot's install. Both versions are runtime-safe for lerobot's actual API usage.
+
+## Running Evaluation
+
+### Default (single task, single episode)
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+    --policy.path=<your_policy_repo> \
+    --env.type=robomme \
+    --env.task=PickXtimes \
+    --env.dataset_split=test \
+    --env.task_ids=[0] \
+    --eval.batch_size=1 \
+    --eval.n_episodes=1
+```
+
+### Multi-task evaluation
+
+Evaluate multiple tasks in one run by comma-separating task names. Use `task_ids` to control which episodes are evaluated per task. Recommended: 50 episodes per task for the test split.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+    --policy.path=<your_policy_repo> \
+    --env.type=robomme \
+    --env.task=PickXtimes,BinFill,StopCube,MoveCube,InsertPeg \
+    --env.dataset_split=test \
+    --env.task_ids=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] \
+    --eval.batch_size=1 \
+    --eval.n_episodes=50
+```
+
+### Key CLI options for `env.type=robomme`
+
+| Option               | Default       | Description                                        |
+| -------------------- | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
+| `env.task`           | `PickXtimes`  | Any of the 16 task names above (comma-separated)   |
+| `env.dataset_split`  | `test`        | `train`, `val`, or `test`                          |
+| `env.action_space`   | `joint_angle` | `joint_angle` (8-D) or `ee_pose` (7-D)             |
+| `env.episode_length` | `300`         | Max steps per episode                              |
+| `env.task_ids`       | `null`        | List of episode indices to evaluate (null = `[0]`) |
+
+## Dataset
+
+The dataset [`lerobot/robomme`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/robomme) is in **LeRobot v3.0 format** and can be loaded directly:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
+
+dataset = LeRobotDataset("lerobot/robomme")
+```
+
+### Dataset features
+
+| Feature            | Shape         | Description                     |
+| ------------------ | ------------- | ------------------------------- |
+| `image`            | (256, 256, 3) | Front camera RGB                |
+| `wrist_image`      | (256, 256, 3) | Wrist camera RGB                |
+| `actions`          | (8,)          | Joint angles + gripper          |
+| `state`            | (8,)          | Joint positions + gripper state |
+| `simple_subgoal`   | str           | High-level language annotation  |
+| `grounded_subgoal` | str           | Grounded language annotation    |
+| `episode_index`    | int           | Episode ID                      |
+| `frame_index`      | int           | Frame within episode            |
+
+### Feature key alignment (training)
+
+The env wrapper exposes `pixels/image` and `pixels/wrist_image` as observation keys. The `features_map` in `RoboMMEEnv` maps these to `observation.images.image` and `observation.images.wrist_image` for the policy. State is exposed as `agent_pos` and maps to `observation.state`.
+
+The dataset's `image` and `wrist_image` columns already align with the policy input keys, so no renaming is needed when fine-tuning.
+
+## Action Spaces
+
+| Type          | Dim | Description                                               |
+| ------------- | --- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `joint_angle` | 8   | 7 joint angles + 1 gripper (−1 closed, +1 open, absolute) |
+| `ee_pose`     | 7   | xyz + roll/pitch/yaw + gripper                            |
+
+Set via `--env.action_space=joint_angle` (default) or `--env.action_space=ee_pose`.
+
+## Platform Notes
+
+- **Linux only**: ManiSkill requires SAPIEN/Vulkan. macOS and Windows are not supported.
+- **GPU recommended**: Rendering is CPU-capable but slow; CUDA + Vulkan gives full speed.
+- **gymnasium / numpy conflict**: See installation note above. Docker image handles this automatically.
+- **ManiSkill fork**: `robomme` depends on a specific ManiSkill fork (`YinpeiDai/ManiSkill`), pulled in automatically via the `robomme` package.

+
+## Available tasks
+
+RoboTwin 2.0 ships 50 dual-arm manipulation tasks in its upstream `envs/` directory. The canonical list is the `ROBOTWIN_TASKS` tuple in `src/lerobot/envs/robotwin.py`, mirrored verbatim from the upstream repo. Example tasks:
+
+| Task                     | CLI name                 | Category          |
+| ------------------------ | ------------------------ | ----------------- |
+| Beat block with hammer   | `beat_block_hammer`      | Tool use          |
+| Click bell / alarm clock | `click_bell`             | Precision press   |
+| Stack blocks (2 / 3)     | `stack_blocks_two/three` | Stacking          |
+| Stack bowls (2 / 3)      | `stack_bowls_two/three`  | Stacking          |
+| Handover block / mic     | `handover_block`         | Bimanual coord.   |
+| Lift pot                 | `lift_pot`               | Bimanual lift     |
+| Shake bottle             | `shake_bottle`           | Continuous motion |
+| Turn switch              | `turn_switch`            | Articulated obj   |
+| Stamp seal               | `stamp_seal`             | Precision place   |
+| Scan object              | `scan_object`            | Mobile manip.     |
+
+Pass a comma-separated list to `--env.task` to run multiple tasks in a single eval sweep.
+
+<Tip warning={true}>
+  `open_laptop` is currently broken upstream (its `check_success()` uses
+  `self.arm_tag`, which is only set inside the scripted-expert `play_once()`
+  path and therefore unavailable during normal policy eval). Avoid it until the
+  upstream bug is fixed, or patch the task to default `self.arm_tag = "left"` in
+  `load_actors()`.
+</Tip>
+
+## Dataset
+
+The RoboTwin 2.0 dataset is available in **LeRobot v3.0 format** on the Hugging Face Hub:
+
+```
+lerobot/robotwin_unified
+```
+
+It contains over 100,000 pre-collected trajectories across all 50 tasks (79.6 GB, Apache 2.0 license). No format conversion is needed — it is already in the correct LeRobot v3.0 schema with video observations and action labels.
+
+You can load it directly with the HF Datasets library:
+
+```python
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+ds = load_dataset("lerobot/robotwin_unified", split="train")
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+RoboTwin 2.0 requires **Linux** with an NVIDIA GPU (CUDA 12.1 recommended). Installation takes approximately 20 minutes.
+
+### 1. Create a conda environment
+
+```bash
+conda create -n robotwin python=3.10 -y
+conda activate robotwin
+```
+
+### 2. Install LeRobot
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git
+cd lerobot
+pip install -e "."
+```
+
+### 3. Install RoboTwin 2.0
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/RoboTwin-Platform/RoboTwin.git
+cd RoboTwin
+bash script/_install.sh
+bash script/_download_assets.sh
+```
+
+The install script handles all Python dependencies including SAPIEN, CuRobo, mplib, and pytorch3d.
+
+<Tip warning={true}>
+If the automated install fails, install manually:
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+pip install "git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d.git@stable"
+cd envs && git clone https://github.com/NVlabs/curobo.git && cd curobo
+pip install -e . --no-build-isolation
+```
+
+Then apply the required mplib fix: in `mplib/planner.py` line 807, remove `or collide` from the conditional.
+
+</Tip>
+
+### 4. Add RoboTwin to PYTHONPATH
+
+The RoboTwin task modules must be importable by LeRobot. From within the `RoboTwin/` directory:
+
+```bash
+export PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:$(pwd)"
+```
+
+Add this to your shell profile to make it permanent.
+
+## Evaluation
+
+### Standard evaluation (recommended)
+
+Evaluate a policy on a single task with the official protocol (100 episodes):
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-hf-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=robotwin \
+  --env.task=beat_block_hammer \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=100
+```
+
+### Single-task quick check
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-hf-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=robotwin \
+  --env.task=beat_block_hammer \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=5
+```
+
+### Multi-task sweep
+
+Evaluate on several tasks in one run:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-hf-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=robotwin \
+  --env.task=beat_block_hammer,click_bell,handover_block,stack_blocks_two \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=100
+```
+
+### Full benchmark (all 50 tasks)
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-hf-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=robotwin \
+  --env.task=adjust_bottle,beat_block_hammer,blocks_ranking_rgb,blocks_ranking_size,click_alarmclock,click_bell,dump_bin_bigbin,grab_roller,handover_block,handover_mic,hanging_mug,lift_pot,move_can_pot,move_pillbottle_pad,move_playingcard_away,move_stapler_pad,open_microwave,pick_diverse_bottles,pick_dual_bottles,place_a2b_left,place_a2b_right,place_bread_basket,place_bread_skillet,place_burger_fries,place_can_basket,place_cans_plasticbox,place_container_plate,place_dual_shoes,place_empty_cup,place_fan,place_mouse_pad,place_object_basket,place_object_scale,place_object_stand,place_phone_stand,place_shoe,press_stapler,put_bottles_dustbin,put_object_cabinet,rotate_qrcode,scan_object,shake_bottle,shake_bottle_horizontally,stack_blocks_three,stack_blocks_two,stack_bowls_three,stack_bowls_two,stamp_seal,turn_switch \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=100
+```
+
+<Tip>
+  `open_laptop` is intentionally omitted above because of the upstream
+  `self.arm_tag` bug (see the **Available tasks** section). Re-add it once the
+  upstream fix lands.
+</Tip>
+
+## Camera configuration
+
+By default, all three cameras are included:
+
+| Camera key     | Description                    |
+| -------------- | ------------------------------ |
+| `head_camera`  | Torso-mounted overhead view    |
+| `left_camera`  | Left arm wrist-mounted camera  |
+| `right_camera` | Right arm wrist-mounted camera |
+
+To use a subset of cameras, override `--env.camera_names`:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-hf-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=robotwin \
+  --env.task=beat_block_hammer \
+  --env.camera_names="head_camera,left_camera" \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10
+```

+# Real-Time Chunking (RTC)
+
+Real-Time Chunking (RTC) is an inference-time method that allows large, flow-matching based robotic policies, such as [Pi0](./pi0), [Pi0.5](./pi05), and [SmolVLA](./smolvla), to produce smooth, continuous, and reactive motion despite having high inference latency.
+
+These policies generate chunks of future actions (e.g., 50 steps at a time) instead of single actions.
+Because the models are large, producing each chunk takes longer than the time it takes the robot to execute it.
+Naively executing chunks leads to problems such as pauses, jerky transitions, or sudden changes in strategy whenever the next chunk arrives late or disagrees with the previously executed actions.
+
+RTC solves this by asynchronously generating the next chunk while the robot continues executing the current one, and by guiding the new chunk so it aligns smoothly with the portion of the previous chunk that has already been executed.
+
+## How RTC Works (simplified)
+
+RTC lets the robot think ahead while it’s still moving. When the robot is carrying out one chunk of actions, RTC starts creating the next chunk early.
+But since the robot has already moved a bit by the time the new chunk is ready, RTC has to make sure the new chunk still lines up smoothly with what the robot is currently doing.
+
+To do this, RTC treats the beginning of the new chunk like an inpainting or “fill-in-the-gaps” problem:
+it gently adjusts the first part of the new chunk so it blends naturally with the robot’s ongoing motion. The result is no pauses, no sudden jumps.
+
+In technical terms, RTC adds a guidance term to the flow-matching denoising process that forces the overlapping timesteps of the new chunk to stay close to the executed portion of the previous chunk, typically using a soft transition mask.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Installation
+
+RTC is built into LeRobot. Just install the policy dependencies you need:
+
+```bash
+# For Pi0 or Pi0.5
+pip install -e ".[pi]"
+
+# For SmolVLA
+pip install -e ".[smolvla]"
+```
+
+### Using RTC with Pi0
+
+You can use `lerobot-rollout --strategy.type=base --inference.type=rtc` for RTC deployment on real robots.
+The snippet below provides a simplified pseudo-example of how RTC operates with Pi0 in your pipeline:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.policies.pi0 import PI0Policy, PI0Config
+from lerobot.configs import RTCAttentionSchedule
+from lerobot.policies.rtc import RTCConfig, ActionQueue
+
+# Load Pi0 with RTC enabled
+policy_cfg = PI0Config()
+
+# Enable RTC
+policy_cfg.rtc_config = RTCConfig(
+    enabled=True,
+    execution_horizon=10,  # How many steps to blend with previous chunk
+    max_guidance_weight=10.0,  # How strongly to enforce consistency
+    prefix_attention_schedule=RTCAttentionSchedule.EXP,  # Exponential blend
+)
+
+# Load the policy
+policy = PI0Policy.from_pretrained("lerobot/pi0_base", policy_cfg=policy_cfg, device="cuda")
+
+# Now use predict_action_chunk with RTC parameters
+inference_delay = 4  # How many steps of inference latency, this values should be calculated based on the inference latency of the policy
+
+# Initialize the action queue
+action_queue = ActionQueue(policy_cfg.rtc_config)
+
+# Start in a separate thread with the following function
+def get_actions():
+  while True:
+    if should_get_actions:
+
+      prev_actions = action_queue.get_left_over()
+      obs = get_robot_observations(robot)
+
+      # Generate actions WITH RTC
+      actions = policy.predict_action_chunk(
+          obs,
+          inference_delay=inference_delay,
+          prev_chunk_left_over=prev_actions,
+      )
+
+      action_queue.merge(
+          actions, actions, inference_delay
+      )
+
+for step in range(num_steps):
+    action = action_queue.get()
+
+    # Execute the first N actions
+    execute_actions(action)
+```
+
+## Key Parameters
+
+`RTCConfig` has the following parameters to tune:
+
+**`execution_horizon`**: How many timesteps from the previous chunk to maintain consistency with. Higher values mean smoother transitions but potentially less reactivity.
+
+Typical values: 8-12 steps
+
+```python
+RTCConfig(execution_horizon=10)
+```
+
+**`max_guidance_weight`**: How strongly to enforce consistency with the previous chunk. This is a hyperparameter that can be tuned to balance the smoothness of the transitions and the reactivity of the policy. For 10 steps flow matching (SmolVLA, Pi0, Pi0.5), a value of 10.0 is a optimal value.
+
+**`prefix_attention_schedule`**: How to weight consistency across the overlap region.
+
+- `LINEAR`: Linear decay from inference_delay to execution_horizon
+- `EXP`: Exponential decay (recommended for getting started)
+- `ONES`: Full weight across entire execution_horizon
+- `ZEROS`: Binary (full weight up to inference_delay, then zero)
+
+**`inference_delay`**: How many timesteps of inference latency your system has. This is passed to `predict_action_chunk()` rather than the config, since it may vary at runtime.
+
+## Testing RTC Offline
+
+Before running on a real robot, test RTC with dataset samples to visualize how it works:
+
+```bash
+python examples/rtc/eval_dataset.py \
+    --policy.path=lerobot/pi0_libero_finetuned \
+    --dataset.repo_id=HuggingFaceVLA/libero \
+    --rtc.execution_horizon=10 \
+    --rtc.max_guidance_weight=10.0 \
+    --device=cuda
+```
+
+The script generates a visualization of the denoising process, comparing standard generation (left) with RTC (right). In the RTC plots, you can see how the first few steps (blue/purple lines) are guided to match the red ground truth trajectory (previous chunk's tail), ensuring a smooth transition between chunks.

+    alt="Denoising steps with and without RTC"
+    width="100%"
+  />
+</p>
+
+## Testing RTC with a Real Robot
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+    --strategy.type=base \
+    --policy.path=${HF_USERNAME}/policy_repo_id \
+    --inference.type=rtc \
+    --inference.rtc.execution_horizon=10 \
+    --inference.rtc.max_guidance_weight=10.0 \
+    --robot.type=so100_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58FA0834591 \
+    --robot.cameras="{ gripper: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 1, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}, front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
+    --task="Move green small object into the purple platform" \
+    --duration=120 \
+    --device=cuda
+```
+
+## How It Differs from the Async Inference in LeRobot
+
+Both RTC and [async inference](./async) improve real-time robot control, but they solve different problems.
+
+| Aspect        | Async Inference                                                            | RTC                                                 |
+| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Problem**   | Idle frames while waiting for inference                                    | Discontinuities between action chunks               |
+| **Solution**  | Decouple prediction from execution                                         | Guide new chunks to continue smoothly from previous |
+| **Benefit**   | No waiting, continuous action                                              | Smooth transitions, natural motion                  |
+| **Best Used** | Async inference is best used with large models with high inference latency | Flow-matching based policies                        |
+
+**Use both together** for maximum smoothness and reactivity!
+
+## Advanced: Debug Tracking
+
+RTC includes built-in debug tracking to help you understand what's happening during inference:
+
+```python
+# Enable debug tracking
+policy_cfg.rtc_config.debug = True
+policy_cfg.rtc_config.debug_maxlen = 100
+
+# After inference, access debug data
+debug_data = policy.rtc_processor.get_debug_data()
+
+# Visualize denoising steps, corrections, etc.
+from lerobot.policies.rtc.debug_visualizer import RTCDebugVisualizer
+visualizer = RTCDebugVisualizer()
+# ... create plots
+```
+
+See `examples/rtc/eval_dataset.py` for a complete example of offline RTC visualization.

+# SARM: Stage-Aware Reward Modeling
+
+SARM (Stage-Aware Reward Modeling) is a video-based reward modeling framework for long-horizon robot manipulation tasks. This guide covers how to train SARM reward models and optionally use them with Reward-Aligned Behavior Cloning (RA-BC).
+
+**Paper**: [SARM: Stage-Aware Reward Modeling for Long Horizon Robot Manipulation](https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.25358)
+
+<img
+  src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/lerobot/lerobot-sarm.png"
+  alt="An overview of SARM"
+  width="80%"
+/>
+
+## Why Reward Models?
+
+Standard behavior cloning treats all demonstration frames equally, but real-world robot datasets are messy. They contain hesitations, corrections, and variable-quality trajectories. Reward models solve this by learning a generalizable notion of **task progress** from demonstrations: given video frames and a task description, they predict how close the robot is to completing the task (0→1). This learned "progress signal" can be used in multiple ways, two promising applications are: (1) **weighted imitation learning** (RA-BC), where high-progress frames receive more weight during policy training, and (2) **reinforcement learning**, where the reward model provides dense rewards for online or offline policy improvement.
+
+## Overview
+
+SARM has following features:
+
+1. **Stage-aware architecture**: Jointly predicts the high-level task stage and fine-grained progress within each stage
+2. **Subtask annotations**: Uses natural language subtask annotations to derive consistent progress labels
+3. **Temporal proportions**: Computes dataset-level priors (α̅\_k) for each subtask to normalize progress across variable-length demonstrations
+
+SARM trains on a compact **stage+tau** target for each frame:
+
+- **stage**: integer stage index `k ∈ {0, ..., K-1}`
+- **τ (tau)**: within-stage progress `τ ∈ [0, 1]`
+- **target encoding**: `y = k + τ` (this is what the dataset processor produces)
+
+At inference time (and in downstream RA-BC), SARM converts the raw `k + τ` value into a **normalized progress** in `[0, 1]` using dataset-level **temporal proportions** `α̅_k` (stored in `meta/temporal_proportions_*.json`).
+
+This matches **Formula (2)** from the paper:
+
+```
+progress_t = P_{k-1} + α̅_k × τ_t
+```
+
+Where:
+
+- `τ_t = (t - s_k) / (e_k - s_k)` is within-subtask normalized time
+- `P_{k-1}` is cumulative prior (sum of previous subtask proportions)
+- `α̅_k` is the temporal proportion for subtask k
+
+This ensures identical task states map to consistent progress values, even across demonstrations of different lengths.
+
+## Inputs and Targets (What the new code expects)
+
+SARM is trained through its processor (`src/lerobot/rewards/sarm/processor_sarm.py`), which:
+
+- **Encodes** images and task text with CLIP (ViT-B/32) into `video_features` and `text_features`
+- **Pads/truncates** robot state into `state_features` (up to `max_state_dim`)
+- **Builds targets** as `sparse_targets` (and `dense_targets` in `dense_only`/`dual`) using the stage+tau encoding `y = k + τ`
+- **Masks rewind frames** using a per-sample `lengths` tensor (rewind is a training-time augmentation)
+
+At minimum, each training sample needs:
+
+- `task` (string): task description
+- `policy.image_key` images and `policy.state_key` states from the dataset
+
+---
+
+## Annotation Modes
+
+You can choose from **3 annotation modes** that determine how progress labels are computed:
+
+| Mode           | Annotations Required | Heads                        | Use Case                                                     |
+| -------------- | -------------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `single_stage` | None                 | Sparse only                  | Simple tasks, quick experiments, no VLM needed               |
+| `dense_only`   | Dense (VLM)          | Dual (sparse auto-generated) | Detailed subtask tracking without defining high-level stages |
+| `dual`         | Sparse + Dense (VLM) | Dual                         | Full SARM paper setup with both granularities                |
+
+### Mode Details
+
+<hfoptions id="mode_explanation">
+<hfoption id="single_stage">
+
+**No annotations required.** The entire episode is treated as a single stage called `"task"`, and progress is linear from 0 to 1 over the episode duration.
+
+- **Sparse head**: 1 stage ("task"), linear progress
+- **Dense head**: Not used
+- **Best for**: Simple tasks, quick experiments, or when VLM annotation is not available

+<hfoption id="dense_only">
+
+**Only dense (fine-grained) annotations from a VLM.** The sparse head automatically uses a single `"task"` stage covering the full episode, while the dense head learns detailed subtask progression.

+
+## Step 4: Visualize Predictions
+
+Use `compute_rabc_weights.py` with `--visualize-only` to visualize model predictions (and, if available, annotation-derived targets) without writing a parquet file.
+
+<hfoptions id="viz_mode">
+<hfoption id="single_stage">
+
+```bash
+python -m lerobot.rewards.sarm.compute_rabc_weights \
+  --dataset-repo-id your-username/your-dataset \
+  --reward-model-path your-username/sarm-model \
+  --visualize-only \
+  --num-visualizations 5 \
+  --head-mode sparse \

+```
+
+</hfoption>
+<hfoption id="dense_only">

+  --reward-model-path your-username/sarm-model \
+  --visualize-only \
+  --num-visualizations 5 \
+  --head-mode dense \
+  --output-dir ./sarm_viz
+```
+
+</hfoption>
+<hfoption id="dual">

+  --visualize-only \
+  --num-visualizations 5 \
+  --head-mode both \
+  --output-dir ./sarm_viz
+```
+
+</hfoption>
+</hfoptions>
+
+The visualization shows:
+
+- **Progress plot**: Predicted progress (and optional annotation-derived “GT” when available and `--stride 1`)
+- **Stage probabilities**: Stacked area plot of predicted stage probabilities
+- **Sample frames**: Key frames from the episode with progress/stage labels
+
+### Visualization Arguments
+
+| Argument               | Description                                               |
+| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--visualize-only`     | Only visualize predictions (no RABC computation)          |
+| `--num-visualizations` | Number of episodes to visualize (default: 5)              |
+| `--head-mode`          | SARM head to use: `sparse`, `dense`, or `both`            |
+| `--stride`             | Compute every N frames, interpolate the rest (default: 1) |
+
+---
+
+## Step 5 (Optional): Train Policy with RA-BC
+
+Reward-Aligned Behavior Cloning (RA-BC) uses the trained SARM model to weight training samples based on predicted progress improvement. This requires two steps:
+
+1. **Precompute progress values** for all frames using the trained SARM model
+2. **Train policy** with RA-BC weighting using the precomputed values
+
+### How RA-BC Works
+
+For each training sample, RA-BC computes the progress delta:
+
+```
+r_i = φ(o_{t+Δ}) - φ(o_t)
+```
+
+Where `φ` is the SARM progress prediction and `Δ` is the policy's `chunk_size`. Samples with positive progress (good demonstrations) get higher weights, while samples with negative or zero progress get down-weighted.
+
+The weighting follows **Equations 8-9** from the paper:
+
+- **Soft weight**: `w̃_i = clip((r_i − (μ − 2σ)) / (4σ + ε), 0, 1)`
+- **Final weight**: `w_i = 𝟙{r_i > κ} + 𝟙{0 ≤ r_i ≤ κ} × w̃_i`
+
+### Step 5a: Compute SARM Progress Values
+
+First, run the SARM model on all frames in your dataset to compute progress values:
+
+```bash
+python -m lerobot.rewards.sarm.compute_rabc_weights \
+  --dataset-repo-id your-username/your-dataset \
+  --reward-model-path your-username/sarm-model \
+  --head-mode sparse \
+  --num-visualizations 5 \
+  --push-to-hub
+```
+
+This script:
+
+- Processes all frames and computes progress values
+- Saves progress values to a parquet file next to the dataset on disk (defaults to `<dataset_root>/sarm_progress.parquet`)
+- Generates visualizations of the first N episodes (default: 5)
+
+**Arguments:**
+
+| Argument               | Description                                                    | Default    |
+| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- |
+| `--reward-model-path`  | Path to trained SARM model                                     | (required) |
+| `--head-mode`          | SARM head to use: `sparse`, `dense`, or `both`                 | `sparse`   |
+| `--device`             | Device for inference                                           | `cuda`     |
+| `--visualize-only`     | Only visualize predictions (no RA-BC computation)              | `false`    |
+| `--num-visualizations` | Number of episodes to visualize (default: 5, set to 0 to skip) | `5`        |
+
+**Output format** (`sarm_progress.parquet`):
+
+| Column            | Description                                    |
+| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| `index`           | Global frame index in dataset                  |
+| `episode_index`   | Episode number                                 |
+| `frame_index`     | Local frame index within episode               |
+| `progress_sparse` | Sparse head progress value [0, 1]              |
+| `progress_dense`  | Dense head progress value [0, 1] (if computed) |
+
+### Step 5b: Train Policy with RA-BC
+
+Once you have the progress file, train your policy with RA-BC weighting. The progress file is auto-detected from the dataset path (`sarm_progress.parquet`) if not explicitly provided. Currently PI0, PI0.5 and SmolVLA are supported with RA-BC:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=your-username/your-dataset \
+  --policy.type=pi0 \
+  --sample_weighting.type=rabc \
+  --sample_weighting.head_mode=sparse \
+  --sample_weighting.kappa=0.01 \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/policy_rabc \
+  --batch_size=32 \
+  --steps=40000
+```
+
+The training script automatically:
+
+- Loads the precomputed progress values from the parquet file
+- Uses the policy's `chunk_size` to compute progress deltas (Δ)
+- Computes sample weights based on progress improvement
+- Applies weighted loss during training
+
+**RA-BC Arguments:**
+
+| Argument                           | Description                                            | Default                 |
+| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------- |
+| `--sample_weighting.type`          | Weighting strategy type (`rabc` or `uniform`)          | `rabc`                  |
+| `--sample_weighting.progress_path` | Path to progress parquet file                          | `sarm_progress.parquet` |
+| `--sample_weighting.head_mode`     | Which SARM head's progress to use: `sparse` or `dense` | `sparse`                |
+| `--sample_weighting.kappa`         | Threshold κ for high-quality samples                   | `0.01`                  |
+| `--sample_weighting.epsilon`       | Small constant for numerical stability                 | `1e-6`                  |
+
+### Tuning RA-BC Kappa
+
+The `kappa` parameter is the threshold that determines which samples get full weight (w=1). Understanding how to tune it is critical for RA-BC to work effectively.
+
+**How the weighting works:**
+
+| Condition           | Weight                  |
+| ------------------- | ----------------------- |
+| `delta > kappa`     | 1.0 (hard threshold)    |
+| `0 ≤ delta ≤ kappa` | Soft weight from Eq. 8  |
+| `delta < 0`         | 0.0 (negative progress) |
+
+**Diagnosing kappa issues:**
+
+Monitor these WandB metrics during training:
+
+| Metric                        | Healthy Range | Problem Indicator         |
+| ----------------------------- | ------------- | ------------------------- |
+| `sample_weight_mean_weight`   | 0.3 - 0.8     | ≈ 1.0 means kappa too low |
+| `sample_weighting/delta_mean` | > 0           | Should be positive        |
+| `sample_weighting/delta_std`  | > 0           | Variance in data quality  |
+
+**If `sample_weight_mean_weight ≈ 1.0`:** Your kappa is too low. Most samples have `delta > kappa` and bypass the soft-weighting entirely. RA-BC becomes equivalent to vanilla BC.
+
+**Setting kappa based on your data:**
+
+The default `kappa=0.01` was tuned for the paper's T-shirt folding task (~90s episodes at 30fps). For your dataset, check the logged `sample_weighting/delta_mean` and `sample_weighting/delta_std`:
+
+```
+# If delta_mean ≈ 0.03 and delta_std ≈ 0.02:
+# Most deltas fall in range [0.01, 0.05]
+
+# Option 1: Set kappa = delta_mean (medium selectivity)
+--sample_weighting.kappa=0.03
+
+# Option 2: Set kappa = delta_mean + delta_std (high selectivity)
+--sample_weighting.kappa=0.05
+
+# Option 3: Set kappa = delta_mean + 2*delta_std (very selective)
+--sample_weighting.kappa=0.07
+```
+
+**When RA-BC may not help:**
+
+If your dataset is already high quality (consistent progress across all demonstrations), RA-BC won't provide much benefit since there's nothing to filter.
+
+### Multi-GPU Training with RA-BC
+
+```bash
+accelerate launch \
+  --multi_gpu \
+  --num_processes=4 \
+  src/lerobot/scripts/lerobot_train.py \
+  --dataset.repo_id=your-username/your-dataset \
+  --policy.type=pi0 \
+  --sample_weighting.type=rabc \
+  --sample_weighting.kappa=0.01 \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/policy_rabc \
+  --batch_size=32 \
+  --steps=40000
+```
+
+---
+
+## Tips & Best Practices
+
+### Choosing a Mode
+
+- **Start with `single_stage`** for quick experiments - no annotation overhead
+- Use **`dense_only`** when you want detailed progress tracking but tasks don't have clear high-level stages
+- Use **`dual`** for complex tasks where both coarse and fine-grained progress is meaningful
+
+### Annotation Quality
+
+1. **Be specific with subtask names**: Instead of "fold", use "grab near side and fold toward center"
+2. **Verify with visualization**: Always check a few episodes before training
+3. **Consistent naming**: Use the same subtask names across all episodes
+
+### RA-BC
+
+1. **Train SARM first**: RA-BC quality depends entirely on SARM quality
+2. **Monitor `sample_weight_mean_weight`**: If it's ≈ 1.0, increase kappa (see [Tuning RA-BC Kappa](#tuning-ra-bc-kappa))

+# Streaming Video Encoding Guide
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+Streaming video encoding eliminates the traditional PNG round-trip during video dataset recording. Instead of:
+
+1. Capture frame -> write PNG to disk -> (at episode end) read PNG's -> encode to MP4 -> delete PNG's
+
+Frames can be encoded in real-time during capture:
+
+1. Capture frame -> queue to encoder thread -> encode to MP4 directly
+
+This makes `save_episode()` near-instant (the video is already encoded by the time the episode ends) and removes the blocking wait that previously occurred between episodes, especially with multiple cameras in long episodes.
+
+## 2. Tuning Parameters
+
+| Parameter               | CLI Flag                          | Type          | Default       | Description                                                       |
+| ----------------------- | --------------------------------- | ------------- | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `streaming_encoding`    | `--dataset.streaming_encoding`    | `bool`        | `True`        | Enable real-time encoding during capture                          |
+| `vcodec`                | `--dataset.rgb_encoder.vcodec`    | `str`         | `"libsvtav1"` | Video codec. `"auto"` detects best HW encoder                     |
+| `encoder_threads`       | `--dataset.encoder_threads`       | `int \| None` | `None` (auto) | Threads per encoder instance. `None` will leave the vcoded decide |
+| `encoder_queue_maxsize` | `--dataset.encoder_queue_maxsize` | `int`         | `30`          | Max buffered frames per camera (~1s at 30fps). Consumes RAM       |
+
+## 3. Performance Considerations
+
+Streaming encoding means the CPU is encoding video **during** the capture loop, not after. This creates a CPU budget that must be shared between:
+
+- **Control loop** (reading cameras, control the robot, writing non-video data)
+- **Encoder threads** (one pool per camera)
+- **Rerun visualization** (if enabled)
+- **OS and other processes**
+
+### Resolution & Number of Cameras Impact
+
+| Setup                     | Throughput (px/sec) | CPU Encoding Load | Notes                          |
+| ------------------------- | ------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------ |
+| 2camsx 640x480x3 @30fps   | 55M                 | Low               | Works on most systems          |
+| 2camsx 1280x720x3 @30fps  | 165M                | Moderate          | Comfortable on modern systems  |
+| 2camsx 1920x1080x3 @30fps | 373M                | High              | Requires powerful high-end CPU |
+
+### `encoder_threads` Tuning
+
+This parameter controls how many threads each encoder instance uses internally:
+
+- **Higher values** (e.g., 4-5): Faster encoding, but uses more CPU cores per camera. Good for high-end systems with many cores.
+- **Lower values** (e.g., 1-2): Less CPU per camera, freeing cores for capture and visualization. Good for low-res images and capable CPUs.
+- **`None` (default)**: Lets the codec decide. Information available in the codec logs.
+
+### Backpressure and Frame Dropping
+
+Each camera has a bounded queue (`encoder_queue_maxsize`, default 30 frames). When the encoder can't keep up:
+
+1. The queue fills up (consuming RAM)
+2. New frames are **dropped** (not blocked) — the capture loop continues uninterrupted
+3. A warning is logged: `"Encoder queue full for {camera}, dropped N frame(s)"`
+4. At episode end, total dropped frames per camera are reported
+
+### Symptoms of Encoder Falling Behind
+
+- **System feels laggy and freezes**: all CPUs are at 100%
+- **Dropped frame warnings** in the log or lower frames/FPS than expected in the recorded dataset
+- **Choppy robot movement**: If CPU is severely overloaded, even the capture loop may be affected
+- **Accumulated rerun lag**: Visualization falls behind real-time
+
+## 4. Hardware-Accelerated Encoding
+
+### When to Use
+
+Use HW encoding when:
+
+- CPU is the bottleneck (dropped frames, choppy robot, rerun lag)
+- You have compatible hardware (GPU or dedicated encoder)
+- You're recording at high throughput (high resolution or with many cameras)
+
+### Choosing a Codec
+
+| Codec                 | CPU Usage | File Size      | Quality | Notes                                                            |
+| --------------------- | --------- | -------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `libsvtav1` (default) | High      | Smallest       | Best    | Default. Best compression but most CPU-intensive                 |
+| `h264`                | Medium    | ~30-50% larger | Good    | Software H.264. Lower CPU                                        |
+| HW encoders           | Very Low  | Largest        | Good    | Offloads to dedicated hardware. Best for CPU-constrained systems |
+
+### Available HW Encoders
+
+| Encoder             | Platform      | Hardware                                                                                         | CLI Value                                        |

+
+> [!NOTE]
+> In order to use the HW accelerated encoders you might need to upgrade your GPU drivers.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> `libsvtav1` is the default because it provides the best training performance; other vcodecs can reduce CPU usage and be faster, but they typically produce larger files and may affect training time.

+
+These estimates are conservative; we recommend testing them on your setup—start with a low load and increase it gradually.
+
+### High-End Systems: modern 12+ cores (24+ threads)
+
+A throughput between ~250-500M px/sec should be comfortable in CPU. For even better results try HW encoding if available.
+
+```bash
+# 3camsx 1280x720x3 @30fps: Defaults work well. Optionally increase encoder parallelism.
+# 2camsx 1920x1080x3 @30fps: Defaults work well. Optionally increase encoder parallelism.
+lerobot-record --dataset.encoder_threads=5 ...
+
+# 3camsx 1920x1080x3 @30fps: Might require some tuning.
+```
+
+### Mid-Range Systems: modern 8+ cores (16+ threads) or Apple Silicon
+
+A throughput between ~80-300M px/sec should be possible in CPU.
+
+```bash
+# 3camsx 640x480x3 @30fps: Defaults work well. Optionally decrease encoder parallelism.
+# 2camsx 1280x720x3 @30fps: Defaults work well. Optionally decrease encoder parallelism.
+lerobot-record --dataset.encoder_threads=2 ...
+
+# 2camsx 1920x1080x3 @30fps: Might require some tuning.
+```
+
+### Low-Resource Systems: modern 4+ cores (8+ threads) or Raspberry Pi 5
+
+On very constrained systems, streaming encoding may compete too heavily with the capture loop. Disabling it falls back to the PNG-based approach where encoding happens between episodes (blocking, but doesn't interfere with capture). Alternatively, record at a lower throughput to reduce both capture and encoding load. Consider also changing codec to `h264` and using batch encoding.
+
+```bash
+# 2camsx 640x480x3 @30fps: Requires some tuning.
+
+# Use H.264, disable streaming, consider batching encoding
+lerobot-record --dataset.rgb_encoder.vcodec=h264 --dataset.streaming_encoding=false ...
+```
+
+## 7. Closing note
+
+Performance ultimately depends on your exact setup — frames-per-second, resolution, CPU cores and load, available memory, episode length, and the encoder you choose. Always test with your target workload, be mindful about your CPU & system capabilities and tune `encoder_threads`, `encoder_queue_maxsize`, and
+`vcodec` reasonably. That said, a common practical configuration (for many applications) is three cameras at 640×480x3 @30fps; this usually runs fine with the default streaming video encoding settings in modern systems. Always verify your recorded dataset is healthy by comparing the video duration to the CLI episode duration and confirming the row count equals FPS × CLI duration.

+# Tools
+
+LeRobot v3.1 supports **tool calls** in policies — assistant messages can
+emit structured invocations like `say(text="OK, starting now")` that the
+runtime dispatches to a real implementation (TTS, controller, logger, …).
+
+This page covers:
+
+1. Where the tool catalog lives.
+2. How the annotation pipeline produces tool-call atoms.
+3. How to add your own tool.
+
+## Where tools are declared
+
+Two layers.
+
+**The catalog** — a list of OpenAI-style function schemas — lives at
+`meta/info.json["tools"]` on each dataset. Example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "features": { "...": "..." },
+  "tools": [
+    {
+      "type": "function",
+      "function": {
+        "name": "say",
+        "description": "Speak a short utterance to the user via the TTS executor.",
+        "parameters": {
+          "type": "object",
+          "properties": {
+            "text": {
+              "type": "string",
+              "description": "The verbatim text to speak."
+            }
+          },
+          "required": ["text"]
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Read it via the dataset metadata accessor:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.datasets.dataset_metadata import LeRobotDatasetMetadata
+
+meta = LeRobotDatasetMetadata(repo_id="pepijn/super_poulain_final_annotations")
+tools = meta.tools     # list[dict] — OpenAI tool schemas
+```
+
+If the dataset's `info.json` doesn't declare any tools, `meta.tools`
+returns `DEFAULT_TOOLS` from `lerobot.datasets.language` — currently a
+single-entry list with the canonical `say` schema. So unannotated
+datasets and chat-template consumers keep working without any
+configuration:
+
+```python
+prompt_str = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
+    sample["messages"],
+    tools=meta.tools,                 # works either way
+    add_generation_prompt=False,
+    tokenize=False,
+)
+```
+
+**The implementations** — runnable Python — will live under
+`src/lerobot/tools/`, one file per tool. The runtime dispatcher and
+the canonical `say` implementation (wrapping Kyutai's pocket-tts) are
+not part of the catalog layer described here; today this layer ships
+only the schema storage and the `DEFAULT_TOOLS` fallback constant.
+
+## Per-row tool _invocations_
+
+The catalog above describes _what can be called_. The actual _call_ — the
+function name plus the argument values — is stored per-row, on the
+assistant atoms in `language_events`:
+
+```python
+{
+  "role": "assistant",
+  "content": null,
+  "style": null,
+  "timestamp": 12.4,
+  "camera": null,
+  "tool_calls": [
+    { "type": "function",
+      "function": { "name": "say", "arguments": { "text": "On it." } } }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Recipes splice these into rendered messages via `tool_calls_from`:
+
+```yaml
+user_interjection_response:
+  bindings:
+    speech: "emitted_at(t, role=assistant, tool_name=say)"
+  messages:
+    - { role: user, content: "${task}", stream: high_level }
+    - {
+        role: assistant,
+        content: "${current_plan}",
+        stream: high_level,
+        target: true,
+        tool_calls_from: speech,
+      }
+```
+
+The model's training target is one assistant turn that carries both the
+plan text _and_ the `say` tool call. At inference, the runtime parses
+the generated text back into structured `tool_calls` and dispatches to
+the matching implementation.
+
+## How to add your own tool
+
+> **Note:** Steps 2 and 3 below describe the runtime layer
+> (`src/lerobot/tools/`, the `Tool` protocol, `TOOL_REGISTRY`,
+> `get_tools(meta)`) which is not part of the catalog layer shipped
+> today — those modules don't yet exist in the tree. Step 1 alone is
+> enough to make the tool visible to the chat template via
+> `meta.tools` so the model can learn to _generate_ the call;
+> executing the call at inference requires the runtime layer.
+
+Three steps. Concrete example: a `record_observation` tool the policy
+can call to capture an extra observation outside the regular control
+loop.
+
+### Step 1 — declare the schema
+
+Add an entry under `meta/info.json["tools"]`. Either edit the file
+directly on disk _before_ running the annotation pipeline (it'll be
+preserved) or hand it to `lerobot-annotate` via a config flag.
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": [
+    { "type": "function", "function": { "name": "say", "...": "..." } },
+    {
+      "type": "function",
+      "function": {
+        "name": "record_observation",
+        "description": "Capture a high-resolution still image for the user.",
+        "parameters": {
+          "type": "object",
+          "properties": {
+            "label": {
+              "type": "string",
+              "description": "Short label for the saved image."
+            }
+          },
+          "required": ["label"]
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+The schema follows OpenAI's function-calling convention exactly, so the
+chat template can render it natively.
+
+### Step 2 — implement the call
+
+Create `src/lerobot/tools/record_observation.py`:
+
+```python
+from .base import Tool
+from typing import Any
+
+RECORD_OBSERVATION_SCHEMA: dict[str, Any] = { "...": "..." }   # mirrors the JSON above
+
+
+class RecordObservationTool:
+    name = "record_observation"
+    schema = RECORD_OBSERVATION_SCHEMA
+
+    def __init__(self, schema: dict | None = None, output_dir: str = "."):
+        self.output_dir = output_dir
+
+    def call(self, arguments: dict) -> str:
+        label = arguments["label"]
+        # ... save the latest camera frame to <output_dir>/<label>.png ...
+        return f"saved {label}.png"
+```
+
+One file per tool keeps dependencies isolated — `record_observation`
+might pull `pillow`, while `say` pulls `pocket-tts`. Users installing
+only the tools they need avoid heavy transitive deps.
+
+### Step 3 — register it
+
+Add to `src/lerobot/tools/registry.py`:
+
+```python
+from .record_observation import RecordObservationTool
+
+TOOL_REGISTRY["record_observation"] = RecordObservationTool
+```
+
+That's it. At runtime `get_tools(meta)` looks up each schema in
+`meta.tools`, instantiates the matching registered class, and returns
+a name → instance dict the dispatcher can route into.
+
+If you want to use a tool _without_ writing an implementation (e.g. for
+training-time chat-template formatting only), step 1 alone is enough —
+the model still learns to _generate_ the call. Steps 2 and 3 are only
+needed to actually _execute_ it at inference.

+# TOPReward
+
+TOPReward is a **zero-shot reward model** that extracts token log-probabilities from an off-the-shelf vision-language model (VLM) as a robotic reward signal. Given a video trajectory and a task instruction, it returns the VLM's log-likelihood that the instruction is true — no fine-tuning required.
+
+**Paper**: [TOPReward: Token Probabilities as Hidden Zero-Shot Rewards for Robotics](https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.19313)
+**Project**: [topreward.github.io](https://topreward.github.io/webpage/)
+**Original code**: [github.com/TOPReward/TOPReward](https://github.com/TOPReward/TOPReward)
+**Default backbone**: [Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct)
+
+## Overview
+
+TOPReward asks a generic VLM how likely a task instruction is, **conditioned on the video** of a robot trying to complete that task. Concretely, given:
+
+- A trajectory video (a sequence of frames).
+- A task instruction (e.g. _"open the drawer"_).
+
+it builds a chat prompt of the form
+
+```text
+<video>
+"The above video shows a robot manipulation trajectory that completes the
+ following task: <instruction> Decide whether the above statement is True
+ or not. The answer is: True"
+```
+
+forwards it through the VLM, label-masks everything except the very last token, and reads back the log-probability of that token — by default the literal `"True"` that closes the suffix template. The resulting `log P("True" | video + prompt + instruction)` is the reward.
+
+Because the method only depends on a frozen VLM, TOPReward is **zero-shot**: there are no fine-tuned weights to host. The "model" in LeRobot is a small wrapper around `transformers`' `Qwen3VLForConditionalGeneration` plus the label-masking logic. The processor owns the tokeniser and builds the full chat prompt (EO-1/Robometer pattern).
+
+## What the LeRobot integration covers
+
+- Standard `reward_model.type=topreward` configuration through LeRobot.
+- VLM loading via the `transformers` `Qwen3VLForConditionalGeneration` API.
+- Prompt assembly + tokenisation in the processor (matching upstream `QwenClient.compute_instruction_reward`).
+- `compute_reward()` returns one scalar log-prob per sample.
+- LeRobot reward-model save/load — `save_pretrained` writes only `config.json` (the VLM is identified by `vlm_name`).
+- An offline labeling script that writes a `topreward_progress.parquet` (SARM-compatible schema) for RA-BC and overlay.
+
+The current LeRobot port supports the **Qwen3-VL client only**. Other upstream clients (Gemini, OpenAI, Gemma, Molmo) can be added as follow-up extras.
+
+## Installation Requirements
+
+1. Install LeRobot following the [Installation Guide](./installation).
+2. Install the TOPReward optional extra:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[topreward]"
+```
+
+or, with `uv` from a source checkout:
+
+```bash
+uv sync --extra topreward
+```
+
+This pulls in `transformers`. The first time you run TOPReward, Hugging Face will also download the VLM weights from the Hub (~16 GB for Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct). A GPU is strongly recommended.
+
+## Model Inputs and Outputs
+
+TOPReward expects:
+
+- A trajectory video or sequence of frames.
+- A natural-language task description.
+
+In LeRobot datasets the preprocessor reads:
+
+| Config field              | Default                     | Meaning                                       |
+| ------------------------- | --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
+| `reward_model.image_key`  | `observation.images.top`    | Camera observation used by TOPReward          |
+| `reward_model.task_key`   | `task`                      | Key in complementary data for the task string |
+| `reward_model.max_frames` | `16`                        | Cap on frames per sample                      |
+| `reward_model.fps`        | `2.0`                       | Metadata passed to the Qwen video processor   |
+| `reward_model.vlm_name`   | `Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct` | Hugging Face Hub id of the underlying VLM     |
+
+The model returns:
+
+- `compute_reward(batch)`: one log-probability per sample. Higher = better task-video alignment. When `success_threshold` is finite, returns the binary thresholded value instead.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Load the reward model directly
+
+```python
+from lerobot.rewards.topreward import TOPRewardConfig, TOPRewardModel
+
+cfg = TOPRewardConfig(
+    vlm_name="Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct",
+    device="cuda",
+)
+reward_model = TOPRewardModel(cfg)
+```
+
+### Use the reward factory
+
+```python
+from lerobot.rewards import make_reward_model, make_reward_model_config, make_reward_pre_post_processors
+
+cfg = make_reward_model_config(
+    "topreward",
+    vlm_name="Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct",
+    device="cuda",
+    image_key="observation.images.top",
+)
+reward_model = make_reward_model(cfg)
+preprocessor, postprocessor = make_reward_pre_post_processors(cfg)
+```
+
+The preprocessor tokenises the full prompt (video + prefix + instruction suffix), writes Qwen-VL tensors + `prompt_length` under `observation.topreward.*`. The model reads those tensors, label-masks based on `prompt_length`, and extracts the log-prob reward.
+
+### Offline dataset labeling
+
+Write a `topreward_progress.parquet` for RA-BC training and overlay videos:
+
+```bash
+# Sparse-dense (15 anchors per episode, matches upstream)
+uv run python -m lerobot.rewards.topreward.compute_rabc_weights \
+    --dataset-repo-id lerobot/libero_10_image \
+    --num-samples 15 \
+    --device cuda
+```
+
+Then render the progress overlay for any episode:
+
+```bash
+uv run examples/dataset/create_progress_videos.py \
+    --repo-id lerobot/libero_10_image \
+    --episode 0 \
+    --progress-file topreward_progress.parquet \
+    --gif
+```
+
+## Configuration Notes
+
+### Prompt knobs
+
+The default prompt mirrors the upstream paper:
+
+```text
+prompt_prefix = "The above video shows a robot manipulation trajectory that completes the following task: "
+prompt_suffix_template = "{instruction} Decide whether the above statement is True or not. The answer is: True"
+```
+
+Both are exposed on `TOPRewardConfig` for ablation. The suffix template **must** contain `{instruction}`.
+
+### Chat template
+
+`add_chat_template=True` wraps the full prompt (including instruction) with the tokenizer's chat template before tokenisation. Default is `False`, matching the upstream paper's main experiments.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- The current LeRobot port is **inference-only and zero-shot**; `forward()` is not overridden and `is_trainable` returns `False`.
+- Only the **Qwen3-VL family** is supported; other upstream clients are out of scope.
+- TOPReward inherits the underlying VLM's biases.

+# PyTorch accelerators
+
+LeRobot supports multiple hardware acceleration options for both training and inference.
+
+These options include:
+
+- **CPU**: CPU executes all computations, no dedicated accelerator is used
+- **CUDA**: acceleration with NVIDIA & AMD GPUs
+- **MPS**: acceleration with Apple Silicon GPUs
+- **XPU**: acceleration with Intel integrated and discrete GPUs
+
+## Getting Started
+
+To use particular accelerator, a suitable version of PyTorch should be installed.
+
+For CPU, CUDA, and MPS backends follow instructions provided on [PyTorch installation page](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally).
+For XPU backend, follow instructions from [PyTorch documentation](https://docs.pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/get_start_xpu.html).
+
+### Verifying the installation
+
+After installation, accelerator availability can be verified by running
+
+```python
+import torch
+print(torch.<backend_name>.is_available())  # <backend_name> is cuda, mps, or xpu
+```
+
+## How to run training or evaluation
+
+To select the desired accelerator, use the `--policy.device` flag when running `lerobot-train` or `lerobot-eval`. For example, to use MPS on Apple Silicon, run:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train
+    --policy.device=mps ...
+```
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+    --policy.device=mps ...
+```
+
+However, in most cases, presence of an accelerator is detected automatically and `policy.device` parameter can be omitted from CLI commands.

+  alt="Unitree G1 locomanipulation demo"
+  style={{ width: "100%" }}
+/>
+
+The Unitree G1 humanoid is now supported in LeRobot! You can teleoperate, train locomanipulation policies, test in sim, and more. Both 29 and 23 DoF variants are supported.
+
+---
+
+## Part 1: Getting Started
+
+### Install the Unitree SDK
+
+Follow the [unitree_sdk2_python installation guide](https://github.com/unitreerobotics/unitree_sdk2_python#installation). Tested with `unitree_sdk2py==1.0.1` and `cyclonedds==0.10.2`:
+
+```bash
+conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.12
+conda activate lerobot
+git clone https://github.com/unitreerobotics/unitree_sdk2_python.git
+cd unitree_sdk2_python
+pip install -e .
+cd ..
+```
+
+### Install LeRobot
+
+```bash
+conda install ffmpeg -c conda-forge
+conda install -c conda-forge "pinocchio>=3.0.0,<4.0.0"
+git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git
+cd lerobot
+pip install -e '.[unitree_g1]'
+```
+
+<Tip>
+  For now, pinocchio must be installed from conda-forge (not pip) to include the
+  CasADi bindings needed for arm IK.
+</Tip>
+
+### Test the Installation (Simulation)
+
+The simulation environment has its own dependencies. Check the Simulation environment dependencies: [Unitree G1 Mujoco EnvHub](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/unitree-g1-mujoco/tree/main).
+
+```bash
+pip install mujoco loguru msgpack msgpack-numpy
+```
+
+```bash
+lerobot-teleoperate \
+  --robot.type=unitree_g1 \
+  --robot.is_simulation=true \
+  --teleop.type=unitree_g1 \
+  --teleop.id=wbc_unitree \
+  --robot.cameras='{"global_view": {"type": "zmq", "server_address": "localhost", "port": 5555, "camera_name": "head_camera", "width": 640, "height": 480, "fps": 30, "warmup_s": 5}}' \
+  --display_data=true \
+  --robot.controller=GrootLocomotionController
+```
+
+This will launch a [MuJoCo sim instance](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/unitree-g1-mujoco/tree/main) for the G1. You can connect a gamepad to your machine before launching in order to control the robot's locomotion in sim. We support both [HolosomaLocomotionController](https://github.com/amazon-far/holosoma) and [GrootLocomotionController](https://github.com/NVlabs/GR00T-WholeBodyControl) via `--robot.controller`.
+
+- Press `9` to release the robot
+- Press `7` / `8` to increase / decrease waist height
+
+### Connect to the Physical Robot
+
+The G1's Ethernet IP is fixed at `192.168.123.164`. Your machine must have a static IP on the same subnet: `192.168.123.x` where `x ≠ 164`.
+
+```bash
+# Replace 'enp131s0' with your ethernet interface name (check with `ip a`)
+sudo ip addr flush dev enp131s0
+sudo ip addr add 192.168.123.200/24 dev enp131s0
+sudo ip link set enp131s0 up
+```
+
+### SSH into the Robot
+
+```bash
+ssh unitree@192.168.123.164
+# Password: 123
+```
+
+### Share Internet via Ethernet
+
+The G1 needs internet access to clone repos and install packages. Share your laptop's connection over Ethernet:
+
+**On your laptop:**
+
+```bash
+sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
+
+# Replace wlp132s0f0 with your WiFi interface name
+sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlp132s0f0 -s 192.168.123.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
+sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i wlp132s0f0 -o enp131s0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
+sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i enp131s0 -o wlp132s0f0 -j ACCEPT
+```
+
+**On the G1:**
+
+```bash
+sudo ip route del default 2>/dev/null || true
+sudo ip route add default via 192.168.123.200 dev eth0
+echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf
+
+# Verify
+ping -c 3 8.8.8.8
+```
+
+### Install the Unitree SDK on the G1
+
+Follow the [unitree_sdk2_python installation guide](https://github.com/unitreerobotics/unitree_sdk2_python#installation):
+
+```bash
+conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.12
+conda activate lerobot
+git clone https://github.com/unitreerobotics/unitree_sdk2_python.git
+cd unitree_sdk2_python
+python -m pip install -e .
+cd ..
+```
+
+### Install LeRobot on the G1
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git
+cd lerobot
+conda install -c conda-forge "pinocchio>=3.0.0,<4.0.0"
+python -m pip install -e '.[unitree_g1]'
+```
+
+<Tip>
+  For now, pinocchio must be installed from conda-forge (not pip) to include the
+  CasADi bindings needed for arm IK.
+</Tip>
+
+### (Optional) Enable WiFi on the Robot
+
+For wireless SSH access, you can enable WiFi on the G1 (it's blocked by default):
+
+```bash
+sudo rfkill unblock all
+sudo ip link set wlan0 up
+sudo nmcli radio wifi on
+sudo nmcli device set wlan0 managed yes
+sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
+```
+
+**Connect to a WiFi network:**
+
+```bash
+nmcli device wifi list
+
+sudo nmcli connection add type wifi ifname wlan0 con-name "YourNetwork" ssid "YourNetwork"
+sudo nmcli connection modify "YourNetwork" wifi-sec.key-mgmt wpa-psk
+sudo nmcli connection modify "YourNetwork" wifi-sec.psk "YourPassword"
+sudo nmcli connection modify "YourNetwork" connection.autoconnect yes
+sudo nmcli connection up "YourNetwork"
+
+ip a show wlan0
+```
+
+You can then SSH over WiFi instead of Ethernet:
+
+```bash
+ssh unitree@<ROBOT_WIFI_IP>
+# Password: 123
+```
+
+---
+
+## Part 2: Teleoperation & Locomotion
+
+### Run the Robot Server
+
+On the robot (from `~/lerobot`):
+
+```bash
+cd ~/lerobot
+python src/lerobot/robots/unitree_g1/run_g1_server.py --camera
+```
+
+### Run the Locomotion Policy
+
+You can run the teleoperation client from your laptop over Ethernet, over WiFi (experimental), or directly on the robot itself. Mind potential latency introduced by your network.
+
+**From your laptop:**
+
+```bash
+lerobot-teleoperate \
+  --robot.type=unitree_g1 \
+  --robot.is_simulation=false \
+  --robot.robot_ip=<ROBOT_IP> \
+  --teleop.type=unitree_g1 \
+  --teleop.id=wbc_unitree \
+  --robot.cameras='{"global_view": {"type": "zmq", "server_address": "<ROBOT_IP>", "port": 5555, "camera_name": "head_camera", "width": 640, "height": 480, "fps": 30}}' \
+  --display_data=true \
+  --robot.controller=HolosomaLocomotionController
+```
+
+We support both [GrootLocomotionController](https://github.com/NVlabs/GR00T-WholeBodyControl) and [HolosomaLocomotionController](https://github.com/amazon-far/holosoma) via `--robot.controller`.
+
+---
+
+## Part 3: Loco-Manipulation with the Homunculus Exoskeleton
+
+We provide a loco-manipulation solution via the Homunculus Exoskeleton — an open-source 7 DoF exoskeleton for whole-body control. Check it out [here](https://github.com/nepyope/hmc_exo).
+
+### Calibrate
+
+```bash
+lerobot-calibrate \
+  --teleop.type=unitree_g1 \
+  --teleop.left_arm_config.port=/dev/ttyACM1 \
+  --teleop.right_arm_config.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+  --teleop.id=exo
+```
+
+During calibration move each joint through its entire range. After fitting, move the joint in a neutral position and press `n` to advance.
+
+### Record a Dataset
+
+```bash
+lerobot-record \
+  --robot.type=unitree_g1 \
+  --robot.is_simulation=true \
+  --robot.cameras='{"global_view": {"type": "zmq", "server_address": "localhost", "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 \
+  --dataset.streaming_encoding=true \
+  --dataset.encoder_threads=2
+```
+
+> **Note:** Omit `--teleop.left_arm_config.port` and `--teleop.right_arm_config.port` if you're only using the joystick.
+
+Example dataset: [nepyope/unitree_box_move_blue_full](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nepyope/unitree_box_move_blue_full)
+
+---
+
+## Part 4: Training & Inference
+
+### Train
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/scripts/lerobot_train.py \
+  --dataset.repo_id=your-username/dataset-name  \
+  --policy.type=pi05 \
+  --output_dir=./outputs/pi05_training \
+  --job_name=pi05_training \
+  --policy.repo_id=your-username/your-repo-id \
+  --policy.pretrained_path=lerobot/pi05_base \
+  --policy.compile_model=true \
+  --policy.gradient_checkpointing=true \
+  --wandb.enable=true \
+  --policy.dtype=bfloat16 \
+  --policy.freeze_vision_encoder=false \
+  --policy.train_expert_only=false \
+  --steps=3000 \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --batch_size=32
+```
+
+### Inference with RTC
+
+Once trained, we recommend deploying policies using inference-time RTC:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+  --strategy.type=base \
+  --policy.path=your-username/your-repo-id \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --robot.type=unitree_g1 \
+  --robot.is_simulation=false \
+  --robot.controller=HolosomaLocomotionController \
+  --robot.cameras='{"global_view": {"type": "zmq", "server_address": "<ROBOT_IP>", "port": 5555, "camera_name": "head_camera", "width": 640, "height": 480, "fps": 30}}' \
+  --task="task_description" \
+  --duration=1000 \
+  --fps=30 \
+  --inference.type=rtc
+```

+# Using Dataset Tools
+
+This guide covers the dataset tools utilities available in LeRobot for modifying and editing existing datasets.
+
+## Overview
+
+LeRobot provides several utilities for manipulating datasets:
+
+1. **Delete Episodes** - Remove specific episodes from a dataset
+2. **Split Dataset** - Divide a dataset into multiple smaller datasets
+3. **Merge Datasets** - Combine multiple datasets into one. The datasets must have identical features, and episodes are concatenated in the order specified in `repo_ids`
+4. **Add Features** - Add new features to a dataset
+5. **Remove Features** - Remove features from a dataset
+6. **Convert to Video** - Convert image-based datasets to video format for efficient storage (RGB and depth cameras are encoded with separate encoders)
+7. **Re-encode Videos** - Re-encode an existing video dataset's RGB and/or depth streams with new encoder settings
+8. **Show the Info of Datasets** - Show the summary of datasets information such as number of episode etc.
+
+The core implementation is in `lerobot.datasets.dataset_tools`.
+An example script detailing how to use the tools API is available in `examples/dataset/use_dataset_tools.py`.
+
+## Command-Line Tool: lerobot-edit-dataset
+
+`lerobot-edit-dataset` is a command-line script for editing datasets. It can be used to delete episodes, split datasets, merge datasets, add features, remove features, and convert image datasets to video format.
+
+Run `lerobot-edit-dataset --help` for more information on the configuration of each operation.
+
+### Usage Examples
+
+#### Delete Episodes
+
+Remove specific episodes from a dataset. This is useful for filtering out undesired data.
+
+```bash
+# Delete episodes 0, 2, and 5 (modifies original dataset)
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht \
+    --operation.type delete_episodes \
+    --operation.episode_indices "[0, 2, 5]"
+
+# Delete episodes and save to a new dataset (preserves original dataset)
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht \
+    --new_repo_id lerobot/pusht_after_deletion \
+    --operation.type delete_episodes \
+    --operation.episode_indices "[0, 2, 5]"
+```
+
+#### Split Dataset
+
+Divide a dataset into multiple subsets.
+
+```bash
+# Split by fractions (e.g. 80% train, 20% test, 20% val)
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht \
+    --operation.type split \
+    --operation.splits '{"train": 0.8, "test": 0.2, "val": 0.2}'
+
+# Split by specific episode indices
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht \
+    --operation.type split \
+    --operation.splits '{"task1": [0, 1, 2, 3], "task2": [4, 5]}'
+```
+
+There are no constraints on the split names, they can be determined by the user. Resulting datasets are saved under the repo id with the split name appended, e.g. `lerobot/pusht_train`, `lerobot/pusht_task1`, `lerobot/pusht_task2`.
+
+#### Merge Datasets
+
+Combine multiple datasets into a single dataset.
+
+```bash
+# Merge train and validation splits back into one dataset
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht_merged \
+    --operation.type merge \
+    --operation.repo_ids "['lerobot/pusht_train', 'lerobot/pusht_val']"
+```
+
+#### Remove Features
+
+Remove features from a dataset.
+
+```bash
+# Remove a camera feature
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht \
+    --operation.type remove_feature \
+    --operation.feature_names "['observation.images.top']"
+```
+
+#### Convert to Video
+
+Convert an image-based dataset to video format, creating a new LeRobotDataset where images are stored as videos. This is useful for reducing storage requirements and improving data loading performance. The new dataset will have the exact same structure as the original, but with images encoded as MP4 videos in the proper LeRobot format.
+
+```bash
+# Local-only: Save to a custom output directory (no hub push)
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht_image \
+    --operation.type convert_image_to_video \
+    --operation.output_dir /path/to/output/pusht_video
+
+# Save with new repo_id (local storage)
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht_image \
+    --new_repo_id lerobot/pusht_video \
+    --operation.type convert_image_to_video
+
+# Convert and push to Hugging Face Hub
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht_image \
+    --new_repo_id lerobot/pusht_video \
+    --operation.type convert_image_to_video \
+    --push_to_hub true
+
+# Convert with custom video codec and quality settings
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht_image \
+    --operation.type convert_image_to_video \
+    --operation.output_dir outputs/pusht_video \
+    --operation.rgb_encoder.vcodec libsvtav1 \
+    --operation.rgb_encoder.pix_fmt yuv420p \
+    --operation.rgb_encoder.g 2 \
+    --operation.rgb_encoder.crf 30
+
+# Convert a dataset that includes depth maps, customizing the depth encoder
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht_image \
+    --operation.type convert_image_to_video \
+    --operation.output_dir outputs/pusht_video \
+    --operation.depth_encoder.depth_min 0.01 \
+    --operation.depth_encoder.depth_max 10.0 \
+    --operation.depth_encoder.use_log true
+
+# Convert only specific episodes
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht_image \
+    --operation.type convert_image_to_video \
+    --operation.output_dir outputs/pusht_video \
+    --operation.episode_indices "[0, 1, 2, 5, 10]"
+
+# Convert with multiple workers for parallel processing
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht_image \
+    --operation.type convert_image_to_video \
+    --operation.output_dir outputs/pusht_video \
+    --operation.num_workers 8
+
+# For memory-constrained systems, users can now specify limits:
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht_image \
+    --operation.type convert_to_video \
+    --operation.max_episodes_per_batch 50 \
+    --operation.max_frames_per_batch 10000
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `output_dir`: Custom output directory (optional - by default uses `new_repo_id` or `{repo_id}_video`)
+- `rgb_encoder`: Video encoder settings applied to RGB cameras — all sub-fields accessible via `--operation.rgb_encoder.<field>`. See [Video Encoding Parameters](./video_encoding_parameters) for more details.
+- `depth_encoder`: Video encoder settings applied to depth-map cameras (e.g. from an Intel RealSense). In addition to the standard encoder fields it exposes the depth quantization knobs (`depth_min`, `depth_max`, `shift`, `use_log`), accessible via `--operation.depth_encoder.<field>`. These quantization settings are persisted to the dataset metadata so depth can be dequantized back to physical units on load. See the [Depth streams](./video_encoding_parameters#depth-streams) section for details.
+- `episode_indices`: List of specific episodes to convert (default: all episodes)
+- `num_workers`: Number of parallel workers for processing (default: 4)
+
+**Note:** The resulting dataset will be a proper LeRobotDataset with all cameras encoded as videos in the `videos/` directory, with parquet files containing only metadata (no raw image data). Depth-map cameras are detected automatically and routed to the `depth_encoder`, while RGB cameras use the `rgb_encoder`. All episodes, stats, and tasks are preserved.
+
+#### Re-encode Videos
+
+Re-encode the videos of an existing video dataset with different encoder settings, without going back to raw frames. RGB videos use the `rgb_encoder` and depth videos use the `depth_encoder`. Provide only the encoder(s) you want to re-encode; the other stream type is left untouched.
+
+```bash
+# Re-encode all RGB videos with new settings (saves to lerobot/pusht_reencoded by default)
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht \
+    --operation.type reencode_videos \
+    --operation.rgb_encoder.vcodec h264 \
+    --operation.rgb_encoder.pix_fmt yuv420p \
+    --operation.rgb_encoder.crf 23
+
+# Re-encode both RGB and depth videos in a dataset with depth maps
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht_depth \
+    --operation.type reencode_videos \
+    --operation.rgb_encoder.vcodec h264 \
+    --operation.depth_encoder.crf 50
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `rgb_encoder`: Encoder settings applied to every RGB video. Omit to skip re-encoding RGB videos.
+- `depth_encoder`: Encoder settings applied to every depth video. Omit to skip re-encoding depth videos.
+- `num_workers`: Number of parallel workers for processing.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> When re-encoding depth videos, the existing depth quantization parameters (`depth_min`, `depth_max`, `shift`, `use_log`) and the `is_depth_map` flag are **preserved** — re-encoding only changes the codec/quality of the stored stream, not how depth is dequantized on load.
+
+### Show the information of datasets
+
+Show the information of datasets such as number of episode, number of frame, File size and so on.
+No change will be made to the dataset
+
+```bash
+
+# Show dataset information without feature details
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht_image \
+    --operation.type info \
+
+# Show dataset information with feature details
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht_image \
+    --operation.type info \
+    --operation.show_features true
+
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `parameters`: The flag to control show or no show dataset information with feature details.(default=false)
+
+### Push to Hub
+
+Add the `--push_to_hub true` flag to any command to automatically upload the resulting dataset to the Hugging Face Hub:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-edit-dataset \
+    --repo_id lerobot/pusht \
+    --new_repo_id lerobot/pusht_after_deletion \
+    --operation.type delete_episodes \
+    --operation.episode_indices "[0, 2, 5]" \
+    --push_to_hub true
+```
+
+There is also a tool for adding features to a dataset that is not yet covered in `lerobot-edit-dataset`.
+
+# Dataset Visualization
+
+## Online Visualization
+
+When you record a dataset using `lerobot`, it automatically uploads to the Hugging Face Hub unless you specify otherwise. To view the dataset online, use our **LeRobot Dataset Visualizer**, available at:
+https://huggingface.co/spaces/lerobot/visualize_dataset
+
+## Local Visualization
+
+You can also visualize episodes from a dataset locally using our command-line tool.
+
+**From the Hugging Face Hub:**
+
+```bash
+lerobot-dataset-viz \
+    --repo-id lerobot/pusht \
+    --episode-index 0
+```
+
+**From a local folder:**
+Add the `--root` option and set `--mode local`. For example, to search in `./my_local_data_dir/lerobot/pusht`:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-dataset-viz \
+    --repo-id lerobot/pusht \
+    --root ./my_local_data_dir \
+    --mode local \
+    --episode-index 0
+```
+
+Once executed, the tool opens `rerun.io` and displays the camera streams, robot states, and actions for the selected episode.
+
+To use [Foxglove](https://foxglove.dev) instead of Rerun, install the extra add `--display-mode foxglove`. This starts a WebSocket server (connect the Foxglove app to `ws://127.0.0.1:8765`) that serves the episode as a seekable timeline you can play/pause and scrub.
+
+For advanced usage—including visualizing datasets stored on a remote server—run:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-dataset-viz --help
+```

+# Video encoding parameters
+
+When video storage is enabled, LeRobot stores each camera stream as an **MP4** file instead of saving one image file per timestep. Video encoding compresses across time, which usually cuts dataset size and I/O compared to a pile of PNG, while keeping MP4 — a format every player and loader understands.
+
+Encoding frames into an MP4 is a full FFmpeg pipeline: choice of encoder, pixel format, GOP/keyframes, quality vs. speed, and optional extra encoder flags. Most of these knobs are user-tunable through `rgb_encoder`, a nested `RGBEncoderConfig` (`lerobot.configs.video.RGBEncoderConfig`) passed through PyAV.
+
+You can set these parameters from the CLI with `--dataset.rgb_encoder.<field>` (e.g. with `lerobot-record` or `lerobot-rollout`). The same block applies to every camera video stream in that run.
+
+<Tip>
+  Video storage must be on for `rgb_encoder` to have any effect —
+  `use_videos=True` in Python APIs, or `--dataset.video=true` on the CLI (the
+  recording default). With video off, inputs stay as images and `rgb_encoder` is
+  ignored.
+</Tip>
+
+For details on **when** frames are written vs. encoded (streaming vs. post-episode), queues, and other top-level `--dataset.*` switches, see [Streaming Video Encoding](./streaming_video_encoding). For an encoding-parameter comparison and experiments, see the [video-benchmark Space](https://huggingface.co/spaces/lerobot/video-benchmark).

+    --robot.type=so100_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431541 \

+    --dataset.rgb_encoder.vcodec=h264 \
+    --dataset.rgb_encoder.preset=fast \
+    --dataset.rgb_encoder.extra_options={"tune": "film", "profile:v": "high", "bf": 2} \
+    --display_data=true
+```
+
+---
+
+## Tuning parameters
+
+<Tip warning={true}>
+The defaults are tuned to balance **compression ratio**, **visual quality**, and **decoding/seek speed** for typical robotics datasets. Changing them can affect both recording (CPU load, frame drops) and training (decoding throughput, image quality).
+
+Only override these parameters if you have a specific reason to, and measure the impact on your pipeline before relying on the new settings.
+
+</Tip>
+
+All flags below are prefixed with `--dataset.rgb_encoder.` on the CLI.
+
+| Parameter       | Type             | Default       | Description                                                                                                                                                                            |
+| --------------- | ---------------- | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `vcodec`        | `str`            | `"libsvtav1"` | Video codec name. `"auto"` picks the first available hardware encoder from a fixed preference list, falling back to `libsvtav1`.                                                       |
+| `pix_fmt`       | `str`            | `"yuv420p"`   | Output pixel format. Must be supported by the chosen codec in your FFmpeg build.                                                                                                       |

+## Depth streams
+
+Depth maps (Intel RealSense, Reachy 2) are stored as their **own video streams** alongside the RGB streams. Raw depth (`uint16` millimetres or `float32` metres) can't survive an 8-bit codec, so LeRobot **quantizes** each map to a 12-bit code (`[0, 4095]`) — logarithmically by default, to match the `1/depth` error profile of depth sensors — then packs it into a high-bit-depth pixel format (`gray12le`) and encodes it with a 12-bit codec.
+
+```mermaid

+
+Configure the depth pipeline through a parallel **`depth_encoder`** block (`DepthEncoderConfig`). It shares every `RGBEncoderConfig` field (`vcodec`, `pix_fmt`, `crf`, …) and adds four quantizer knobs, set via `--dataset.depth_encoder.<field>`:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-record \
+    ... \
+    --dataset.depth_encoder.vcodec=hevc \
+    --dataset.depth_encoder.depth_min=0.05 \
+    --dataset.depth_encoder.depth_max=5.0 \
+    --dataset.depth_encoder.use_log=true
+```
+
+| Parameter       | Type    | Default                         | Description                                                                                                                            |
+| --------------- | ------- | ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `vcodec`        | `str`   | `"hevc"`                        | HEVC Main 12 (a 12-bit-capable codec, MP4-compatible).                                                                                 |
+| `extra_options` | `dict`  | `{"x265-params": "lossless=1"}` | **Depth defaults to lossless** (exact round-trip); `crf` is ignored. Pass `extra_options={}` and set `crf` for a smaller lossy stream. |
+| `pix_fmt`       | `str`   | `"gray12le"`                    | Single-channel 12-bit pixel format used to carry the quantized codes.                                                                  |
+| `depth_min`     | `float` | `0.01`                          | Depth in metres mapped to quantum `0`. Values below are clipped on decode.                                                             |
+| `depth_max`     | `float` | `10.0`                          | Depth in metres mapped to quantum `4095`. Values above are clipped on decode.                                                          |
+| `shift`         | `float` | `3.5`                           | Pre-log offset (metres) used in logarithmic quantization for numerical stability near zero. Must satisfy `depth_min + shift > 0`.      |
+| `use_log`       | `bool`  | `True`                          | If `true`, quantize in log-space (recommended for typical depth sensors). Set to `false` for uniform/linear quantization.              |
+
+> [!TIP]
+> `depth_min`, `depth_max`, and `shift` are always interpreted in **metres**, regardless of the input depth's unit. Inputs are auto-detected: integer arrays (e.g. `uint16` millimetres straight from a RealSense) are treated as millimetres, floating arrays as metres.
+> Pick `depth_min` / `depth_max` to bracket the actual working range of your sensor — quanta outside that range saturate, which can crush detail at the boundaries.
+
+Depth features are flagged with `"is_depth_map": true` in `meta/info.json`, and their quantizer settings (`video.depth_min`, `video.depth_max`, `video.shift`, `video.use_log`) are persisted — which is what lets depth be **dequantized back to physical units** on load.
+
+### Output unit at load time
+
+`depth_encoder` is a **record-time** concern. The unit that depth maps are dequantized to on _load_ (e.g. during training) is set separately by the read-time flag `--dataset.depth_output_unit`:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --dataset.repo_id=<my_username>/<my_dataset_name> \
+    --dataset.depth_output_unit=m \
+    --policy.type=act
+```
+
+| Parameter           | Type  | Default | Description                                                                                  |
+| ------------------- | ----- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `depth_output_unit` | `str` | `"mm"`  | Physical unit depth maps are dequantized to on load: `"mm"` (millimetres) or `"m"` (metres). |
+
+> [!TIP]
+> This is purely a decode-time presentation choice — it does **not** alter the stored video or its metadata, so the same dataset can be read as `mm` or `m` without re-encoding. It has no effect on datasets without depth cameras.
+
+---
+
+## Persistence in dataset metadata
+
+After the first episode of a video stream is encoded, the encoder configuration is **persisted into the dataset metadata** (`meta/info.json`) under each video feature, alongside the values probed from the file itself. For a video feature `observation.images.<camera>`, the layout in `info.json` is:
+
+```json
+{
+  "features": {
+    "observation.images.laptop": {
+      "dtype": "video",
+      "shape": [480, 640, 3],
+      "info": {
+        "video.height": 480,
+        "video.width": 640,
+        "video.codec": "h264",
+        "video.pix_fmt": "yuv420p",
+        "video.fps": 30,
+        "video.channels": 3,
+        "is_depth_map": false,
+        "video.g": 2,
+        "video.crf": 30,
+        "video.preset": "fast",
+        "video.fast_decode": 0,
+        "video.video_backend": "pyav",
+        "video.extra_options": { "tune": "film", "profile:v": "high", "bf": 2 }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Two sources contribute to the `info` block:
+
+- **Stream-derived** (read back from the encoded MP4 with PyAV): `video.height`, `video.width`, `video.codec`, `video.pix_fmt`, `video.fps`, `video.channels`, `is_depth_map`, plus `audio.*` if an audio stream is present.
+- **Encoder-derived** (taken from `RGBEncoderConfig` or `DepthEncoderConfig`): `video.g`, `video.crf`, `video.preset`, `video.fast_decode`, `video.video_backend`, `video.extra_options`.
+
+<Tip>
+  This block is populated **once**, from the **first** episode. It assumes every
+  episode in the dataset was encoded with the same `rgb_encoder`. Changing
+  encoder settings partway through a recording is not supported — the
+  `info.json` will only reflect the parameters used for the first episode.
+</Tip>
+
+---
+
+## Merging datasets
+
+When aggregating datasets with `merge_datasets`, video files are concatenated as-is (no re-encoding), and encoder fields in `info.json` are merged per-key:
+
+- **Stream-derived fields must match** across sources: `video.codec`, `video.pix_fmt`, `video.height`, `video.width`, `video.fps`. Otherwise FFmpeg's concat demuxer fails.
+- **Encoder-tuning fields are merged loosely**: `video.g`, `video.crf`, `video.preset`, `video.fast_decode`, `video.extra_options`. If every source agrees, the value is kept; if not, it's set to `null` (or `{}` for `video.extra_options`) and a warning is logged.

+# VLA-JEPA
+
+This is the LeRobot port of **VLA-JEPA**, a Vision-Language-Action model that combines a Qwen3-VL language backbone with a self-supervised video world model (V-JEPA2) and a flow-matching DiT action head.
+
+---
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+VLA-JEPA has three main components:
+
+| Component               | Module                            | Role                                                    |
+| ----------------------- | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Qwen3-VL backbone**   | `Qwen3VLInterface`                | Fuses images + language instruction into context tokens |
+| **DiT-B action head**   | `VLAJEPAActionHead`               | Flow-matching diffusion over the action chunk           |
+| **V-JEPA2 world model** | `ActionConditionedVideoPredictor` | Self-supervised video prediction loss (training only)   |
+
+### Data flow
+
+**Training:**
+
+1. A video clip of `num_video_frames` frames is encoded by V-JEPA2 into per-frame patch tokens.
+2. The Qwen3-VL backbone processes multi-view images + the task instruction and produces a sequence of context tokens that includes special action tokens (for world model conditioning) and embodied tokens.
+3. The action head receives those context tokens as cross-attention keys/values and predicts a denoised action chunk via flow matching.
+4. The world model predictor uses the action tokens extracted from Qwen to predict future V-JEPA2 frame embeddings; a regression loss on those predictions is added to the action loss.
+
+**Inference:**
+Only Qwen + the action head are used. The world model is not needed at inference time.
+
+### Action head details
+
+Available presets via `action_model_type`:
+
+| Preset  | Hidden dim | Heads | Head dim |
+| ------- | ---------- | ----- | -------- |
+| `DiT-B` | 768        | 12    | 64       |
+| `DiT-L` | 1536       | 32    | 48       |
+
+### World model details
+
+The video predictor is a ViT-style transformer (`ActionConditionedVideoPredictor`) that takes:
+
+- **Frame tokens**: V-JEPA2 patch embeddings projected to `predictor_embed_dim`
+- **Action tokens**: Qwen action token embeddings projected to `predictor_embed_dim`
+
+It uses block-causal attention so each temporal step can attend to all previous steps. The predictor's input `embed_dim` equals `num_views × video_encoder_hidden_size` (e.g. 2 views × 1024 = 2048 for the pretrained checkpoints).
+
+---
+
+## Pretrained Checkpoints
+
+Three checkpoints are available directly inside the LeRobot org here: [`lerobot/VLA-JEPA`](https://huggingface.co/collections/lerobot/vla-jepa), converted from [ginwind/VLA-JEPA](https://huggingface.co/ginwind/VLA-JEPA):
+
+| Checkpoint                    | Dataset           | Cameras                 | World model | Action dim |
+| ----------------------------- | ----------------- | ----------------------- | ----------- | ---------- |
+| `lerobot/VLA-JEPA-LIBERO`     | LIBERO-10         | 2 (agentview + wrist)   | Enabled     | 7          |
+| `lerobot/VLA-JEPA-Pretrain`   | DROID 1.0.1       | 2 (exterior left views) | Enabled     | 7          |
+| `lerobot/VLA-JEPA-SimplerEnv` | OXE Bridge / RT-1 | 1 (view duplicated ×2)  | Enabled     | 7          |
+
+All checkpoints use `Qwen/Qwen3-VL-2B-Instruct` as the language backbone.

+| `gripper_dim`             | 6       | Index of the gripper dimension in the action vector (e.g. 6 for a 7-DoF arm with gripper as the last joint)                                                                     |

+
+## Training
+
+Number of training steps may vary based on dataset size and compute budget. The original paper pretrained for 50k on ssv2 + droid jointly, then additional 30k steps for LIBERO, but fewer steps may still yield good performance when fine-tuning from the provided pretrained checkpoints.
+
+### Full training from scratch
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  policy.type=vla_jepa \
+  policy.repo_id=your_org/your_repo \
+  dataset.repo_id=your_org/your_dataset
+```
+
+### Fine-tuning from a pretrained checkpoint
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/VLA-JEPA-Pretrain \
+  --policy.repo_id=your_org/your_repo \
+  --dataset.repo_id=your_org/your_dataset
+```
+
+If you want to freeze the Qwen backbone and only train the action head, set `policy.freeze_qwen=True`:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/VLA-JEPA-Pretrain \
+  --policy.repo_id=your_org/your_repo \
+  --policy.freeze_qwen=true \
+  --dataset.repo_id=your_org/your_dataset
+```
+
+### Fine-tuning on a different embodiment
+
+When the target robot has a different action or state dimensionality than the pretrained checkpoint, the input/output projection layers of the action head will have mismatched shapes and cannot be loaded directly. `reinit_modules` lets you list the key prefixes that are allowed to mismatch — those layers are randomly re-initialised while every other weight is reused from the checkpoint. Any shape mismatch outside the listed prefixes raises an error.
+
+The layers that depend on `action_dim` and `state_dim` are:
+
+| Layer                                     | Key prefix                          |
+| ----------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
+| Action encoder (action_dim → inner_dim)   | `model.action_model.action_encoder` |
+| Action decoder (hidden_size → action_dim) | `model.action_model.action_decoder` |
+| State encoder (state_dim → inner_dim)     | `model.action_model.state_encoder`  |
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/VLA-JEPA-Pretrain \
+  --policy.repo_id=your_org/your_repo \
+  --policy.freeze_qwen=true \
+  --policy.reinit_modules='["model.action_model.action_encoder", "model.action_model.action_decoder", "model.action_model.state_encoder"]' \
+  --dataset.repo_id=your_org/your_dataset
+```
+
+If your robot has no proprioceptive state, omit `model.action_model.state_encoder` from the list.
+
+### Reproducing the LIBERO results

+**Training on LIBERO:**
+starts the training from the Pretrain checkpoint, trains for 30k steps on the LIBERO dataset.
+Original paper mentions training across 8 GPUs with a batch size of 32, meaning global batch size of 256.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/VLA-JEPA-Pretrain \
+  --policy.repo_id=your_org/your_repo \
+  --dataset.repo_id=HuggingFaceVLA/libero \
+  --steps=30000
+```
+
+**Evaluating the pretrained LIBERO-10 checkpoint:**
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/VLA-JEPA-LIBERO \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  --env.task=libero_spatial,libero_object,libero_goal,libero_10 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+  --eval.batch_size=5
+```
+
+To evaluate a subset of tasks only:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/VLA-JEPA-LIBERO \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  --env.task=libero_10 \
+  --env.task_ids='[0,1,2]' \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+  --eval.batch_size=5
+```
+
+**Expected results:**
+
+| Suite          | Episodes | Successes | Success Rate |
+| -------------- | -------- | --------- | ------------ |
+| libero_spatial | 100      | 93        | **95.0%**    |
+| libero_object  | 100      | 100       | **100.0%**   |
+| libero_goal    | 100      | 98        | **98.0%**    |
+| libero_10      | 100      | 96        | **93.0%**    |
+| **Overall**    | **400**  | **387**   | **96.5%**    |
+

+
+## Fine-tuning on datasets with a different number of cameras
+
+The pretrained world model predictor was trained with `embed_dim = jepa_tubelet_size × 1024` (default `jepa_tubelet_size=2`).
+
+**Default behaviour — view padding / trimming (no action required)**
+
+When fine-tuning from `VLA-JEPA-Pretrain` the model automatically adjusts the number of views fed to the world model to match `jepa_tubelet_size`:
+
+- **Single-view datasets (e.g. BridgeV2):** the single-view latent is duplicated to produce a two-view world-model input, preserving the JEPA self-supervised signal without any weight mismatch.
+- **>2-view datasets (e.g. DROID with 3 views):** all views are passed to the Qwen backbone (for richer context), but only the first `jepa_tubelet_size` views (one wrist + one third-person, following the configured view order) are used for the world model.
+
+**Option 1 — Disable the world model**
+
+Set `enable_world_model=False` to skip the JEPA loss entirely. Only the Qwen backbone and action head are loaded and trained. This is sufficient for good action performance.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/VLA-JEPA-Pretrain \
+  --policy.enable_world_model=false \
+  --policy.repo_id=your_org/your_repo \
+  --dataset.repo_id=your_org/single_camera_dataset
+```
+
+**Option 2 — Reinitialize the predictor input projection**
+
+If you want to change `jepa_tubelet_size` to a value other than 2, load the checkpoint with `strict=False` and reinitialize `model.video_predictor.predictor_embed` for the new `embed_dim`. All other predictor block weights (attention, MLP, norm, output projection) are camera-count-agnostic and can be reused from the pretrained checkpoint.

+
+## Available tasks
+
+VLABench ships two task suites covering **43 task categories** in LeRobot's `--env.task` surface:
+
+| Suite     | CLI name    | Tasks | Description                                                      |
+| --------- | ----------- | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Primitive | `primitive` | 21    | Single / few-skill combinations (select, insert, physics QA)     |
+| Composite | `composite` | 22    | Multi-step reasoning and long-horizon planning (cook, rearrange) |
+
+**Primitive tasks:** `select_fruit`, `select_toy`, `select_chemistry_tube`, `add_condiment`, `select_book`, `select_painting`, `select_drink`, `insert_flower`, `select_billiards`, `select_ingredient`, `select_mahjong`, `select_poker`, and physical-reasoning tasks (`density_qa`, `friction_qa`, `magnetism_qa`, `reflection_qa`, `simple_cuestick_usage`, `simple_seesaw_usage`, `sound_speed_qa`, `thermal_expansion_qa`, `weight_qa`).
+
+**Composite tasks:** `cluster_billiards`, `cluster_book`, `cluster_drink`, `cluster_toy`, `cook_dishes`, `cool_drink`, `find_unseen_object`, `get_coffee`, `hammer_nail`, `heat_food`, `make_juice`, `play_mahjong`, `play_math_game`, `play_poker`, `play_snooker`, `rearrange_book`, `rearrange_chemistry_tube`, `set_dining_table`, `set_study_table`, `store_food`, `take_chemistry_experiment`, `use_seesaw_complex`.
+
+`--env.task` accepts three forms:
+
+- a single task name (`select_fruit`)
+- a comma-separated list (`select_fruit,heat_food`)
+- a suite shortcut (`primitive`, `composite`, or `primitive,composite`)
+
+## Installation
+
+VLABench is **not on PyPI** — its only distribution is the [OpenMOSS/VLABench](https://github.com/OpenMOSS/VLABench) GitHub repo — so LeRobot does not expose a `vlabench` extra. Install it manually as an editable clone, alongside the MuJoCo / dm_control pins VLABench needs, then fetch the mesh assets:
+
+```bash
+# After following the standard LeRobot installation instructions.
+
+git clone https://github.com/OpenMOSS/VLABench.git ~/VLABench
+git clone https://github.com/motion-planning/rrt-algorithms.git ~/rrt-algorithms
+pip install -e ~/VLABench -e ~/rrt-algorithms
+pip install "mujoco==3.2.2" "dm-control==1.0.22" \
+            open3d colorlog scikit-learn openai gdown
+
+python ~/VLABench/scripts/download_assets.py
+```
+
+<Tip>
+VLABench requires Linux (`sys_platform == 'linux'`) and Python 3.10+. Set the MuJoCo rendering backend before running:
+
+```bash
+export MUJOCO_GL=egl  # for headless servers (HPC, cloud)
+```
+
+</Tip>
+
+## Evaluation
+
+All eval snippets below mirror the command CI runs (see `.github/workflows/benchmark_tests.yml`). The `--rename_map` argument maps VLABench's `image` / `second_image` / `wrist_image` camera keys onto the three-camera (`camera1` / `camera2` / `camera3`) input layout the released `smolvla_vlabench` policy was trained on.
+
+### Single-task evaluation (recommended for quick iteration)
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_vlabench \
+  --env.type=vlabench \
+  --env.task=select_fruit \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+  --eval.use_async_envs=false \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  '--rename_map={"observation.images.image": "observation.images.camera1", "observation.images.second_image": "observation.images.camera2", "observation.images.wrist_image": "observation.images.camera3"}'
+```
+
+### Multi-task evaluation
+
+Pass a comma-separated list of tasks:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_vlabench \
+  --env.type=vlabench \
+  --env.task=select_fruit,select_toy,add_condiment,heat_food \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+  --eval.use_async_envs=false \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  '--rename_map={"observation.images.image": "observation.images.camera1", "observation.images.second_image": "observation.images.camera2", "observation.images.wrist_image": "observation.images.camera3"}'
+```
+
+### Suite-wide evaluation
+
+Run an entire suite (all 21 primitives or all 22 composites):
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_vlabench \
+  --env.type=vlabench \
+  --env.task=primitive \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+  --eval.use_async_envs=false \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --env.max_parallel_tasks=1 \
+  '--rename_map={"observation.images.image": "observation.images.camera1", "observation.images.second_image": "observation.images.camera2", "observation.images.wrist_image": "observation.images.camera3"}'
+```
+
+Or both suites:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_vlabench \
+  --env.type=vlabench \
+  --env.task=primitive,composite \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+  --eval.use_async_envs=false \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --env.max_parallel_tasks=1 \
+  '--rename_map={"observation.images.image": "observation.images.camera1", "observation.images.second_image": "observation.images.camera2", "observation.images.wrist_image": "observation.images.camera3"}'
+```
+
+### Recommended evaluation episodes
+
+**10 episodes per task** for reproducible benchmarking (210 total for the full primitive suite, 220 for composite). Matches the protocol in the VLABench paper.
+
+## Policy inputs and outputs
+
+**Observations:**
+
+- `observation.state` — 7-dim end-effector state (position xyz + Euler xyz + gripper)
+- `observation.images.image` — front camera, 480×480 HWC uint8
+- `observation.images.second_image` — second camera, 480×480 HWC uint8
+- `observation.images.wrist_image` — wrist camera, 480×480 HWC uint8
+
+**Actions:**
+
+- Continuous control in `Box(-1, 1, shape=(7,))` — 3D position + 3D Euler orientation + 1D gripper.
+
+## Training
+
+### Datasets
+
+Pre-collected VLABench datasets in LeRobot format on the Hub:
+
+- [`VLABench/vlabench_primitive_ft_lerobot_video`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/VLABench/vlabench_primitive_ft_lerobot_video) — 5,000 episodes, 128 tasks, 480×480 images.

+# WALL-OSS
+
+WALL-OSS is an open-source foundation model for embodied intelligence, proposed by the [XSquare Robot](https://x2robot.com/en/research/68bc2cde8497d7f238dde690) team in 2025. The LeRobot implementation is adapted from their open-source [WallX](https://github.com/X-Square-Robot/wall-x) repository.
+
+X Square Robot’s WALL-OSS is now integrated into Hugging Face’s LeRobot ecosystem. This is an exciting collaborative project between the LeRobot and X Square Robot teams. You can now post-train, evaluate, and deploy WALL-OSS directly through LeRobot. With this, we’re aiming to make it easier for the open-source robotics community to customize and deploy WALL-OSS foundation models. Read and explore WALL-OSS [paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2509.11766) and [code](https://github.com/X-Square-Robot/wall-x).
+
+## Model Overview
+
+The WALL-OSS team is building the embodied foundation model to capture and compress the world's most valuable data: the continuous, high-fidelity stream of physical interaction. By creating a direct feedback loop between the model's decisions and the body's lived experience, the emergence of a truly generalizable intelligence is enabled—one that understands not just how the world works, but how to act effectively within it.
+
+<img
+  src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/lerobot/walloss-lerobot-paper.png"
+  alt="An overview of WALL-OSS"
+  width="85%"
+/>
+
+Technically, WALL-OSS introduces a tightly coupled multimodal architecture (tightly-coupled MoE structure) that integrates both discrete and continuous action modeling strategies. Through a two-stage training pipeline (Inspiration → Integration), the model gradually unifies semantic reasoning and high-frequency action generation. Its core innovations include:
+
+- **Embodied perception–enhanced multimodal pretraining**: Large-scale training on unified vision–language–action data to strengthen spatial, causal, and manipulation understanding.
+- **Unified Cross-Level Chain-of-Thought (Uni-CoT)**: A single differentiable framework that unifies high-level instruction reasoning, sub-task decomposition, and fine-grained action synthesis, forming a continuous chain from “understanding” to “execution.”
+- **Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) action heads**: Dynamically activating experts depending on the task phase and modeling actions in discrete or continuous space to maintain stable VLM priors.
+- **Two-stage training paradigm**:
+  - **Inspiration stage**: Injecting discrete action priors to strengthen spatial understanding and semantic-action alignment.
+  - **Integration stage**: Using flow matching to achieve high-frequency continuous control.
+
+## Installation Requirements
+
+1. Install LeRobot by following our [Installation Guide](./installation).
+2. Install WallX dependencies by running:
+
+   ```bash
+   pip install -e ".[wallx]"
+   ```
+
+## Usage
+
+To use WallX in LeRobot, specify the policy type as:
+
+```python
+policy.type=wall_x
+```
+
+## Training
+
+For training WallX, you can use the standard LeRobot training script with the appropriate configuration:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --dataset.repo_id=your_dataset \
+    --policy.type=wall_x \
+    --output_dir=./outputs/wallx_training \
+    --job_name=wallx_training \
+    --policy.repo_id=your_repo_id \
+    --policy.pretrained_name_or_path=x-square-robot/wall-oss-flow \
+    --policy.prediction_mode=diffusion \
+    --policy.attn_implementation=eager \
+    --steps=3000 \
+    --policy.device=cuda \

+# X-VLA: The First Soft-Prompted Robot Foundation Model for Any Robot, Any Task
+
+## Overview
+
+For years, robotics has aspired to build agents that can follow natural human instructions and operate dexterously across many environments and robot bodies. Recent breakthroughs in LLMs and VLMs suggest a path forward: extend these foundation-model architectures to embodied control by grounding them in actions. This has led to the rise of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, with the hope that a single generalist model could combine broad semantic understanding with robust manipulation skills.
+
+But training such models is difficult. Robot data is fragmented across platforms, sensors, embodiments, and collection protocols. Heterogeneity appears everywhere: different arm configurations, different action spaces, different camera setups, different visual domains, and different task distributions. These inconsistencies create major distribution shifts that make pretraining unstable and adaptation unreliable.
+
+Inspired by meta-learning and prompt learning, we ask: **"What if a VLA model could learn the structure of each robot and dataset the same way LLMs learn tasks, through prompts?"**
+
+**X-VLA** is a soft-prompted, flow-matching VLA framework that treats each hardware setup as a "task" and encodes it using a small set of learnable embeddings. These **Soft Prompts** capture embodiment and domain-specific variations, guiding the Transformer from the earliest stages of multimodal fusion. With this mechanism, X-VLA can reconcile diverse robot morphologies, data types, and sensor setups within a single unified architecture.

+    alt="XVLA Architecture"
+    style="max-width: 100%; height: auto; width: 800px;"
+  />
+</p>
+
+Built from pure Transformer encoders, X-VLA scales naturally with model size and dataset diversity. Across 6 simulation benchmarks and 3 real robots, Soft Prompts consistently outperform existing methods in handling hardware and domain differences. X-VLA-0.9B, trained on 290K episodes spanning seven robotic platforms, learns an embodiment-agnostic generalist policy in Phase I, and adapts efficiently to new robots in Phase II simply by learning a new set of prompts, while keeping the backbone frozen.

+
+X-VLA shows that generalist robot intelligence does not require increasingly complex architectures, only the right way to absorb heterogeneity. Soft Prompts offer a simple, scalable mechanism for unifying diverse robotic data, paving the way toward adaptable, cross-embodiment robot foundation models.
+
+## Installation
+
+After installing LeRobot, install the X-VLA dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e .[xvla]
+```
+
+After the new release, you'll be able to do:
+
+```bash
+pip install lerobot[xvla]
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+To use X-VLA in your LeRobot configuration, specify the policy type as:
+
+```bash
+policy.type=xvla
+```
+
+### Evaluating Pre-trained Checkpoints
+
+Example evaluation with LIBERO:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="lerobot/xvla-libero" \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  --env.task=libero_spatial,libero_goal,libero_10 \
+  --env.control_mode=absolute \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=1 \
+  --env.episode_length=800 \
+  --seed=142
+```
+
+## Available Checkpoints
+
+### 🎯 Base Model
+
+**[lerobot/xvla-base](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/xvla-base)**
+
+A 0.9B parameter instantiation of X-VLA, trained with a carefully designed data processing and learning recipe. The training pipeline consists of two phases:
+
+- **Phase I: Pretraining** - Pretrained on 290K episodes from Droid, Robomind, and Agibot, spanning seven platforms across five types of robotic arms (single-arm to bi-manual setups). By leveraging soft prompts to absorb embodiment-specific variations, the model learns an embodiment-agnostic generalist policy.
+
+- **Phase II: Domain Adaptation** - Adapted to deployable policies for target domains. A new set of soft prompts is introduced and optimized to encode the hardware configuration of the novel domain, while the pretrained backbone remains frozen.

+
+## Training X-VLA
+
+### Recommended Training Configuration
+
+When fine-tuning X-VLA for a new embodiment or task, we recommend not freezing the VLM, and also setting the `policy.dtype=bfloat16` to not hit OOM errors.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=YOUR_DATASET \
+  --output_dir=./outputs/xvla_training \
+  --job_name=xvla_training \
+  --policy.path="lerobot/xvla-base" \
+  --policy.repo_id="HF_USER/xvla-your-robot" \
+  --policy.dtype=bfloat16 \
+  --policy.action_mode=auto \
+  --steps=20000 \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --policy.freeze_vision_encoder=false \
+  --policy.freeze_language_encoder=false \
+  --policy.train_policy_transformer=true \
+  --policy.train_soft_prompts=true \
+```
+
+### Training Parameters Explained
+
+| Parameter                  | Default | Description                                    |
+| -------------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| `freeze_vision_encoder`    | `false` | Do not freeze the VLM vision encoder weights   |
+| `freeze_language_encoder`  | `false` | Do not freeze the VLM language encoder weights |
+| `train_policy_transformer` | `true`  | Allow policy transformer layers to train       |
+| `train_soft_prompts`       | `true`  | Allow soft prompts to train                    |
+
+**💡 Best Practice**: For Phase II adaptation to new embodiments, do not freeze the VLM encoders and also train the policy transformer and soft prompts.
+
+### Example: Training on Bimanual Robot
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=<USER>/bimanual-so100-handover-cube \
+  --output_dir=./outputs/xvla_bimanual \
+  --job_name=xvla_so101_training \
+  --policy.path="lerobot/xvla-base" \
+  --policy.dtype=bfloat16 \
+  --policy.repo_id="YOUR_USERNAME/xvla-biso101" \
+  --steps=3000 \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --policy.action_mode=so101_bimanual \
+  --policy.freeze_vision_encoder=false \
+  --policy.freeze_language_encoder=false \
+  --policy.train_policy_transformer=true \
+  --policy.train_soft_prompts=true
+```
+
+💡 **Best Performance:** If you have sufficient computational resources and want to achieve best X-VLA finetuning performance, you should follow the official finetuning strategy:
+
+**🔥 Full-finetune all components with a custom learning-rate scheme**
+
+To ensure stable optimization, the Vision-Language Model (VLM) must be trained with only 1/10 of the base learning rate, while all other components use the full LR.
+This LR ratio is crucial for achieving strong and stable finetuning performance. This is already done for you by default.
+❕Note
+
+Completely matching the official reported performance may require an additional warm-up LR schedule for soft-prompts, which can bring minor improvements.
+We encourage implementing this in your customized training pipeline for optimal results.
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### 1. Action Modes
+
+X-VLA uses an **Action Registry** system to handle different action spaces and embodiments. The `action_mode` parameter defines how actions are processed, what loss functions are used, and how predictions are post-processed.
+
+#### Available Action Modes
+
+| Action Mode      | Action Dim              | Description                                 | Use Case                             |
+| ---------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
+| `ee6d`           | 20                      | End-effector with xyz, 6D rotation, gripper | Dual-arm setups with spatial control |
+| `joint`          | 14                      | Joint-space with gripper                    | Direct joint control robots          |
+| `agibot_ee6d`    | 20                      | AGI-bot variant with MSE loss               | AGI-bot platforms                    |
+| `so101_bimanual` | 20 (model), 12 (real)   | SO101 bimanual robot                        | Bimanual manipulation tasks          |
+| `auto`           | 20 (model), auto (real) | Auto-detects action dim from dataset        | **Recommended** for new robots       |
+
+#### Why Action Modes Matter
+
+When you have a pretrained checkpoint like `lerobot/xvla-base` trained with `action_dim=20`, and you want to train on a dataset with a different action dimension (e.g., 14 for bimanual arms), you can't simply trim the action dimension. The action mode orchestrates:
+
+1. **Loss Computation**: Different loss functions for different action components (MSE for joints, BCE for grippers, etc.)
+2. **Preprocessing**: Zeroing out gripper channels, padding dimensions
+3. **Postprocessing**: Applying sigmoid to gripper logits, trimming padding
+
+#### Example: BimanualSO101 Action Space
+
+The `so101_bimanual` action mode handles the mismatch between model output (20D) and real robot control (12D):
+
+```python
+# Model outputs 20 dimensions for compatibility
+dim_action = 20
+
+# Real robot only needs 12 dimensions
+# [left_arm (6), right_arm (6)] = [joints (5) + gripper (1)] × 2
+REAL_DIM = 12
+
+# Preprocessing: Pad 12D actions to 20D for training
+# Postprocessing: Trim 20D predictions to 12D for deployment
+```
+
+See the [action_hub.py](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/policies/xvla/action_hub.py) implementation for details.
+
+#### Auto Action Mode (Recommended)
+
+The `auto` action mode is the easiest way to use X-VLA with any robot. It automatically detects your dataset's action dimension and handles padding/trimming:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.path="lerobot/xvla-base" \
+  --policy.action_mode=auto \
+  --policy.max_action_dim=20 \
+  ...
+```
+
+**How it works:**
+
+- Reads `action_feature.shape[-1]` from your dataset (e.g., 7 for Franka)
+- Model outputs `max_action_dim` (default 20) for pretrained compatibility
+- Loss is computed **only on the real dimensions**: `MSE(pred[:,:,:real_dim], target[:,:,:real_dim])`
+- Postprocess trims output back to `real_dim` for robot control
+
+This eliminates the need to create custom action modes for most robots.
+
+### 2. Domain IDs
+
+Domain IDs are learnable identifiers for different robot configurations and camera setups. They allow X-VLA to distinguish between:
+
+- Different robots (Robot 1 vs Robot 2)
+- Different camera configurations (cam1 vs cam2)
+- Different combinations (Robot1-cam1-cam2 vs Robot1-cam1 vs Robot2-cam1)
+
+#### Setting Domain IDs
+
+**During Training**: By default, domain_id is set to 0 for general training.
+
+**During Evaluation**: Specify the domain_id that matches your checkpoint's training configuration.
+
+```python
+# Example: LIBERO checkpoint uses domain_id=3
+domain_id = 3
+```
+
+The domain_id is automatically added to observations by the `XVLAAddDomainIdProcessorStep` in the preprocessing pipeline.
+
+The `lerobot/xvla-base` model has been trained on the following domain IDs. It is recommended to choose one that most resembles your robot/configuration:
+
+#### Fine-tuning Datasets
+
+| Dataset Name     | Domain ID |
+| ---------------- | --------- |
+| Bridge           | 0         |
+| RT1              | 1         |
+| Calvin           | 2         |
+| libero           | 3         |
+| widowx-air       | 4         |
+| AIR-AGILEX-HQ    | 5         |
+| robotwin2_abs_ee | 6         |
+| robotwin2_clean  | 6         |
+| robocasa-human   | 7         |
+| VLABench         | 8         |
+| AGIBOT-challenge | 9         |
+| AIR-AGILEX       | 10        |
+| AIRBOT           | 18        |
+
+### 3. Processor Steps
+
+X-VLA requires specific preprocessing and postprocessing steps for proper operation.
+
+#### Required Preprocessing Steps
+
+1. **XVLAImageToFloatProcessorStep**: Converts images from [0, 255] to [0, 1] range
+2. **XVLAImageNetNormalizeProcessorStep**: Applies ImageNet normalization (required for VLM backbone)
+3. **XVLAAddDomainIdProcessorStep**: Adds domain_id to observations
+
+#### Example Custom Processor
+
+For LIBERO environments, a custom processor handles the specific observation format:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.policies.xvla.processor_xvla import LiberoProcessorStep
+
+processor = LiberoProcessorStep()
+# Handles robot_state dictionary, converts rotation matrices to 6D representation
+# Applies 180° image rotation for camera convention
+```
+
+### 4. Configuration Parameters
+
+Key configuration parameters for X-VLA:
+
+```python
+# Observation and action
+n_obs_steps: int = 1          # Number of observation timesteps
+chunk_size: int = 32           # Action sequence length
+n_action_steps: int = 32       # Number of action steps to execute
+
+# Model architecture
+hidden_size: int = 1024        # Transformer hidden dimension
+depth: int = 24                # Number of transformer layers
+num_heads: int = 16            # Number of attention heads
+num_domains: int = 30          # Maximum number of domain IDs
+len_soft_prompts: int = 32     # Length of soft prompt embeddings
+
+# Action space
+action_mode: str = "ee6d"      # Action space type (use "auto" for auto-detection)
+use_proprio: bool = True       # Use proprioceptive state
+max_state_dim: int = 32        # Maximum state dimension
+max_action_dim: int = 20       # Max action dim for padding (used by "auto" mode)
+
+# Vision
+num_image_views: int | None    # Number of camera views
+resize_imgs_with_padding: tuple[int, int] | None  # Target image size with padding
+
+# Training
+num_denoising_steps: int = 10  # Flow matching denoising steps
+```
+
+## Creating Custom Action Modes
+
+If your robot has a unique action space, you can create a custom action mode:
+
+### Step 1: Define Your Action Space
+
+```python
+from lerobot.policies.xvla.action_hub import BaseActionSpace, register_action
+import torch.nn as nn
+
+@register_action("my_custom_robot")
+class MyCustomActionSpace(BaseActionSpace):
+    """Custom action space for my robot."""
+
+    dim_action = 15  # Your robot's action dimension
+    gripper_idx = (7, 14)  # Gripper channel indices
+
+    def __init__(self):
+        super().__init__()
+        self.mse = nn.MSELoss()
+        self.bce = nn.BCEWithLogitsLoss()
+
+    def compute_loss(self, pred, target):
+        """Define your loss computation."""
+        # Example: MSE for joints, BCE for grippers
+        joints_loss = self.mse(pred[:, :, :7], target[:, :, :7])
+        gripper_loss = self.bce(pred[:, :, self.gripper_idx],
+                                target[:, :, self.gripper_idx])
+
+        return {
+            "joints_loss": joints_loss,
+            "gripper_loss": gripper_loss,
+        }
+
+    def preprocess(self, proprio, action, mode="train"):
+        """Preprocess actions before training."""
+        # Example: Zero out grippers in proprioception
+        proprio_m = proprio.clone()
+        action_m = action.clone() if action is not None else None
+        proprio_m[..., self.gripper_idx] = 0.0
+        if action_m is not None:
+            action_m[..., self.gripper_idx] = 0.0
+        return proprio_m, action_m
+
+    def postprocess(self, action):
+        """Post-process predictions for deployment."""
+        # Example: Apply sigmoid to gripper logits
+        action[..., self.gripper_idx] = torch.sigmoid(action[..., self.gripper_idx])
+        return action
+```
+
+### Step 2: Use Your Custom Action Mode
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.action_mode=my_custom_robot \
+  --dataset.repo_id=YOUR_DATASET \
+  --policy.path="lerobot/xvla-base" \
+  ...
+```
+
+## Advanced Topics
+
+### Multi-Camera Support
+
+X-VLA supports multiple camera views through the `num_image_views` parameter:
+
+```python
+# Configure for 3 camera views
+policy.num_image_views=3
+
+# Add empty cameras if you have fewer physical cameras
+policy.empty_cameras=1  # Adds 1 zero-padded camera view
+```
+
+### Custom Preprocessing Pipeline
+
+Create a custom preprocessing pipeline for your environment:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.processor import PolicyProcessorPipeline
+from lerobot.policies.xvla import (
+    XVLAImageToFloatProcessorStep,
+    XVLAImageNetNormalizeProcessorStep,
+    XVLAAddDomainIdProcessorStep,
+)
+
+# Build custom pipeline
+preprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline(
+    steps=[
+        YourCustomProcessorStep(),  # Your custom processing
+        XVLAImageToFloatProcessorStep(),  # Required: convert to float
+        XVLAImageNetNormalizeProcessorStep(),  # Required: ImageNet norm
+        XVLAAddDomainIdProcessorStep(domain_id=5),  # Your domain ID
+    ]
+)
+```
+
+### Handling Different Action Dimensions
+
+When your dataset has fewer action dimensions than the pretrained model:
+
+**Option 1 (Recommended)**: Use `auto` action mode
+
+```bash
+# Automatically detects your dataset's action dimension
+# Works with any robot without custom code
+policy.action_mode=auto
+policy.max_action_dim=20  # Match pretrained model
+```
+
+**Option 2**: Use a predefined action mode with built-in padding
+
+```python
+# Model expects 20D, dataset has 12D
+# Action mode handles padding internally
+action_mode = "so101_bimanual"  # Pads 12 → 20
+```
+
+**Option 2**: Create a custom action mode that maps dimensions explicitly
+
+```python
+@register_action("my_mapped_action")
+class MappedActionSpace(BaseActionSpace):
+    dim_action = 20
+    REAL_DIM = 12
+
+    def _pad_to_model_dim(self, x):
+        # Custom padding logic
+        ...
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Issue**: "Action dimension mismatch"
+
+- **Solution**: Check that your `action_mode` matches your robot's action space. Create a custom action mode if needed.
+
+**Issue**: "Image values outside [0, 1] range"
+
+- **Solution**: Ensure images are preprocessed with `XVLAImageToFloatProcessorStep` before normalization.
+
+**Issue**: "Domain ID not found"
+
+- **Solution**: Make sure `XVLAAddDomainIdProcessorStep` is in your preprocessing pipeline with the correct domain_id.
+
+**Issue**: "Low success rate on new embodiment"
+
+- **Solution**:
+  1. Verify your action_mode is correct
+  2. Check that soft prompts are being trained (`train_soft_prompts=True`)
+  3. Ensure proper preprocessing (ImageNet normalization, domain_id)
+  4. Consider increasing training steps
+
+**Issue**: "Out of memory during training"
+
+- **Solution**:
+  1. Reduce `chunk_size` (e.g., from 32 to 16)
+  2. Enable gradient checkpointing
+  3. Reduce batch size
+  4. Freeze more components

-dataset = LeRobotDataset(repo_id)
-print(f"Number of episodes selected: {dataset.num_episodes}")
-print(f"Number of frames selected: {dataset.num_frames}")
-
-# The previous metadata class is contained in the 'meta' attribute of the dataset:
-print(dataset.meta)
-
-# LeRobotDataset actually wraps an underlying Hugging Face dataset
-# (see https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets for more information).
-print(dataset.hf_dataset)
-
-# LeRobot datasets also subclasses PyTorch datasets so you can do everything you know and love from working
-# with the latter, like iterating through the dataset.
-# The __getitem__ iterates over the frames of the dataset. Since our datasets are also structured by
-# episodes, you can access the frame indices of any episode using the episode_data_index. Here, we access
-# frame indices associated to the first episode:
-episode_index = 0
-from_idx = dataset.episode_data_index["from"][episode_index].item()
-to_idx = dataset.episode_data_index["to"][episode_index].item()
-
-# Then we grab all the image frames from the first camera:
-camera_key = dataset.meta.camera_keys[0]
-frames = [dataset[idx][camera_key] for idx in range(from_idx, to_idx)]
-
-# The objects returned by the dataset are all torch.Tensors
-print(type(frames[0]))
-print(frames[0].shape)
-
-# Since we're using pytorch, the shape is in pytorch, channel-first convention (c, h, w).
-# We can compare this shape with the information available for that feature
-pprint(dataset.features[camera_key])
-# In particular:
-print(dataset.features[camera_key]["shape"])
-# The shape is in (h, w, c) which is a more universal format.
-
-# For many machine learning applications we need to load the history of past observations or trajectories of
-# future actions. Our datasets can load previous and future frames for each key/modality, using timestamps
-# differences with the current loaded frame. For instance:
-delta_timestamps = {
-    # loads 4 images: 1 second before current frame, 500 ms before, 200 ms before, and current frame
-    camera_key: [-1, -0.5, -0.20, 0],
-    # loads 6 state vectors: 1.5 seconds before, 1 second before, ... 200 ms, 100 ms, and current frame
-    "observation.state": [-1.5, -1, -0.5, -0.20, -0.10, 0],
-    # loads 64 action vectors: current frame, 1 frame in the future, 2 frames, ... 63 frames in the future
-    "action": [t / dataset.fps for t in range(64)],
-}
-# Note that in any case, these delta_timestamps values need to be multiples of (1/fps) so that added to any
-# timestamp, you still get a valid timestamp.
-
-dataset = LeRobotDataset(repo_id, delta_timestamps=delta_timestamps)
-print(f"\n{dataset[0][camera_key].shape=}")  # (4, c, h, w)
-print(f"{dataset[0]['observation.state'].shape=}")  # (6, c)
-print(f"{dataset[0]['action'].shape=}\n")  # (64, c)
-
-# Finally, our datasets are fully compatible with PyTorch dataloaders and samplers because they are just
-# PyTorch datasets.
-dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
-    dataset,
-    num_workers=0,
-    batch_size=32,
-    shuffle=True,
-)
-
-for batch in dataloader:
-    print(f"{batch[camera_key].shape=}")  # (32, 4, c, h, w)
-    print(f"{batch['observation.state'].shape=}")  # (32, 6, c)
-    print(f"{batch['action'].shape=}")  # (32, 64, c)

-This tutorial will explain the training script, how to use it, and particularly how to configure everything needed for the training run.
-
-> **Note:** The following assumes you're running these commands on a machine equipped with a cuda GPU. If you don't have one (or if you're using a Mac), you can add `--policy.device=cpu` (`--policy.device=mps` respectively). However, be advised that the code executes much slower on cpu.
-
-## The training script
-
-LeRobot offers a training script at [`lerobot/scripts/train.py`](../src/lerobot/scripts/train.py). At a high level it does the following:
-
-- Initialize/load a configuration for the following steps using.
-- Instantiates a dataset.
-- (Optional) Instantiates a simulation environment corresponding to that dataset.
-- Instantiates a policy.
-- Runs a standard training loop with forward pass, backward pass, optimization step, and occasional logging, evaluation (of the policy on the environment), and checkpointing.
-
-## Overview of the configuration system
-
-In the training script, the main function `train` expects a `TrainPipelineConfig` object:
-
-<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
-```python
-# train.py
-@parser.wrap()
-def train(cfg: TrainPipelineConfig):
-```
-<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
-
-You can inspect the `TrainPipelineConfig` defined in [`lerobot/configs/train.py`](../src/lerobot/configs/train.py) (which is heavily commented and meant to be a reference to understand any option)
-
-When running the script, inputs for the command line are parsed thanks to the `@parser.wrap()` decorator and an instance of this class is automatically generated. Under the hood, this is done with [Draccus](https://github.com/dlwh/draccus) which is a tool dedicated to this purpose. If you're familiar with Hydra, Draccus can similarly load configurations from config files (.json, .yaml) and also override their values through command line inputs. Unlike Hydra, these configurations are pre-defined in the code through dataclasses rather than being defined entirely in config files. This allows for more rigorous serialization/deserialization, typing, and to manipulate configuration as objects directly in the code and not as dictionaries or namespaces (which enables nice features in an IDE such as autocomplete, jump-to-def, etc.)
-
-Let's have a look at a simplified example. Amongst other attributes, the training config has the following attributes:
-
-<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
-```python
-@dataclass
-class TrainPipelineConfig:
-    dataset: DatasetConfig
-    env: envs.EnvConfig | None = None
-    policy: PreTrainedConfig | None = None
-```
-<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
-
-in which `DatasetConfig` for example is defined as such:
-
-<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
-```python
-@dataclass
-class DatasetConfig:
-    repo_id: str
-    episodes: list[int] | None = None
-    video_backend: str = "pyav"
-```
-<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
-
-This creates a hierarchical relationship where, for example assuming we have a `cfg` instance of `TrainPipelineConfig`, we can access the `repo_id` value with `cfg.dataset.repo_id`.
-From the command line, we can specify this value by using a very similar syntax `--dataset.repo_id=repo/id`.
-
-By default, every field takes its default value specified in the dataclass. If a field doesn't have a default value, it needs to be specified either from the command line or from a config file – which path is also given in the command line (more in this below). In the example above, the `dataset` field doesn't have a default value which means it must be specified.
-
-## Specifying values from the CLI
-
-Let's say that we want to train [Diffusion Policy](../src/lerobot/policies/diffusion) on the [pusht](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/pusht) dataset, using the [gym_pusht](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-pusht) environment for evaluation. The command to do so would look like this:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \
-    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/pusht \
-    --policy.type=diffusion \
-    --env.type=pusht
-```
-
-Let's break this down:
-
-- To specify the dataset, we just need to specify its `repo_id` on the hub which is the only required argument in the `DatasetConfig`. The rest of the fields have default values and in this case we are fine with those so we can just add the option `--dataset.repo_id=lerobot/pusht`.
-- To specify the policy, we can just select diffusion policy using `--policy` appended with `.type`. Here, `.type` is a special argument which allows us to select config classes inheriting from `draccus.ChoiceRegistry` and that have been decorated with the `register_subclass()` method. To have a better explanation of this feature, have a look at this [Draccus demo](https://github.com/dlwh/draccus?tab=readme-ov-file#more-flexible-configuration-with-choice-types). In our code, we use this mechanism mainly to select policies, environments, robots, and some other components like optimizers. The policies available to select are located in [lerobot/policies](../src/lerobot/policies)
-- Similarly, we select the environment with `--env.type=pusht`. The different environment configs are available in [`lerobot/envs/configs.py`](../src/lerobot/envs/configs.py)
-
-Let's see another example. Let's say you've been training [ACT](../src/lerobot/policies/act) on [lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human) using the [gym-aloha](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-aloha) environment for evaluation with:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \
-    --policy.type=act \
-    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human \
-    --env.type=aloha \
-    --output_dir=outputs/train/act_aloha_insertion
-```
-
-> Notice we added `--output_dir` to explicitly tell where to write outputs from this run (checkpoints, training state, configs etc.). This is not mandatory and if you don't specify it, a default directory will be created from the current date and time, env.type and policy.type. This will typically look like `outputs/train/2025-01-24/16-10-05_aloha_act`.
-
-We now want to train a different policy for aloha on another task. We'll change the dataset and use [lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human) instead. Of course, we also need to change the task of the environment as well to match this other task.
-Looking at the [`AlohaEnv`](../src/lerobot/envs/configs.py) config, the task is `"AlohaInsertion-v0"` by default, which corresponds to the task we trained on in the command above. The [gym-aloha](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-aloha?tab=readme-ov-file#description) environment also has the `AlohaTransferCube-v0` task which corresponds to this other task we want to train on. Putting this together, we can train this new policy on this different task using:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \
-    --policy.type=act \
-    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human \
-    --env.type=aloha \
-    --env.task=AlohaTransferCube-v0 \
-    --output_dir=outputs/train/act_aloha_transfer
-```
-
-## Loading from a config file
-
-Now, let's assume that we want to reproduce the run just above. That run has produced a `train_config.json` file in its checkpoints, which serializes the `TrainPipelineConfig` instance it used:
-
-```json
-{
-    "dataset": {
-        "repo_id": "lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human",
-        "episodes": null,
-        ...
-    },
-    "env": {
-        "type": "aloha",
-        "task": "AlohaTransferCube-v0",
-        "fps": 50,
-        ...
-    },
-    "policy": {
-        "type": "act",
-        "n_obs_steps": 1,
-        ...
-    },
-    ...
-}
-```
-
-We can then simply load the config values from this file using:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \
-    --config_path=outputs/train/act_aloha_transfer/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model/ \
-    --output_dir=outputs/train/act_aloha_transfer_2
-```
-
-`--config_path` is also a special argument which allows to initialize the config from a local config file. It can point to a directory that contains `train_config.json` or to the config file itself directly.
-
-Similarly to Hydra, we can still override some parameters in the CLI if we want to, e.g.:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \
-    --config_path=outputs/train/act_aloha_transfer/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model/ \
-    --output_dir=outputs/train/act_aloha_transfer_2
-    --policy.n_action_steps=80
-```
-
-> Note: While `--output_dir` is not required in general, in this case we need to specify it since it will otherwise take the value from the `train_config.json` (which is `outputs/train/act_aloha_transfer`). In order to prevent accidental deletion of previous run checkpoints, we raise an error if you're trying to write in an existing directory. This is not the case when resuming a run, which is what you'll learn next.
-
-`--config_path` can also accept the repo_id of a repo on the hub that contains a `train_config.json` file, e.g. running:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train --config_path=lerobot/diffusion_pusht
-```
-
-will start a training run with the same configuration used for training [lerobot/diffusion_pusht](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/diffusion_pusht)
-
-## Resume training
-
-Being able to resume a training run is important in case it crashed or aborted for any reason. We'll demonstrate how to do that here.
-
-Let's reuse the command from the previous run and add a few more options:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \
-    --policy.type=act \
-    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human \
-    --env.type=aloha \
-    --env.task=AlohaTransferCube-v0 \
-    --log_freq=25 \
-    --save_freq=100 \
-    --output_dir=outputs/train/run_resumption
-```
-
-Here we've taken care to set up the log frequency and checkpointing frequency to low numbers so we can showcase resumption. You should be able to see some logging and have a first checkpoint within 1 minute (depending on hardware). Wait for the first checkpoint to happen, you should see a line that looks like this in your terminal:
-
-```
-INFO 2025-01-24 16:10:56 ts/train.py:263 Checkpoint policy after step 100
-```
-
-Now let's simulate a crash by killing the process (hit `ctrl`+`c`). We can then simply resume this run from the last checkpoint available with:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \
-    --config_path=outputs/train/run_resumption/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model/ \
-    --resume=true
-```
-
-You should see from the logging that your training picks up from where it left off.
-
-Another reason for which you might want to resume a run is simply to extend training and add more training steps. The number of training steps is set by the option `--steps`, which is 100 000 by default.
-You could double the number of steps of the previous run with:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \
-    --config_path=outputs/train/run_resumption/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model/ \
-    --resume=true \
-    --steps=200000
-```
-
-## Outputs of a run
-
-In the output directory, there will be a folder called `checkpoints` with the following structure:
-
-```bash
-outputs/train/run_resumption/checkpoints
-├── 000100  # checkpoint_dir for training step 100
-│   ├── pretrained_model/
-│   │   ├── config.json  # policy config
-│   │   ├── model.safetensors  # policy weights
-│   │   └── train_config.json  # train config
-│   └── training_state/
-│       ├── optimizer_param_groups.json  #  optimizer param groups
-│       ├── optimizer_state.safetensors  # optimizer state
-│       ├── rng_state.safetensors  # rng states
-│       ├── scheduler_state.json  # scheduler state
-│       └── training_step.json  # training step
-├── 000200
-└── last -> 000200  # symlink to the last available checkpoint
-```
-
-## Fine-tuning a pre-trained policy
-
-In addition to the features currently in Draccus, we've added a special `.path` argument for the policy, which allows to load a policy as you would with `PreTrainedPolicy.from_pretrained()`. In that case, `path` can be a local directory that contains a checkpoint or a repo_id pointing to a pretrained policy on the hub.
-
-For example, we could fine-tune a [policy pre-trained on the aloha transfer task](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/act_aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human) on the aloha insertion task. We can achieve this with:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \
-    --policy.path=lerobot/act_aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human \
-    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human \
-    --env.type=aloha \
-    --env.task=AlohaInsertion-v0
-```
-
-When doing so, keep in mind that the features of the fine-tuning dataset would have to match the input/output features of the pretrained policy.
-
-## Typical logs and metrics
-
-When you start the training process, you will first see your full configuration being printed in the terminal. You can check it to make sure that you configured your run correctly. The final configuration will also be saved with the checkpoint.
-
-After that, you will see training log like this one:
-
-```
-INFO 2024-08-14 13:35:12 ts/train.py:192 step:0 smpl:64 ep:1 epch:0.00 loss:1.112 grdn:15.387 lr:2.0e-07 updt_s:1.738 data_s:4.774
-```
-
-or evaluation log:
-
-```
-INFO 2024-08-14 13:38:45 ts/train.py:226 step:100 smpl:6K ep:52 epch:0.25 ∑rwrd:20.693 success:0.0% eval_s:120.266
-```
-
-These logs will also be saved in wandb if `wandb.enable` is set to `true`. Here are the meaning of some abbreviations:
-
-- `smpl`: number of samples seen during training.
-- `ep`: number of episodes seen during training. An episode contains multiple samples in a complete manipulation task.
-- `epch`: number of time all unique samples are seen (epoch).
-- `grdn`: gradient norm.
-- `∑rwrd`: compute the sum of rewards in every evaluation episode and then take an average of them.
-- `success`: average success rate of eval episodes. Reward and success are usually different except for the sparsing reward setting, where reward=1 only when the task is completed successfully.
-- `eval_s`: time to evaluate the policy in the environment, in second.
-- `updt_s`: time to update the network parameters, in second.
-- `data_s`: time to load a batch of data, in second.
-
-Some metrics are useful for initial performance profiling. For example, if you find the current GPU utilization is low via the `nvidia-smi` command and `data_s` sometimes is too high, you may need to modify batch size or number of dataloading workers to accelerate dataloading. We also recommend [pytorch profiler](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot?tab=readme-ov-file#improve-your-code-with-profiling) for detailed performance probing.
-
-## In short
-
-We'll summarize here the main use cases to remember from this tutorial.
-
-#### Train a policy from scratch – CLI
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \
-    --policy.type=act \  # <- select 'act' policy
-    --env.type=pusht \  # <- select 'pusht' environment
-    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/pusht  # <- train on this dataset
-```
-
-#### Train a policy from scratch - config file + CLI
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \
-    --config_path=path/to/pretrained_model \  # <- can also be a repo_id
-    --policy.n_action_steps=80  # <- you may still override values
-```
-
-#### Resume/continue a training run
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \
-    --config_path=checkpoint/pretrained_model/ \
-    --resume=true \
-    --steps=200000  # <- you can change some training parameters
-```
-
-#### Fine-tuning
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \
-    --policy.path=lerobot/act_aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human \  # <- can also be a local path to a checkpoint

-Now that you know the basics of how to train a policy, you might want to know how to apply this knowledge to actual robots, or how to record your own datasets and train policies on your specific task?
-If that's the case, head over to the next tutorial [`7_get_started_with_real_robot.md`](./7_get_started_with_real_robot.md).

+"""Launch ``lerobot-annotate`` on a Hugging Face job (vllm + Qwen3.6-27B VLM).
+
+Spawns one single-GPU ``h200`` job that:
+
+  1. installs ``lerobot`` from ``main`` plus the annotation extras,
+  2. boots one vllm server with Qwen3.6-27B (dense VLM),
+  3. runs the plan / interjections / vqa modules across the dataset
+     in free-form mode (each episode generates its own subtasks +
+     memory),
+  4. uploads the annotated dataset to ``--new_repo_id`` (when set)
+     or back to ``--repo_id``.
+
+Usage:
+
+    HF_TOKEN=hf_... uv run python examples/annotations/run_hf_job.py
+
+Adjust ``CMD`` (dataset, model, hub repo) and ``flavor`` below for your
+run. For larger datasets, scale to ``h200x4`` and raise
+``--vlm.parallel_servers`` / ``--vlm.num_gpus`` to match.

+This script demonstrates the use of `LeRobotDataset` class for handling and processing robotic datasets from Hugging Face.
+It illustrates how to load datasets, manipulate them, and apply transformations suitable for machine learning tasks in PyTorch.
+
+Features included in this script:
+- Viewing a dataset's metadata and exploring its properties.
+- Loading an existing dataset from the hub or a subset of it.
+- Accessing frames by episode number.
+- Using advanced dataset features like timestamp-based frame selection.
+- Demonstrating compatibility with PyTorch DataLoader for batch processing.
+
+The script ends with examples of how to batch process data using PyTorch's DataLoader.

+SLURM-distributed SARM RA-BC annotation pipeline.
+
+Computes SARM progress values for all frames in a dataset, distributed across
+SLURM workers, then merges the shards into a single sarm_progress.parquet.
+
+Two subcommands, each a separate SLURM submission:
+
+  compute    – N workers, each computes progress for a subset of episodes
+  aggregate  – 1 worker, merges N shards into sarm_progress.parquet, pushes to hub
+
+Usage:
+    python slurm_compute_rabc.py compute \\
+        --repo-id user/dataset --reward-model-path user/sarm_model \\
+        --stride 10 --device cpu --workers 50 --partition cpu
+
+    python slurm_compute_rabc.py aggregate \\
+        --repo-id user/dataset --reward-model-path user/sarm_model \\

+# OMX Follower — Cube Pick And Place Example
+
+This is an example of what is possible to do with LeRobot on a physical setup.
+It is a WIP and being used internally at LeRobot and specific to our setup, but we hope it can be a useful reference for how to use LeRobot APIs and CLIs.
+
+It includes an end-to-end example for the **OMX Follower** robot arm: pick and place a cube dataset, train a policy, and deploy it autonomously.
+
+## Hardware
+
+| Component | Value                                |
+| --------- | ------------------------------------ |
+| Robot     | OMX Follower                         |
+| Cameras   | 2× OpenCV cameras (wrist + top-down) |
+
+## Scripts
+
+| Script                 | Purpose                                                         |
+| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `reset_environment.py` | Standalone utility: sweep workspace, grab cube, place cube      |
+| `record_grab.py`       | Automated data collection: reset → place → record grab episodes |
+
+## Setup
+
+Make sure you have LeRobot installed in your env. (See [the installation guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/installation))
+
+Next, we will declare some environment variables for convenience. Adjust the camera indices and robot port to match your system configuration.
+
+```bash
+export ROBOT_PORT=/dev/ttyACM0
+export TELEOP_PORT=/dev/ttyACM1
+export HF_USERNAME=<your_hf_username>
+export ROBOT_CAMERAS="{ wrist: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30, fourcc: MJPG}, top: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 2, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30, fourcc: MJPG} }"
+```
+
+## Step 1 — Collect Data
+
+```bash
+lerobot-record \
+    --robot.type=omx_follower \
+    --robot.port=$ROBOT_PORT \
+    --robot.id=omx_follower \
+    --robot.cameras="$ROBOT_CAMERAS" \
+    --teleop.type=omx_leader \
+    --teleop.port=$TELEOP_PORT \
+    --teleop.id=omx_leader \
+    --dataset.repo_id=$HF_USERNAME/omx_pickandplace \
+    --dataset.root=data/omx_pickandplace \
+    --dataset.num_episodes=50 \
+    --dataset.single_task="Pick the cube and place it in the blue square" \
+    --dataset.streaming_encoding=true \
+    --dataset.push_to_hub=true
+```
+
+### Bonus Auto-Collect script
+
+/!\ This is specific to our setup and the task of picking and placing a cube. It is not a general-purpose data collection script. As you may notice, it doesn't require a teleop.
+
+```bash
+python -m examples.omx.record_grab \
+    --robot.type=omx_follower \
+    --robot.port=$ROBOT_PORT \
+    --robot.id=omx_follower \
+    --robot.cameras="$ROBOT_CAMERAS" \
+    --dataset.repo_id=$HF_USERNAME/omx_pickandplace \
+    --dataset.root=data/omx_pickandplace \
+    --dataset.num_episodes=50 \
+    --dataset.single_task="Pick the cube and place it in the blue square" \
+    --dataset.streaming_encoding=true \
+    --dataset.push_to_hub=true
+```
+
+Each episode:
+
+1. The arm grabs the cube from the center of the workspace and places it at a random position.
+2. The arm returns to HOME.
+3. A targeted grab is recorded: HOME → approach raised → lower onto cube → grasp → lift → carry → drop → HOME.
+
+A dataset is already available here [`maximellerbach/omx_pickandplace`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/maximellerbach/omx_pickandplace), so you can skip directly to training if you want.
+
+## Step 2 — Train
+
+To train a simple `ACT` policy on the collected dataset, you can use the `lerobot-train` CLI:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --dataset.repo_id=$HF_USERNAME/omx_pickandplace \
+    --policy.type=act \
+    --output_dir=outputs/train/omx_pickandplace_act \
+    --policy.device=cuda \
+    --policy.repo_id=$HF_USERNAME/omx_pickandplace_act \
+    --steps=20000 \
+    --wandb.enable=true
+```
+
+A pretrained `ACT` policy is already available here [`maximellerbach/omx_pickandplace_act`](https://huggingface.co/maximellerbach/omx_pickandplace_act).
+
+## Step 3 — Rollout
+
+Use the `lerobot-rollout` CLI with base strategy:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+    --strategy.type=base \
+    --robot.type=omx_follower \
+    --robot.port=$ROBOT_PORT \
+    --robot.id=omx_follower \
+    --robot.cameras="$ROBOT_CAMERAS" \
+    --policy.path=$HF_USERNAME/omx_pickandplace_act \
+```
+
+For continuous recording with automatic upload (sentry mode):
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+    --strategy.type=sentry \
+    --strategy.upload_every_n_episodes=10 \
+    --robot.type=omx_follower \
+    --robot.port=$ROBOT_PORT \
+    --robot.id=omx_follower \
+    --robot.cameras="$ROBOT_CAMERAS" \
+    --policy.path=$HF_USERNAME/omx_pickandplace_act \
+    --dataset.repo_id=$HF_USERNAME/rollout_omx_pickandplace_act \
+```
+
+## Environment Reset Utility
+
+Those are specific to this particular physical setup. Those are scripts that execute hardcoded sequences of actions on the robot to reset the environment, which is useful for data collection and evaluation. They are not general-purpose scripts.
+
+`reset_environment.py` can be run standalone to prepare the workspace:
+
+```bash
+# Grab cube + place it at a random position on the left side
+python -m examples.omx.reset_environment --port $ROBOT_PORT --mode grab_and_place
+```
+
+It also exposes `grab_cube(robot)` and `place_cube(robot)` for use in custom scripts.

+Auto-reset and cube-grab utility for the OMX robot arm.

+"""Run a trained EE-space policy on SO100 (phone-trained) without recording.
+
+Mirrors ``examples/so100_to_so100_EE/rollout.py`` — the model was trained
+with phone teleoperation in EE space, so at deployment we only need the
+joint↔EE conversion on the robot side; the phone is not used.
+
+Uses :class:`BaseStrategy` (no recording) + :class:`SyncInferenceConfig`
+(inline policy call).  For recording during rollout, switch to Sentry,
+Highlight, or DAgger via ``lerobot-rollout --strategy.type=...``.

+Evaluate Real-Time Chunking (RTC) performance on dataset samples.
+
+This script takes two random samples from a dataset:
+- Uses actions from the first sample as previous chunk
+- Generates new actions for the second sample with and without RTC
+
+It compares action predictions with and without RTC on dataset samples,
+measuring consistency and ground truth alignment.

+model and dataset sharing.
 
-When implementing a new dataset loadable with LeRobotDataset follow these steps:
-- Update `available_datasets_per_env` in `lerobot/__init__.py`
+The base install is intentionally lightweight. Feature-specific dependencies

-When implementing a new environment (e.g. `gym_aloha`), follow these steps:
-- Update `available_tasks_per_env` and `available_datasets_per_env` in `lerobot/__init__.py`
-
-When implementing a new policy class (e.g. `DiffusionPolicy`) follow these steps:
-- Update `available_policies` and `available_policies_per_env`, in `lerobot/__init__.py`
-- Set the required `name` class attribute.
-- Update variables in `tests/test_available.py` by importing your new Policy class

+"""In-process executor that runs the annotation phases.
+
+The executor runs **six phases** in dependency order:
+
+    phase 1: ``plan`` module (plan + subtasks + memory)
+    phase 2: ``interjections`` module (interjections + speech)
+    phase 3: ``plan`` plan-update pass — re-runs plan emission at every

+    phase 4: ``vqa`` module (VQA)
+    phase 5: validator
+    phase 6: writer
+
+Phase 3 is why the ``plan`` module must be re-entered after the
+``interjections`` module — to refresh ``plan`` rows at interjection
+timestamps.
+
+Distributed execution is provided by Hugging Face Jobs (see
+``examples/annotations/run_hf_job.py``); the runner inside the job
+invokes ``lerobot-annotate`` which uses this in-process executor.
+Episode-level concurrency is controlled by

+"""``vqa`` module: general VQA at a timed cadence.
+
+Every ``1/hz`` seconds an emission tick fires; each tick anchors ``K``
+consecutive frames, and every anchored frame gets its own VQA pair. Each
+pair is grounded on that single anchor frame — there is no per-pair frame
+window. For datasets with multiple cameras, every anchored frame produces
+one ``(vqa, user)`` + ``(vqa, assistant)`` pair *per camera*: each pair is
+generated against that camera's frame and stamped with the matching
+``camera`` field on the emitted rows. The resolver disambiguates via
+``camera=...``; recipes that consume VQA do so through one sub-recipe
+per camera (see ``recipes/pi05_hirobot.yaml``).
+
+Within a single (frame, camera) we still emit at most one ``(vqa, user)``
+and one ``(vqa, assistant)`` row, so the resolver contract stays scalar.
+
+Question types covered (per the plan's ``vqa`` table): bbox, keypoint,
+count, attribute, spatial. The assistant's ``content`` is a JSON string
+whose schema depends on the question type. Malformed JSON triggers one
+retry inside :meth:`VlmClient.generate_json`.

+You are generating training data for a Hi Robot-style hierarchical

+every step shown in the video — we cannot retroactively change the
+action stream. To keep training data consistent with the video, the
+"interjection" must align with what the robot is *about to do next* in
+the demonstration, framed as a natural mid-task user request.
+
+The episode's overall task: "{episode_task}".
+
+The images above show roughly {window_seconds:.1f} seconds straddling a

+- Subtask the robot just finished: "{prev_subtask}"
+- Subtask the robot is about to start: "{next_subtask}"
+- Time into episode: {timestamp:.2f}s
+
+Write ONE compact interjection the user would naturally say at this

+Keep it like a mid-task coaching cue, not a full instruction paragraph.
+Also write the robot's compact verbal acknowledgement.
+
+Hard rules:
+
+- The interjection MUST be consistent with the next subtask. The user
+  cannot ask for something different from what the robot then does in
+  the video. If you're tempted to say "actually skip X" or "do Y
+  instead", DO NOT — those would contradict the demonstration.
+- The interjection must reference an object, location, or action that
+  is plausible given the visible scene and the next subtask text.
+- One short phrase or sentence each. Conversational, not robotic.
+- Prefer direct cues: "{next_subtask}, please."; "Now {next_subtask}."
+- Keep robot speech very short: "OK.", "On it.", "Doing that."
+
+Style examples (vary the phrasing — don't reuse these verbatim):

+You are labeling a teleoperated robot demonstration.
+
+The user originally asked: "{episode_task}"
+
+You are shown the entire demonstration as a single video. Watch the
+whole clip, then segment it into a list of consecutive atomic subtasks
+the robot performs.
+
+{observation_block}GROUNDING — read this first, it overrides everything below:
+- Label ONLY what the robot actually does in the video. Every subtask
+  you emit must correspond to motion you can SEE in specific frames.
+- Do NOT invent, anticipate, or pad. If the robot only does one thing
+  (e.g. it just navigates to a location and the clip ends), emit
+  EXACTLY ONE subtask. Many demonstrations are a single atomic skill.
+- ``max_steps`` below is a hard CEILING, not a target. Emitting fewer
+  subtasks than the ceiling is not just allowed, it is expected for
+  short / atomic demonstrations. One correct subtask is far better
+  than several invented ones.
+- If the video does not clearly show the action implied by the task,
+  describe what you actually see — do NOT fabricate the task's steps
+  from the instruction text. The instruction tells you the goal; the
+  VIDEO is the ground truth for what happened.
+
+Authoring rules — Hi Robot atom granularity, pi0.7-style short prompts:
+
+- Each subtask = one COMPOSITE atomic skill the low-level policy can
+  execute end-to-end. A "skill" bundles its own approach motion with
+  its terminal action — do NOT split the approach off as its own
+  subtask. The whole-arm policy already learns to reach as part of
+  every manipulation primitive.
+- Write each subtask as an IMPERATIVE COMMAND, starting with one of
+  these verbs (extend only when none fits):
+    pick up <obj>           — approach + grasp + lift in one subtask
+    put <obj> on/in <loc>   — transport + release in one subtask
+    place <obj> on/in <loc> — synonym of "put"; pick one and stay consistent
+    push <obj>              — contact + linear shove
+    pull <obj>              — contact + linear retract
+    turn <knob/dial/handle> — rotary actuation
+    press <button>          — single-press contact
+    open <drawer/door/lid>  — full open motion
+    close <drawer/door/lid> — full close motion
+    pour <src> into <dst>   — tilt + flow
+    insert <obj> into <slot>— alignment + push-fit
+    go to <loc>             — ONLY when no grasp / actuation follows
+                             (e.g. a pure relocation between phases).
+                             If the next subtask grasps something at
+                             that location, drop "go to ..." and just
+                             write "pick up ..." instead.
+- Forbidden ultra-fine splits — the VLM is NOT allowed to emit these
+  as standalone subtasks; fold them into the parent composite:
+    "move to X"   → fold into "pick up X" (or whatever follows)
+    "reach for X" → fold into "pick up X"
+    "grasp X"     → fold into "pick up X"
+    "lift X"      → fold into "pick up X" (or "put X on Y" if it's
+                    the transport phase of a place)
+    "release X"   → fold into "put X on Y" (or "place X in Y")
+- Keep it SHORT — a verb phrase, not a sentence. Drop articles
+  ("the", "a") and adverbs ("carefully", "slowly"). Add a "how"
+  detail (which hand, which grasp point) ONLY when it is needed to
+  disambiguate. Every subtask must begin with one of the verbs
+  above (no leading nouns, no "then", no "first").
+- NEVER use third person. Never write "the robot", "the arm", "the
+  gripper moves", "it picks up" — the robot is implied. Command it,
+  do not describe it.
+- Use the exact object nouns from the task above. If the task says
+  "cube", every subtask says "cube" — never switch to "block". If it
+  says "box", never switch to "bin"/"container". Keep vocabulary
+  consistent across the whole episode.
+- Good: "pick up blue cube", "put blue cube in box", "open drawer",
+  "turn red knob", "press start button", "go to sink".
+- Bad: "move to blue cube" (approach as its own subtask — forbidden,
+  must be folded into "pick up blue cube"); "the robot arm moves
+  towards the blue cube" (third person, too long); "carefully pick
+  up the cube" (adverb, article); "release the yellow block"
+  ("block" when the task said "cube", and "release" must be folded
+  into a "put"/"place" subtask).
+- Subtasks are non-overlapping and cover the full episode in order.
+  Choose the cut points yourself based on what you see in the video
+  (gripper open/close events, contact, regrasps, transitions).
+- Each subtask spans at least {min_subtask_seconds} seconds. If a
+  candidate span would be shorter, merge it into its neighbour
+  rather than emitting it.
+- Do not exceed {max_steps} subtasks total. Fewer, larger composites
+  are preferred over many micro-steps.
+- Every subtask's [start_time, end_time] must lie within
+  [0.0, {episode_duration}] seconds.
+
+SPECIAL CASES — verb disambiguation (each rule is narrowly visual and
+fires ONLY on the spatial situation it names; it must not change how you
+label any other situation):
+- STACK vs PUT: if an object is placed ON TOP OF another specific object
+  (not on a flat table / shelf / counter), use "stack ... on ...", not
+  "put". "stack blue book on green book", NOT "put blue book on table".
+- INSERT vs PUT: if an object goes INTO a fitted slot / hole / socket /
+  receptacle (push-fit), use "insert ... into ...", not "put".
+- RETRIEVE/PICK-UP vs PUT (direction): watch the gripper. If it CLOSES
+  on the object and the object moves WITH the hand, it is "pick up" /
+  "retrieve" (object leaves its location). If the gripper OPENS and the
+  object stays where the hand left it, it is "put" / "place" (object
+  arrives at a location). Decide by which way the object moves, not by
+  where the hand ends up.
+- POUR vs PUT: only use "pour" when the source is tilted and contents
+  flow out; moving a full container without tilting is "put"/"place".

+You are generating structured augmentations of a robot task instruction
+for training a language-conditioned policy. Unlike free-form rephrasing,
+your variants follow a NAMED 5-axis taxonomy — each axis omits or varies
+a specific element of the task while preserving its meaning.
+
+Original task: "{base_task}"
+
+Produce variants along five named axes. Each axis has a target count.
+The whole batch should expose the policy to maximum linguistic diversity
+WITHOUT changing what the robot is supposed to do.
+
+Axes and target counts:
+
+  synonym_paraphrase ({n_synonym}):
+    Different wording / verbs / sentence structure. ALL information
+    from the original task is preserved — same object, same arm
+    specification if present, same orientation if present, same grasp
+    if present.
+
+  omit_arm ({n_omit_arm}):
+    Drop the left/right/both arm specification from the task. Skip
+    entirely (emit 0 entries) if the original task does NOT mention an
+    arm. Do not invent an arm specification just to omit it.
+
+  omit_orientation ({n_omit_orientation}):
+    Drop orientation cues (upright, sideways, facing the user,
+    long-edge-first, etc.). Skip entirely if no orientation cue is
+    present in the original task.
+
+  omit_grasp_method ({n_omit_grasp_method}):
+    Drop the grip / grasp method specification (pinch, wrap, hold by
+    the rim, etc.). Skip entirely if no grasp method is mentioned.
+
+  combined_omissions ({n_combined}):
+    Combine TWO of the above omissions simultaneously (e.g. drop both
+    arm and orientation). Skip entirely if fewer than two of (arm,
+    orientation, grasp_method) appear in the original task.
+
+Hard rules:
+- Each variant MUST preserve the core action, the target object, AND
+  the goal / destination. Do not change which object is involved, where
+  it goes, or the high-level action. "Navigate to the stove" may become
+  "go to the stove" or "head over to the stove" — it must NEVER become
+  "wander around the kitchen", "explore the room", or anything that
+  drops or generalises the stove destination. If you cannot vary the
+  wording without changing the goal, emit fewer variants.
+- Only the FIVE listed elements (wording, arm, orientation, grasp
+  method, or a combination) may be varied or omitted. The verb's
+  meaning, the object, and the destination are fixed.
+- Each variant is plain prose, no markdown, no quotes, no list numbers.
+- Each variant must be DISTINCT from every other variant in the entire
+  output, both within and across axes. Near-duplicates are not allowed.
+- If an axis cannot reach its target count because the original task
+  lacks the omittable element, emit fewer entries — do NOT pad the
+  axis with paraphrases that belong to a different axis.
+- Variants should not all start with verbs — vary sentence structure
+  (some imperative, some polite request, some question).

+"""Shared Qwen-VL client.
+
+The pipeline uses a single shared VLM across modules. vLLM is preferred when
+available (high throughput, JSON-guided decoding); transformers is the
+fallback. A ``stub`` backend is used for unit tests so fixtures never call
+into a real model.
+
+The client speaks one method, :meth:`VlmClient.generate_json`, which:
+
+- accepts a list of OpenAI/HF-style multimodal messages,
+- requests JSON output from the server,
+- batches requests transparently,
+- and reprompts once on a JSON parse failure with an inline correction
+  message before raising.

+"""Final parquet rewrite.
+
+For every episode the writer:
+
+1. reads the staged module outputs,
+2. partitions them into a persistent slice (PERSISTENT_STYLES) and an event
+   slice (EVENT_ONLY_STYLES + style=None tool-call atoms),
+3. sorts each slice deterministically,
+4. broadcasts the persistent slice across every frame in the episode,
+5. for each frame, materializes the sublist of event rows whose timestamp
+   exactly equals that frame's timestamp,
+6. drops the legacy ``subtask_index`` column,
+7. writes the parquet shard back in place.
+
+The writer does NOT add a dataset-level ``tools`` column. Tool *calls* are
+emitted per-row via the existing ``tool_calls`` field on the v3.1 row
+struct for every speech atom. The tool *schema* (the description
+of the ``say`` function and its parameters) is a fixed code constant —
+``SAY_TOOL_SCHEMA`` below — and downstream chat-template consumers import
+it directly rather than reading a redundant per-row column.
+
+Invariants enforced here (and re-checked by the validator):
+
+- per-episode persistent slice is byte-identical across every frame;
+- ``language_events`` rows on a frame all have ``timestamp == frame_ts``
+  (timestamps come straight from the source parquet — never recomputed);
+- every row passes ``column_for_style(style)``.

+SARM Subtask Annotation using local GPU (Qwen3-VL).
+
+This script implements the annotation approach from the SARM paper using local GPU inference:
+"SARM: Stage-Aware Reward Modeling for Long Horizon Robot Manipulation"
+Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2509.25358
+
+What it does:
+1. Takes videos from a LeRobot dataset
+2. Uses Qwen3-VL running locally on GPU to identify when subtasks occur
+3. Saves subtask timestamps to the dataset metadata
+4. Optionally pushes the annotated dataset to HuggingFace Hub
+
+SARM trains reward models that predict:
+  - Stage: Which subtask is currently being executed (discrete classification)
+  - Progress: How far along the subtask we are (continuous 0-1)
+
+Supports three annotation modes:
+  1. No annotations (no args): Auto-creates single sparse "task" stage covering full episode.
+     Use with SARM config annotation_mode="single_stage" for simple tasks.
+
+  2. Dense-only (--dense-only --dense-subtasks): Dense annotations from VLM, auto-generated
+     single sparse "task" stage. Use with annotation_mode="dense_only".
+
+  3. Dual mode (--sparse-subtasks + --dense-subtasks): Both sparse and dense annotations
+     from VLM. Use with annotation_mode="dual".
+
+Requirements:
+  - GPU with sufficient VRAM (16GB+ recommended for 30B model)
+  - `pip install transformers, torch, qwen-vl-utils`
+
+Run with:
+```bash
+python examples/dataset_annotation/subtask_annotation.py \
+  --repo-id your-username/your-dataset \
+  --sparse-subtasks "Do ..." \
+  --dense-subtasks "Do task 1, Do task 2, Do task 3" \
+  --video-key observation.images.base \

+        # Role
+        You are a Robotics Vision System specializing in temporal action localization for robot manipulation. Your job is to segment a single demonstration video into distinct, non-overlapping atomic actions from a fixed subtask list.
+
+        # Subtask Label Set (Closed Vocabulary)
+        You must strictly identify the video segments using ONLY the following labels. Do not create new labels or modify existing ones:
+
+        [
+        {subtask_str}
+        ]
+
+        The video shows one successful execution of all subtasks in a logical order.
+
+        # Ground-Truth Semantics (Very Important)
+        Use **visual state changes** to define when a subtask starts and ends. Do NOT assume equal durations for the subtasks.
+
+        - A subtask **starts** at the first frame where the robot's motion clearly initiates that subtask.
+        - A subtask **ends** at the first frame where that specific action is visually completed and the manipulated object reaches a temporary, stable configuration.
+
+        If there are short pauses or micro-motions that don't clearly correspond to a new subtask, they belong to the **current** subtask.
+
+        # Hard Constraints & Logic
+        1. **Continuous Coverage (No Gaps):**
+           - The entire video duration from "00:00" to the final timestamp must be covered by subtasks.
+           - There can be no gaps between subtasks.
+           - If there is any idle or ambiguous time between clear actions, extend the *preceding* subtask to cover it.
+
+        2. **Boundary Consistency:**
+           - The `"end"` timestamp of one subtask must be exactly equal to the `"start"` timestamp of the next subtask.
+           - Boundaries must coincide with a real visual state transition, not just a convenient time split.
+
+        3. **Chronological Order, One Occurrence Each:**
+           - This is a single successful demonstration.
+           - Each subtask from the vocabulary appears **exactly once**, in the correct logical order.
+           - **Durations may be very different** between subtasks. Never assume they are similar lengths. Base all boundaries only on the video.
+
+        4. **Reject Uniform Segmentation (Important):**
+           - Do NOT simply divide the video into equal or nearly equal time chunks.
+           - If your boundaries would result in subtasks with similar durations (e.g. all around 5 seconds), treat this as evidence that your segmentation is wrong and refine the boundaries.
+           - Only use nearly equal durations if the video truly shows each subtask taking the same amount of time (this is very rare).
+
+        5. **Timestamps:**
+           - Timestamps must be in `"MM:SS"` format.
+           - The first subtask always starts at `"00:00"`.
+           - The last subtask ends at the final visible frame of the video.
+
+        # Step 1 — Textual Timeline (must do this first)
+        First, write a extensive and detailed textual timeline describing what happens in the video with approximate timestamps.
+        For each subtask, include:
+        - its name
+        - an approximate start and end time,
+        - an description of the visual event at the boundary (e.g. "shirt fully folded to the left", "robot rotates folded shirt 90 degrees").
+
+        Format this as a bullet list.
+
+        # Step 2 — JSON Output (final answer)
+        After the textual timeline, output **only** valid JSON with this structure.
+        The JSON **must** be consistent with the textual timeline above:
+
+        {{
+          "subtasks": [
+            {{
+              "name": "EXACT_NAME_FROM_LIST",
+              "timestamps": {{
+                "start": "MM:SS",
+                "end":   "MM:SS"
+              }}
+            }},
+            {{
+              "name": "EXACT_NAME_FROM_LIST",
+              "timestamps": {{
+                "start": "MM:SS",
+                "end":   "MM:SS"
+              }}
+            }}
+          ]
+        }}
+
+        Do not add any extra keys to the JSON.

         structure of the dataset is entirely described in the info.json file, which can be easily downloaded
         or viewed directly on the hub before downloading any actual data. The type of files used are very
         simple and do not need complex tools to be read, it only uses .parquet, .json and .mp4 files (and .md
         for the README).
 
         Args:
-            repo_id (str): This is the repo id that will be used to fetch the dataset. Locally, the dataset
-                will be stored under root/repo_id.
-            root (Path | None, optional): Local directory to use for downloading/writing files. You can also

-            image_transforms (Callable | None, optional): You can pass standard v2 image transforms from
-                torchvision.transforms.v2 here which will be applied to visual modalities (whether they come
-                from videos or images). Defaults to None.
+            episode_filter (Callable[[dict], bool] | None, optional): Predicate over per-episode
+                metadata rows used to select episodes. Evaluated against ``meta/`` without ``stats`` keys
+                (e.g.``task_index``, ``episode_index``, ``length``, ``from_timestamp``, ``to_timestamp``).

+                Transform applied to visual modalities inside `__getitem__` after image decoding / tensor
+                conversion. This works for both image-backed and video-backed observations and can later be

-This script will help you convert any LeRobot dataset already pushed to the hub from codebase version 1.6 to
-2.0. You will be required to provide the 'tasks', which is a short but accurate description in plain English
-for each of the task performed in the dataset. This will allow to easily train models with task-conditioning.
-
-We support 3 different scenarios for these tasks (see instructions below):
-    1. Single task dataset: all episodes of your dataset have the same single task.
-    2. Single task episodes: the episodes of your dataset each contain a single task but they can differ from
-      one episode to the next.
-    3. Multi task episodes: episodes of your dataset may each contain several different tasks.
-
-
-Can you can also provide a robot config .yaml file (not mandatory) to this script via the option
-'--robot-config' so that it writes information about the robot (robot type, motors names) this dataset was
-recorded with. For now, only Aloha/Koch type robots are supported with this option.
-
-
-# 1. Single task dataset
-If your dataset contains a single task, you can simply provide it directly via the CLI with the
-'--single-task' option.
-
-Examples:
-
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.datasets.v2.convert_dataset_v1_to_v2 \
-    --repo-id lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human_image \

-# 2. Single task episodes
-If your dataset is a multi-task dataset, you have two options to provide the tasks to this script:
-
-- If your dataset already contains a language instruction column in its parquet file, you can simply provide
-  this column's name with the '--tasks-col' arg.
-
-    Example:
-
-    ```bash
-    python -m lerobot.datasets.v2.convert_dataset_v1_to_v2 \
-        --repo-id lerobot/stanford_kuka_multimodal_dataset \
-        --tasks-col "language_instruction" \
-        --local-dir data
-    ```
-
-- If your dataset doesn't contain a language instruction, you should provide the path to a .json file with the
-  '--tasks-path' arg. This file should have the following structure where keys correspond to each
-  episode_index in the dataset, and values are the language instruction for that episode.
-
-    Example:
-
-    ```json
-    {
-        "0": "Do something",
-        "1": "Do something else",
-        "2": "Do something",
-        "3": "Go there",
-        ...
-    }
-    ```
-
-# 3. Multi task episodes
-If you have multiple tasks per episodes, your dataset should contain a language instruction column in its
-parquet file, and you must provide this column's name with the '--tasks-col' arg.
-
-Example:
-
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.datasets.v2.convert_dataset_v1_to_v2 \
-    --repo-id lerobot/stanford_kuka_multimodal_dataset \
-    --tasks-col "language_instruction" \
-    --local-dir data
-```

-This script will help you convert any LeRobot dataset already pushed to the hub from codebase version 2.0 to
-2.1. It will:
-
-- Generate per-episodes stats and writes them in `episodes_stats.jsonl`
-- Check consistency between these new stats and the old ones.
-- Remove the deprecated `stats.json`.
-- Update codebase_version in `info.json`.
-- Push this new version to the hub on the 'main' branch and tags it with "v2.1".

-    (note that you need to compile against ffmpeg<4.3)

+    On supported platforms, prefer `decode_video_frames_torchcodec`, which is faster and supports
+    accurate seek.
 
-    While both use cpu, "video_reader" is supposedly faster than "pyav" but requires additional setup.
-    For more info on video decoding, see `benchmark/video/README.md`
+    PyAV doesn't support accurate seek: we seek to the nearest preceding keyframe and decode
+    forward until we have covered the requested timestamp range. The number of key frames in a
+    video can be adjusted at encoding time to trade off decoding speed against file size.

-    Note: Video benefits from inter-frame compression. Instead of storing every frame individually,
-    the encoder stores a reference frame (or a key frame) and subsequent frames as differences relative to
-    that key frame. As a consequence, to access a requested frame, we need to load the preceding key frame,

+    This class bridges that API to Gymnasium so that ``lerobot-eval`` can drive

+    The underlying SAPIEN environment is created lazily on the first ``reset()``

+    ------------
+    The ``pixels`` dict uses the raw RoboTwin camera names as keys (e.g.

+            (crop_h = int(resize_shape[0] * crop_ratio), likewise for width).
+            Set to 1.0 to disable cropping. Only takes effect when resize_shape is not None.

-    This function exists because (for now) we need to parse features from either a dataset or an environment
-    in order to properly dimension and instantiate a policy for that dataset or environment.
+    This factory function handles the logic of creating a policy, which requires
+    determining the input and output feature shapes. These shapes can be derived
+    either from a `LeRobotDatasetMetadata` object or an `EnvConfig` object. The function
+    can either initialize a new policy from scratch or load a pretrained one.
 
     Args:
-        cfg (PreTrainedConfig): The config of the policy to make. If `pretrained_path` is set, the policy will
-            be loaded with the weights from that path.

-            statistics to use for (un)normalization of inputs/outputs in the policy. Defaults to None.

-            provided if ds_meta is not. Defaults to None.

+        cfg: The configuration for the policy to be created. If `cfg.pretrained_path` is
+             set, the policy will be loaded with weights from that path.
+        ds_meta: Dataset metadata used to infer feature shapes and types. Also provides
+                 statistics for normalization layers.
+        env_cfg: Environment configuration used to infer feature shapes and types.
+                 One of `ds_meta` or `env_cfg` must be provided.

+# FastWAM `wan` package
+
+This package holds FastWAM's model implementation. It mixes a small **vendored
+subset of the official Wan2.2 source tree** with FastWAM's own code, kept flat in
+a single directory.
+
+## Vendored from Wan2.2
+
+- Upstream repository: https://github.com/Wan-Video/Wan2.2
+- Upstream commit: `42bf4cfaa384bc21833865abc2f9e6c0e67233dc`
+- License: Apache-2.0, matching the license in `LICENSE.txt` from the upstream repository
+
+Copied files:
+
+- `model.py` (was `wan/modules/model.py`), trimmed: the flash-attention path
+  (the vendored `attention.py` and the block/model `forward`s) was removed.
+  FastWAM's DiT uses SDPA instead (see `video_dit.py`).
+- `get_sampling_sigmas` in `video_dit.py` (was `wan/utils/fm_solvers.py`), inlined
+  next to its only caller.
+
+This subset only backs FastWAM's **custom MoT video DiT**. The Wan2.2 VAE,
+UMT5 text encoder, and tokenizer are no longer vendored - they come from
+`diffusers.AutoencoderKLWan`, `transformers.UMT5EncoderModel`, and
+`transformers.AutoTokenizer` (see `components.py` and `adapters.py`).
+
+## FastWAM's own code
+
+- `video_dit.py` builds on `model` (`sinusoidal_embedding_1d`, `rope_params`,
+  `rope_apply`, …) and computes attention with SDPA (`fastwam_masked_attention`). Its
+  `WanContinuousFlowMatchScheduler` uses `get_sampling_sigmas` for Wan-compatible
+  inference timesteps.
+- `components.py` / `adapters.py` load the VAE, text encoder, tokenizer, and the
+  custom DiT weights.
+- `modular.py` defines the FastWAM model (`ActionDiT`, `MoT`, `FastWAM`, …).

-    SAC is an off-policy actor-critic deep RL algorithm based on the maximum entropy

+"""LingBot-VA policy: an autoregressive video-action world model on the Wan2.2 stack.
+
+The sampling loop is a faithful re-implementation of the upstream streaming server
+(``wan_va/wan_va_server.py``) and LIBERO client (``evaluation/libero/client.py``), adapted
+to LeRobot's ``select_action`` interface:
+
+  * the trainable dual-stream transformer is owned as a sub-module and round-trips in the
+    single ``model.safetensors`` checkpoint;
+  * the frozen Wan VAE + UMT5 text encoder + tokenizer are *lazily pulled* from
+    ``config.wan_pretrained_path`` (not bundled), so the LeRobot checkpoint stays small;
+  * ``predict_action_chunk`` runs one autoregressive chunk (video stream then action
+    stream, each with CFG and its own flow-matching scheduler) and updates the KV cache;
+  * ``select_action`` drains a per-step action queue and records the real observed
+    keyframes that are fed back into the KV cache when the queue is refilled.
+
+NOTE: The streaming path is written for single-environment eval (``--eval.batch_size=1``).

+"""MolmoAct2 policy for LeRobot.
+
+MolmoAct2 is a VLM-based robotics policy from Allen AI that combines a
+Molmo vision-language backbone with a per-layer flow-matching action expert
+for continuous action generation, plus an optional discrete action token
+head. This module wraps the vendored HF model implementation
+(``molmoact2_hf_model/``) into the LeRobot ``PreTrainedPolicy`` interface.

-                are their normalization modes among:
-                    - "mean_std": subtract the mean and divide by standard deviation.
-                    - "min_max": map to [-1, 1] range.
-            stats (dict, optional): A dictionary where keys are output modalities (e.g. "observation.image")
-                and values are dictionaries of statistic types and their values (e.g.
-                `{"mean": torch.randn(3,1,1)}, "std": torch.randn(3,1,1)}`). If provided, as expected for
-                training the model for the first time, these statistics will overwrite the default buffers. If
-                not provided, as expected for finetuning or evaluation, the default buffers should to be
-                overwritten by a call to `policy.load_state_dict(state_dict)`. That way, initializing the
-                dataset is not needed to get the stats, since they are already in the policy state_dict.

+class Qwen2_5_VLConfig(PretrainedConfig):
+    r"""
+    This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a [`Qwen2_5_VLModel`]. It is used to instantiate a
+    Qwen2-VL model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration
+    with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of
+    Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct [Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct).
+
+    Configuration objects inherit from [`PretrainedConfig`] and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
+    documentation from [`PretrainedConfig`] for more information.
+
+
+    Args:
+        vocab_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 152064):
+            Vocabulary size of the Qwen2_5_VL model. Defines the number of different tokens that can be represented by the
+            `inputs_ids` passed when calling [`Qwen2_5_VLModel`]
+        hidden_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 8192):
+            Dimension of the hidden representations.
+        intermediate_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 29568):
+            Dimension of the MLP representations.
+        num_hidden_layers (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 80):
+            Number of hidden layers in the Transformer encoder.
+        num_attention_heads (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 64):
+            Number of attention heads for each attention layer in the Transformer encoder.
+        num_key_value_heads (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 8):
+            This is the number of key_value heads that should be used to implement Grouped Query Attention. If
+            `num_key_value_heads=num_attention_heads`, the model will use Multi Head Attention (MHA), if
+            `num_key_value_heads=1` the model will use Multi Query Attention (MQA) otherwise GQA is used. When
+            converting a multi-head checkpoint to a GQA checkpoint, each group key and value head should be constructed
+            by meanpooling all the original heads within that group. For more details checkout [this
+            paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.13245.pdf). If it is not specified, will default to `32`.
+        hidden_act (`str` or `function`, *optional*, defaults to `"silu"`):
+            The non-linear activation function (function or string) in the decoder.
+        max_position_embeddings (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 32768):
+            The maximum sequence length that this model might ever be used with.
+        initializer_range (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.02):
+            The standard deviation of the truncated_normal_initializer for initializing all weight matrices.
+        rms_norm_eps (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 1e-05):
+            The epsilon used by the rms normalization layers.
+        use_cache (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`):
+            Whether or not the model should return the last key/values attentions (not used by all models). Only
+            relevant if `config.is_decoder=True`.
+        tie_word_embeddings (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`):
+            Whether the model's input and output word embeddings should be tied.
+        rope_theta (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 1000000.0):
+            The base period of the RoPE embeddings.
+        use_sliding_window (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`):
+            Whether to use sliding window attention.
+        sliding_window (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 4096):
+            Sliding window attention (SWA) window size. If not specified, will default to `4096`.
+        max_window_layers (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 80):
+            The number of layers that use SWA (Sliding Window Attention). The bottom layers use SWA while the top use full attention.
+        attention_dropout (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.0):
+            The dropout ratio for the attention probabilities.
+        vision_config (`Dict`, *optional*):
+            The config for the visual encoder initialization.
+        rope_scaling (`Dict`, *optional*):
+            Dictionary containing the scaling configuration for the RoPE embeddings. NOTE: if you apply new rope type
+            and you expect the model to work on longer `max_position_embeddings`, we recommend you to update this value
+            accordingly.
+            Expected contents:
+                `rope_type` (`str`):
+                    The sub-variant of RoPE to use. Can be one of ['default', 'linear', 'dynamic', 'yarn', 'longrope',
+                    'llama3'], with 'default' being the original RoPE implementation.
+                `factor` (`float`, *optional*):
+                    Used with all rope types except 'default'. The scaling factor to apply to the RoPE embeddings. In
+                    most scaling types, a `factor` of x will enable the model to handle sequences of length x *
+                    original maximum pre-trained length.
+                `original_max_position_embeddings` (`int`, *optional*):

+                    pretraining.
+                `attention_factor` (`float`, *optional*):
+                    Used with 'yarn' and 'longrope'. The scaling factor to be applied on the attention
+                    computation. If unspecified, it defaults to value recommended by the implementation, using the
+                    `factor` field to infer the suggested value.
+                `beta_fast` (`float`, *optional*):
+                    Only used with 'yarn'. Parameter to set the boundary for extrapolation (only) in the linear
+                    ramp function. If unspecified, it defaults to 32.
+                `beta_slow` (`float`, *optional*):
+                    Only used with 'yarn'. Parameter to set the boundary for interpolation (only) in the linear
+                    ramp function. If unspecified, it defaults to 1.
+                `short_factor` (`List[float]`, *optional*):
+                    Only used with 'longrope'. The scaling factor to be applied to short contexts (<
+                    `original_max_position_embeddings`). Must be a list of numbers with the same length as the hidden
+                    size divided by the number of attention heads divided by 2
+                `long_factor` (`List[float]`, *optional*):
+                    Only used with 'longrope'. The scaling factor to be applied to long contexts (<
+                    `original_max_position_embeddings`). Must be a list of numbers with the same length as the hidden
+                    size divided by the number of attention heads divided by 2
+                `low_freq_factor` (`float`, *optional*):
+                    Only used with 'llama3'. Scaling factor applied to low frequency components of the RoPE
+                `high_freq_factor` (`float`, *optional*):
+                    Only used with 'llama3'. Scaling factor applied to high frequency components of the RoPE

+
+    Explanation:
+        Multimodal 3D rotary position embedding is an extension to 1D rotary position embedding. The input embedding
+        sequence contains vision (images / videos) embedding and text embedding or just contains text embedding. For
+        vision embedding part, we apply rotary position embedding on temporal, height and width dimension separately.
+        Here we split the channel dimension to 3 chunks for the temporal, height and width rotary position embedding.
+        For text embedding part, we just apply 1D rotary position embedding. The three rotary position index (temporal,
+        height and width) of text embedding is always the same, so the text embedding rotary position embedding has no
+        difference with modern LLMs.
+
+    Args:
+        q (`torch.Tensor`): The query tensor.
+        k (`torch.Tensor`): The key tensor.
+        cos (`torch.Tensor`): The cosine part of the rotary embedding.
+        sin (`torch.Tensor`): The sine part of the rotary embedding.
+        position_ids (`torch.Tensor`):
+            The position indices of the tokens corresponding to the query and key tensors. For example, this can be
+            used to pass offsetted position ids when working with a KV-cache.
+        mrope_section(`List(int)`):
+            Multimodal rope section is for channel dimension of temporal, height and width in rope calculation.
+        unsqueeze_dim (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 1):
+            The 'unsqueeze_dim' argument specifies the dimension along which to unsqueeze cos[position_ids] and
+            sin[position_ids] so that they can be properly broadcasted to the dimensions of q and k. For example, note
+            that cos[position_ids] and sin[position_ids] have the shape [batch_size, seq_len, head_dim]. Then, if q and
+            k have the shape [batch_size, heads, seq_len, head_dim], then setting unsqueeze_dim=1 makes
+            cos[position_ids] and sin[position_ids] broadcastable to the shapes of q and k. Similarly, if q and k have
+            the shape [batch_size, seq_len, heads, head_dim], then set unsqueeze_dim=2.

+            and modify to your needs. See diagram 1 in [the paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.13461) for more

+        Calculate the 3D rope index based on image and video's temporal, height and width in LLM.
+
+        Explanation:
+            Each embedding sequence contains vision embedding and text embedding or just contains text embedding.
+
+            For pure text embedding sequence, the rotary position embedding has no difference with modern LLMs.
+            Examples:
+                input_ids: [T T T T T], here T is for text.
+                temporal position_ids: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
+                height position_ids: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
+                width position_ids: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
+
+            For vision and text embedding sequence, we calculate 3D rotary position embedding for vision part
+            and 1D rotary position embedding for text part.
+            Examples:
+                Temporal (Time): 3 patches, representing different segments of the video in time.
+                Height: 2 patches, dividing each frame vertically.
+                Width: 2 patches, dividing each frame horizontally.
+                We also have some important parameters:
+                fps (Frames Per Second): The video's frame rate, set to 1. This means one frame is processed each second.
+                tokens_per_second: This is a crucial parameter. It dictates how many "time-steps" or "temporal tokens" are conceptually packed into a one-second interval of the video. In this case, we have 25 tokens per second. So each second of the video will be represented with 25 separate time points. It essentially defines the temporal granularity.
+                temporal_patch_size: The number of frames that compose one temporal patch. Here, it's 2 frames.
+                interval: The step size for the temporal position IDs, calculated as tokens_per_second * temporal_patch_size / fps. In this case, 25 * 2 / 1 = 50. This means that each temporal patch will be have a difference of 50 in the temporal position IDs.
+                input_ids: [V V V V V V V V V V V V T T T T T], here V is for vision.
+                vision temporal position_ids: [0, 0, 0, 0, 50, 50, 50, 50, 100, 100, 100, 100]
+                vision height position_ids: [0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1]
+                vision width position_ids: [0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1]
+                text temporal position_ids: [101, 102, 103, 104, 105]
+                text height position_ids: [101, 102, 103, 104, 105]
+                text width position_ids: [101, 102, 103, 104, 105]
+                Here we calculate the text start position_ids as the max vision position_ids plus 1.

+    This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a [`Florence2ForConditionalGeneration`]. It is used to instantiate an
+    Florence-2 model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture.
+
+    Configuration objects inherit from [`PretrainedConfig`] and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
+    documentation from [`PretrainedConfig`] for more information.
+
+    Args:
+        vision_config (`Florence2VisionConfig`,  *optional*):
+            Custom vision config or dict
+        text_config (`Union[AutoConfig, dict]`, *optional*):
+            The config object of the text backbone.
+        ignore_index (`int`, *optional*, defaults to -100):
+            The ignore index for the loss function.
+        vocab_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 51289):
+            Vocabulary size of the Florence2model. Defines the number of different tokens that can be represented by the
+            `inputs_ids` passed when calling [`~Florence2ForConditionalGeneration`]
+        projection_dim (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 1024):
+            Dimension of the multimodal projection space.
+
+    Example:
+
+    ```python
+    >>> from transformers import Florence2ForConditionalGeneration, Florence2Config, CLIPVisionConfig, BartConfig
+
+    >>> # Initializing a clip-like vision config
+    >>> vision_config = CLIPVisionConfig()
+
+    >>> # Initializing a Bart config
+    >>> text_config = BartConfig()
+
+    >>> # Initializing a Florence-2 configuration
+    >>> configuration = Florence2Config(vision_config, text_config)
+
+    >>> # Initializing a model from the florence-2 configuration
+    >>> model = Florence2ForConditionalGeneration(configuration)

+                This is useful if you want more control over how to convert `input_ids` indices into associated vectors

+"""
+A generic script to migrate LeRobot policies with built-in normalization layers to the new
+pipeline-based processor system.
+
+This script performs the following steps:
+1.  Loads a pretrained policy model and its configuration from a local path or the
+    Hugging Face Hub.
+2.  Scans the model's state dictionary to extract normalization statistics (e.g., mean,
+    std, min, max) for all features.
+3.  Creates two new processor pipelines:
+    - A preprocessor that normalizes inputs (observations) and outputs (actions).
+    - A postprocessor that unnormalizes outputs (actions) for inference.
+4.  Removes the original normalization layers from the model's state dictionary,
+    creating a "clean" model.
+5.  Saves the new clean model, the preprocessor, the postprocessor, and a generated
+    model card to a new directory.
+6.  Optionally pushes all the new artifacts to the Hugging Face Hub.
+
+Usage:
+    python src/lerobot/processor/migrate_policy_normalization.py \
+        --pretrained-path lerobot/act_aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human \
+        --push-to-hub \
+        --branch main
+
+Note: This script now uses the modern `make_pre_post_processors` and `make_policy_config`
+factory functions from `lerobot.policies.factory` to create processors and configurations,
+ensuring consistency with the current codebase.
+
+The script extracts normalization statistics from the old model's state_dict, creates clean
+processor pipelines using the factory functions, and saves a migrated model that is compatible
+with the new PolicyProcessorPipeline architecture.

+
+This PR migrates your model to the new LeRobot policy format using the modern PolicyProcessorPipeline architecture.
+
+## What Changed
+
+### **New Architecture - PolicyProcessorPipeline**
+Your model now uses external PolicyProcessorPipeline components for data processing instead of built-in normalization layers. This provides:
+- **Modularity**: Separate preprocessing and postprocessing pipelines
+- **Flexibility**: Easy to swap, configure, and debug processing steps
+- **Compatibility**: Works with the latest LeRobot ecosystem
+
+### **Normalization Extraction**
+We've extracted normalization statistics from your model's state_dict and removed the built-in normalization layers:
+- **Extracted patterns**: `normalize_inputs.*`, `unnormalize_outputs.*`, `normalize.*`, `unnormalize.*`, `input_normalizer.*`, `output_normalizer.*`
+- **Statistics preserved**: Mean, std, min, max values for all features
+- **Clean model**: State dict now contains only core model weights
+
+### **Files Added**
+- **preprocessor_config.json**: Configuration for input preprocessing pipeline
+- **postprocessor_config.json**: Configuration for output postprocessing pipeline
+- **model.safetensors**: Clean model weights without normalization layers
+- **config.json**: Updated model configuration
+- **train_config.json**: Training configuration
+- **README.md**: Updated model card with migration information
+
+### **Benefits**
+- **Backward Compatible**: Your model behavior remains identical
+- **Future Ready**: Compatible with latest LeRobot features and updates
+- **Debuggable**: Easy to inspect and modify processing steps
+- **Portable**: Processors can be shared and reused across models
+
+### **Usage**
+```python
+# Load your migrated model
+from lerobot.policies import get_policy_class
+from lerobot.processor import PolicyProcessorPipeline
+
+# The preprocessor and postprocessor are now external
+preprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained("your-model-repo", config_filename="preprocessor_config.json")
+postprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained("your-model-repo", config_filename="postprocessor_config.json")
+policy = get_policy_class("your-policy-type").from_pretrained("your-model-repo")
+
+# Process data through the pipeline
+processed_batch = preprocessor(raw_batch)
+action = policy(processed_batch)
+final_action = postprocessor(action)

+class _NormalizationMixin:
+    """
+    A mixin class providing core functionality for normalization and unnormalization.
+
+    This class manages normalization statistics (`stats`), converts them to tensors for
+    efficient computation, handles device placement, and implements the logic for
+    applying normalization transformations (mean/std and min/max). It is designed to
+    be inherited by concrete `ProcessorStep` implementations and should not be used
+    directly.
+
+    **Stats Override Preservation:**
+    When stats are explicitly provided during construction (e.g., via overrides in
+    `DataProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained()`), they are preserved even when
+    `load_state_dict()` is called. This allows users to override normalization
+    statistics from saved models while keeping the rest of the model state intact.
+
+    Examples:
+        ```python
+        # Common use case: Override with dataset stats
+        from lerobot.datasets import LeRobotDataset
+
+        dataset = LeRobotDataset("my_dataset")
+        pipeline = DataProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained(
+            "model_path", overrides={"normalizer_processor": {"stats": dataset.meta.stats}}
+        )
+        # dataset.meta.stats will be used, not the stats from the saved model
+
+        # Custom stats override
+        custom_stats = {"action": {"mean": [0.0], "std": [1.0]}}
+        pipeline = DataProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained(
+            "model_path", overrides={"normalizer_processor": {"stats": custom_stats}}
+        )
+        ```
+
+    Attributes:
+        features: A dictionary mapping feature names to `PolicyFeature` objects, defining
+            the data structure to be processed.
+        norm_map: A dictionary mapping `FeatureType` to `NormalizationMode`, specifying

+            min, max) for each feature.
+        device: The PyTorch device on which to store and perform tensor operations.
+        eps: A small epsilon value to prevent division by zero in normalization
+            calculations.
+        normalize_observation_keys: An optional set of keys to selectively apply

+This module defines a generic, sequential data processing pipeline framework, primarily designed for
+transforming robotics data (observations, actions, rewards, etc.).
+
+The core components are:
+- ProcessorStep: An abstract base class for a single data transformation operation.
+- ProcessorStepRegistry: A mechanism to register and retrieve ProcessorStep classes by name.
+- DataProcessorPipeline: A class that chains multiple ProcessorStep instances together to form a complete
+  data processing workflow. It integrates with the Hugging Face Hub for easy sharing and versioning of
+  pipelines, including their configuration and state.
+- Specialized abstract ProcessorStep subclasses (e.g., ObservationProcessorStep, ActionProcessorStep)
+  to simplify the creation of steps that target specific parts of a data transition.

-    listed below. When present, these hooks let `RobotProcessor`
-    automatically serialise the step's configuration and learnable state using
-    a safe-to-share JSON + SafeTensors format.
+    Each step must implement the `__call__` method to perform its transformation

+    alters the shape or type of data features.

-    **Required**:

-        - ``feature_contract(features: dict[str, PolicyFeature]) -> dict[str, PolicyFeature]``
-

-    * ``get_config() -> dict[str, Any]`` – User-defined JSON-serializable
-      configuration and state. YOU decide what to save here. This is where all
-      non-tensor state goes (e.g., name, counter, threshold, window_size).
-      The config dict will be passed to your class constructor when loading.
-    * ``state_dict() -> dict[str, torch.Tensor]`` – PyTorch tensor state ONLY.
-      This is exclusively for torch.Tensor objects (e.g., learned weights,
-      running statistics as tensors). Never put simple Python types here.
-    * ``load_state_dict(state)`` – Inverse of ``state_dict``. Receives a dict
-      containing torch tensors only.
-    * ``reset()`` – Clear internal buffers at episode boundaries.
-
-    Example separation:
-    - get_config(): {"name": "my_step", "learning_rate": 0.01, "window_size": 10}
-    - state_dict(): {"weights": torch.tensor(...), "running_mean": torch.tensor(...)}

-    The class orchestrates an ordered collection of small, functional transforms—steps—executed
-    left-to-right on each incoming `EnvTransition`. It can process both `EnvTransition` dicts
-    and batch dictionaries, automatically converting between formats as needed.
+    This class chains together multiple `ProcessorStep` instances to form a complete
+    data processing workflow. It's generic, allowing for custom input and output types,
+    which are handled by the `to_transition` and `to_output` converters.

-        steps: Ordered list of processing steps executed on every call. Defaults to empty list.
-        name: Human-readable identifier that is persisted inside the JSON config.
-            Defaults to "RobotProcessor".
-        to_transition: Function to convert batch dict to EnvTransition dict.
-            Defaults to _default_batch_to_transition.
-        to_output: Function to convert EnvTransition dict to the desired output format.
-            Usually it is a batch dict or EnvTransition dict.
-            Defaults to _default_transition_to_batch.
-        before_step_hooks: List of hooks called before each step. Each hook receives the step
-            index and transition, and can optionally return a modified transition.
-        after_step_hooks: List of hooks called after each step. Each hook receives the step
-            index and transition, and can optionally return a modified transition.
-
-    Hook Semantics:
-        - Hooks are executed sequentially in the order they were registered. There is no way to
-          reorder hooks after registration without creating a new pipeline.
-        - Hooks are for observation/monitoring only and DO NOT modify transitions. They are called
-          with the step index and current transition for logging, debugging, or monitoring purposes.
-        - All hooks for a given type (before/after) are executed for every step, or none at all if
-          an error occurs. There is no partial execution of hooks.
-        - Hooks should generally be stateless to maintain predictable behavior. If you need stateful
-          processing, consider implementing a proper ProcessorStep instead.
-        - To remove hooks, use the unregister methods. To remove steps, you must create a new pipeline.
-        - Hooks ALWAYS receive transitions in EnvTransition format, regardless of the input format
-          passed to __call__. This ensures consistent hook behavior whether processing batch dicts
-          or EnvTransition objects.

+           - Provide helpful error messages with available keys
+
+        **Migration Detection**:
+        - **Smart detection**: Analyzes JSON files to detect old LeRobot models
+        - **Precise targeting**: Avoids false positives on other HuggingFace models
+        - **Clear guidance**: Provides exact migration command to run
+        - **Error mode**: Always raises ProcessorMigrationError for clear user action
+
+        **Loading Examples**:
+        ```python
+        # Directory loading
+        pipeline = DataProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained("/models/my_model", config_filename="processor.json")
+
+        # Single file loading
+        pipeline = DataProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained(
+            "/models/my_model/processor.json", config_filename="processor.json"
+        )
+
+        # Hub loading
+        pipeline = DataProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained("user/repo", config_filename="processor.json")
+
+        # Multiple configs (preprocessor/postprocessor)
+        preprocessor = DataProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained(
+            "model", config_filename="policy_preprocessor.json"
+        )
+        postprocessor = DataProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained(
+            "model", config_filename="policy_postprocessor.json"
+        )
+        ```
+
+        **Override System**:
+        - **Key matching**: Use registry names or class names as override keys
+        - **Config merging**: User overrides take precedence over saved config
+        - **Validation**: Ensure all override keys match actual steps (catch typos)
+        - **Example**: overrides={"NormalizeStep": {"device": "cuda"}}
 
         Args:
-            pretrained_model_name_or_path: Local path to a saved processor directory or Hugging Face Hub identifier
-                (e.g., "username/processor-name").
-            config_filename: Optional specific config filename to load. If not provided, will:
-                - For local paths: look for any .json file in the directory (error if multiple found)
-                - For HF Hub: try common names ("processor.json", "preprocessor.json", "postprocessor.json")
-            overrides: Optional dictionary mapping step names to configuration overrides.
-                Keys must match exact step class names (for unregistered steps) or registry names
-                (for registered steps). Values are dictionaries containing parameter overrides
-                that will be merged with the saved configuration. This is useful for providing
-                non-serializable objects like environment instances.
+            pretrained_model_name_or_path: The identifier of the repository on the Hugging Face Hub,
+                a path to a local directory, or a path to a single config file.
+            config_filename: The name of the pipeline's JSON configuration file. Always required
+                to prevent ambiguity when multiple configs exist (e.g., preprocessor vs postprocessor).
+            force_download: Whether to force (re)downloading the files.
+            resume_download: Whether to resume a previously interrupted download.
+            proxies: A dictionary of proxy servers to use.
+            token: The token to use as HTTP bearer authorization for private Hub repositories.
+            cache_dir: The path to a specific cache folder to store downloaded files.
+            local_files_only: If True, avoid downloading files from the Hub.
+            revision: The specific model version to use (e.g., a branch name, tag name, or commit id).
+            overrides: A dictionary to override the configuration of specific steps. Keys should
+                match the step's class name or registry name.
+            to_transition: A custom function to convert input data to `EnvTransition`.
+            to_output: A custom function to convert the final `EnvTransition` to the output format.
+            **kwargs: Additional arguments (not used).
 
         Returns:
-            A RobotProcessor instance loaded from the saved configuration.
+            An instance of `DataProcessorPipeline` loaded with the specified configuration and state.
 
         Raises:
-            ImportError: If a processor step class cannot be loaded or imported.
-            ValueError: If a step cannot be instantiated with the provided configuration.
-            KeyError: If an override key doesn't match any step in the saved configuration.
-
-        Examples:

-            )
-            ```
-
-            Loading with overrides for non-serializable objects:

+"""Compute per-frame Robometer progress and success curves for a LeRobot dataset.
+
+For each episode, builds per-frame sub-samples using the frame-steps
+strategy from the Robometer eval server: for each original frame ``t``,
+linspace-subsample ``[0, t]`` into ``K`` frames (default 4, matching
+``NUM_SUBSAMPLED_FRAMES`` in the eval server), run one forward through
+the Robometer processor + model, and keep the last-frame progress value.
+All sub-samples are the same size ``K`` so they batch cleanly.
+
+The parquet uses the same schema as SARM's
+:mod:`lerobot.rewards.sarm.compute_rabc_weights` so existing consumers —
+:class:`lerobot.rewards.sarm.rabc.RABCWeights` (which reads
+``progress_sparse``) and the progress-overlay script in
+``examples/dataset/create_progress_videos.py`` — work without modification.
+
+Usage:
+    # Dense per-frame progress for one episode
+    python -m lerobot.rewards.robometer.compute_rabc_weights \\
+        --dataset-repo-id lerobot/libero_10_image \\
+        --reward-model-path lerobot/Robometer-4B \\
+        --episodes 0

+- A frame-level progress loss anchoring reward magnitude on expert data.
+- A trajectory-comparison preference loss imposing global ordering constraints
+  across trajectories sharing the same instruction.
+
+To support downstream RL it also predicts a frame-level binary success. The
+training prompt inserts three learnable tokens:
+
+- ``<|prog_token|>`` after each frame to read per-frame progress and success.
+- ``<|pref_token|>`` at the end to read pairwise preference (training-only).
+- ``<|split_token|>`` between two trajectories in preference samples
+  (training-only).
+
+Progress is modeled as a categorical distribution over ``progress_discrete_bins``
+uniformly-spaced centers in ``[0, 1]`` (C51-style), and the continuous estimate
+is recovered as the softmax-weighted mean of those centers — see
+:func:`convert_bins_to_continuous`.
+
+This LeRobot port is **inference-only**: the preference head is preserved in
+the state dict for byte-equivalence with the published ``Robometer-4B``
+checkpoint but is not queried by :meth:`RobometerRewardModel.compute_reward`,
+which returns the last-frame progress (clamped to ``[0, 1]``) or sigmoid'd
+success probability depending on :attr:`RobometerConfig.reward_output`.

+Compute SARM progress values for RA-BC (Reward-Aware Behavior Cloning) weighting.
+
+This script processes all frames in a dataset with SARM to compute progress values [0, 1].
+The results are saved as a parquet file that can be loaded during training for RA-BC weighting.
+
+Uses multi-output extraction: each SARM query returns progress for 9 frames, so we only
+need ~num_frames/30 queries instead of one per frame (~30x speedup).
+
+Usage:
+    # Full RA-BC computation with visualizations
+    python src/lerobot/rewards/sarm/compute_rabc_weights.py \\
+        --dataset-repo-id lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human \\
+        --reward-model-path <USER>/sarm_single_uni4
+
+    # Faster computation with stride (compute every 5 frames, interpolate the rest)
+    python src/lerobot/rewards/sarm/compute_rabc_weights.py \\
+        --dataset-repo-id lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human \\
+        --reward-model-path <USER>/sarm_single_uni4 \\
+        --stride 5
+
+    # Visualize predictions only (no RA-BC computation)
+    python src/lerobot/rewards/sarm/compute_rabc_weights.py \\

+        --reward-model-path <USER>/sarm_single_uni4 \\
+        --visualize-only \\
+        --num-visualizations 5
+
+The output is saved to the dataset's local cache directory as 'sarm_progress.parquet'.

+RA-BC (Reward-Aligned Behavior Cloning) sample weighting implementation.

+This module implements the SampleWeighter protocol for RA-BC training,
+which weights training samples based on their task progress as measured
+by the SARM reward model.
+
+The weights are computed based on progress deltas:
+    delta = progress[t + chunk_size] - progress[t]
+
+High-quality samples (positive progress) get higher weights, while
+samples with negative progress (going backwards) get zero weight.

+"""Compute per-frame TOPReward progress curves for a LeRobot dataset.
+
+For each episode, scores trajectory prefixes of increasing length using
+the TOPReward reward model, min-max normalises the raw log-prob rewards per episode,
+and writes a parquet file with one row per frame.
+
+The parquet uses the same schema as SARM's :mod:`lerobot.rewards.sarm.compute_rabc_weights`.
+
+Usage:
+    # Sparse-dense mode (15 anchors per episode, matches upstream)
+    python -m lerobot.rewards.topreward.compute_rabc_weights \\
+        --dataset-repo-id lerobot/libero_10_image \\

+
+    # Use a different VLM backbone

+
+    TOPReward is **zero-shot**: it has no learnable parameters of its own.
+    The "model" is a generic vision-language model (default
+    ``Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct``) used with a fixed prompt to extract
+    token log-probabilities as a reward signal. There is therefore no
+    fine-tuned checkpoint to host: ``pretrained_path`` is unused at
+    runtime — the model identity is :attr:`vlm_name` (an HF Hub id).
+
+    Args:
+        vlm_name: Hugging Face Hub id of the underlying VLM. Must be a
+            Qwen3-VL family model (the only client implemented in this
+            LeRobot port).
+        torch_dtype: Torch dtype name passed to the VLM loader
+            (``"auto"``, ``"bfloat16"``, ``"float16"``, ...).
+        attn_implementation: ``transformers`` attention implementation
+            (e.g. ``"flash_attention_2"``, ``"sdpa"``). Defaults to
+            ``None`` so the upstream picks the best available.
+        image_key: Observation key that holds the trajectory frames.
+        task_key: Complementary-data key that holds the task instruction.
+        default_task: Fallback instruction when ``task_key`` is absent.
+        max_frames: Cap on the number of frames fed to the VLM per
+            sample. ``None`` = use all frames.
+        fps: Frames-per-second metadata for the Qwen video processor.
+        prompt_prefix: Text shown to the VLM right after the video and
+            before the suffix template.
+        prompt_suffix_template: Suffix appended after ``prompt_prefix``.

+"""TOPReward: Token Probabilities as Hidden Zero-Shot Rewards for Robotics.
+
+Paper:         https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.19313
+Project:       https://topreward.github.io/webpage/
+Original code: https://github.com/TOPReward/TOPReward
+Backbone:      https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct  (default)
+
+TOPReward is a **zero-shot** reward model: it has no fine-tuned weights of
+its own. Given a video trajectory and a task instruction, it asks an
+off-the-shelf VLM how likely the instruction is, conditioned on the video,
+and returns that log-likelihood as the reward signal.
+
+Inference recipe:
+
+1. The processor builds a chat-style prompt, tokenises it, and emits
+   ``input_ids``, ``attention_mask``, vision tensors, and ``labels``.
+   The processor label-masks everything except the terminal answer token with
+   ``-100``.
+2. Forward the full token sequence through the VLM.
+3. Read the terminal answer token log-probability from the logits as the
+   scalar reward.
+
+With the default ``prompt_suffix_template``, the only unmasked token is the
+literal ``"True"`` at the end — the reward is
+``log P("True" | video + prompt + instruction)``.
+
+This LeRobot port is **inference-only and not trainable** — :meth:`forward`
+is intentionally inherited from :class:`PreTrainedRewardModel` and raises
+``NotImplementedError``, making :attr:`PreTrainedRewardModel.is_trainable`
+return ``False``.
+
+Because the VLM weights live on the Hugging Face Hub under their canonical
+id (``Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct`` etc.) and TOPReward never modifies them,
+:meth:`_save_pretrained` and :meth:`from_pretrained` are overridden so a
+TOPReward LeRobot "checkpoint" is a single ``config.json`` (the VLM is
+re-fetched from the Hub at load time).

-This tutorial explains how to use [Stretch 3](https://hello-robot.com/stretch-3-product) with LeRobot.
-
-## Setup
-
-Familiarize yourself with Stretch by following its [tutorials](https://docs.hello-robot.com/0.3/getting_started/hello_robot/) (recommended).
-
-To use LeRobot on Stretch, 3 options are available:
-
-- [tethered setup](https://docs.hello-robot.com/0.3/getting_started/connecting_to_stretch/#tethered-setup)
-- [untethered setup](https://docs.hello-robot.com/0.3/getting_started/connecting_to_stretch/#untethered-setup)
-- ssh directly into Stretch (you will first need to install and configure openssh-server on stretch using one of the two above setups)
-
-## Install LeRobot
-
-On Stretch's CLI, follow these steps:
-
-1. [Install Miniconda](https://docs.anaconda.com/miniconda/#quick-command-line-install):
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p ~/miniconda3
-wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -O ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
-bash ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh -b -u -p ~/miniconda3
-rm ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
-~/miniconda3/bin/conda init bash
-```
-
-2. Comment out these lines in `~/.profile` (this can mess up paths used by conda and ~/.local/bin should already be in your PATH)
-
-```
-# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
-if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" ] ; then
-    PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
-fi
-```
-
-3. Restart shell or `source ~/.bashrc`
-
-4. Create and activate a fresh conda environment for lerobot
-
-```bash
-conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.10 && conda activate lerobot
-```
-
-5. Clone LeRobot:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git ~/lerobot
-```
-
-6. When using `miniconda`, install `ffmpeg` in your environment:
-
-```bash
-conda install ffmpeg -c conda-forge
-```
-
-7. Install LeRobot with stretch dependencies:
-
-```bash
-cd ~/lerobot && pip install -e ".[stretch]"
-```
-
-> **Note:** If you get this message, you can ignore it: `ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed.`
-
-8. Run a [system check](https://docs.hello-robot.com/0.3/getting_started/stretch_hardware_overview/#system-check) to make sure your robot is ready:
-
-```bash
-stretch_system_check.py
-```
-
-> **Note:** You may need to free the "robot process" after booting Stretch by running `stretch_free_robot_process.py`. For more info this Stretch's [doc](https://docs.hello-robot.com/0.3/getting_started/stretch_hardware_overview/#turning-off-gamepad-teleoperation).
-
-You should get something like this:
-
-```bash
-For use with S T R E T C H (R) from Hello Robot Inc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Model = Stretch 3
-Tool = DexWrist 3 w/ Gripper
-Serial Number = stretch-se3-3054
-
----- Checking Hardware ----
-[Pass] Comms are ready
-[Pass] Actuators are ready
-[Warn] Sensors not ready (IMU AZ = -10.19 out of range -10.1 to -9.5)
-[Pass] Battery voltage is 13.6 V
-
----- Checking Software ----
-[Pass] Ubuntu 22.04 is ready
-[Pass] All APT pkgs are setup correctly
-[Pass] Firmware is up-to-date
-[Pass] Python pkgs are up-to-date
-[Pass] ROS2 Humble is ready
-```
-
-## Teleoperate, record a dataset and run a policy
-
-**Calibrate (Optional)**
-Before operating Stretch, you need to [home](https://docs.hello-robot.com/0.3/getting_started/stretch_hardware_overview/#homing) it first. Be mindful about giving Stretch some space as this procedure will move the robot's arm and gripper. Now run this command:
-
-```bash
-python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
-    --robot.type=stretch \
-    --control.type=calibrate
-```
-
-This is equivalent to running `stretch_robot_home.py`
-
-> **Note:** If you run any of the LeRobot scripts below and Stretch is not properly homed, it will automatically home/calibrate first.
-
-**Teleoperate**
-Before trying teleoperation, you need to activate the gamepad controller by pressing the middle button. For more info, see Stretch's [doc](https://docs.hello-robot.com/0.3/getting_started/hello_robot/#gamepad-teleoperation).
-
-Now try out teleoperation (see above documentation to learn about the gamepad controls):
-
-> **NOTE:** To visualize the data, enable `--control.display_data=true`. This streams the data using `rerun`.
-
-```bash
-python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
-    --robot.type=stretch \
-    --control.type=teleoperate
-```
-
-This is essentially the same as running `stretch_gamepad_teleop.py`
-
-**Record a dataset**
-Once you're familiar with the gamepad controls and after a bit of practice, you can try to record your first dataset with Stretch.
-
-If you want to use the Hugging Face hub features for uploading your dataset and you haven't previously done it, make sure you've logged in using a write-access token, which can be generated from the [Hugging Face settings](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens):
-
-```bash
-huggingface-cli login --token ${HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN} --add-to-git-credential
-```
-
-Store your Hugging Face repository name in a variable to run these commands:
-
-```bash
-HF_USER=$(huggingface-cli whoami | head -n 1)
-echo $HF_USER
-```
-
-Record one episode:
-
-```bash
-python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
-  --robot.type=stretch \
-  --control.type=record \
-  --control.fps=30 \
-  --control.single_task="Grasp a lego block and put it in the bin." \
-  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/stretch_test \
-  --control.tags='["tutorial"]' \
-  --control.warmup_time_s=5 \
-  --control.episode_time_s=30 \
-  --control.reset_time_s=30 \
-  --control.num_episodes=2 \
-  --control.push_to_hub=true
-```
-
-> **Note:** If you're using ssh to connect to Stretch and run this script, you won't be able to visualize its cameras feed (though they will still be recording). To see the cameras stream, use [tethered](https://docs.hello-robot.com/0.3/getting_started/connecting_to_stretch/#tethered-setup) or [untethered setup](https://docs.hello-robot.com/0.3/getting_started/connecting_to_stretch/#untethered-setup).
-
-**Replay an episode**
-Now try to replay this episode (make sure the robot's initial position is the same):
-
-```bash
-python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
-  --robot.type=stretch \
-  --control.type=replay \
-  --control.fps=30 \
-  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/stretch_test \
-  --control.episode=0
-```
-
-Follow [previous tutorial](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/7_get_started_with_real_robot.md#4-train-a-policy-on-your-data) to train a policy on your data and run inference on your robot. You will need to adapt the code for Stretch.
-
-> TODO(rcadene, aliberts): Add already setup environment and policy yaml configuration files
-
-If you need help, please reach out on Discord in the channel `#stretch3-mobile-arm`.

-This tutorial explains how to use [Aloha and Aloha 2 stationary](https://www.trossenrobotics.com/aloha-stationary) with LeRobot.
-
-## Setup
-
-Follow the [documentation from Trossen Robotics](https://docs.trossenrobotics.com/aloha_docs/2.0/getting_started/stationary/hardware_setup.html) for setting up the hardware and plugging the 4 arms and 4 cameras to your computer.
-
-## Install LeRobot
-
-On your computer:
-
-1. [Install Miniconda](https://docs.anaconda.com/miniconda/#quick-command-line-install):
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p ~/miniconda3
-wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -O ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
-bash ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh -b -u -p ~/miniconda3
-rm ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
-~/miniconda3/bin/conda init bash
-```
-
-2. Restart shell or `source ~/.bashrc`
-
-3. Create and activate a fresh conda environment for lerobot
-
-```bash
-conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.10 && conda activate lerobot
-```
-
-4. Clone LeRobot:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git ~/lerobot
-```
-
-5. When using `miniconda`, install `ffmpeg` in your environment:
-
-```bash
-conda install ffmpeg -c conda-forge
-```
-
-6. Install LeRobot with dependencies for the Aloha motors (dynamixel) and cameras (intelrealsense):
-
-```bash
-cd ~/lerobot && pip install -e ".[dynamixel, intelrealsense]"
-```
-
-## Teleoperate
-
-\*\*/!\ FOR SAFETY, READ THIS /!\*\*
-Teleoperation consists in manually operating the leader arms to move the follower arms. Importantly:
-
-1. Make sure your leader arms are in the same position as the follower arms, so that the follower arms don't move too fast to match the leader arms,
-2. Our code assumes that your robot has been assembled following Trossen Robotics instructions. This allows us to skip calibration, as we use the pre-defined calibration files in `.cache/calibration/aloha_default`. If you replace a motor, make sure you follow the exact instructions from Trossen Robotics.
-
-By running the following code, you can start your first **SAFE** teleoperation:
-
-> **NOTE:** To visualize the data, enable `--control.display_data=true`. This streams the data using `rerun`.
-
-```bash
-python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
-  --robot.type=aloha \
-  --robot.max_relative_target=5 \
-  --control.type=teleoperate
-```
-
-By adding `--robot.max_relative_target=5`, we override the default value for `max_relative_target` defined in [`ViperXConfig`](./config_viperx.py). It is expected to be `5` to limit the magnitude of the movement for more safety, but the teleoperation won't be smooth. When you feel confident, you can disable this limit by adding `--robot.max_relative_target=null` to the command line:
-
-```bash
-python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
-  --robot.type=aloha \
-  --robot.max_relative_target=null \
-  --control.type=teleoperate
-```
-
-## Record a dataset
-
-Once you're familiar with teleoperation, you can record your first dataset with Aloha.
-
-If you want to use the Hugging Face hub features for uploading your dataset and you haven't previously done it, make sure you've logged in using a write-access token, which can be generated from the [Hugging Face settings](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens):
-
-```bash
-huggingface-cli login --token ${HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN} --add-to-git-credential
-```
-
-Store your Hugging Face repository name in a variable to run these commands:
-
-```bash
-HF_USER=$(huggingface-cli whoami | head -n 1)
-echo $HF_USER
-```
-
-Record 2 episodes and upload your dataset to the hub:
-
-```bash
-python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
-  --robot.type=aloha \
-  --robot.max_relative_target=null \
-  --control.type=record \
-  --control.fps=30 \
-  --control.single_task="Grasp a lego block and put it in the bin." \
-  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/aloha_test \
-  --control.tags='["tutorial"]' \
-  --control.warmup_time_s=5 \
-  --control.episode_time_s=30 \
-  --control.reset_time_s=30 \
-  --control.num_episodes=2 \
-  --control.push_to_hub=true
-```
-
-## Visualize a dataset
-
-If you uploaded your dataset to the hub with `--control.push_to_hub=true`, you can [visualize your dataset online](https://huggingface.co/spaces/lerobot/visualize_dataset) by copy pasting your repo id given by:
-
-```bash
-echo ${HF_USER}/aloha_test
-```
-
-If you didn't upload with `--control.push_to_hub=false`, you can also visualize it locally with:
-
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.scripts.visualize_dataset_html \
-  --repo-id ${HF_USER}/aloha_test
-```
-
-## Replay an episode
-
-\*\*/!\ FOR SAFETY, READ THIS /!\*\*
-Replay consists in automatically replaying the sequence of actions (i.e. goal positions for your motors) recorded in a given dataset episode. Make sure the current initial position of your robot is similar to the one in your episode, so that your follower arms don't move too fast to go to the first goal positions. For safety, you might want to add `--robot.max_relative_target=5` to your command line as explained above.
-
-Now try to replay the first episode on your robot:
-
-```bash
-python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
-  --robot.type=aloha \
-  --robot.max_relative_target=null \
-  --control.type=replay \
-  --control.fps=30 \
-  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/aloha_test \
-  --control.episode=0
-```
-
-## Train a policy
-
-To train a policy to control your robot, use the [`lerobot-train`](../src/lerobot/scripts/train.py) script. A few arguments are required. Here is an example command:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \
-  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/aloha_test \
-  --policy.type=act \
-  --output_dir=outputs/train/act_aloha_test \
-  --job_name=act_aloha_test \
-  --policy.device=cuda \
-  --wandb.enable=true
-```
-
-Let's explain it:
-
-1. We provided the dataset as argument with `--dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/aloha_test`.
-2. We provided the policy with `policy.type=act`. This loads configurations from [`configuration_act.py`](../src/lerobot/policies/act/configuration_act.py). Importantly, this policy will automatically adapt to the number of motor states, motor actions and cameras of your robot (e.g. `laptop` and `phone`) which have been saved in your dataset.
-3. We provided `policy.device=cuda` since we are training on a Nvidia GPU, but you could use `policy.device=mps` to train on Apple silicon.
-4. We provided `wandb.enable=true` to use [Weights and Biases](https://docs.wandb.ai/quickstart) for visualizing training plots. This is optional but if you use it, make sure you are logged in by running `wandb login`.
-
-For more information on the `train` script see the previous tutorial: [`examples/4_train_policy_with_script.md`](../examples/4_train_policy_with_script.md)
-
-Training should take several hours. You will find checkpoints in `outputs/train/act_aloha_test/checkpoints`.
-
-## Evaluate your policy
-
-You can use the `record` function from [`lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py`](../src/lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py) but with a policy checkpoint as input. For instance, run this command to record 10 evaluation episodes:
-
-```bash
-python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
-  --robot.type=aloha \
-  --control.type=record \
-  --control.fps=30 \
-  --control.single_task="Grasp a lego block and put it in the bin." \
-  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/eval_act_aloha_test \
-  --control.tags='["tutorial"]' \
-  --control.warmup_time_s=5 \
-  --control.episode_time_s=30 \
-  --control.reset_time_s=30 \
-  --control.num_episodes=10 \
-  --control.push_to_hub=true \
-  --control.policy.path=outputs/train/act_aloha_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model \
-  --control.num_image_writer_processes=1
-```
-
-As you can see, it's almost the same command as previously used to record your training dataset. Two things changed:
-
-1. There is an additional `--control.policy.path` argument which indicates the path to your policy checkpoint with (e.g. `outputs/train/eval_act_aloha_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model`). You can also use the model repository if you uploaded a model checkpoint to the hub (e.g. `${HF_USER}/act_aloha_test`).
-2. The name of dataset begins by `eval` to reflect that you are running inference (e.g. `${HF_USER}/eval_act_aloha_test`).
-3. We use `--control.num_image_writer_processes=1` instead of the default value (`0`). On our computer, using a dedicated process to write images from the 4 cameras on disk allows to reach constant 30 fps during inference. Feel free to explore different values for `--control.num_image_writer_processes`.

+    1. **pause_resume** — Toggle policy execution (AUTONOMOUS <-> PAUSED).
+    2. **correction**   — Toggle correction recording (PAUSED <-> CORRECTING).
+    3. **upload**        — Push dataset to hub on demand (corrections-only mode).
+    ESC (keyboard only) — Stop session.
+
+Recording modes:
+    ``record_autonomous=True``:  Sentry-like continuous recording with
+        time-based episode rotation.  Both autonomous and correction
+        frames are recorded; corrections tagged ``intervention=True``.
+    ``record_autonomous=False``: Only correction windows are recorded.
+        Each correction (start to stop) becomes one episode.
+
+Teleoperator handover:
+    On AUTONOMOUS → PAUSED, actuated teleops (those with non-empty
+    ``feedback_features``, e.g. SO-101, OpenArmMini) are smoothly driven to
+    the follower's last position via ``send_feedback`` so the operator takes
+    over without a jerk.  Non-actuated teleops cannot be driven,
+    so on PAUSED → CORRECTING the follower is instead slid to the teleop's
+    current pose before the correction begins.

+"""Episodic rollout strategy: mirrors the behavior of ``lerobot-record``.
+
+- Policy drives the robot during each recording episode.
+- An optional teleoperator can drive the robot during reset phases so the
+  operator can bring the environment back to its starting configuration.
+  If no teleop is connected the robot stays in its current position.
+- Keyboard controls:
+
+      Right arrow  — end the current episode or reset phase early
+      Left arrow   — discard the current episode and re-record it
+      Escape       — stop the recording session
+
+Dataset naming follows the rollout convention: repo names must start with ``rollout_``.

+This script augments existing LeRobot datasets with quantile statistics.

+3. If missing, computes quantile statistics for all features
+4. Updates the dataset metadata with the new quantile statistics

+This script will help you convert any LeRobot dataset already pushed to the hub from codebase version 2.1 to
+3.0. It will:
+
+- Generate per-episodes stats and writes them in `episodes_stats.jsonl`
+- Check consistency between these new stats and the old ones.
+- Remove the deprecated `stats.json`.
+- Update codebase_version in `info.json`.
+- Push this new version to the hub on the 'main' branch and tags it with "v3.0".
+
+Usage:
+
+Convert a dataset from the hub:
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/scripts/convert_dataset_v21_to_v30.py \
+    --repo-id=lerobot/pusht
+```
+
+Convert a local dataset (works in place):
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/scripts/convert_dataset_v21_to_v30.py \
+    --repo-id=lerobot/pusht \
+    --root=/path/to/local/dataset/directory \
+    --push-to-hub=false
+
+N.B. Path semantics (v2): --root is the exact dataset folder containing
+meta/, data/, videos/. When omitted, defaults to $HF_LEROBOT_HOME/{repo_id}.

-"""Evaluate a policy on an environment by running rollouts and computing metrics.
-
-Usage examples:
-
-You want to evaluate a model from the hub (eg: https://huggingface.co/lerobot/diffusion_pusht)
-for 10 episodes.
-
-```
-lerobot-eval \
-    --policy.path=lerobot/diffusion_pusht \
-    --env.type=pusht \
-    --eval.batch_size=10 \
-    --eval.n_episodes=10 \
-    --use_amp=false \
-    --device=cuda
-```
-
-OR, you want to evaluate a model checkpoint from the LeRobot training script for 10 episodes.
-```
-lerobot-eval \
-    --policy.path=outputs/train/diffusion_pusht/checkpoints/005000/pretrained_model \
-    --env.type=pusht \
-    --eval.batch_size=10 \
-    --eval.n_episodes=10 \
-    --use_amp=false \
-    --device=cuda
-```
-
-Note that in both examples, the repo/folder should contain at least `config.json` and `model.safetensors` files.
-
-You can learn about the CLI options for this script in the `EvalPipelineConfig` in lerobot/configs/eval.py

+""" Visualize data of **all** frames of any episode of a dataset of type LeRobotDataset.
+
+Requires: pip install 'lerobot[dataset_viz]'  (includes dataset + viz extras)
+
+Note: The last frame of the episode doesn't always correspond to a final state.
+That's because our datasets are composed of transition from state to state up to
+the antepenultimate state associated to the ultimate action to arrive in the final state.
+However, there might not be a transition from a final state to another state.
+
+Note: This script aims to visualize the data used to train the neural networks.
+~What you see is what you get~. When visualizing image modality, it is often expected to observe
+lossy compression artifacts since these images have been decoded from compressed mp4 videos to
+save disk space. The compression factor applied has been tuned to not affect success rate.
+
+Examples:
+
+- Visualize data stored on a local machine:
+```
+local$ lerobot-dataset-viz \
+    --repo-id lerobot/pusht \
+    --episode-index 0
+```
+
+- Visualize data stored on a distant machine with a local viewer:
+```
+distant$ lerobot-dataset-viz \
+    --repo-id lerobot/pusht \
+    --episode-index 0 \
+    --save 1 \
+    --output-dir path/to/directory
+
+local$ scp distant:path/to/directory/lerobot_pusht_episode_0.rrd .
+local$ rerun lerobot_pusht_episode_0.rrd
+```
+
+- Visualize data stored on a distant machine through streaming:
+```
+distant$ lerobot-dataset-viz \
+    --repo-id lerobot/pusht \
+    --episode-index 0 \
+    --mode distant \
+    --grpc-port 9876
+
+local$ rerun rerun+http://IP:GRPC_PORT/proxy
+```
+
+- Visualize data in Foxglove with a seekable, scrubbable timeline:
+```
+local$ lerobot-dataset-viz \
+    --repo-id lerobot/pusht \
+    --episode-index 0 \
+    --display-mode foxglove
+
+# then open the Foxglove app and connect to ws://127.0.0.1:8765
+```
+This starts a Foxglove WebSocket server that serves the episode on demand from the on-disk dataset,
+so you can play/pause and scrub anywhere in the episode using Foxglove's playback controls.

+Edit LeRobot datasets using various transformation tools.
+
+Requires: pip install 'lerobot[dataset]'
+
+This script allows you to delete episodes, split datasets, merge datasets,
+remove features, modify tasks, recompute stats, and convert image datasets to video format.
+When new_repo_id is specified, creates a new dataset.
+
+Path semantics (v2): --root and --new_root are exact dataset folders containing
+meta/, data/, videos/. When omitted, defaults to $HF_LEROBOT_HOME/{repo_id}.
+
+Usage Examples:
+
+Delete episodes 0, 2, and 5 from a dataset:
+    lerobot-edit-dataset \
+        --repo_id lerobot/pusht \
+        --operation.type delete_episodes \
+        --operation.episode_indices "[0, 2, 5]"
+
+Delete episodes from a local dataset at a specific path:
+    lerobot-edit-dataset \
+        --repo_id lerobot/pusht \
+        --root /path/to/pusht \
+        --operation.type delete_episodes \
+        --operation.episode_indices "[0, 2, 5]"
+
+Delete episodes and save to a new dataset at a specific path and with a new repo_id:
+    lerobot-edit-dataset \
+        --repo_id lerobot/pusht \
+        --new_repo_id lerobot/pusht_filtered \
+        --new_root /path/to/pusht_filtered \
+        --operation.type delete_episodes \
+        --operation.episode_indices "[0, 2, 5]"
+
+Split dataset by fractions (pusht_train, pusht_val):
+    lerobot-edit-dataset \
+        --repo_id lerobot/pusht \
+        --operation.type split \
+        --operation.splits '{"train": 0.8, "val": 0.2}'
+
+Split dataset by fractions and save split datasets to a specific folder (base_folder/train, base_folder/val):
+    lerobot-edit-dataset \
+        --repo_id lerobot/pusht \
+        --new_root /path/to/base_folder \
+        --operation.type split \
+        --operation.splits '{"train": 0.8, "val": 0.2}'
+
+Split dataset by episode indices:
+    lerobot-edit-dataset \
+        --repo_id lerobot/pusht \
+        --operation.type split \
+        --operation.splits '{"train": [0, 1, 2, 3], "val": [4, 5]}'
+
+Split into more than two splits:
+    lerobot-edit-dataset \
+        --repo_id lerobot/pusht \
+        --operation.type split \
+        --operation.splits '{"train": 0.6, "val": 0.2, "test": 0.2}'
+
+Merge multiple datasets:
+    lerobot-edit-dataset \
+        --new_repo_id lerobot/pusht_merged \
+        --operation.type merge \
+        --operation.repo_ids "['lerobot/pusht_train', 'lerobot/pusht_val']"
+
+Merge multiple datasets to a specific output path:
+    lerobot-edit-dataset \
+        --new_repo_id lerobot/pusht_merged \
+        --new_root /path/to/pusht_merged \

+"""Evaluate a policy on an environment by running rollouts and computing metrics.
+
+Requires: pip install 'lerobot[evaluation]' plus the policy extra (e.g. lerobot[pi])
+          and the environment extra (e.g. lerobot[pusht]) if evaluating in simulation.
+
+Usage examples:
+
+You want to evaluate a model from the hub (eg: https://huggingface.co/lerobot/diffusion_pusht)
+for 10 episodes.
+
+```
+lerobot-eval \
+    --policy.path=lerobot/diffusion_pusht \
+    --env.type=pusht \
+    --eval.batch_size=10 \
+    --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+    --policy.use_amp=false \
+    --policy.device=cuda
+```
+
+OR, you want to evaluate a model checkpoint from the LeRobot training script for 10 episodes.
+```
+lerobot-eval \
+    --policy.path=outputs/train/diffusion_pusht/checkpoints/005000/pretrained_model \
+    --env.type=pusht \
+    --eval.batch_size=10 \
+    --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+    --policy.use_amp=false \
+    --policy.device=cuda
+```
+
+Note that in both examples, the repo/folder should contain at least `config.json` and `model.safetensors` files.
+
+You can learn about the CLI options for this script in the `EvalPipelineConfig` in lerobot/configs/eval.py

+Records a dataset via teleoperation.  This is a pure data-collection
+tool — no policy inference.  For deploying trained policies, use
+``lerobot-rollout`` instead.
+
+Requires: pip install 'lerobot[core_scripts]'  (includes dataset + hardware + viz extras)
+
+Example:
+
+```shell
+lerobot-record \\
+    --robot.type=so100_follower \\
+    --robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431541 \\
+    --robot.cameras="{laptop: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \\
+    --robot.id=black \\
+    --teleop.type=so100_leader \\
+    --teleop.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431551 \\
+    --teleop.id=blue \\
+    --dataset.repo_id=<my_username>/<my_dataset_name> \\
+    --dataset.num_episodes=2 \\
+    --dataset.single_task="Grab the cube" \\
+    --dataset.streaming_encoding=true \\
+    --dataset.encoder_threads=2 \\
+    --display_data=true
+```
+
+To stream the data to Foxglove instead of Rerun, add ``--display_mode=foxglove`` (then connect the
+Foxglove app to ``ws://127.0.0.1:8765``; override the port with ``--display_port=<port>``).
+
+Example recording with bimanual so100:
+```shell

+  --dataset.single_task="Grab and handover the red cube to the other arm" \\
+  --dataset.streaming_encoding=true \\
+  --dataset.encoder_threads=2
+```
+
+Example recording with custom video encoding parameters:
+```shell

+"""Policy deployment engine with pluggable rollout strategies.
+
+``lerobot-rollout`` is the single CLI for running trained policies on
+real robots.
+
+Strategies
+----------
+    --strategy.type=base       Autonomous rollout, no recording
+    --strategy.type=sentry     Continuous recording with auto-upload
+    --strategy.type=highlight  Ring buffer + keystroke save
+    --strategy.type=dagger     Human-in-the-loop (DAgger / RaC)
+    --strategy.type=episodic   Episode-oriented recording with reset phases
+
+Inference backends
+------------------
+    --inference.type=sync      One policy call per control tick (default)
+    --inference.type=rtc       Real-Time Chunking for slow VLA models
+
+Usage examples
+--------------

+"""Train FAST tokenizer for action encoding.
+
+This script:
+1. Loads action chunks from LeRobotDataset (with episode sampling)
+2. Optionally applies relative transforms (relative vs absolute actions)
+3. Extracts specified action dimensions for encoding
+4. Applies normalization (MEAN_STD, MIN_MAX, QUANTILES, or other modes)
+5. Trains FAST tokenizer (BPE on DCT coefficients) on the action chunks
+6. Saves tokenizer to output directory
+7. Optionally pushes tokenizer to Hugging Face Hub
+8. Reports compression statistics
+
+Example:
+
+```shell
+lerobot-train-tokenizer \
+    --repo_id=user/dataset_name \
+    --action_horizon=10 \
+    --max_episodes=100 \
+    --sample_fraction=0.1 \
+    --encoded_dims="0:6" \
+    --relative_dims="0,1,2,3,4,5" \
+    --use_relative_transform=true \
+    --state_key="observation.state" \
+    --normalization_mode="QUANTILES" \

-Robot Environment for LeRobot Manipulation Tasks
-
-This module provides a comprehensive gym-compatible environment for robot manipulation
-with support for:
-- Multiple robot types (SO100, SO101, Koch and Moss)
-- Human intervention via leader-follower control or gamepad
-
-- End-effector and joint space control
-- Image processing (cropping and resizing)
-
-The environment is built using a composable wrapper pattern where each wrapper
-adds specific functionality to the base RobotEnv.
-
-Example:
-    env = make_robot_env(cfg)
-    obs, info = env.reset()
-    action = policy.select_action(obs)
-    obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(action)

-""" Visualize data of **all** frames of any episode of a dataset of type LeRobotDataset.
-
-Note: The last frame of the episode doesn't always correspond to a final state.
-That's because our datasets are composed of transition from state to state up to
-the antepenultimate state associated to the ultimate action to arrive in the final state.
-However, there might not be a transition from a final state to another state.
-
-Note: This script aims to visualize the data used to train the neural networks.
-~What you see is what you get~. When visualizing image modality, it is often expected to observe
-lossy compression artifacts since these images have been decoded from compressed mp4 videos to
-save disk space. The compression factor applied has been tuned to not affect success rate.
-
-Examples:
-
-- Visualize data stored on a local machine:
-```
-local$ python -m lerobot.scripts.visualize_dataset \
-    --repo-id lerobot/pusht \
-    --episode-index 0
-```
-
-- Visualize data stored on a distant machine with a local viewer:
-```
-distant$ python -m lerobot.scripts.visualize_dataset \
-    --repo-id lerobot/pusht \
-    --episode-index 0 \
-    --save 1 \
-    --output-dir path/to/directory
-
-local$ scp distant:path/to/directory/lerobot_pusht_episode_0.rrd .
-local$ rerun lerobot_pusht_episode_0.rrd
-```
-
-- Visualize data stored on a distant machine through streaming:
-(You need to forward the websocket port to the distant machine, with
-`ssh -L 9087:localhost:9087 username@remote-host`)
-```
-distant$ python -m lerobot.scripts.visualize_dataset \
-    --repo-id lerobot/pusht \
-    --episode-index 0 \
-    --mode distant \

-""" Visualize data of **all** frames of any episode of a dataset of type LeRobotDataset.
-
-Note: The last frame of the episode doesnt always correspond to a final state.
-That's because our datasets are composed of transition from state to state up to
-the antepenultimate state associated to the ultimate action to arrive in the final state.
-However, there might not be a transition from a final state to another state.
-
-Note: This script aims to visualize the data used to train the neural networks.
-~What you see is what you get~. When visualizing image modality, it is often expected to observe
-lossly compression artifacts since these images have been decoded from compressed mp4 videos to
-save disk space. The compression factor applied has been tuned to not affect success rate.
-
-Example of usage:
-
-- Visualize data stored on a local machine:
-```bash
-local$ python -m lerobot.scripts.visualize_dataset_html \
-    --repo-id lerobot/pusht
-
-local$ open http://localhost:9090
-```
-
-- Visualize data stored on a distant machine with a local viewer:
-```bash
-distant$ python -m lerobot.scripts.visualize_dataset_html \
-    --repo-id lerobot/pusht
-
-local$ ssh -L 9090:localhost:9090 distant  # create a ssh tunnel
-local$ open http://localhost:9090
-```
-
-- Select episodes to visualize:
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.scripts.visualize_dataset_html \
-    --repo-id lerobot/pusht \
-    --episodes 7 3 5 1 4
-```

+This module handles calibration of hall effect sensors used in the exoskeleton.
+Each joint has a pair of ADC channels outputting sin and cos values that trace an ellipse

+and calculate arctan2 of the unit circle to get the joint angle.

+## How to Get Started with the Model
+
+New to LeRobot? These guides cover the full workflow:
+
+- **[Install LeRobot](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/main/en/installation)** — set up the `lerobot` package.
+- **[Hardware setup](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/main/en/hardware_guide)** — assemble, wire, and calibrate your robot and cameras.
+- **[Record data & train a policy](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/en/il_robots)** — the end-to-end imitation-learning walkthrough.
+- **[CLI cheat-sheet](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/main/en/cheat-sheet)** — quick reference for the `lerobot-*` commands.
+
+The short version to run and train this policy:
+
+### Run the policy on your robot
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+  --strategy.type=base \
+  --robot.type={{ robot_type | default("<your_robot_type>", true) }} \
+  --robot.port=<your_robot_port> \
+  --robot.cameras="{ <camera_1>: {type: opencv, index_or_path: <index_or_path>, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}, <camera_2>: {type: opencv, index_or_path: <index_or_path>, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
+  --policy.path={{ policy_repo_id | default("<hf_user>/<policy_repo_id>", true) }} \
+  --task="{% if dataset and dataset.tasks %}{{ dataset.tasks[0] }}{% else %}<your_task_description>{% endif %}" \
+  --duration=60
+```
+
+Replace the remaining `<...>` placeholders with your own values: `--robot.port` and the camera names/indices are specific to your machine, and the camera names must match the observation keys this policy was trained on.
+
+When `--strategy.type=base` is used the script doesn't record the episodes. Skipping duration will make the policy run indefinitely. For more information look at [rollout documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/main/en/inference).
+
+{% if base_model %}### Train your own policy
+
+This policy type is usually fine-tuned from the pretrained base model [{{ base_model }}](https://huggingface.co/{{ base_model }}):

+"""Display-independent keyboard input for interactive controls.
+
+This module centralizes everything related to *discrete* keyboard controls
+(end-episode-early, re-record, stop, and the rollout strategies' custom keys):
+
+* environment detection — :func:`is_headless`, :func:`is_wayland`,
+  :func:`pynput_can_capture` (the single predicate every call-site should use to
+  decide whether ``pynput`` can actually capture keys here);
+* a shared key mapping — :func:`apply_recording_control`; and
+* two interchangeable backends behind one ``(listener, events)`` contract:
+  the ``pynput`` global listener (X11 / trusted-macOS / Windows) and a
+  standard-library :class:`TerminalKeyListener` that reads the controlling TTY
+  (Wayland / headless-SSH-with-TTY / macOS without Accessibility permission).
+
+NOTE: *continuous* key-state teleoperation ("hold a key to keep moving") is
+deliberately NOT served here. A terminal in cbreak mode delivers only key-down
+bytes — there is no key-release event — so the held-key model cannot be
+reproduced. Those teleoperators stay on ``pynput`` and use
+:func:`pynput_can_capture` to warn instead of silently doing nothing.

+"""Parity test: original NVIDIA GR00T N1.7 vs the GR00T N1.7 integration in LeRobot.
+
+Verifies that the self-contained LeRobot reimplementation of the GR00T N1.7 action
+head + Qwen3-VL backbone produces the SAME raw model output (``action_pred``, the
+normalized flow-matching prediction before any action decoding) as NVIDIA's original
+``gr00t`` package, given byte-identical pre-processed inputs and the same
+flow-matching seed. The comparison is parametrized over every embodiment tag present
+in the checkpoint.
+
+To keep the comparison fair, the original outputs + the exact collated inputs are
+produced once per embodiment in the original ``gr00t`` env via the companion script
+``utils/dump_original_n1_7.py`` (in the ``utils`` package next to this file) and saved
+to per-tag ``.npz`` files.
+This test discovers those artifacts, replays the identical inputs through the LeRobot
+model, and compares.
+
+This test is LOCAL-only and skips on CI, when ``gr00t``-side prerequisites are not
+present, or when no artifact has been generated. By default it looks for artifacts in
+``<this dir>/artifacts/``; override with ``GROOT_N1_7_PARITY_DIR``. See the
+"Original-vs-LeRobot parity test" section of ``src/lerobot/policies/groot/README.md``

+"""Producer (run in the ORIGINAL gr00t env): dump original GR00T N1.7 outputs + inputs.
+
+The original NVIDIA ``gr00t`` package pins ``transformers==4.57.3`` (py3.10) and its
+model-config dataclasses are incompatible with the ``transformers==5.x`` that the
+LeRobot GR00T N1.7 integration requires. The two implementations therefore cannot be
+imported in the same Python process. To keep the parity comparison FAIR, we run the
+original model in its native env here and serialize, PER EMBODIMENT TAG:
+
+  * the exact pre-processed/collated model inputs (so the LeRobot side consumes the
+    byte-identical tensors -- same image preprocessing, tokenization, normalization),
+  * the random seed used right before the flow-matching sampler,
+  * the raw ``action_pred`` tensor returned by ``model.get_action`` (normalized space,
+    before any per-implementation action decoding).
+
+Inputs are built GENERICALLY from the checkpoint metadata (no per-tag hardcoding):
+state keys + dims come from ``statistics.json``; video + language keys come from the
+processor's per-embodiment modality configs. This lets us test many embodiment tags
+from the SAME checkpoint and confirm the LeRobot integration is not overfit to
+``libero_sim``.
+
+The companion pytest (run in the LeRobot env) loads each .npz, replays the identical
+inputs + seed through the LeRobot GR00T N1.7 model, and asserts the outputs match.
+
+Usage:
+    .venv-original/bin/python tests/policies/groot/utils/dump_original_n1_7.py \
+        --ckpt <path-to-GR00T-N1.7-LIBERO/libero_10> \

+        [--tags libero_sim,oxe_droid_relative_eef_relative_joint,...] \

+Visual Feature Consistency Tests
+
+This module tests the `validate_visual_features_consistency` function,
+which ensures that visual features (camera observations) in a dataset/env
+match the expectations defined in a policy configuration.
+
+The purpose of this check is to prevent mismatches between what a policy expects
+(e.g., `observation.images.camera1`, `camera2`, `camera3`) and what a dataset or
+environment actually provides (e.g., `observation.images.top`, `side`, or fewer cameras).
