 ## Notes

 - **Mypy is gradual**: strict only for `lerobot.envs`, `lerobot.configs`, `lerobot.optim`, `lerobot.model`, `lerobot.cameras`, `lerobot.motors`, `lerobot.transport`. Add type annotations when modifying these modules.
- **Imports**: prefer top-level imports; relative (`from .sibling import X`) across sibling files within a module, absolute (`from lerobot.module import X`) across modules.
- **Optional dependencies**: many policies, envs, and robots are behind extras (e.g., `lerobot[aloha]`, see `pyproject.toml`). Guard optional imports with `TYPE_CHECKING or _foo_available` at module top + a `require_package(...)` check at use time. Reuse the `_foo_available` flags in `utils/import_utils.py`; don't call `is_package_available`.
+- **Optional dependencies**: many policies, envs, and robots are behind extras (e.g., `lerobot[aloha]`). New imports for optional packages must be guarded or lazy. See `pyproject.toml [project.optional-dependencies]`.
 - **Video decoding**: datasets can store observations as video files. `LeRobotDataset` handles frame extraction, but tests need ffmpeg installed.
 - **Prioritize use of `uv run`** to execute Python commands (not raw `python` or `pip`).

Someone from the HF security team will review the report and recommend next steps. 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.
-
-## Recognition
-
-We do not offer a monetary bounty. For a valid, in-scope report we credit you on the published GitHub Security Advisory and name you as the reporter in the associated CVE. Let us know how you'd like to be credited (name or handle).
-
-## What your report must include
-
-We receive a high volume of reports. To be triaged, a report **must** follow the structure below. Copy this block into your submission and fill in every field. Reports missing the version, the proof of concept, or the impact are returned as incomplete and are not investigated until provided.
-
-```markdown
-### Summary
-
-One sentence: what the vulnerability is and where.
-
-### Affected version / commit
-
-Exact released version or commit SHA you reproduced on (e.g. v4.57.0 / a1b2c3d).
-Not "latest" or "main".
-
-### Affected component
-
-The public API, module, or entry point involved (e.g. `AutoModel.from_pretrained`).
-
-### Vulnerability class
-
-Type and CWE if known (e.g. deserialization / CWE-502, path traversal / CWE-22).
-
-### Attack vector & preconditions
-
- How is the vulnerable code reached? (which API call / input / config)
- Who is the attacker and what do they control?
- What must be true for the attack to work? (auth, a user action, a non-default
-  setting, a malicious file being loaded, etc.)
-
-### Proof of concept
-
-A minimal, self-contained script or step sequence that runs on a clean install
-of the version above. Include:
-
- the exact commands / code to run,
- any input files needed (attach them, or give a script that generates them),
- the **expected** behavior vs. the **actual** behavior you observed.
-  A snippet showing that a function _exists_ or _could_ be misused is not a PoC.
-
-### Impact
-
-What an attacker gains in a realistic deployment. "Could theoretically…"
-without a working chain is not an impact.
-
-### Scope
-
-Which trust boundary (see below) does this cross? If your finding touches
-anything in the "Out of scope" list, name which item and explain why it is
-nonetheless a violation of a guarantee we make.
-
-### Suggested severity (optional)
-
-We assign the final severity. Include a CVSS v3.1 vector only if you have one.
-
-### Suggested fix (optional)
-```
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> The bar is a **reproducible PoC against a supported version, with a concrete impact that crosses a trust boundary we actually defend** (see scope below). Reports that are theoretical, auto-generated by a scanner or LLM, or that restate documented behavior will be closed without detailed review.

-## Threat model & trust boundaries
-
-`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. We _will_ treat as a vulnerability anything that breaks one of these protections — e.g. code executing despite `safetensors`-only loading, or a pinned revision being bypassed.
+`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.
+Some models or environments on the Hub may require `trust_remote_code=True` to run custom architecture code.

-## In scope
-
-We treat as vulnerabilities issues in the **published package code** — the library's own API surface — that an attacker can trigger without the victim having opted into a documented risk. For example:
-
- code execution, memory corruption, or file access reachable through a normal API call on input that is **not** an untrusted model/artifact the user chose to load;
- a control we advertise being bypassed (e.g. code running despite `safetensors`-only loading, or a pinned revision being ignored);
- exposure or mishandling of credentials, tokens, or another user's data by the library;
- a real escape from a backend we document as a sandbox;
- CI/CD or supply-chain issues in this repository.
-
-## Out of scope
-
-The following are **not** treated as vulnerabilities in `lerobot`. If your finding touches one of these, the report must explain why it is nonetheless a violation of a guarantee we make — otherwise it will be closed.
-
- Issues that require loading an untrusted artifact and amount to the documented load-time risk above (code execution / file access on load of a malicious model, dataset, config, or pickle).
- Findings in `examples/`, documentation, tests, or other non-packaged reference material.
- Local denial-of-service from feeding pathological input to a function on your own machine (high memory, slow parse, panic), absent a multi-tenant or remote-service impact.
- Model behavior: jailbreaks, alignment failures, prompt injection, or harmful generations. Model weights are authored by their uploaders; report these to the model owner.
- Vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies we do not vendor — report upstream (we'll bump once fixed).
- Theoretical issues without a working proof of concept, and reports auto-generated from scanners or LLMs without a verified, reproducible chain.
- Best-practice or hardening suggestions with no demonstrated impact — missing email-authentication or transport records (MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, DMARC/SPF tuning), missing HTTP security headers, TLS configuration preferences, and similar scanner or config-checker output presented without a working exploit chain.
-
-## Safe harbor
-
-Good-faith research that respects these guidelines, avoids privacy violations and service disruption, and gives us a reasonable disclosure window will not be pursued by us. Do not access data that isn't yours and do not run tests against Hugging Face production infrastructure.

 Batches are flat dictionaries keyed by the constants in [`lerobot.utils.constants`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/utils/constants.py): `OBS_STATE` (`observation.state.<motor>`), `OBS_IMAGES` (`observation.images.<camera>`), `OBS_LANGUAGE`, `ACTION`, etc. Reuse the constants — don't invent new prefixes.

-If your model is large enough to warrant [sharded multi-GPU training](./multi_gpu_training#sharded-training-fsdp), also declare its FSDP wrap units — the repeated block classes sharding operates on:
-
-```python
-class MyPolicy(PreTrainedPolicy):
-    ...
-    _fsdp_wrap_modules = ["MyTransformerBlock"]
-```
-
-With this one declaration, `--parallelism.dp_shard=N` works out of the box for your policy (users can still override it with `--accelerator.fsdp.wrap_modules`). Without any wrap source, sharded runs fail at startup by design.
-
 ### Processor functions

 LeRobot uses `PolicyProcessorPipeline`s to normalize inputs and de-normalize outputs around your policy. For a concrete reference, see [`processor_act.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/policies/act/processor_act.py) or [`processor_diffusion.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/policies/diffusion/processor_diffusion.py).

-Pay close attention here: processors are the most common reproducibility pain point. A mismatch in normalization mode (`IDENTITY` vs `MEAN_STD` vs `MIN_MAX` vs `QUANTILES`/`QUANTILE10`) or in which features get normalized will train and eval without erroring, yet silently wreck results. Make sure the modes match how the checkpoint was trained, that the required stats exist (e.g. `QUANTILES` needs `q01`/`q99`), and that the pre- and post-processors stay consistent.

 Mirror an existing policy that's structurally similar to yours; the diff is small.

 ### Heavy / optional dependencies

-Most policies need a heavy backbone (transformers, diffusers, a specific VLM SDK). Wherever one exists, prefer loading it e.g from `transformers` or `diffusers` rather than re-implementing the architecture in-tree.
-

-### Avoid copying a modeling file — subclass it
-
-If your policy needs to modify a backbone that already exists in `transformers` (custom conditioning, extra inputs, a swapped sub-module), **do not vendor a copy of its `modeling_*.py`**. Instead, subclass the smallest upstream unit and override only what changes. [`pi_gemma.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/policies/pi_gemma.py) is the canonical reference: it injects AdaRMS conditioning into PaliGemma/Gemma in ~370 lines by subclassing `GemmaModel`/`PaliGemmaModel` and overriding the decoder-layer forward, instead of forking the ~2,000-line modeling file. Model surgery on a _loaded_ native model is also fine (layer truncation, tokenizer expansion, hidden-state capture — see `evo1/internvl3_embedder.py`, `eo1/modeling_eo1.py`, `groot/groot_n1_7.py` for working examples). Reviewers will ask for this pattern when a PR arrives with a copied modeling file; the only accepted exception is a model that does not exist in `transformers` at all.

 ### Benchmarks and a published checkpoint

 A new policy is much easier to review — and far more useful — when it ships with a working checkpoint and at least one number you can reproduce.

 **Pick at least one in-tree benchmark.** LeRobot ships sim benchmarks with per-benchmark Docker images (LIBERO, LIBERO-plus, Meta-World, RoboTwin 2.0, RoboCasa365, RoboCerebra, RoboMME, VLABench and more). Pick the one that matches your policy's modality — VLAs usually go to LIBERO or VLABench; image-only BC to LIBERO or Meta-World. The full list lives under [Benchmarks](./libero) in the docs sidebar.

-**Push the checkpoint & processors** to the Hub under `lerobot/<policy>_<benchmark>` (or your namespace if you don't have write access; a maintainer can mirror it). The easiest way is training with `--policy.repo_id=<namespace>/<repo>` and `--policy.push_to_hub=true`: `lerobot-train` publishes the model, both processors, and a model card at the end of the run. To publish an existing checkpoint after the fact, upload its `pretrained_model/` directory (e.g. `huggingface-cli upload`), or use `lerobot-convert-dcp --push_to_hub=...` for sharded-format checkpoints.

-#### Reference training recipe
-
-The released checkpoint records the complete resolved Stage-2 configuration in
-[`train_config.json`](https://huggingface.co/zuoxingdong/evo1_libero/blob/515921f4a2c1d3f3ad523721eafa26fdf2af315b/train_config.json).
-The measured run used two H100 GPUs with two DDP processes and batch 64 per process, giving global batch 128. Both stages used the same topology. The base VLM came from revision
-`014c0583a0d4bedf29fbe2dbff4f865eb998e171` of `OpenGVLab/InternVL3-1B-hf`.
-The released artifact does not record the exact LeRobot training commit or its original dependency lock,
-so the commands below reproduce the recorded configuration and topology from a current checkout rather
-than reconstructing the software environment bit for bit.
-
-From a LeRobot source checkout, install the locked dependencies and download that exact VLM revision:
-
-```bash
-uv sync --locked --extra training --extra evo1 --extra libero

 **State-of-the-art machine learning for real-world robotics**

-🤗 LeRobot provides a hardware-agnostic, Python-native interface for controlling real robots - from affordable arms like the SO-ARM101 to full humanoids. Plus the tools to record, store, and share the datasets they generate. Every dataset uses the standardized **LeRobotDataset** format (synchronized video + action/state data) and can be streamed directly from the [Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.co/lerobot).
+🤗 LeRobot aims to provide models, datasets, and tools for real-world robotics in PyTorch. The goal is to lower the barrier for entry to robotics so that everyone can contribute and benefit from sharing datasets and pretrained models.

-🤗 On top of that data, LeRobot implements state-of-the-art policies - from lightweight imitation-learning models like ACT to large vision-language-action models like π₀ and SmolVLA - all trainable, shareable, and deployable with the same handful of CLI commands.
+🤗 LeRobot contains state-of-the-art approaches that have been shown to transfer to the real-world with a focus on imitation learning and reinforcement learning.

-The goal: lower the barrier to entry for robotics, so that everyone can contribute to, and benefit from, shared datasets and pretrained models.
+🤗 LeRobot already provides a set of pretrained models, datasets with human collected demonstrations, and simulated environments so that everyone can get started.

-## How It Works
-
-**Teleoperate → Record → Train → Deploy**
-
-1. **Teleoperate** - control the robot yourself (with a leader arm, keyboard, or phone) so it can learn from your movements.
-2. **Record** - each demonstration is saved as a dataset: synchronized camera video plus the actions you took.
-3. **Train** - a policy (the neural network that will control the robot) learns to imitate your demonstrations.
-4. **Deploy** - run the trained policy on the robot and watch it complete the task on its own.

-## Common Problems
-
-Running into issues? A few of the most frequent ones:
-
- **Blurry or unusable camera footage** - lighting matters more than resolution. See the [Cameras](./cameras) guide.
- **Build or install errors** (`cmake`, `ffmpeg`, CUDA) - see the Troubleshooting section of the [Installation guide](./installation#troubleshooting).
- **Not sure which policy fits your GPU** - check the [Compute & Hardware Guide](./hardware_guide).
- **Still stuck?** Ask on [Discord](https://discord.gg/s3KuuzsPFb) - the community (and the LeRobot team) is there to help.

-# Isaac Teleop
-
-Control your robot with NVIDIA [Isaac Teleop](https://github.com/NVIDIA/IsaacTeleop), a
-multi-modal teleoperation framework. Isaac Teleop drives a single `TeleopSession` from a range
-of input devices — XR (VR) controllers, hand tracking, full-body tracking, Manus gloves, foot
-pedals, and more.
-
-In LeRobot, Isaac Teleop ships as a self-contained example under
-[`examples/isaac_teleop_to_so101/`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/tree/main/examples/isaac_teleop_to_so101).
-Each Isaac Teleop input device is its own `Teleoperator` subclass in the example's
-`isaac_teleop` package, sharing one session lifecycle (see `IsaacTeleopTeleoperator`). The
-devices available today are the **XR controller** (`XRController`) and a back-drivable
-**SO-101 leader arm** (`SO101LeaderArm`); Manus gloves and hand/full-body tracking are the
-natural next devices. This guide focuses on the XR controller; the SO-101 leader is summarized
-under [Run the example](#step-3-run-the-example).
-
-**In this guide you'll learn:**
-
- How an Isaac Teleop device drives a robot end‑effector (EE) target
- How the _clutch_ (squeeze/grip on the XR controller) engages teleoperation without jerking the arm
- How to run the SO‑101 teleoperation example and tune motion / gripper / IK
-
-## Installation
-
-The example lives in the LeRobot repository (it is not part of the `lerobot` pip package), so
-clone the repo and install from source. The canonical, always-up-to-date install and usage
-reference is the example's
-[`README.md`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/tree/main/examples/isaac_teleop_to_so101/README.md);
-in short:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git
-cd lerobot
-uv pip install -e ".[feetech,kinematics,dataset]" "huggingface_hub>=1.5"
-uv pip install "isaacteleop[cloudxr,retargeters-lite]~=1.3.131" "scipy>=1.14"
-```
-
-`isaacteleop` is published on public PyPI (Linux only). The `cloudxr` extra brings the CloudXR
-runtime bindings; `retargeters-lite` is the scipy-based retargeter path that resolves on both
-x86_64 and ARM (on aarch64 — e.g. a DGX Spark — the full `retargeters` extra does not resolve
-because of its `dex-retargeting`/`nlopt` pins, which is why it is not the default here). On
-x86_64 you can additionally install the full retargeter stack:
-
-```bash
-uv pip install "isaacteleop[retargeters]~=1.3.131"
-```
-
-### Set up CloudXR and connect a headset
-
-Isaac Teleop streams the headset to your machine over **NVIDIA CloudXR**, which provides the
-OpenXR runtime the session connects to. By default LeTeleop **auto-launches the CloudXR runtime
-for you** when you call `teleop_device.connect()` — you no longer have to run `python -m
-isaacteleop.cloudxr` and `source cloudxr.env` in a separate shell. All you need is a supported
-headset connected and the CloudXR firewall ports open. Follow the Isaac Teleop
-[Quick Start](https://nvidia.github.io/IsaacTeleop/main/getting_started/quick_start.html) for the
-headset-pairing and firewall details.
-
-**First run (EULA).** The very first launch must accept the NVIDIA CloudXR EULA. The auto-launch
-prompts for it **on stdin**, so on a headless machine it will hang waiting for input. Bootstrap
-the EULA once, interactively, with:
-
-```bash
-python -m isaacteleop.cloudxr --accept-eula   # one-time: accept the CloudXR EULA
-```
-
-After that, `connect()` launches the runtime non-interactively. The launch **blocks for ~30s**
-while the runtime comes up.
-
-**Configuration.** Two fields on `IsaacTeleopConfig` (shared by every device) control this:
-
- `auto_launch_cloudxr` (default `True`) — whether `connect()` starts the runtime. Set `False`
-  when CloudXR is already running externally.
- `cloudxr_env_file` (default `None`) — an optional CloudXR device-profile `.env` selecting the
-  headset transport (e.g. an Apple Vision Pro profile). This is launcher **input**; it is not the
-  `~/.cloudxr/run/cloudxr.env` **output** file the old manual flow told you to `source`. `None`
-  keeps the default auto-WebRTC profile — though the SO-101 example overrides it to the
-  `default.env` shipped next to `teleoperate.py` unless you pass `--teleop.cloudxr_env_file`.
-
-**Opting out.** To skip the auto-launch (CloudXR already running), either set
-`auto_launch_cloudxr=False` or export:
-
-```bash
-export LEROBOT_CLOUDXR_SKIP_AUTOLAUNCH=1
-```
-
-The **env var takes precedence over the config field**: if `LEROBOT_CLOUDXR_SKIP_AUTOLAUNCH=1` is
-set, the auto-launch is skipped even when `auto_launch_cloudxr=True`. This variable is
-**independent** of Isaac Lab's `ISAACLAB_CXR_SKIP_AUTOLAUNCH` — setting one does not affect the
-other.
-
-**One teleoperator per process.** The CloudXR runtime configures the environment process-wide (a
-singleton), so run a single Isaac Teleop teleoperator per process.
-
-**Shutting down.** Always call `teleop_device.disconnect()` on exit — including on Ctrl-C. Wrap
-your teleoperation loop in `try/finally` and call `disconnect()` in the `finally`. This tears down
-the OpenXR session **before** the CloudXR runtime, which is the required order; the launcher's
-`atexit` hook only reaps the runtime and does not run the session's `__exit__`, so without an
-explicit `disconnect()` an interrupted run shuts down in the wrong order.
-
-```python
-teleop_device.connect()
-try:
-    while True:
-        action = teleop_device.get_action()
-        # ... drive the robot ...
-finally:
-    teleop_device.disconnect()
-```
-
-See [System Requirements](https://nvidia.github.io/IsaacTeleop/main/references/requirements.html)
-for supported OS / GPU / CloudXR versions and headsets.
-
-## How it works
-
-The XR controller is one Isaac Teleop **input** device. `XRController` is a deliberately thin
-reader: it exposes the **raw** controller grip pose — already statically rebased into the robot
-base frame — plus the squeeze and trigger analog values. It has **no** retargeters and **no**
-clutch logic of its own. The clutch (engage latch + delta rebasing onto the EE) and the gripper
-mapping live downstream in the example loop, which then feeds LeRobot's existing closed‑loop
-Cartesian IK pipeline — the same one the phone teleoperator uses. The device‑specific pieces are
-`XRController`, the loop's `Clutch`, and `MapXRControllerActionToRobotAction`; everything downstream
-(`EEBoundsAndSafety`, `InverseKinematicsEEToJoints`) is shared, and a future device (e.g. Manus
-gloves) would swap in its own `teleop_<device>.py` + processor while reusing the rest.
-
-`XRController._build_pipeline` wires Isaac Teleop's `ControllersSource` — statically rebased into
-the robot base frame by the native `ControllerTransform` (`base_T_anchor`) — and exposes the
-transformed controller stream verbatim. `get_action()` reads the grip pose, squeeze, and trigger
-straight off it; the session is always stepped `RUNNING` (there is no clutch retargeter to gate).
-
-The `Clutch` class (in `examples/isaac_teleop_to_so101/isaac_teleop/clutch.py`, driven by the
-loop in `common.py`) mirrors Isaac Teleop's `SO101ClutchRetargeter`, but lives in-loop so the
-device can stay a thin reader:
-
- It latches its engage origin on the squeeze **engage edge** (the frame the squeeze first crosses
-  `clutch_threshold`) and rebases both position and orientation around it, so engaging does not
-  teleport the arm. `Clutch.rebase` returns the absolute base-frame target as a `(pos, quat)`
-  pair, which the loop concatenates into the 7D `ee_pose` fed to the processor.
- The analog trigger becomes a gripper `closedness` in `[0, 1]` (0 = open, 1 = closed),
-  proportional to the trigger pull, which `MapXRControllerActionToRobotAction` maps to a jaw target.

-### The clutch: owned by the example loop
-
-Unlike the phone pipeline (which splits the clutch across `MapPhoneActionToRobotAction` and
-`EEReferenceAndDelta`), the XR clutch lives entirely in the example loop's `Clutch` class. It emits
-an **absolute** EE pose, so there is no `EEReferenceAndDelta` stage and no delta accumulation in the
-processor — `MapXRControllerActionToRobotAction` is a pure, stateless per‑frame mapping.
-
-The clutch latches its engage origin on the squeeze **engage edge** (the moment the squeeze crosses
-`clutch_threshold`) and drives the EE from the motion _relative_ to that origin, so the arm does not
-teleport on engage. On **every** engage — startup and mid‑task re‑clutch alike — the home
-_position_ is latched from forward kinematics on the arm's **measured joints**, so the home equals
-where the arm physically is even if it moved while disengaged, and the engage is jump‑free. The
-home _orientation_ keeps the last commanded rotation: the 5‑DOF arm tracks orientation only
-softly, so latching the measured wrist orientation would inject its tracking offset into the
-command on every re‑clutch.
-
-## Controls
-
- **Squeeze / grip** — the **clutch** (deadman). Hold it past `clutch_threshold` to engage
-  teleoperation; release to pause. Each engage re‑captures the origin, so you can reposition
-  your hand while paused and re‑engage without the arm jumping (index/clutch style).
- **Trigger** — the **gripper**, controlled **analog**. The jaw tracks the trigger
-  proportionally — a half‑pressed trigger leaves the jaw half‑closed — via a closedness in
-  `[0, 1]` (0 = open, 1 = closed) that maps to an absolute gripper joint target.
- **Controller orientation** — the **wrist**. The clutch rebases the controller orientation
-  (engage‑relative, base‑frame) into a soft IK orientation target the wrist tracks alongside
-  position. On the 5‑DOF SO‑101 the wrist follows the hand only partially by design — see
-  `orientation_weight` below.
-
-## Get started
-
-### Step 1: Create the teleoperator
-
-```python
-# Run from the repo root so the `examples` package is importable.
-from examples.isaac_teleop_to_so101.isaac_teleop import XRController, XRControllerConfig
-
-teleop_config = XRControllerConfig(
-    hand_side="right",      # "left" or "right" controller
-    clutch_threshold=0.5,   # squeeze value above which the clutch engages
-)
-teleop_device = XRController(teleop_config)
-```
-
-`XRController.get_action()` returns the **raw** base‑frame controller pose, not a clutch‑rebased
-target: `grip_pos` (3,) `[x, y, z]` [m] and `grip_quat` (4,) `[qx, qy, qz, qw]` in the robot base
-frame, plus scalar `squeeze` and `trigger` analog values in `[0, 1]`. The example loop's `Clutch`
-turns these into the absolute `ee_pose`, and the squeeze is thresholded by the loop against
-`clutch_threshold` to engage.
-
-### Step 2: Connect
-
-Calling `teleop_device.connect()` first auto-launches the CloudXR runtime (unless you opted out —
-see [Set up CloudXR and connect a headset](#set-up-cloudxr-and-connect-a-headset); this blocks for
-~30s and on the first run prompts for the EULA on stdin), then starts the Isaac Teleop
-[`TeleopSession`](https://nvidia.github.io/IsaacTeleop/main/getting_started/teleop_session.html)
-(opens the OpenXR session and discovers the controllers). XR controllers are self‑calibrating, so
-there is no manual calibration step — the clutch handles re‑centering each time you engage. Pair
-`connect()` with a `try/finally` that calls `disconnect()` so the session tears down before the
-runtime on exit/Ctrl-C.
-
-### Step 3: Run the example
-
-The example assumes you configured your robot (SO‑101 follower) and set the correct serial port.
-
-The **robot URDF and its meshes are fetched automatically** on first run: the XR device downloads
-the SO-101 URDF from the
-[`lerobot/robot-urdfs` Hugging Face bucket](https://huggingface.co/buckets/lerobot/robot-urdfs/tree/so101)
-into the LeRobot cache (`HF_LEROBOT_HOME/robot-urdfs/so101/`) and reuses it after, so there is no
-separate download step :
-
-```bash
-python -m examples.isaac_teleop_to_so101.teleoperate --robot.type=so101_follower --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
-    --robot.id=so101_follower_arm --teleop.type=xr_controller
-```
-
-The CLI is `lerobot-teleoperate`-style (draccus): `--robot.*` configures the SO-101 follower and
-`--teleop.type` selects the Isaac input device (`xr_controller` | `so101_leader`), with
-`--teleop.*` its device knobs. `--teleop.type=xr_controller` runs the XR-controller path described
-above. The startup safety contract: by default it slews all joints to a default reset pose over
-`--reset_duration` seconds (`--reset_to_origin=false` keeps the arm where it is), then seeds the
-clutch home from the arm's measured pose so the first engage is jump-free; the follower is
-commanded only while the clutch is engaged.
-
-**Customizing the reset pose.** The reset pose ships as a built-in default (a comfortable mid-range
-pose) and works out of the box — you do **not** need to record anything. To tailor it to your setup,
-back-drive the arm to the pose you want and run
-`python -m examples.isaac_teleop_to_so101.override_reset_pose --id <robot.id>`; it writes the
-current joints to a per-arm file in the LeRobot cache
-(`HF_LEROBOT_HOME/reset_poses/<robot.name>/<robot.id>.json`, keyed like calibration), which then takes
-priority over the built-in default on the next run. Because it lives in the user-local cache (not
-the repo), your override stays on your machine, and both `teleoperate` and `record` honor it
-when launched with the same `--robot.id`.
-
-The other device, `--teleop.type=so101_leader`, mirrors the follower 1:1 from a back-drivable
-SO-101 _leader arm_ whose joints are streamed by Isaac Teleop's native `so101_leader` plugin (no
-clutch, no IK — the leader and follower share the SO-101 kinematics).
-
-The `so101_leader_plugin` binary is a C++ plugin that is **not** part of the `isaacteleop` pip
-package — you build it from the Isaac Teleop source tree. Follow
-[Build Isaac Teleop from source](https://nvidia.github.io/IsaacTeleop/main/getting_started/build_from_source/index.html)
-(in short, from your Isaac Teleop checkout: `cmake -B build && cmake --build build --parallel &&
-cmake --install build`); the build installs the plugins under `<IsaacTeleop>/install/plugins/`, so
-the binary lands at `install/plugins/so101_leader/so101_leader_plugin` — the `--launch_plugin` path
-below. See the plugin's own `README.md` (next to the binary) for its serial/calibration details.
-
-Point `--teleop.port` at the physical leader's serial port and `--launch_plugin` at that plugin
-binary to have the script spawn it after CloudXR is up:
-

-
-(Note `so101_leader` here is the _Isaac_ leader, resolved against the Isaac Teleop device
-registry, distinct from `lerobot-teleoperate`'s serial `so101_leader`.) When a `--teleop.port` is
-set, the plugin's tick→radian calibration is inferred from `--teleop.id` and passed to the plugin
-as its third positional arg — the LeRobot-format JSON at
-`HF_LEROBOT_CALIBRATION/teleoperators/so_leader/<id>.json`, the same file the serial SO-101 leader
-uses (`lerobot-calibrate --teleop.type=so101_leader --teleop.id=<id>`). If it is missing the script
-warns and the plugin uses built-in defaults. Run `python -m examples.isaac_teleop_to_so101.teleoperate --help` for all flags. Its
-startup safety contract: by default the follower is
-slewed to the leader's first reading over `--align_duration` seconds (`--align=false` to skip) so
-the arm does not snap when the mirror begins, and while the leader stream is stale the follower is
-held at its measured pose.
-
-The URDF fetch uses `huggingface_hub` (already a LeRobot dependency) against the public
-`lerobot/robot-urdfs` bucket, so it needs no login. It is cached under
-`HF_LEROBOT_HOME/robot-urdfs/so101/`; delete that folder to force a re‑download.
-
-Then, in your headset: squeeze and hold the grip to engage, move the controller to drive the
-arm, twist/tilt it to orient the wrist, and press the trigger to close the gripper
-(proportionally — release to open).
-
-To record a dataset (not just teleoperate), use `record.py` in the same folder. It dispatches on
-`--teleop.type` (`xr_controller` | `so101_leader`) exactly like `teleoperate.py`, so either device
-can drive the follower, and it saves the commanded joints to a LeRobot dataset (`lerobot-record`-style
-`--dataset.*` flags). See its module docstring for the full CLI and the keyboard recording shortcuts.
-
-## Important pipeline steps and options
-
-The clutch already produces an absolute base‑frame pose, so the processor side is a thin
-**absolute‑pose** path — there is no frame remap, no delta accumulation, and no
-`EEReferenceAndDelta` stage.
-
- `MapXRControllerActionToRobotAction` is a stateless per‑frame mapping from the device output to
-  the IK input contract. It writes the absolute base‑frame position, encodes the absolute
-  orientation as a rotvec target, and inverts the closedness into a motor gripper target:
-
-  ```python
-  action["ee.x"], action["ee.y"], action["ee.z"] = ee_pose[:3]   # absolute, base frame [m]
-  action["ee.wx"], action["ee.wy"], action["ee.wz"] = orient_rotvec  # orientation target (rotvec)
-  action["ee.gripper_pos"] = (1 - closedness) * 100   # motor units; SO-101 calibrates 100 = open
-  ```
-
-  The gripper polarity (`100 = open, 0 = closed`) is a hardware‑calibration convention in the source — flip it there if the jaw opens when it should close.
-
- `EEBoundsAndSafety` clamps the EE to a workspace and rate‑limits per‑frame jumps. The clutch's
-  no‑teleport keeps frames small, so `max_ee_step_m` mostly catches transient controller tracking
-  glitches. The z floor is `0.0` (the table plane) so a stray target cannot drive the EE below the
-  table; x/y stay at the loose `[-1, 1]` m box. Set `raise_on_jump=False` so an over‑limit frame is
-  **clamped and warned** instead of raising — a crash mid‑loop would leave the arm uncontrolled:
-
-  ```python
-  EEBoundsAndSafety(
-      end_effector_bounds={"min": [-1.0, -1.0, 0.0], "max": [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]},
-      max_ee_step_m=0.10,
-      raise_on_jump=False,
-  )
-  ```
-
- `InverseKinematicsEEToJoints(initial_guess_current_joints=False, orientation_weight=0.01)` solves
-  closed‑loop Placo IK. SO‑101 is a 5‑DOF arm, so the IK is position‑dominant; the small
-  `orientation_weight` lets it softly track the orientation target carried in `ee.w*` so the wrist
-  follows the hand, while the under‑determined roll stays partial by design. There is **no**
-  `GripperVelocityToJoint`: the absolute `ee.gripper_pos` is passed straight to `gripper.pos`.
-  `initial_guess_current_joints=False` warm‑starts each solve from the **previous IK solution**
-  rather than re‑seeding from the measured joints, so the joint trajectory stays continuous
-  frame‑to‑frame. Tune `orientation_weight` on hardware — too high fights position tracking, too
-  low ignores the orientation command.
-
-The example also gates safety at the loop level: after the startup reset slew (on by default —
-pass `--reset_to_origin=false` to keep the arm where it is), it commands the robot **only while
-the clutch is engaged**, and re‑sends the measured joints while disengaged, so releasing the
-clutch freezes the arm in place.
-
-See the [Processors for Robots and Teleoperators](./processors_robots_teleop) guide for more on
-adapting the pipeline to other robots.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
- **`ModuleNotFoundError: isaacteleop`** — the `isaacteleop` package is not installed in the
-  active environment. Re-run the install command at the top of this guide:
-  `uv pip install "isaacteleop[cloudxr,retargeters-lite]~=1.3.131"`.
- **No controllers found** — make sure the CloudXR runtime is running, the firewall ports are
-  whitelisted, and the headset is connected (see
-  [Set up CloudXR and connect a headset](#set-up-cloudxr-and-connect-a-headset) and the Isaac
-  Teleop [Quick Start](https://nvidia.github.io/IsaacTeleop/main/getting_started/quick_start.html)).
- **CloudXR auto-launch failed** — `connect()` raises a `RuntimeError` if the runtime does not
-  come up within its startup timeout. Check the launcher logs under `~/.cloudxr/logs`. Common
-  causes: the EULA was never accepted (run `python -m isaacteleop.cloudxr --accept-eula` once,
-  interactively — the auto-launch prompts on stdin and hangs headless), or the runtime is already
-  running externally (set `LEROBOT_CLOUDXR_SKIP_AUTOLAUNCH=1` or `auto_launch_cloudxr=False` to
-  skip the auto-launch).
- **Arm does not move** — the clutch is a deadman: you must hold the squeeze/grip past
-  `clutch_threshold`. Lower the threshold if your controller's squeeze is reported softly.
- **Motion feels misaligned** — confirm the headset/play space orientation. The controller stream
-  is rebased into the robot base frame by the `base_T_anchor` transform on `XRControllerConfig`
-  (default: standard OpenXR → robot axis convention); adjust it if your anchor frame differs.

-## Launching
+## Training with Multiple GPUs

-Distributed training can be launched through both `torchrun` and `accelerate launch`. Accelerate is used as a plain launcher: it does not manage the training configuration, and every distributed training setting lives in LeRobot's own config system.
+You can launch training in two ways:

-With `torchrun`:
+### Option 1: Without config (specify parameters directly)
+
+You can specify all parameters directly in the command without running `accelerate config`:

 ```bash
-torchrun --nproc-per-node=2 $(which lerobot-train) \

+  --multi_gpu \

@@ -32,145 +31,150 @@ torchrun --nproc-per-node=2 $(which lerobot-train) \

 ```

-With `accelerate launch` (as a plain launcher):
+**Key accelerate parameters:**
+
+- `--multi_gpu`: Enable multi-GPU training
+- `--num_processes=2`: Number of GPUs to use
+- `--mixed_precision=fp16`: Use fp16 mixed precision (or `bf16` if supported)
+
+### Option 2: Using accelerate config
+
+If you prefer to save your configuration, you can optionally configure accelerate for your hardware setup by running:

 ```bash
+accelerate config
+```
+
+This interactive setup will ask you questions about your training environment (number of GPUs, mixed precision settings, etc.) and saves the configuration for future use. For a simple multi-GPU setup on a single machine, you can use these recommended settings:
+
+- Compute environment: This machine
+- Number of machines: 1
+- Number of processes: (number of GPUs you want to use)
+- GPU ids to use: (leave empty to use all)
+- Mixed precision: fp16 or bf16 (recommended for faster training)
+
+Then launch training with:
+
+```bash
+accelerate launch $(which lerobot-train) \
+  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_dataset \
+  --policy.type=act \

+  --output_dir=outputs/train/act_multi_gpu \
+  --job_name=act_multi_gpu \
+  --wandb.enable=true
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+When you launch training with accelerate:
+
+1. **Automatic detection**: LeRobot automatically detects if it's running under accelerate
+2. **Data distribution**: Your batch is automatically split across GPUs
+3. **Gradient synchronization**: Gradients are synchronized across GPUs during backpropagation
+4. **Single process logging**: Only the main process logs to wandb and saves checkpoints
+
+## Learning Rate and Training Steps Scaling
+
+**Important:** LeRobot does **NOT** automatically scale learning rates or training steps based on the number of GPUs. This gives you full control over your training hyperparameters.
+
+### Why No Automatic Scaling?
+
+Many distributed training frameworks automatically scale the learning rate by the number of GPUs (e.g., `lr = base_lr × num_gpus`).
+However, LeRobot keeps the learning rate exactly as you specify it.
+
+### When and How to Scale
+
+If you want to scale your hyperparameters when using multiple GPUs, you should do it manually:
+
+**Learning Rate Scaling:**
+
+```bash
+# Example: 2 GPUs with linear LR scaling
+# Base LR: 1e-4, with 2 GPUs -> 2e-4
 accelerate launch --num_processes=2 $(which lerobot-train) \
-  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_dataset \
-  --policy.type=act \

-  --wandb.enable=true

-With no `--parallelism.*` flags, a multi-process launch runs plain DDP. Multi-node runs use the standard `torchrun --nnodes/--node-rank/--rdzv-endpoint` flags (or `accelerate launch --num_machines/--machine_rank/--main_process_ip`).
+**Training Steps Scaling:**

-> [!WARNING]
-> Accelerate's YAML config files (`accelerate launch --config_file some.yaml`, `accelerate config`) are not supported. They configure the engine through environment variables, bypassing LeRobot's configuration system, so `train_config.json` would no longer describe the settings a run actually used. `lerobot-train` therefore refuses to start when [accelerate environment variables](https://huggingface.co/docs/accelerate/usage_guides/fsdp) are set. Put the settings in `--parallelism.*` / `--accelerator.*` flags instead, or set `LEROBOT_ALLOW_ACCELERATE_ENV=1` to acknowledge the override and proceed anyway.
-
-## Batch semantics, learning rate, and steps
-
-Each of the `dp_replicate × dp_shard` data-parallel workers loads its own `--batch_size` micro-batch every step, so one training step consumes `batch_size × dp_world_size` samples, and `× gradient_accumulation_steps` of those go into each optimizer update:
-
-```
-effective_batch_size = batch_size × dp_world_size × gradient_accumulation_steps
-```
-
-The training banner prints this factorization at startup. `--steps` counts loop steps (micro-batches per worker), not optimizer updates.
-
-Gradient accumulation is a first-class flag:
+Since the effective batch size `bs` increases with multiple GPUs (batch_size × num_gpus), you may want to reduce the number of training steps proportionally:

 ```bash
-torchrun --nproc-per-node=2 $(which lerobot-train) \
-  --batch_size=8 --accelerator.gradient_accumulation.steps=4 ...
+# Example: 2 GPUs with effective batch size 2x larger
+# Original: batch_size=8, steps=100000
+# With 2 GPUs: batch_size=8 (16 in total), steps=50000
+accelerate launch --num_processes=2 $(which lerobot-train) \
+  --batch_size=8 \
+  --steps=50000 \
+  --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/pusht \
+  --policy.type=act
 ```

-**LeRobot does not auto-scale the learning rate or the number of steps** when the effective batch size grows. If you scale out and want equivalent training, please adjust manually, e.g. with 2 GPUs: double `--optimizer.lr` (linear scaling), or halve `--steps`.
+## Training Large Models with FSDP

-## Sharded training (FSDP)
+DDP replicates the full model on every GPU, so a model that doesn't fit on one GPU won't fit under
+DDP either. For large models, use **FSDP** (Fully Sharded Data Parallel), which shards parameters,
+gradients, and optimizer state across GPUs. See the [accelerate FSDP guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/accelerate/usage_guides/fsdp) for background.

-If a model is too large to train with DDP, shard it with FSDP2:
+An example on how to launch LeRobot training with FSDP across 4 GPUs (1 machine):

 ```bash
-torchrun --nproc-per-node=4 $(which lerobot-train) \
+accelerate launch --config_file fsdp.yaml --num_processes=4 $(which lerobot-train) \
  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_dataset \
  --policy.type=<your_policy> \
-  --parallelism.dp_shard=4 \
-  --accelerator.mixed_precision=bf16 \
  --output_dir=outputs/train/my_policy_fsdp
 ```

-`--parallelism.dp_shard=-1` shards over however many processes the launcher started.
+A minimal `fsdp.yaml` (FSDP1; shards params/grads/optimizer — ZeRO-3-equivalent):

-### Wrap units
-
-FSDP shards the model in units (typically the repeated transformer block) and gathers one unit at a time during forward/backward. Policies declare their wrap units via `_fsdp_wrap_modules` on the policy class. For example, ACT declares `["ACTEncoderLayer", "ACTDecoderLayer"]` and FastWAM declares `["MoTLayer"]`. For a policy without a `_fsdp_wrap_modules` declaration, pass one of the flags below. You can specify the module class name explicitly, or use a size-based policy instead:
-
-```bash
--accelerator.fsdp.wrap_modules='["MyTransformerBlock"]'   # explicit class names
--accelerator.fsdp.min_num_params=1000000                  # or: wrap every submodule above 1M params
+```yaml
+compute_environment: LOCAL_MACHINE
+distributed_type: FSDP
+mixed_precision: bf16
+num_machines: 1
+num_processes: 4
+fsdp_config:
+  fsdp_version: 1
+  fsdp_sharding_strategy: FULL_SHARD # params + grads + optimizer (ZeRO-3)
+  fsdp_auto_wrap_policy: TRANSFORMER_BASED_WRAP
+  fsdp_transformer_layer_cls_to_wrap: <YourTransformerBlock> # repeated block class to shard
+  fsdp_use_orig_params: true # required: optimizer is built pre-prepare
+  fsdp_state_dict_type: FULL_STATE_DICT
 ```

-If a policy doesn't declare `_fsdp_wrap_modules` and no `--accelerator.fsdp.wrap_modules` or `--accelerator.fsdp.min_num_params` is passed, the run fails at startup rather than silently wrapping only the root module (which would forfeit all sharding memory savings).
+Set `fsdp_transformer_layer_cls_to_wrap` to your model's repeated transformer-block class so each
+block is sharded as its own unit. `fsdp_use_orig_params: true` is required because LeRobot builds the
+optimizer before `accelerator.prepare()`.

-Other sharding settings:
+### FSDP checkpoints

- `--accelerator.fsdp.reshard_after_forward`: whether to keep each unit's parameters resident after forward.
- `--accelerator.fsdp.cpu_offload`: keeps parameters, gradients and optimizer states on CPU.
- `--accelerator.fsdp.ignored_modules`: a regex of module paths to keep unsharded.
+LeRobot gathers the full state dict across all ranks and the main process writes it as a single
+`model.safetensors`, loadable as usual with `Policy.from_pretrained(...)`. Two things to look out for:

-### HSDP
-
-Hybrid Sharded Data Parallel: parameters, gradients and optimizer states are sharded across `dp_shard` ranks, and that sharding is replicated `dp_replicate` times. Parameter all-gathers and gradient reduce-scatters stay inside a shard group; only the all-reduce that synchronizes the replicas crosses between groups. The two degrees must multiply to the world size:
-
-```bash
-# 16 GPUs = 2 nodes × 8: shard within each node, replicate across nodes
-torchrun --nnodes=2 --nproc-per-node=8 ... $(which lerobot-train) \
-  --parallelism.dp_replicate=2 --parallelism.dp_shard=8 ...
-```
-
-## Checkpoints
-
-Every checkpoint contains a `pretrained_model/` directory and a `training_state/` directory:
-
-```text
-005000/  # the training step at that checkpoint
-├── pretrained_model/
-│   ├── config.json  # policy config
-│   ├── train_config.json  # the full training config

-│   ├── policy_preprocessor_step_*.safetensors  # state of the stateful preprocessor steps
-│   ├── policy_postprocessor.json  # postprocessor config (when the run has a postprocessor)
-│   └── policy_postprocessor_step_*.safetensors  # state of the stateful postprocessor steps
-└── training_state/
-    ├── training_step.json  # step counter, topology, and batch semantics
-    ├── rng_state.safetensors  # rng states
-    ├── scheduler_state.json  # scheduler state (when the run has a scheduler)
-    ├── optimizer_state.safetensors  # full optimizer state (non-sharded runs)
-    ├── optimizer_param_groups.json  # optimizer param groups (non-sharded runs)
-    └── optimizer_0/  # DCP optimizer shards (sharded runs)
-```
-
-During single-GPU or DDP training, the pipeline serializes each state dict into a single file: `model.safetensors` for the model and `optimizer_state.safetensors` for the optimizer.
-
-During sharded training, the optimizer state is saved as DCP shards under `training_state/optimizer_0/`, and the layout of the model under `pretrained_model/` can be configured through `--checkpoint_format`:
-
-| `--checkpoint_format`     | Weights artifact                             | Use when                                                              |
-| ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `safetensors` _(default)_ | single `model.safetensors` only              | you want every checkpoint immediately loadable with `from_pretrained` |
-| `dcp`                     | `pytorch_model_fsdp_0/` shard directory only | gathering the full weights makes saves and resumes too slow           |
-| `safetensors_dcp`         | both                                         | you want fast resume _and_ immediately loadable checkpoints           |
-
-Two things to know about gathered (`safetensors`) checkpoints from sharded runs:
-
- **They store fp32 weights.** Under mixed precision training, FSDP keeps an fp32 master copy, and the checkpoint saves the master copy to make sure training resumes consistently.
- The gather is collective (all ranks participate) but only the main process writes.
-
-### Converting DCP checkpoints
-
-`lerobot-convert-dcp` merges a DCP shard directory into a regular `model.safetensors`, offline and without GPUs:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-convert-dcp --checkpoint_dir=outputs/train/run/checkpoints/005000
-lerobot-convert-dcp --checkpoint_dir=... --delete_dcp=true --push_to_hub=${HF_USER}/my_policy
-```
-
-`--push_to_hub` publishes the converted directory as a model repo.
-
-### Resuming
-
-Resume with `--resume=true --config_path=.../checkpoints/last/pretrained_model/train_config.json`. Resuming from a DCP checkpoint supports resharding the model and optimizer state to the _current_ topology, which means you can resume with a different `dp_replicate/dp_shard` split. The data sampler can always resume at the right epoch and offset, but is only _sample-exact_ when the world size and batch size match the original run (a warning is logged otherwise).
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> FSDP checkpoints written by LeRobot 0.6.x and earlier used a different on-disk layout (a gathered full optimizer state) and **cannot be resumed**.
+- **Checkpoints store fp32 weights.** Under mixed precision (`bf16`/`fp16`) FSDP keeps an fp32 master
+  copy, and the checkpoint saves it (~2× the bf16 size on disk) so training can resume consistently
+  with the fp32 optimizer state; `from_pretrained` casts back to the policy dtype on load. FSDP-specific
+  caveat: an fp32 checkpoint is materialized in full precision on the target device _before_ casting,
+  so loading it for inference on a tight GPU can OOM even when the bf16 model would fit — load on CPU
+  first, or cast `model.safetensors` to the deployment dtype offline.
+- The sharded optimizer state is gathered into a full (world-size-independent) state dict and saved
+  alongside the model in the same `optimizer_state.safetensors` / `optimizer_param_groups.json`
+  format as single-GPU training, so **resume-from-checkpoint is supported** with `--resume=true`.
+  Resume reshards both the model and the optimizer state to the _current_ FSDP topology, so you can
+  resume an FSDP checkpoint on a different number of GPUs. Note that the data sampler is only
+  sample-exact when the world size and batch size match the original run (a warning is logged
+  otherwise); the optimizer/model state itself is unaffected.

 ## Notes

- Checkpoint saves and end-of-training publishes are collective (every rank enters them). Gathered weights, sidecar files and Hub uploads are written by the main process alone.
- Metrics are reduced across ranks before logging: losses are averaged, and `samples/s` reports cluster-wide throughput.
- Learning-rate scheduling is stepped once per training step regardless of the number of processes (`step_scheduler_with_optimizer=False` is baked in).
+- The `--policy.use_amp` flag in `lerobot-train` is only used when **not** running with accelerate. When using accelerate, mixed precision is controlled by accelerate's configuration.
+- Training logs, checkpoints, and hub uploads are only done by the main process to avoid conflicts. Non-main processes have console logging disabled to prevent duplicate output.
+- The effective batch size is `batch_size × num_gpus`. If you use 4 GPUs with `--batch_size=8`, your effective batch size is 32.
+- Learning rate scheduling is handled correctly across multiple processes—LeRobot sets `step_scheduler_with_optimizer=False` to prevent accelerate from adjusting scheduler steps based on the number of processes.
+- When saving or pushing models, LeRobot automatically unwraps the model from accelerate's distributed wrapper to ensure compatibility.
+- WandB integration automatically initializes only on the main process, preventing multiple runs from being created.

-**Mean/std normalization, not π₀.₅'s [quantile default](#quantile-statistics)** — matching [pi05_libero_finetuned_v044](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/pi05_libero_finetuned_v044), the checkpoint the results below were measured on.
-
-**`--policy.n_action_steps=10` and `--policy.empty_cameras=1` are explicit** because `--policy.pretrained_path` loads weights only — `lerobot/pi05_libero_base` stores both, and they would otherwise fall back to `50` and `0` (see [Loading a checkpoint](#loading-a-checkpoint)).
-
-Then evaluate a checkpoint with `lerobot-eval` and compare against the reference success rates — see [LIBERO](./libero).
-
-### Quantile statistics
-
-π₀.₅ normalizes `STATE` and `ACTION` with quantiles, so your dataset's `meta/stats.json` needs `q01` and `q99`. Older datasets carry only `min`/`max`/`mean`/`std` and fail on the first batch:
-
-```
-ValueError: QUANTILES normalization mode requires q01 and q99 stats
-```
-
-Recompute them:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-edit-dataset \
-    --repo_id your_dataset \
-    --new_repo_id your_dataset \
-    --operation.type recompute_stats \
-    --operation.overwrite true
-```
-
-**The result lands in `$HF_LEROBOT_HOME/your_dataset`**, not the cache `--dataset.repo_id` reads — so train with `--dataset.root=$HF_LEROBOT_HOME/your_dataset`, or add `--push_to_hub true` above.
-
-Or keep the dataset as-is and pass `--policy.normalization_mapping='{"ACTION": "MEAN_STD", "STATE": "MEAN_STD", "VISUAL": "IDENTITY"}'`.
-
-Recording, resuming, and merging aggregate quantiles from per-episode summaries, so `meta/stats.json` ends up holding a conservative envelope (`min` for `q <= 50`, `max` for `q > 50`) rather than whole-dataset quantiles. To estimate the latter, scan every episode with a running histogram:
-
-```bash
-python src/lerobot/scripts/augment_dataset_quantile_stats.py \
-    --repo-id=your_dataset \
-    --overwrite \
-    --skip-images
-```
-
-`--skip-images` keeps the existing image statistics and avoids video decoding when only `STATE`/`ACTION` need recomputing, and `--root` reads a local dataset instead of the Hub. These values are histogram estimates, subject to discretization and rebinning error, so they can differ from the conservative ones — which changes π₀.₅'s normalized targets and therefore its loss scale. Statistics already saved inside an existing checkpoint are not affected.

-The reference implementation maintains an exponential moving average (EMA) of the policy weights during training and evaluates the EMA weights. To reproduce this behavior, enable the trainer's EMA shadow:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \
-  --policy.type=diffusion \
-  --ema.enable=true \
-  ...
-```
-
-Checkpoints then contain a directly loadable copy of the EMA weights next to the live ones, e.g. for evaluation:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-eval --policy.path=outputs/train/.../checkpoints/last/pretrained_model_ema ...
-```
-
-The EMA decay schedule (`--ema.inv_gamma`, `--ema.power`, ...) defaults to the reference implementation's values. For a constant decay instead of the warmup schedule (e.g. to match openpi's pi0/pi05 training), set `--ema.decay=0.99`.

-## EMA of the policy weights
-
-OpenPI maintains an exponential moving average of the weights during training (`ema_decay=0.99` by default) and keeps the EMA copy for inference. To reproduce this with the LeRobot trainer, enable the EMA shadow with a constant decay:
-
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.scripts.lerobot_train \
-  --policy.type=pi05 \
-  --dataset.repo_id=your_org/your_dataset \
-  --ema.enable=true \
-  --ema.decay=0.99
-```
-
-Checkpoints then contain a directly loadable copy of the EMA weights in `pretrained_model_ema/` next to the live ones. Note that the shadow is a full extra copy of the parameters on the GPU. Like OpenPI (which disables EMA in its LoRA configs), EMA is not supported together with PEFT adapters.

 ## Dataset feature contracts

 Dataset features are determined by the keys saved in the dataset. Each step can declare what features it modifies in a contract called `transform_features(...)`. Once you build a processor, the processor can then aggregate all of these features with `aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features()` and merge multiple feature dicts with `combine_feature_dicts(...)`.

-# Third-Party Robots & Teleoperators
-
-The LeRobot ecosystem extends far beyond its officially supported hardware. Thanks to LeRobot's plugin architecture, the community has built integrations for a wide range of robot arms and teleoperation devices — from industrial manipulators to affordable hobbyist platforms, VR headsets, haptic devices, and full arm-plus-teleoperator kits. This page showcases community-maintained integrations you can use for teleoperation, data collection, and policy deployment.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> These projects are developed and maintained by third parties. Please refer to each repository for installation instructions, hardware requirements, and support.
-
-Drop-in plugins are auto-discovered by package name: LeRobot imports any installed package prefixed with `lerobot_robot_` or `lerobot_teleoperator_`. Once installed, reference the `type` the plugin registers (see its README — it may differ from the package name) directly from any LeRobot command:
-
-```bash
-pip install lerobot_robot_<name> lerobot_teleoperator_<name>
-
-lerobot-record \
-    --robot.type=<robot_name> \
-    --teleop.type=<teleoperator_name> \
-    --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my-dataset \
-    --dataset.num_episodes=5
-```
-
-> [!TIP]
-> ⚠️ marks projects that are forks/extensions of LeRobot. They may require custom setup rather than working with an unmodified install. All other entries are drop-in plugins.

-# Third-Party Cameras & Sensors
-
-The LeRobot ecosystem extends far beyond its natively supported cameras (OpenCV, Intel RealSense, ZMQ, Reachy 2). Thanks to LeRobot's plugin architecture, the community has built drop-in camera and sensor integrations — from depth cameras to vision-based tactile sensors. This page showcases community-maintained camera and sensor integrations you can use for teleoperation, data collection, and policy deployment.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> These projects are developed and maintained by third parties. Please refer to each repository for installation instructions, hardware requirements, and support.
-
-Drop-in plugins are auto-discovered by package name: LeRobot imports any installed package prefixed with `lerobot_camera_`. Once installed, reference the camera `type` the plugin registers (see its README — it may differ from the package name) directly from any LeRobot command:
-
-```bash
-pip install lerobot_camera_<name>
-
-lerobot-record \
-    --robot.type=so101_follower \
-    --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
-    --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: <name>, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30} }" \

- `episode_tasks`: Mapping from episode index to task string.
- `task_replacements`: Mapping from existing task strings to their replacements, applied to episodes whose current task matches a key. Every key must be an existing task in the dataset.
-
-The modes can be combined in a single run. Per episode, the task is resolved with the following precedence:
-
-`episode_tasks` > `task_replacements` > `new_task` > original task

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

-# Writing docstrings
-
-LeRobot's API reference is generated directly from the docstrings in `src/lerobot/`. A docstring is not a
-comment — it is the published documentation for that object, and the format below is what the renderer and
-the CI checks parse.
-
-This page is the contract. If you are adding or editing anything public in `src/lerobot/`, follow it.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> **An undocumented public method is an invisible one.** `[[autodoc]]` silently skips members that have no
-> docstring — no warning, no error, it simply does not appear on the rendered page. Coverage and
-> API-reference completeness are the same problem.
-
-## The format in one example
-
-Google section headers, Hugging Face type formatting. Both, not one or the other.
-
-````python
-def send_action(self, action: RobotAction, rate_hz: float = 30.0) -> RobotAction:
-    """Command the robot to move to a target joint configuration.
-
-    Values are clipped by the configured maximum relative target before reaching the motors, so the
-    returned action may differ from the requested one.
-
-    Args:
-        action (`dict[str, float]`):
-            Target values keyed by motor name, e.g. `{"shoulder_pan.pos": 0.0}`. Keys must match the
-            robot's action features.
-        rate_hz (`float`, *optional*, defaults to `30.0`):
-            Control loop frequency.
-
-    Returns:
-        `dict[str, float]`: The action actually written to the motors after safety clipping.
-
-    Raises:
-        DeviceNotConnectedError: If the robot has not been connected.
-
-    Example:
-        ```python
-        >>> from lerobot.robots.so_follower import SO101Follower, SO101FollowerConfig
-        >>> robot = SO101Follower(SO101FollowerConfig(port="/dev/ttyACM0"))  # doctest: +SKIP
-        >>> robot.connect()  # doctest: +SKIP
-        >>> robot.send_action({"shoulder_pan.pos": 0.0})  # doctest: +SKIP
-        ```
-    """
-````
-
-Cross-references are omitted from the examples on this page — see [Cross-references](#cross-references) for
-their syntax and why they cannot be shown inside a code block.
-
-## Rules
-
-### Sections
-
-`Args:` · `Returns:` · `Raises:` · `Yields:` · `Example:` · `Note:`
-
-In that order. No other section headers. A one-line summary comes first, then an optional free-form
-description, then the sections.
-
-### The `Args:` line is machine-parsed
-
-```
-name (`type`, *optional*, defaults to `X`):
-    Description, indented on its own line.
-```
-
-The `*optional*, defaults to` clause is **checked against the real signature default** by
-`make check-docstrings`. It is not decorative — if you write a default that has drifted from the code, CI
-fails. Omit the clause entirely for required parameters:
-
-```python
-    Args:
-        port (`str`):
-            Serial port the arm is connected to, e.g. `/dev/ttyACM0`.
-        max_relative_target (`float | dict[str, float]`, *optional*):
-            Caps the magnitude of the relative positional target vector. `None` disables clipping.
-        use_degrees (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`):
-            Keep `True` for backward compatibility with existing policies and datasets.
-```
-
-Types go in backticks. Use `*optional*` with no `defaults to` when the default is `None` or is otherwise not
-worth restating.
-
-### `Returns:` is type-first
-
-One indented line, type first, then a colon, then the description:
-
-```python
-    Returns:
-        `dict[str, float]`: The action actually written to the motors after safety clipping.
-```
-
-`Yields:` takes the same shape.
-
-### `**Attributes**:`, never `Attributes:`
-
-doc-builder parses a bare `Attributes:` as a **synonym for `Parameters:`**, so your attributes get rendered
-as constructor arguments. This is silent and wrong. Whenever the attributes differ from the constructor
-parameters, use the bold form with a `--` separator:
-
-```python
-class Robot(abc.ABC):
-    """The base abstract class for all LeRobot-compatible robots.
-
-    **Attributes**:
-        - **config_class** (`type[RobotConfig]`) -- The expected configuration class for this robot.
-        - **name** (`str`) -- The unique robot name used to identify this robot type.
-    """
-```
-
-Note `--`, not `:`.
-
-### Cross-references
-
-Use doc-builder's bracket syntax: a square-bracketed backtick-quoted path. **Sphinx roles (`:pymeth:`,
-`:pyattr:`) are not supported** and render as literal text on the page.
-
-| Want                         | Write                               |
-| ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
-| Class in the main package    | &#91;`Robot`&#93;                   |
-| Method, show the full path   | &#91;`Robot.connect`&#93;           |
-| Method, show the bare name   | &#91;`~Robot.connect`&#93;          |
-| Nested path                  | &#91;`~robots.Robot.connect`&#93;   |
-| Object in another HF library | &#91;`~accelerate.Accelerator`&#93; |
-
-The `~` strips the path from the **link text only**; the link still resolves to the full path.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> doc-builder resolves this syntax everywhere in a page — including inside fenced code blocks. That is why
-> the docstring examples on this page use plain prose instead of cross-references: a code block containing
-> one would render the resolved link rather than the syntax you need to type. In your own docstrings, use
-> cross-references freely; this restriction only affects documentation _about_ the syntax.
-
-### Callouts
-
-Use GitHub-style blockquotes:
-
-```markdown
-> [!TIP]
-> Call this once at startup — it takes about two seconds.
-
-> [!WARNING]
-> Torque is disabled on disconnect. The arm will drop if it is holding a load.
-```
-
-The `<Tip>` component is legacy per doc-builder; don't add new ones.
-
-### Examples must be fenced
-
-An example lives inside a fenced ` ```python ` block containing `>>> `. The fence is what makes it render
-as a code block, and it is what the doctest preprocessor's regex looks for:
-
-````python
-    Example:
-        ```python
-        >>> from lerobot.robots.so_follower import SO101FollowerConfig
-        >>> cfg = SO101FollowerConfig(port="/dev/ttyACM0")
-        >>> cfg.use_degrees
-        True
-        ```
-````
-
-> [!WARNING]
-> An unfenced `>>>` is still collected — doctest finds prompts anywhere in a docstring. What you lose is the
-> rendering, so it shows up as a wall of prose on the page. Every example needs the fence.
-
-Every example either executes in CI or carries `# doctest: +SKIP`. Anything that touches hardware, a GPU, or
-downloads from the Hub gets `+SKIP`:
-
-````python
-    Example:
-        ```python
-        >>> robot.connect()  # doctest: +SKIP
-        >>> policy = ACTPolicy.from_pretrained("lerobot/act_aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human")  # doctest: +SKIP
-        ```
-````
-
-Add files containing runnable examples to `utils/documentation_tests.txt`.
-
-Put examples on the three to five genuine entry points of a module. Examples on trivial accessors are noise.
-
-## Three patterns you will hit constantly
-
-### Config dataclasses
-
-Configuration fields are historically documented with `#` comments above each field. **doc-builder cannot
-see inline comments** — such a class renders with every field listed and not a single description. Move them
-into an `Args:` block on the class docstring:
-
-```python
-@dataclass
-class SOFollowerConfig:
-    """Configuration for SO-family follower arms.
-
-    Args:
-        port (`str`):
-            Serial port the arm is connected to, e.g. `/dev/ttyACM0`.
-        max_relative_target (`float | dict[str, float]`, *optional*):
-            Caps the magnitude of the relative positional target vector. A scalar applies to all motors;
-            a dict maps motor name to a per-motor cap. `None` disables clipping.
-        use_degrees (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`):
-            Keep `True` for backward compatibility with existing policies and datasets.
-    """
-
-    port: str
-    max_relative_target: float | dict[str, float] | None = None
-    use_degrees: bool = True
-```
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> **doc-builder does not inherit docstrings from base classes.** LeRobot's registered config classes are
-> often thin multiple-inheritance shims:
->
-> ```python
-> @RobotConfig.register_subclass("so101_follower")
-> @dataclass
-> class SOFollowerRobotConfig(RobotConfig, SOFollowerConfig):
->     pass
-> ```
->
-> That class renders **every** field — including the ones it inherits — with no descriptions at all, no
-> matter how well the bases are documented. The `Args:` block must live on the concrete class that
-> `[[autodoc]]` names, and it must cover inherited fields too.
-
-### Base class, then concrete subclass
-
-The abstract base carries the canonical contract. Subclasses document only what deviates — port semantics,
-calibration quirks, motor layout, supported feature keys. Do not copy the base contract into every subclass.
-
-`Robot`, `Teleoperator`, `Camera`, `MotorsBus`, `ProcessorStep`, and `PreTrainedPolicy` all follow this
-shape.
-
-### Module-level aliases
-
-Several public names are aliases rather than distinct classes:
-
-```python
-SO100FollowerConfig = SOFollowerRobotConfig
-SO101FollowerConfig = SOFollowerRobotConfig
-```
-
-`[[autodoc]]` resolves the alias and renders the **canonical** class name, so a `## SO101FollowerConfig`
-heading will show `class lerobot.robots.so_follower.SOFollowerRobotConfig` in the body. Document the
-canonical class once, and mention the aliases in the page's prose rather than giving each alias its own
-autodoc block.
-
-## What not to document
-
- **Private members.** Anything starting with `_` is not part of the public API.
- **The type annotation restated as prose.** `port (`str`): A string.` adds nothing. Say what it is for.
- **Vendored upstream code.** `src/lerobot/policies/molmoact2/molmoact2_hf_model/` is vendored from
-  `transformers` and already carries upstream-style docstrings. Leave it alone — restyling it only creates
-  conflicts on the next sync. It is excluded from the API reference and from the docstring checks.
-
-## How this is enforced

-| Check                     | What it catches                                                                                            |

-| `make check-doctest-list` | Stale or unsorted entries in `utils/documentation_tests.txt`                                               |

-| `interrogate`             | Docstring coverage falling below the current threshold                                                     |
-| doc-builder               | A `[[autodoc]]` path that points at something that doesn't exist — this breaks the docs build              |
-
-Run them together before opening a PR:
-
-```bash
-make check-docstrings && make doctest && pre-commit run --all-files
-```
-
-Then render the page and actually look at it:
-
-```bash
-doc-builder build lerobot docs/source/ --build_dir /tmp/doc-build
-```

-## Checklist
-
- [ ] Every public member you touched has a docstring.
- [ ] Every `Args:` entry matches the signature, including the `*optional*, defaults to` clause.
- [ ] `Returns:` is type-first on one indented line.
- [ ] No bare `Attributes:` — use `**Attributes**:` with `--` separators.
- [ ] No Sphinx roles — cross-references use &#91;`~module.Class.method`&#93;.
- [ ] Examples are inside a fenced ` ```python ` block, and either run in CI or carry `# doctest: +SKIP`.
- [ ] Config dataclass fields are in an `Args:` block on the concrete class, not `#` comments.
- [ ] The rendered page has been eyeballed.

-# Isaac Teleop → SO-101
-
-Teleoperate an SO-101/SO-100 follower arm — and record LeRobot datasets — with NVIDIA
-[Isaac Teleop](https://github.com/NVIDIA/IsaacTeleop). Two input devices ship today:
-
- **XR (VR) controller** (`--teleop.type=xr_controller`) — the controller's grip pose drives the
-  end-effector through a squeeze-to-engage clutch and LeRobot's Cartesian IK pipeline; the analog
-  trigger drives the gripper.
- **SO-101 leader arm** (`--teleop.type=so101_leader`) — a back-drivable leader arm mirrored 1:1
-  onto the follower via Isaac Teleop's native `so101_leader` plugin (no clutch, no IK).
-
-The full narrative guide (how the clutch works, CloudXR setup, headset pairing, tuning, and
-troubleshooting) is in the [LeRobot docs](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/isaac_teleop)
-(source: `docs/source/isaac_teleop.mdx`). This README is the canonical install and usage
-reference.
-
-## Requirements
-
- Linux workstation (see NVIDIA's
-  [system requirements](https://nvidia.github.io/IsaacTeleop/main/references/requirements.html)
-  for supported OS/GPU/headset combinations; `isaacteleop` publishes Linux wheels only).
- An SO-101 (or SO-100) follower arm, calibrated with `lerobot-calibrate`.
- For the XR device: a CloudXR-capable headset (e.g. Quest 3, Pico 4, Apple Vision Pro) on the
-  same network.
- For the leader device: a second, back-drivable SO-101 leader arm and the `so101_leader` plugin
-  binary built from the Isaac Teleop source tree (see
-  [Build from source](https://nvidia.github.io/IsaacTeleop/main/getting_started/build_from_source/index.html)).
-
-## Installation
-
-This example lives in the LeRobot repository and is not part of the `lerobot` pip package, so
-work from a source checkout. From the repo root:
-
-```bash
-# LeRobot with the extras this example uses:
-#   feetech    - SO-101 serial motor bus
-#   kinematics - Placo IK solver (XR controller path)
-#   dataset    - dataset recording (record.py)
-# huggingface_hub >= 1.5 is needed by the automatic URDF fetch (Buckets API).
-uv pip install -e ".[feetech,kinematics,dataset]" "huggingface_hub>=1.5"
-
-# Isaac Teleop from public PyPI. `cloudxr` brings the CloudXR runtime bindings;
-# `retargeters-lite` is the scipy-based retargeter path that resolves on both
-# x86_64 and ARM (the full `retargeters` extra does not resolve on aarch64).
-uv pip install "isaacteleop[cloudxr,retargeters-lite]~=1.3.131" "scipy>=1.14"
-
-# Optional, x86_64 only: the full retargeter stack.
-uv pip install "isaacteleop[retargeters]~=1.3.131"
-```
-
-One-time CloudXR EULA (the auto-launch prompts on stdin and would hang on a headless machine):
-
-```bash
-python -m isaacteleop.cloudxr --accept-eula
-```
-
-## Usage
-
-Run everything from the repo root with `python -m` so the `examples` package resolves.
-
-### Teleoperate — XR controller
-
-```bash
-python -m examples.isaac_teleop_to_so101.teleoperate \
-    --robot.type=so101_follower \
-    --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
-    --robot.id=so101_follower_arm \
-    --teleop.type=xr_controller
-```
-
-On startup the script launches the CloudXR runtime (~30 s), prints the workstation IP to enter in
-the headset's CloudXR web client, waits for the controllers to stream, slews the arm to a reset
-pose (`--reset_to_origin=false` to skip), and then: **hold the squeeze/grip** to engage, move the
-controller to drive the arm, pull the trigger to close the gripper. Releasing the squeeze freezes
-the arm. The SO-101 URDF is fetched automatically from the `lerobot/robot-urdfs` Hugging Face
-bucket into the LeRobot cache on first run.
-
-To customize the reset pose: back-drive the arm to the pose you want, then
-
-```bash
-python -m examples.isaac_teleop_to_so101.override_reset_pose --port /dev/ttyACM0 --id so101_follower_arm
-```
-
-which writes it to `HF_LEROBOT_HOME/reset_poses/<robot.name>/<robot.id>.json`; runs with the same
-`--robot.id` use it automatically.
-
-### Teleoperate — SO-101 leader arm
-
-```bash
-python -m examples.isaac_teleop_to_so101.teleoperate \
-    --robot.type=so101_follower --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 --robot.id=so101_follower_arm \
-    --teleop.type=so101_leader --teleop.port=/dev/ttyACM1 --teleop.id=so101_leader_arm \
-    --launch_plugin=/path/to/IsaacTeleop/install/plugins/so101_leader/so101_leader_plugin
-```
-
-The follower is first slewed to the leader's pose over `--align_duration` seconds
-(`--align=false` to skip), then mirrors it 1:1. The plugin reuses the serial leader's calibration
-(`HF_LEROBOT_CALIBRATION/teleoperators/so_leader/<teleop.id>.json`).
-
-### Record a dataset
-
-`record.py` takes the same `--robot.*`/`--teleop.*`/loop flags plus `lerobot-record`-style
-`--dataset.*` flags:
-
-```bash
-python -m examples.isaac_teleop_to_so101.record \
-    --robot.type=so101_follower --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 --robot.id=so101_follower_arm \
-    --teleop.type=xr_controller \
-    --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
-    --dataset.repo_id=<hf_user>/<dataset_name> \
-    --dataset.single_task="Pick up the cube" \
-    --dataset.num_episodes=3 --dataset.episode_time_s=20 --dataset.reset_time_s=5
-```
-
-Keyboard shortcuts (terminal-first, so they work over SSH): **Right/n** end episode early,
-**Left/r** re-record, **Esc/q** stop after the current episode.
-
-Run either script with `--help` for all flags.
-
-## Layout
-
-```
-isaac_teleop/            device library: session lifecycle (base.py), XRController,
-                         SO101LeaderArm, Clutch, configs, and the XR→IK processor step
-common.py                shared loop infra: device bundles, clutch/IK pipeline wiring,
-                         reset/align slews, URDF fetch, keyboard listener
-teleoperate.py           teleoperation CLI (device selected via --teleop.type)
-record.py                dataset-recording CLI (same device selection + --dataset.*)
-override_reset_pose.py   save the current joints as the per-arm reset pose
-default.env              CloudXR device-profile overrides passed to the launcher

-Isaac Teleop is a multi-modal framework: a single ``TeleopSession`` can be driven by
-XR controllers, hand tracking, Manus gloves, etc. Each modality is a
-:class:`Teleoperator` subclass in its own ``teleop_<device>.py``.
-
-:class:`IsaacTeleopTeleoperator` owns what those devices share — the session

-
-``isaacteleop`` is an optional NVIDIA dependency (install instructions in the example's
-``README.md``); its imports are guarded behind an availability check at module top, so this
-module imports without it and constructing a device fails fast with install instructions.

-"""SO-101 leader-arm device for NVIDIA Isaac Teleop, exposed to LeRobot.
-
-The leader is a back-drivable SO-101 whose six joint angles are streamed (in radians) by
-the native ``so101_leader`` plugin; this device reads them via a ``JointStateSource`` and
-converts them into follower-ready ``{joint}.pos``. Same kinematics as the follower, so it
-needs no retargeting — a 1:1 joint mirror, direct joint drive.
-
-Units (converted in the device so the output is always follower-valid):
-
-* arm joints: ``rad2deg`` — correct only if the leader's calibrated zero and the follower's
-  homing map to the same physical zero (the standard same-hardware assumption).
-* gripper: normalized from ``[gripper_open_rad, gripper_close_rad]`` to RANGE_0_100.
-
-``isaacteleop`` imports are guarded behind the availability flag so this module — and the
-pure :func:`leader_joints_to_robot_action` converter — import without it (construction
-fails fast via the base class).
