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

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

-# OpenArms Robot
-
-OpenArms is a 7 DOF robotic arm with a gripper, designed by [Enactic, Inc.](https://www.enactic.com/) It uses Damiao motors controlled via CAN bus communication and MIT control mode for smooth, precise motion.
-
-## Hardware Overview
-
-- **7 DOF per arm** (14 DOF total for dual arm setup)
-- **1 gripper per arm** (2 grippers total)
-- **Damiao motors** with 4 different types:
-  - **DM8009** (DM-J8009P-2EC) for shoulders (J1, J2) - high torque
-  - **DM4340** for shoulder rotation and elbow (J3, J4)
-  - **DM4310** (DM-J4310-2EC V1.1) for wrist (J5, J6, J7) and gripper (J8)
-- **24V power supply** required
-- **CAN interface device**:
-  - **Linux**: Any SocketCAN-compatible adapter
-  - **macOS**: CANable, PEAK PCAN-USB, or Kvaser USBcan
-- Proper CAN wiring (CANH, CANL, 120Ω termination)
-
-
-## Motor Configuration
-
-Each arm has the following motor configuration based on the [OpenArm setup guide](https://docs.openarm.dev/software/setup/):
-
-| Joint | Motor | Motor Type | Sender CAN ID | Receiver ID | Description |
-|-------|-------|------------|---------------|-------------|-------------|
-| J1 | joint_1 | DM8009 | 0x01 | 0x11 | Shoulder pan |
-| J2 | joint_2 | DM8009 | 0x02 | 0x12 | Shoulder lift |
-| J3 | joint_3 | DM4340 | 0x03 | 0x13 | Shoulder rotation |
-| J4 | joint_4 | DM4340 | 0x04 | 0x14 | Elbow flex |
-| J5 | joint_5 | DM4310 | 0x05 | 0x15 | Wrist roll |
-| J6 | joint_6 | DM4310 | 0x06 | 0x16 | Wrist pitch |
-| J7 | joint_7 | DM4310 | 0x07 | 0x17 | Wrist rotation |
-| J8 | gripper | DM4310 | 0x08 | 0x18 | Gripper |
-
-For dual arm setups, the left arm uses IDs 0x09-0x10 for joints 1-8 with the same motor types.
-
-## Quick Start 
-
-```bash
-# Install system dependencies
-sudo apt install can-utils iproute2
-
-# Install LeRobot with OpenArms support
-pip install -e ".[openarms]"
-```
-
-## Setup Guide
-
-### Step 1: Motor ID Configuration
-
-**IMPORTANT**: Before using the robot, motors must be configured with the correct CAN IDs.
-
-Refer to the [OpenArm Motor ID Configuration Guide](https://docs.openarm.dev/software/setup/motor-id) for detailed instructions using the Damiao Debugging Tools on Windows.
-
-Key points:
-- Each motor needs a unique **Sender CAN ID** (0x01-0x08)
-- Each motor needs a unique **Receiver/Master ID** (0x11-0x18)
-- Use the Damiao Debugging Tools to set these IDs
-
-### Step 2: Setup CAN Interface
-
-Configure your CAN interface as described in the [OpenArm CAN Setup Guide](https://docs.openarm.dev/software/setup/can-setup):
-
-#### Linux (SocketCAN)
-
-```bash
-# Find your CAN interface
-ip link show
-
-# Configure can0, 1, 2, 3
-sudo ip link set can0 down
-sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 1000000
-sudo ip link set can0 up
-
-sudo ip link set can1 down
-sudo ip link set can1 type can bitrate 1000000
-sudo ip link set can1 up
-
-sudo ip link set can2 down
-sudo ip link set can2 type can bitrate 1000000
-sudo ip link set can2 up
-
-sudo ip link set can3 down
-sudo ip link set can3 type can bitrate 1000000
-sudo ip link set can3 up
-
-# Verify configuration
-ip link show can0
-```
-
-or run:
-
-`examples/openarms/setup_can.sh`
-
-### Testing canbus and motor connection
-
-Please run this script to check if all motors can be found and to find your can-fd speed: `python examples/openarms/debug_can_communication.py`
-
-## Usage
-
-### Basic Setup
-
-
-```python
-from lerobot.robots.openarms import OpenArmsFollower
-from lerobot.robots.openarms.config_openarms_follower import OpenArmsFollowerConfig
-
-# Configure for dual arm setup
-config = OpenArmsFollowerConfig(
-    port="can0",
-    can_interface="socketcan",  # Or "auto" for auto-detection
-    id="openarms_dual",
-    is_dual_arm=True,
-)
-
-robot = OpenArmsFollower(config)
-robot.connect()
-```
-
-### Calibration
-
-On first use, you'll need to calibrate the robot:
-
-```python
-robot.calibrate()
-```
-
-The calibration process will:
-1. Disable torque on all motors
-2. Ask you to position arms in **hanging position with grippers closed**
-3. Set this as the zero position
-4. Ask you to move each joint through its full range
-5. Record min/max positions for each joint
-6. Save calibration to file
-
-### Reading Observations
-
-The robot provides comprehensive state information:
-
-```python
-observation = robot.get_observation()
-
-# Observation includes for each motor:
-# - {motor_name}.pos: Position in degrees
-# - {motor_name}.vel: Velocity in degrees/second  
-# - {motor_name}.torque: Motor torque
-# - {camera_name}: Camera images (if configured)
-
-print(f"Right arm joint 1 position: {observation['right_joint_1.pos']:.1f}°")
-print(f"Right arm joint 1 velocity: {observation['right_joint_1.vel']:.1f}°/s")
-print(f"Right arm joint 1 torque: {observation['right_joint_1.torque']:.3f} N·m")
-```
-
-### Sending Actions
-
-```python
-# Send target positions (in degrees)
-action = {
-    "right_joint_1.pos": 45.0,
-    "right_joint_2.pos": -30.0,
-    # ... all joints
-    "right_gripper.pos": 45.0,  # Half-closed
-}
-
-actual_action = robot.send_action(action)
-```
-
-### Gripper Control
-
-```python
-# Open gripper
-robot.open_gripper(arm="right")
-
-# Close gripper  
-robot.close_gripper(arm="right")
-```
-
-## Safety Features
-
-### 1. Maximum Relative Target
-
-Limits how far a joint can move in a single command to prevent sudden movements:
-
-```python
-config = OpenArmsFollowerConfig(
-    port="can0",
-    # Limit all joints to 10 degrees per command
-    max_relative_target=10.0,
-    
-    # Or set per-motor limits
-    max_relative_target={
-        "right_joint_1": 15.0,  # Slower moving joint
-        "right_joint_2": 10.0,
-        "right_gripper": 5.0,   # Very slow gripper
-    }
-)
-```
-
-**How it works**: If current position is 50° and you command 80°, with `max_relative_target=10.0`, the robot will only move to 60° in that step.
-
-### 2. Torque Limits
-
-Control maximum torque output, especially important for grippers and teleoperation:
-
-```python
-config = OpenArmsFollowerConfig(
-    port="can0",
-    # Gripper torque limit (fraction of motor's max torque)
-    gripper_torque_limit=0.5,  # 50% of max torque
-)
-```
-
-Lower torque limits prevent damage when gripping delicate objects.
-
-### 3. MIT Control Gains
-
-Control responsiveness and stability via PID-like gains:
-
-```python
-config = OpenArmsFollowerConfig(
-    port="can0",
-    position_kp=10.0,  # Position gain (higher = more responsive)
-    position_kd=0.5,   # Velocity damping (higher = more damped)
-)
-```
-
-**Guidelines**:
-- **For following (robot)**: Higher gains for responsiveness
-  - `position_kp=10.0`, `position_kd=0.5`
-- **For teleoperation (leader)**: Lower gains or disable torque for manual movement
-  - `manual_control=True` (torque disabled)
-
-### 4. Velocity Limits
-
-Velocity limits are enforced by the Damiao motors based on motor type. For DM4310:
-- Max velocity: 30 rad/s ≈ 1718°/s
-
-The motors will automatically limit velocity to safe values.
-
-## Teleoperation
-
-### Leader Arm Setup
-
-The leader arm is moved manually (torque disabled) to generate commands:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.teleoperators.openarms import OpenArmsLeader
-from lerobot.teleoperators.openarms.config_openarms_leader import OpenArmsLeaderConfig
-
-config = OpenArmsLeaderConfig(
-    port="can1",  # Separate CAN interface for leader
-    id="openarms_leader",
-    manual_control=True,  # Torque disabled for manual movement
-    is_dual_arm=True,
-)
-
-leader = OpenArmsLeader(config)
-leader.connect()
-
-# Read current position as action
-action = leader.get_action()
-# action contains positions for all joints in degrees
-```
-
-### Safety Considerations for Teleoperation
-
-1. **Use separate CAN interfaces** for leader and follower to avoid conflicts
-2. **Enable max_relative_target** on follower to smooth abrupt movements
-3. **Lower torque limits** on follower to prevent damage from tracking errors
-4. **Test with one arm** before enabling dual arm teleoperation
-5. **Have emergency stop** ready (power switch or CAN disable)
-
-```python
-# Recommended follower config for teleoperation
-follower_config = OpenArmsFollowerConfig(
-    port="can0",
-    max_relative_target=5.0,  # Small steps for smooth following
-    gripper_torque_limit=0.3, # Low torque for safety
-    position_kp=5.0,  # Lower gains for gentler following
-    position_kd=0.3,
-)
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Motor Shaking/Unstable
-
-- **Lower control gains**: Reduce `position_kp` and `position_kd`
-- **Check calibration**: Re-run calibration procedure
-- **Verify power**: Insufficient current can cause instability
-- **Check mechanical**: Loose connections, binding, or damaged components
-
-### CAN Bus Errors
-
-```bash
-# Check for errors
-ip -s link show can0
-
-# Reset CAN interface
-sudo ip link set can0 down
-sudo ip link set can0 up
-```
-
-### Control Mode
-
-OpenArms uses **MIT control mode** which allows simultaneous control of:
-- Position (degrees)
-- Velocity (degrees/second)
-- Torque (N·m)
-- Position gain (Kp)
-- Velocity damping (Kd)
-
-### Communication
-
-- **Protocol**: CAN 2.0 at 1 Mbps (or CAN-FD at 5 Mbps)
-- **Frame format**: Standard 11-bit IDs
-- **Update rate**: Typically 50-100 Hz depending on motor count
-- **Latency**: ~10-20ms per motor command

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

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

-
-The OpenArms Mini has:
-- Right arm: 8 motors (joint_1 to joint_7 + gripper)
-- Left arm: 8 motors (joint_1 to joint_7 + gripper)
-
-Note on gripper normalization:
-- OpenArms Mini gripper: 0-100 scale (0=closed, 100=open)
-- OpenArms follower gripper: degrees (0=closed, -65=open)
-- This script automatically converts between the two ranges

-1. **Configure CAN interfaces** and **camera paths** in the dropdowns
-2. Click **"Setup Robots"** to initialize (once at start)
-3. Enter a **task description**
-4. Click **"Start Recording"** to begin an episode
-5. Click **"Stop Recording"** when done
-6. Dataset is automatically encoded and uploaded to HuggingFace Hub as **private**
-7. Repeat steps 3-6 for more episodes (no need to re-setup robots!)

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

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

+# LeRobot Embedding Generation Script
+
+Generate embeddings for LeRobot datasets to make them more lightweight and efficient for training.
+
+## Overview
+
+This script processes v3.0 LeRobot datasets and adds pre-computed embeddings for:
+
+- **Task embeddings**: Language command embeddings using MiniLM
+- **Image embeddings**: Frame embeddings using DinoV2
+
+The resulting dataset can be used more efficiently during training by loading pre-computed embeddings instead of running encoders on-the-fly.
+
+## Supported Encoders
+
+### Image Encoders (DinoV2)
+
+DinoV2 is a self-supervised vision transformer that produces high-quality image embeddings:
+
+- **`dinov2_vits14`**: ViT-S/14 (384-dim) - Fastest, smaller model
+- **`dinov2_vitb14`**: ViT-B/14 (768-dim) - **Recommended** - Good balance
+- **`dinov2_vitl14`**: ViT-L/14 (1024-dim) - Best quality, slower
+
+### Language Encoders (MiniLM)
+
+MiniLM is a lightweight sentence transformer model:
+
+- **`minilm-l6`**: MiniLM-L6-v2 (384-dim) - Faster
+- **`minilm-l12`**: MiniLM-L12-v2 (384-dim) - **Recommended** - Better quality
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Command
+

+
+### Lightweight Version (No Videos)
+
+Removes video files to significantly reduce storage:
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/datasets/generating_embeddings/generate_embeddings.py \
+    --repo-id lerobot/utokyo_xarm_bimanual \
+    --output-repo-id your-username/utokyo_xarm_bimanual_lightweight \
+    --image-encoder dinov2_vitb14 \
+    --language-encoder minilm-l12 \
+    --remove-videos \
+    --push-to-hub
+```
+
+## Output
+
+The script adds new features to your dataset:
+
+### New Features
+
+1. **`task_embedding`**: Language embedding for each frame
+   - Shape: `[384]` (MiniLM)
+   - One embedding per frame based on its task
+
+2. **`{camera_key}_embedding`**: Image embedding for each camera view
+   - Shape: `[384]`, `[768]`, or `[1024]` depending on DinoV2 model
+   - Examples: `observation.images.top_embedding`, `observation.images.wrist_embedding`
+
+### Using Embeddings in Training
+
+```python
+from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
+
+# Load dataset with embeddings
+dataset = LeRobotDataset("your-username/utokyo_xarm_bimanual_embeddings")
+
+# Access embeddings
+item = dataset[0]
+task_emb = item["task_embedding"]  # Shape: [384]
+img_emb = item["observation.images.top_embedding"]  # Shape: [768]
+
+# Use in your policy
+# Instead of running encoders during training, use pre-computed embeddings
+```
+
+## Extending with New Encoders
+
+The script is designed to be easily extensible. To add a new encoder:
+
+### 1. Create Encoder Class
+
+```python
+class MyCustomImageEncoder(ImageEncoder):
+    """Your custom image encoder."""
+
+    def __init__(self, device: str = "cuda"):
+        super().__init__(device)
+        # Load your model
+        self.model = load_my_model()
+        self.model = self.model.to(self.device)
+        self.model.eval()
+
+    def encode(self, images: list[np.ndarray]) -> np.ndarray:
+        """Encode a batch of images."""
+        # Your encoding logic here
+        embeddings = []
+        for img in images:
+            emb = self.model(img)
+            embeddings.append(emb)
+        return np.array(embeddings)
+
+    @property
+    def embedding_dim(self) -> int:
+        """Return embedding dimension."""
+        return 512  # Your embedding dimension
+```
+
+### 2. Add to Factory Function
+
+```python
+def get_image_encoder(encoder_name: str, device: str = "cuda") -> ImageEncoder:
+    encoders = {
+        "dinov2_vits14": lambda: DinoV2Encoder(model_name="dinov2_vits14", device=device),
+        "dinov2_vitb14": lambda: DinoV2Encoder(model_name="dinov2_vitb14", device=device),
+        "dinov2_vitl14": lambda: DinoV2Encoder(model_name="dinov2_vitl14", device=device),
+        # Add your encoder
+        "my_custom": lambda: MyCustomImageEncoder(device=device),
+    }
+    # ... rest of function
+```
+
+## Validating Embeddings
+
+After generating embeddings, you can validate them using `validate_embeddings.py`:
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/datasets/generating_embeddings/validate_embeddings.py \
+    --original-repo-id lerobot/utokyo_xarm_bimanual \
+    --embeddings-repo-id pepijn223/utokyo_xarm_bimanual_embeddings \
+    --image-encoder dinov2_vitb14 \
+    --language-encoder minilm-l12 \
+    --num-samples 20
+```

+Generate embeddings for LeRobot datasets to make them more lightweight and efficient.
+
+This script:
+1. Loads a v3.0 LeRobot dataset from the hub
+2. Computes embeddings for tasks (language commands) and frames (images)
+3. Stores embeddings as new features in the dataset
+4. Optionally removes video files to reduce size
+5. Pushes the converted dataset to the hub
+
+Current supported encoders:
+- Image: DinoV2 (dinov2_vits14, dinov2_vitb14, dinov2_vitl14)
+- Language: MiniLM (minilm-l6, minilm-l12)
+
+The architecture is extensible - you can add more encoders by:
+1. Creating a new encoder class inheriting from ImageEncoder or LanguageEncoder
+2. Implementing the encode() method and embedding_dim property
+3. Adding it to the get_image_encoder() or get_language_encoder() factory function
+
+Usage example:
+    python src/lerobot/datasets/generating_embeddings/generate_embeddings.py \
+        --repo-id lerobot/utokyo_xarm_bimanual \
+        --output-repo-id lerobot/utokyo_xarm_bimanual_embeddings \

+# Real-Time Chunking (RTC)
+
+This module contains the LeRobot implementation of **Real-Time Chunking (RTC)**, an inference-time technique for flow-matching based policies.
+
+**Note**: RTC is not a policy itself, but rather an inference enhancement that works with flow-matching based policies including [π₀](../pi0/), [π₀.₅](../pi05/), and [SmolVLA](../smolvla/).
