- Added Nan detection mechanisms in the actor, learner and gym_manipulator for the case where we encounter nans in the loop.
- changed the non-blocking in the `.to(device)` functions to only work for the case of cuda because they were causing nans when running the policy on mps
- Added some joint clipping and limits in the env, robot and policy configs. TODO clean this part and make the limits in one config file only.

- Added `lerobot/scripts/server/find_joint_limits.py` to test the min and max angles of the motion you wish the robot to explore during RL training.
- Added logic in `manipulator.py` to limit the maximum possible joint angles to allow motion within a predefined joint position range. The limits are specified in the yaml config for each robot. Checkout the so100.yaml.

Added functions for converting the replay buffer from and to LeRobotDataset. When we want to save the replay buffer, we convert it first to LeRobotDataset format and save it locally and vice-versa.
