+## 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),
-[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:
-
-   ```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

-   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](./docs/source/installation.mdx) 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**:
+
+```bash
+git lfs install
 git lfs pull
 ```
 
-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
+```
+
+## Submitting Issues & Pull Requests
+
+Use the templates for required fields and examples.
+
+- **Issues:** Follow the [ticket template](./.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug-report.yml).
+- **Pull requests:** Rebase on `upstream/main`, use a descriptive branch (don't work on `main`), run `pre-commit` and tests locally, and follow the [PR template](./.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md).
+
+One member of the LeRobot team will then review your contribution.
+
+Thank you for contributing to LeRobot!

-
-## 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 [`miniforge`](https://conda-forge.org/download/):
-
-```bash
-conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.10
-conda activate lerobot
-```
-
-When using `conda`, 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

+## 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.
+
+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, and Vision-Language-Action (VLA) 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=act \
+  --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/aloha_mobile_cabinet
 ```
 
-_Replace `[...]` with your desired features._

-**Available Tags:**
-For a full list of optional dependencies, see:
-https://pypi.org/project/lerobot/
+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
 
-> [!NOTE]
-> For lerobot 0.4.0, if you want to install pi tags, you will have to do: `pip install "lerobot[pi]@git+https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git"`.
->
-> This will be solved in the next patch release
+For detailed policy setup guides, see the [Policy Documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/bring_your_own_policies).
 
-### Weights & Biases
+## Inference & Evaluation
 
-To use [Weights and Biases](https://docs.wandb.ai/quickstart) for experiment tracking, log in with
+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
-wandb login
+# Evaluate a policy on the LIBERO benchmark
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/pi0_libero_finetuned \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  --env.task=libero_object \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10
 ```
 
-(note: you will also need to enable WandB in the configuration. See below.)
+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)
 
-### Visualize datasets
+## Resources
 
-Check out [example 1](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/dataset/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
-lerobot-dataset-viz \
-    --repo-id lerobot/pusht \
-    --episode-index 0
-```
-
-or from a dataset in a local folder with the `root` option and the `--mode local` (in the following case the dataset will be searched for 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
-```
-
-It will open `rerun.io` and display the camera streams, robot states and actions, like this:
-
-https://github-production-user-asset-6210df.s3.amazonaws.com/4681518/328035972-fd46b787-b532-47e2-bb6f-fd536a55a7ed.mov?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAVCODYLSA53PQK4ZA%2F20240505%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20240505T172924Z&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Signature=d680b26c532eeaf80740f08af3320d22ad0b8a4e4da1bcc4f33142c15b509eda&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&actor_id=24889239&key_id=0&repo_id=748713144
-
-Our script can also visualize datasets stored on a distant server. See `lerobot-dataset-viz --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/dataset/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
-  ├ meta: a LeRobotDatasetMetadata object containing:
-  │  ├ 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 (int): frame per second the dataset is recorded/synchronized to
-  │  │  ├ features (dict): all features contained in the dataset with their shapes and types
-  │  │  ├ total_episodes (int): total number of episodes in the dataset
-  │  │  ├ total_frames (int): total number of frames in the dataset
-  │  │  ├ robot_type (str): robot type used for recording
-  │  │  ├ data_path (str): formattable string for the parquet files
-  │  │  └ video_path (str): formattable string for the video files (if using videos)
-  │  ├ episodes: a DataFrame containing episode metadata with columns:
-  │  │  ├ episode_index (int): index of the episode
-  │  │  ├ tasks (list): list of tasks for this episode
-  │  │  ├ length (int): number of frames in this episode
-  │  │  ├ dataset_from_index (int): start index of this episode in the dataset
-  │  │  └ dataset_to_index (int): end index of this episode in the dataset
-  │  ├ stats: a dictionary of statistics (max, mean, min, std) for each feature in the dataset, for instance
-  │  │  ├ observation.images.front_cam: {'max': tensor with same number of dimensions (e.g. `(c, 1, 1)` for images, `(c,)` for states), etc.}
-  │  │  └ ...
-  │  └ tasks: a DataFrame containing task information with task names as index and task_index as values
-  ├ root (Path): local directory where the dataset is stored
-  ├ image_transforms (Callable): optional image transformations to apply to visual modalities
-  └ delta_timestamps (dict): optional delta timestamps for temporal queries
-```
-
-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.
-
-#### 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 [lerobot_eval.py](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/scripts/lerobot_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.

+# Bring Your Own Policies
+
+This tutorial explains how to integrate your own custom policy implementations into the LeRobot ecosystem, allowing you to leverage all LeRobot tools for training, evaluation, and deployment while using your own algorithms.
+
+## Step 1: Create a Policy Package
+
+Your custom policy should be organized as an installable Python package following LeRobot's plugin conventions.
+
+### Package Structure
+
+Create a package with the prefix `lerobot_policy_` (IMPORTANT!) followed by your policy name:
+
+```bash
+lerobot_policy_my_custom_policy/
+├── pyproject.toml
+└── src/
+    └── lerobot_policy_my_custom_policy/
+        ├── __init__.py
+        ├── configuration_my_custom_policy.py
+        ├── modeling_my_custom_policy.py
+        └── processor_my_custom_policy.py
+```
+
+### Package Configuration
+
+Set up your `pyproject.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[project]
+name = "lerobot_policy_my_custom_policy"
+version = "0.1.0"
+dependencies = [
+    # your policy-specific dependencies
+]
+requires-python = ">= 3.11"
+
+[build-system]
+build-backend = # your-build-backend
+requires = # your-build-system
+```
+
+## Step 2: Define the Policy Configuration
+
+Create a configuration class that inherits from `PreTrainedConfig` and registers your policy type:
+
+```python
+# configuration_my_custom_policy.py
+from dataclasses import dataclass, field
+from lerobot.configs.policies import PreTrainedConfig
+from lerobot.configs.types import NormalizationMode
+
+@PreTrainedConfig.register_subclass("my_custom_policy")
+@dataclass
+class MyCustomPolicyConfig(PreTrainedConfig):
+    """Configuration class for MyCustomPolicy.
+
+    Args:
+        n_obs_steps: Number of observation steps to use as input
+        horizon: Action prediction horizon
+        n_action_steps: Number of action steps to execute
+        hidden_dim: Hidden dimension for the policy network
+        # Add your policy-specific parameters here
+    """
+    # ...PreTrainedConfig fields...
+    pass
+
+    def __post_init__(self):
+        super().__post_init__()
+        # Add any validation logic here
+
+    def validate_features(self) -> None:
+        """Validate input/output feature compatibility."""
+        # Implement validation logic for your policy's requirements
+        pass
+```
+
+## Step 3: Implement the Policy Class
+
+Create your policy implementation by inheriting from LeRobot's base `PreTrainedPolicy` class:
+
+```python
+# modeling_my_custom_policy.py
+import torch
+import torch.nn as nn
+from typing import Dict, Any
+
+from lerobot.policies.pretrained import PreTrainedPolicy
+from .configuration_my_custom_policy import MyCustomPolicyConfig
+
+class MyCustomPolicy(PreTrainedPolicy):
+    config_class = MyCustomPolicyConfig
+    name = "my_custom_policy"
+
+    def __init__(self, config: MyCustomPolicyConfig, dataset_stats: Dict[str, Any] = None):
+        super().__init__(config, dataset_stats)
+        ...
+```
+
+## Step 4: Add Data Processors
+
+Create processor functions:
+
+```python
+# processor_my_custom_policy.py
+from typing import Dict, Any
+import torch
+
+
+def make_my_custom_policy_pre_post_processors(
+    config,
+) -> tuple[
+    PolicyProcessorPipeline[dict[str, Any], dict[str, Any]],
+    PolicyProcessorPipeline[PolicyAction, PolicyAction],
+]:
+    """Create preprocessing and postprocessing functions for your policy."""
+    pass  # Define your preprocessing and postprocessing logic here
+
+```
+
+## Step 5: Package Initialization
+
+Expose your classes in the package's `__init__.py`:
+
+```python
+# __init__.py
+"""Custom policy package for LeRobot."""
+
+try:
+    import lerobot  # noqa: F401
+except ImportError:
+    raise ImportError(
+        "lerobot is not installed. Please install lerobot to use this policy package."
+    )
+
+from .configuration_my_custom_policy import MyCustomPolicyConfig
+from .modeling_my_custom_policy import MyCustomPolicy
+from .processor_my_custom_policy import make_my_custom_policy_pre_post_processors
+
+__all__ = [
+    "MyCustomPolicyConfig",
+    "MyCustomPolicy",
+    "make_my_custom_policy_pre_post_processors",
+]
+```
+
+## Step 6: Installation and Usage
+
+### Install Your Policy Package
+
+```bash
+cd lerobot_policy_my_custom_policy
+pip install -e .
+
+# Or install from PyPI if published
+pip install lerobot_policy_my_custom_policy
+```
+
+### Use Your Policy
+
+Once installed, your policy automatically integrates with LeRobot's training and evaluation tools:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --policy.type my_custom_policy \
+    --env.type pusht \
+    --steps 200000
+```

+# EarthRover Mini Plus
+
+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 3.10 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 dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+## 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):
+
+```bash
+huggingface-cli login --token ${HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN} --add-to-git-credential
+```
+
+Store your Hugging Face username:
+
+```bash
+HF_USER=$(huggingface-cli whoami | head -n 1)
+echo $HF_USER
+```
+
+### Start Recording
+
+Use the standard recording command:
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/scripts/lerobot_record.py \
+    --robot.type=earthrover_mini_plus \
+    --teleop.type=keyboard_rover \
+    --dataset.repo_id=your_username/dataset_name \
+    --dataset.num_episodes=2 \
+    --dataset.fps=10 \
+    --dataset.single_task="Navigate around obstacles" \
+    --display_data=true
+```
+
+Replace `your_username/dataset_name` with your Hugging Face username and a name for your dataset.
+
+### What Gets Saved
+
+Your dataset includes:
+
+**Your Actions (2 things)**:
+
+- How much you moved forward/backward
+- How much you turned left/right
+
+**Robot Observations (12 things)**:
+
+- Front camera video
+- Rear camera video
+- Current speed
+- Battery level
+- Which way the robot is facing
+- GPS location (latitude, longitude, signal strength)
+- Network signal strength
+- Vibration level
+- Lamp status (on/off)
+
+### Where Your Data Goes
+
+On your computer: `~/.cache/huggingface/lerobot/{repo-id}`
+
+After recording, your data automatically uploads to your Hugging Face page:
+
+```bash
+echo https://huggingface.co/datasets/${HF_USER}/earthrover-navigation
+```
+
+Your dataset will be tagged with `LeRobot` for community discovery.

+# 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
+libero_preprocessor, libero_postprocessor = make_env_pre_post_processors(libero_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(libero_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.factory import make_env_pre_post_processors
+from lerobot.envs.configs import LiberoEnv, PushtEnv
+
+# 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.pipeline 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 the Factory
+
+```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.

 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.
 
-## Overview
+## What is EnvHub?
 
-With EnvHub, you can:
+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.
 
-- Load environments from the Hub instantly
-- Share your custom simulation tasks with the community
-- Version control your environments using Git
-- Distribute complex physics simulations without packaging hassles
+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`.

+--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
+
+
+@parser.wrap()

+        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.factory 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
+```
+
+And then launch the teleop script.

+
+## ☁️ 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>

+
+# 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...

-# 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/lerobot/config_examples/resolve/main/sim_il/env_config.json).
-
-To teleoperate and collect a dataset, we need to modify this config file. Here's an example configuration for imitation learning data collection:
-
-```json
-{
-  "env": {
-    "type": "gym_manipulator",
-    "name": "gym_hil",
-    "task": "PandaPickCubeGamepad-v0",
-    "fps": 10
-  },
-  "dataset": {
-    "repo_id": "your_username/il_gym",
-    "root": null,
-    "task": "pick_cube",
-    "num_episodes_to_record": 30,
-    "replay_episode": null,
-    "push_to_hub": true
-  },
-  "mode": "record",
-  "device": "cuda"
-}
-```
-
-Key configuration points:
-
-- Set your `repo_id` in the `dataset` section: `"repo_id": "your_username/il_gym"`
-- Set `num_episodes_to_record: 30` to collect 30 demonstration episodes
-- Ensure `mode` is set to `"record"`
-- If you don't have an NVIDIA GPU, change `"device": "cuda"` to `"mps"` for macOS or `"cpu"`
-- To use keyboard instead of gamepad, change `"task"` to `"PandaPickCubeKeyboard-v0"`
-
-Then we can run this command to start:
-
-<hfoptions id="teleop_sim">
-<hfoption id="Linux">
-
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.rl.gym_manipulator --config_path path/to/env_config_gym_hil_il.json
-```
-
-</hfoption>
-<hfoption id="MacOS">
-
-```bash
-mjpython -m lerobot.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!
-
-**Gamepad Controls**

-</p>
-<p align="center">
-  <i>Gamepad button mapping for robot control and episode management</i>
-</p>
-
-**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.
-

-</p>

-
-## 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 a configuration file. An example can be found [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/config_examples/resolve/main/sim_il/eval_config.json).
-
-Here's an example evaluation configuration:
-
-```json
-{
-  "env": {
-    "type": "gym_manipulator",
-    "name": "gym_hil",
-    "task": "PandaPickCubeGamepad-v0",
-    "fps": 10
-  },
-  "dataset": {
-    "repo_id": "your_username/il_sim_dataset",
-    "dataset_root": null,
-    "task": "pick_cube"
-  },
-  "pretrained_policy_name_or_path": "your_username/il_sim_model",
-  "device": "cuda"
-}
-```
-
-Make sure to replace:
-
-- `repo_id` with the dataset you trained on (e.g., `your_username/il_sim_dataset`)
-- `pretrained_policy_name_or_path` with your model ID (e.g., `your_username/il_sim_model`)
-
-Then you can run this command to visualize your trained policy
-
-<hfoptions id="eval_policy">
-<hfoption id="Linux">
-
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.rl.eval_policy --config_path=path/to/eval_config_gym_hil.json
-```
-
-</hfoption>
-<hfoption id="MacOS">
-
-```bash
-mjpython -m lerobot.rl.eval_policy --config_path=path/to/eval_config_gym_hil.json
-```
-
-</hfoption>
-</hfoptions>
-
-> [!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.

+# 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
+```
+
+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. 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).

 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.

+# 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]"
+   ```
+
+   > [!NOTE]
+   > For lerobot 0.4.0, if you want to install the pi tag, you will have to do: `pip install "lerobot[pi]@git+https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git"`.
+   >
+   > This will be solved in the next patch release
+
+## Training a Custom FAST Tokenizer
+
+You have two options for the FAST tokenizer:
+
+1. **Use the pre-trained tokenizer**: The `physical-intelligence/fast` 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" \

+## 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
+

+| `paligemma_variant`  | VLM backbone variant (`gemma_300m`, `gemma_2b`) | `gemma_2b` |
+| `max_state_dim`      | Maximum state vector dimension (padded)         | `32`       |
+| `max_action_dim`     | Maximum action vector dimension (padded)        | `32`       |
+| `temperature`        | Sampling temperature (0.0 for greedy)           | `0.0`      |
+| `max_decoding_steps` | Maximum decoding steps                          | `256`      |
+| `use_kv_cache`       | Enable KV caching for faster inference          | `true`     |

+## 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  |
+| ----------- | -------------- | ------------- | ----------- | --------- | -------- |

+# 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 find a complete reference implementation in [eval_with_real_robot.py](examples/rtc/eval_with_real_robot.py).
+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.types import RTCAttentionSchedule
+from lerobot.policies.rtc.configuration_rtc import RTCConfig
+from lerobot.policies.rtc.action_queue import 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
+python examples/rtc/eval_with_real_robot.py \
+    --policy.path=${HF_USERNAME}/policy_repo_id \

+    --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                                                 |
+| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |

+| **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 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)

+
+## 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/policies/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
+
+## Set Up Your Environment
+
+1. Install LeRobot by following our [Installation Guide](./installation).
+2. Install SARM dependencies by running:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[sarm]"
+```
+
+Workflow:
+
+```
+1. Train SARM → 2. Visualize predictions → 3. (Optional) Train policy with RA-BC
+```
+
+</hfoption>
+<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.
+
+- **Sparse head**: 1 stage ("task"), linear progress (auto-generated)
+- **Dense head**: Multiple fine-grained stages from VLM annotations
+- **Best for**: When you want detailed subtask tracking but don't need to define high-level stages
+
+Workflow:
+
+```
+1. Annotate (dense) → 2. Verify → 3. Train SARM → 4. Visualize → 5. (Optional) Train policy with RA-BC
+```
+
+</hfoption>
+<hfoption id="dual">
+
+**Both sparse and dense annotations from VLM.** Full dual-head mode as described in the SARM paper, with both high-level (sparse) and fine-grained (dense) stage predictions.
+
+- **Sparse head**: High-level stages from VLM annotations
+- **Dense head**: Fine-grained stages from VLM annotations
+- **Best for**: Complex multi-stage tasks where both granularities are useful
+
+Workflow:
+
+```
+1. Annotate (sparse+dense) → 2. Verify → 3. Train SARM → 4. Visualize → 5. (Optional) Train policy with RA-BC

+
+## Step 4: Visualize Predictions

+
+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 src/lerobot/policies/sarm/compute_rabc_weights.py \
+  --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) |

+| `--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                                 |

+| `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`). Currently PI0, PI0.5 and SmolVLA are supported with RA-BC:

+| `--rabc_progress_path` | Path to progress parquet file (auto-detected from dataset) | `sarm_progress.parquet` in dataset |
+| `--rabc_head_mode`     | Which SARM head's progress to use: `sparse` or `dense`     | `sparse`                           |
+| `--rabc_kappa`         | Threshold κ for high-quality samples                       | `0.01`                             |
+
+### 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         |
+| ------------------ | ------------- | ------------------------- |
+| `rabc_mean_weight` | 0.3 - 0.8     | ≈ 1.0 means kappa too low |
+| `rabc_delta_mean`  | > 0           | Should be positive        |
+| `rabc_delta_std`   | > 0           | Variance in data quality  |
+
+**If `rabc_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 `rabc_delta_mean` and `rabc_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)
+--rabc_kappa=0.03
+
+# Option 2: Set kappa = delta_mean + delta_std (high selectivity)
+--rabc_kappa=0.05
+
+# Option 3: Set kappa = delta_mean + 2*delta_std (very selective)
+--rabc_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 \
+  --use_rabc=true \
+  --rabc_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 `rabc_mean_weight`**: If it's ≈ 1.0, increase kappa (see [Tuning RA-BC Kappa](#tuning-ra-bc-kappa))

+### 2. Set the motors ids and baudrates
+
+Each motor is identified by a unique id on the bus. When brand new, motors usually come with a default id of `1`. For the communication to work properly between the motors and the controller, we first need to set a unique, different id to each motor. Additionally, the speed at which data is transmitted on the bus is determined by the baudrate. In order to talk to each other, the controller and all the motors need to be configured with the same baudrate.
+
+To that end, we first need to connect to each motor individually with the controller in order to set these. Since we will write these parameters in the non-volatile section of the motors' internal memory (EEPROM), we'll only need to do this once.
+
+If you are repurposing motors from another robot, you will probably also need to perform this step as the ids and baudrate likely won't match.

+# 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.

+```bash
+ssh unitree@192.168.123.164
+# Password: 123
+```
+
+You should now be connected to the G1's Orin.
+
+---
+
+## Part 2: Enable WiFi on the Robot
+
+Wlan0 is disabled by default on the G1. To enable it:
+
+### Step 1: Enable WiFi Hardware
+
+```bash
+sudo rfkill unblock wifi
+sudo rfkill unblock all
+
+# Bring up wlan0
+sudo ip link set wlan0 up
+
+# Enable NetworkManager control of wlan0
+sudo nmcli radio wifi on
+sudo nmcli device set wlan0 managed yes
+sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
+```
+
+### Step 2: Enable Internet Forwarding
+
+**On your laptop:**
+
+```bash
+# Enable IP forwarding
+sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
+
+# Set up NAT (replace wlp132s0f0 with your WiFi interface)
+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
+# Add laptop as default gateway
+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
+
+# Test connection
+ping -c 3 8.8.8.8
+```
+
+### Step 3: Connect to WiFi Network
+
+```bash
+# List available networks
+nmcli device wifi list
+
+# Connect to your WiFi (example)
+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"
+
+# Check WiFi IP address
+ip a show wlan0
+```
+
+### Step 4: SSH Over WiFi
+
+Once connected to WiFi, note the robot's IP address and disconnect the Ethernet cable. You can now SSH over WiFi:
+
+```bash
+ssh unitree@<YOUR_ROBOT_IP>
+# Password: 123
+```
+
+Replace `<YOUR_ROBOT_IP>` with your robot's actual WiFi IP address.
+
+---
+
+## Part 3: Robot Server Setup
+
+### Step 1: Install LeRobot on the Orin
+
+SSH into the robot and install LeRobot:
+
+```bash
+ssh unitree@<YOUR_ROBOT_IP>
+
+conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.10
+conda activate lerobot
+git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git
+cd lerobot
+pip install -e '.[unitree_g1]'
+git clone https://github.com/unitreerobotics/unitree_sdk2_python.git
+cd unitree_sdk2_python  && pip install -e .
+```
+
+**Note**: The Unitree SDK requires CycloneDDS v0.10.2 to be installed. See the [Unitree SDK documentation](https://github.com/unitreerobotics/unitree_sdk2_python) for details.
+
+### Step 2: Run the Robot Server
+
+On the robot:
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/robots/unitree_g1/run_g1_server.py
+```
+
+**Important**: Keep this terminal running. The server must be active for remote control.
+
+---
+
+## Part 4: Controlling the robot
+
+With the robot server running, you can now control the robot remotely. Let's launch a locomotion policy
+
+### Step 1: Install LeRobot on your machine
+
+```bash
+conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.10
+conda activate lerobot
+git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git
+cd lerobot
+pip install -e '.[unitree_g1]'
+git clone https://github.com/unitreerobotics/unitree_sdk2_python.git
+cd unitree_sdk2_python  && pip install -e .
+```
+
+### Step 2: Update Robot IP in Config
+
+Edit the config file to match your robot's WiFi IP:
+
+```python
+# In src/lerobot/robots/unitree_g1/config_unitree_g1.py
+robot_ip: str = "<YOUR_ROBOT_IP>"  # Replace with your robot's WiFi IP.
+```
+
+### Step 3: Run the Locomotion Policy
+
+```bash
+# Run GR00T locomotion controller
+python examples/unitree_g1/gr00t_locomotion.py --repo-id "nepyope/GR00T-WholeBodyControl_g1"
+
+# Run Holosoma locomotion controller
+python examples/unitree_g1/holosoma_locomotion.py
+
+```
+
+Press `Ctrl+C` to stop the policy.
+
+---
+
+## Running in Simulation Mode (MuJoCo)
+
+You can now test policies before unleashing them on the physical robot using MuJoCo. To do so simply set `is_simulation=True` in config.

+# 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

+# 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.
+
+<p align="center">

+    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.

+    alt="XVLA Architecture 2"
+    style="width: 60%; height: auto;"
+  />
+</p>
+
+With only 1% of parameters tuned (9M), X-VLA-0.9B achieves near-π₀ performance on LIBERO and Simpler-WidowX, despite using **300× fewer trainable parameters**. It also demonstrates strong real-world dexterity with minimal demonstrations, including folding cloths in under two minutes.

+    style="width: 95%; max-width: 1100px; height: auto;"
+  />
+</p>
+
+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.
+
+### Simulation Checkpoints

+
+## 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=pepijn223/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](/home/jade_choghari/robot/lerobot/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.processor_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

+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.

+Demo script showing how to use Real-Time Chunking (RTC) with action chunking policies on real robots.
+
+This script demonstrates:
+1. Creating a robot and policy (SmolVLA, Pi0, etc.) with RTC
+2. Consuming actions from the policy while the robot executes
+3. Periodically requesting new action chunks in the background using threads
+4. Managing action buffers and timing for real-time operation
+
+For simulation environments, see eval_with_simulation.py
