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

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

-# 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:
-
-```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=/code/Teleop/install/plugins/so101_leader/so101_leader_plugin
-```
-
-(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.

-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.

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

+All variants use the same `mc_return`, `is_terminal`, 201-bin support, Dirac/HL-Gauss
+targets, metrics, and LeRobot training pipeline. Only the representation backbone changes.
+
+## Current RECAP Gemma3 baseline
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --reward_model.type=distributional_value_function \
+  --reward_model.target_method=dirac_delta \
+  --reward_model.device=cuda \
+  --dataset.repo_id=<dataset_repo_id> \
+  --output_dir=outputs/vf_recap_gemma3 \
+  --steps=40000 \
+  --batch_size=8
+```
+
+This initializes SigLIP2 and Gemma3-270M from unimodal checkpoints and creates a
+fresh Gemma3 multimodal connector.
+
+## Temporal SigLIP2
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --reward_model.type=temporal_siglip_value_function \
+  --reward_model.history_steps=6 \
+  --reward_model.frame_gap=30 \

+  --dataset.repo_id=<dataset_repo_id> \
+  --output_dir=outputs/vf_temporal_siglip2 \
+  --steps=40000 \
+  --batch_size=16
+```
+
+The dataset factory supplies six past-only frames for every observation key.
+The model requires `observation.state` and all configured camera streams.
+
+## nanoVLM-460M
+
+Run a frozen-backbone probe first:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --reward_model.type=nanovlm_value_function \
+  --reward_model.nanovlm_pretrained_path=lusxvr/nanoVLM-460M-8k \

+  --dataset.repo_id=<dataset_repo_id> \
+  --output_dir=outputs/vf_nanovlm_probe \
+  --steps=5000 \
+  --batch_size=1
+```
+
+The released checkpoint's native preprocessing resizes the long image side to
+2048 and creates 512px global/split views. A 480x640 camera therefore produces
+13 vision inputs and roughly 832 image placeholders; use batch size 1 initially
+for a three-camera setup.
+
+Then load the probe checkpoint and selectively fine-tune the projector/decoder
+at a lower learning rate.
+
+## Standalone Gemma3 VLM alignment
+
+The VLM trainer is intentionally separate from LeRobot:
+
+```bash
+cd third_party/nanoVLM
+
+# Projector warmup
+torchrun --standalone --nproc_per_node=4 train_recap_gemma3.py \
+  --output_dir=checkpoints/recap_vlm_warmup \

+
+# Full multimodal alignment
+torchrun --standalone --nproc_per_node=4 train_recap_gemma3.py \
+  --resume_from_checkpoint=checkpoints/recap_vlm_warmup/final \
+  --output_dir=checkpoints/recap_vlm_aligned \
+  --steps=50000
+```
+
+The output is a standard Hugging Face `Gemma3ForConditionalGeneration`
+checkpoint.
+
+## Aligned RECAP value function (run last)
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --reward_model.type=distributional_value_function \
+  --reward_model.vlm_pretrained_path=third_party/nanoVLM/checkpoints/recap_vlm_aligned/final \

+  --dataset.repo_id=<dataset_repo_id> \
+  --output_dir=outputs/vf_recap_aligned \
+  --steps=40000 \
+  --batch_size=8
+```
+
+## Small-batch verification
+
+Before each full run:
+
+```bash
+uv run python scripts/overfit_vf_variant.py \
+  --dataset_repo_id=<dataset_repo_id> \
+  --reward_type=<distributional_value_function|temporal_siglip_value_function|nanovlm_value_function> \
+  --num_samples=16 \
+  --steps=500
+```
+
+For `nanovlm_value_function`, start with `--num_samples=2` because all overfit
+samples are held in one batch and native image tiling is memory intensive.
+
+Compare runs using held-out episode NLL/MAE, per-episode return rank correlation,
+terminal success/failure separation, and the matched-versus-shuffled image loss gap.

-# 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,

-
-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
-lifecycle, the per-step staleness/worker-health guard, and the no-op calibration
-tracking devices need. A concrete device implements :meth:`_build_pipeline` (its
-retargeting graph) and :meth:`get_action` (usually via :meth:`_step`).
-
-``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.

-The leader is a back-drivable SO-101 whose six joint angles are streamed (in radians) by

-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

-(``xr_controller`` | ``so101_leader``), ``--robot.*`` the follower::

-    python -m examples.isaac_teleop_to_so101.teleoperate --robot.type=so101_follower \

-``--teleop.type`` resolves against the Isaac device registry (see :class:`IsaacTeleopConfig`),
-distinct from the serial ``so101_leader``. The pipelines, clutch/IK/align internals, and
-reset-pose behavior live in ``common.py``. Requires the ``isaacteleop`` package and an OpenXR
-runtime (install instructions in this folder's ``README.md``).

+- Do NOT invent, anticipate, or pad. If the robot only does one thing
+  (e.g. it just navigates to a location and the clip ends), emit
+  EXACTLY ONE subtask. Many demonstrations are a single atomic skill.
+- ``max_steps`` below is a hard CEILING, not a target. Emitting fewer
+  subtasks than the ceiling is not just allowed, it is expected for
+  short / atomic demonstrations. One correct subtask is far better

+- If the video does not clearly show the action implied by the task,

+  from the instruction text. The instruction tells you the goal; the

-Labels — short imperative phrases:
-- One concise command naming the action and the manipulated object, e.g.
-  "pick up the red cup", "put the cup on the shelf", "open the top
-  drawer", "pour water into the glass", "insert the plug into the
-  socket".
-- Include source, destination, side, direction, or the final
-  open/closed state when it is visible and central to the event.
-- Prefer these verbs (extend only when none fits): pick up, put, place,
-  push, pull, turn, press, open, close, pour, insert, wipe, stack.
-  Disambiguate by what you SEE:
-    * STACK vs PUT: object placed ON TOP OF another object -> "stack".
-    * INSERT vs PUT: object pushed INTO a fitted slot/hole/socket -> "insert".
-    * PICK UP vs PUT (direction): gripper CLOSES and object moves WITH
-      the hand -> "pick up"; gripper OPENS and object stays -> "put".
-    * POUR vs PUT: source is tilted and contents flow -> "pour".
-- Use the exact object nouns implied by the task; stay consistent across
-  the episode (don't switch "cube" to "block").
-- Write imperative commands, never third person ("the robot ..."), and
-  drop articles/adverbs.
+Authoring rules — Hi Robot atom granularity, pi0.7-style short prompts:
 
-Timing:
-- Use the burned-in timestamps to set start and end. Boundaries should
-  land on or near a printed time, and every [start, end] must lie within
-  [0.0, {episode_duration}] seconds, be non-overlapping, and cover the
-  episode in order.
-- Emit at most {max_steps} segments.
+- Each subtask = one COMPOSITE atomic skill the low-level policy can
+  execute end-to-end. A "skill" bundles its own approach motion with
+  its terminal action — do NOT split the approach off as its own
+  subtask. The whole-arm policy already learns to reach as part of
+  every manipulation primitive.
+- Write each subtask as an IMPERATIVE COMMAND, starting with one of
+  these verbs (extend only when none fits):
+    pick up <obj>           — approach + grasp + lift in one subtask
+    put <obj> on/in <loc>   — transport + release in one subtask
+    place <obj> on/in <loc> — synonym of "put"; pick one and stay consistent
+    push <obj>              — contact + linear shove
+    pull <obj>              — contact + linear retract
+    turn <knob/dial/handle> — rotary actuation
+    press <button>          — single-press contact
+    open <drawer/door/lid>  — full open motion
+    close <drawer/door/lid> — full close motion
+    pour <src> into <dst>   — tilt + flow
+    insert <obj> into <slot>— alignment + push-fit
+    go to <loc>             — ONLY when no grasp / actuation follows
+                             (e.g. a pure relocation between phases).
+                             If the next subtask grasps something at
+                             that location, drop "go to ..." and just
+                             write "pick up ..." instead.
+- Forbidden ultra-fine splits — the VLM is NOT allowed to emit these
+  as standalone subtasks; fold them into the parent composite:
+    "move to X"   → fold into "pick up X" (or whatever follows)
+    "reach for X" → fold into "pick up X"
+    "grasp X"     → fold into "pick up X"
+    "lift X"      → fold into "pick up X" (or "put X on Y" if it's
+                    the transport phase of a place)
+    "release X"   → fold into "put X on Y" (or "place X in Y")
+- Keep it SHORT — a verb phrase, not a sentence. Drop articles
+  ("the", "a") and adverbs ("carefully", "slowly"). Add a "how"
+  detail (which hand, which grasp point) ONLY when it is needed to
+  disambiguate. Every subtask must begin with one of the verbs
+  above (no leading nouns, no "then", no "first").
+- NEVER use third person. Never write "the robot", "the arm", "the
+  gripper moves", "it picks up" — the robot is implied. Command it,
+  do not describe it.
+- Use the exact object nouns from the task above. If the task says
+  "cube", every subtask says "cube" — never switch to "block". If it
+  says "box", never switch to "bin"/"container". Keep vocabulary
+  consistent across the whole episode.
+- Good: "pick up blue cube", "put blue cube in box", "open drawer",
+  "turn red knob", "press start button", "go to sink".
+- Bad: "move to blue cube" (approach as its own subtask — forbidden,
+  must be folded into "pick up blue cube"); "the robot arm moves
+  towards the blue cube" (third person, too long); "carefully pick
+  up the cube" (adverb, article); "release the yellow block"
+  ("block" when the task said "cube", and "release" must be folded
+  into a "put"/"place" subtask).
+- Subtasks are non-overlapping and cover the full episode in order.
+  Choose the cut points yourself based on what you see in the video
+  (gripper open/close events, contact, regrasps, transitions).
+- Each subtask spans at least {min_subtask_seconds} seconds. If a
+  candidate span would be shorter, merge it into its neighbour
+  rather than emitting it.
+- Do not exceed {max_steps} subtasks total. Fewer, larger composites
+  are preferred over many micro-steps.
+- Every subtask's [start_time, end_time] must lie within
+  [0.0, {episode_duration}] seconds.
+
+SPECIAL CASES — verb disambiguation (each rule is narrowly visual and
+fires ONLY on the spatial situation it names; it must not change how you
+label any other situation):
+- STACK vs PUT: if an object is placed ON TOP OF another specific object
+  (not on a flat table / shelf / counter), use "stack ... on ...", not
+  "put". "stack blue book on green book", NOT "put blue book on table".
+- INSERT vs PUT: if an object goes INTO a fitted slot / hole / socket /
+  receptacle (push-fit), use "insert ... into ...", not "put".
+- RETRIEVE/PICK-UP vs PUT (direction): watch the gripper. If it CLOSES
+  on the object and the object moves WITH the hand, it is "pick up" /
+  "retrieve" (object leaves its location). If the gripper OPENS and the
+  object stays where the hand left it, it is "put" / "place" (object
+  arrives at a location). Decide by which way the object moves, not by
+  where the hand ends up.
+- POUR vs PUT: only use "pour" when the source is tilted and contents
+  flow out; moving a full container without tilting is "put"/"place".

+    This model inherits from [`PreTrainedModel`]. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the

+    etc.)
+
+    This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
+    Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage

 Groot Policy Wrapper for LeRobot Integration

+Minimal integration that delegates to Isaac-GR00T components where possible
+without porting their code. The intent is to:
+
+- Download and load the pretrained GR00T model via GR00TN15.from_pretrained
+- Optionally align action horizon similar to gr00t_finetune.py
+- Expose predict_action via GR00T model.get_action
+- Provide a training forward that can call the GR00T model forward if batch
+  structure matches.
+
+Notes:
+- Dataset loading and full training orchestration is handled by Isaac-GR00T
+  TrainRunner in their codebase. If you want to invoke that flow end-to-end
+  from LeRobot, see `GrootPolicy.finetune_with_groot_runner` below.
