+# 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

+# RaC: Recovery and Correction Training
+
+RaC (Recovery and Correction) is a human-in-the-loop data collection and training paradigm that improves robot policy performance on long-horizon tasks by explicitly teaching recovery and correction behaviors.
+
+**Key References:**

+
+---
+
+## Why RaC? The Problem with Standard Data Collection
+
+### Standard Behavioral Cloning Data Collection Limitations
+
+Standard behavior cloning trains policies on successful demonstrations. This approach can be sensitive to distribution shift and compounding errors. Because during deployment small errors can cascade and push the robot into states never seen during training.
+This is where RaC and methods like Dagger and HG-DAgger come in.
+
+### Prior Human-in-the-Loop Methods
+
+**DAgger** (Dataset Aggregation) addresses distribution shift by:
+- Running the novice policy to collect states
+- Querying expert for correct actions at those states
+- Aggregating new labels into training set
+
+**HG-DAgger** (Human-Gated DAgger) improves on DAgger by:
+- Giving human full control authority during interventions
+- Human takes over when unsafe, provides correction, returns control
+- Better action labels because human has uninterrupted control
+
+### RaC
+
+RaC explicitly collects **recovery + correction** data:
+
+```
+BC/DAgger:   policy → mistake → human corrects → continue
+RaC:         policy → mistake → human RECOVERS (teleop back) → CORRECTS → END
+```
+
+The critical insight is **Rule 1 (Recover then Correct)**:
+- Every intervention starts with human teleoperating back to an in-distribution state
+- Then human provides correction to complete the current subtask
+- Both segments are recorded as training data
+- This teaches the policy: "when things go wrong, go back and retry"
+
+**Rule 2 (Terminate after Intervention)**:
+- Episode ends after correction completes
+- Avoids mixed policy/human data on later subtasks
+- Keeps data distribution clean
+
+---
+
+## Comparison Table
+
+| Method | Data Type | Recovery Behavior | Correction Behavior |
+|--------|-----------|-------------------|---------------------|
+| BC | Success only | ✗ | ✗ |
+| DAgger | Success + corrections | ✗ | ✓ |
+| HG-DAgger | Success + corrections | Sometimes | ✓ |
+| RaC | Success + recovery + correction | ✓ Explicit | ✓ |

+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step-by-Step Guide
+
+### Step 1: Pre-train a Base Policy
+
+First, train a policy on your demonstration dataset:
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/scripts/lerobot_train.py \
+    --dataset.repo_id=your-username/demo-dataset \
+    --policy.type=pi0 \
+    --output_dir=outputs/pretrain \
+    --batch_size=32 \
+    --steps=50000
+```
+
+### Step 2: Collect RaC Data
+
+Run the RaC data collection script with your pre-trained policy:
+
+```bash
+python examples/rac/rac_data_collection.py \
+    --robot.type=so100_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431541 \
+    --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
+    --teleop.type=so100_leader \
+    --teleop.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431551 \
+    --policy.path=outputs/pretrain/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model \
+    --dataset.repo_id=your-username/rac-dataset \
+    --dataset.single_task="Pick up the cube and place it in the bowl" \
+    --dataset.num_episodes=50
+```
+
+**Controls (Keyboard + Foot Pedal):**
+
+| Key / Pedal | Action |
+|-------------|--------|
+| **SPACE** / Right pedal | Pause policy (teleop mirrors robot, no recording) |
+| **c** / Left pedal | Take control (start correction, recording resumes) |
+| **→** / Right pedal | End episode (save) - when in correction mode |
+| **←** | Re-record episode |
+| **ESC** | Stop session and push to hub |
+| Any key/pedal during reset | Start next episode |
+
+**The RaC Protocol:**
+
+1. Watch the policy run autonomously (teleop is idle/free)
+2. When you see imminent failure, press **SPACE** or **right pedal** to pause
+   - Policy stops
+   - Teleoperator moves to match robot position (torque enabled)
+   - No frames recorded during pause
+3. Press **c** or **left pedal** to take control
+   - Teleoperator torque disabled, free to move
+   - **RECOVERY**: Teleoperate back to a good state
+   - **CORRECTION**: Complete the subtask
+   - All movements are recorded
+4. Press **→** or **right pedal** to save and end episode
+5. **RESET**: Teleop moves to robot position, you can move robot to starting position
+6. Press any key/pedal to start next episode
+
+The recovery and correction segments teach the policy how to recover from errors.
+
+**Foot Pedal Setup (Linux):**
+
+If using a USB foot pedal (PCsensor FootSwitch), ensure access:
+```bash
+sudo setfacl -m u:$USER:rw /dev/input/by-id/usb-PCsensor_FootSwitch-event-kbd
+```
+
+### Step 3: (Optional) Compute SARM Rewards
+
+For advantage-weighted training (RA-BC / Pi0.6-style), compute SARM progress values:
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/policies/sarm/compute_rabc_weights.py \
+    --dataset-repo-id your-username/rac-dataset \
+    --reward-model-path your-username/sarm-model \
+    --head-mode sparse \
+    --push-to-hub
+```
+
+### Step 4: Fine-tune Policy
+
+Fine-tune on the RaC data:
+
+```bash
+# Without RA-BC (standard fine-tuning)
+python src/lerobot/scripts/lerobot_train.py \
+    --dataset.repo_id=your-username/rac-dataset \
+    --policy.type=pi0 \
+    --policy.pretrained_path=outputs/pretrain/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model \
+    --output_dir=outputs/rac_finetune \
+    --steps=20000
+
+# With RA-BC (advantage-weighted, Pi0.6-style)
+python src/lerobot/scripts/lerobot_train.py \
+    --dataset.repo_id=your-username/rac-dataset \
+    --policy.type=pi0 \
+    --policy.pretrained_path=outputs/pretrain/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model \
+    --output_dir=outputs/rac_finetune_rabc \
+    --use_rabc=true \
+    --rabc_kappa=0.01 \
+    --steps=20000
+```
+
+---
+
+## Connection to Pi0.6 / RECAP
+
+Pi0.6's RECAP method shares similar principles:
+- Collect autonomous rollouts + expert interventions
+- Use value function to compute **advantages**: A(s,a) = V(s') - V(s)
+- **Advantage conditioning**: Weight training based on expected improvement
+
+In LeRobot, we can use **SARM** as the value function:
+- SARM progress φ(s) ∈ [0,1] measures task completion
+- Progress delta = φ(s') - φ(s) approximates advantage
+- RA-BC uses these to weight training samples (higher weight for good corrections)
+
+---
+
+## Tips for Effective RaC Collection
+
+### When to Intervene
+
+Intervene when you see:
+- Robot about to make an irreversible mistake
+- Robot hesitating or showing uncertain behavior
+- Robot deviating from expected trajectory
+
+### Recovery: Teleoperating Back to Good State
+
+During recovery, teleoperate the robot back to a state where:
+- The robot is in a familiar, in-distribution configuration
+- The current subtask can still be completed
+- The recovery trajectory itself is informative training data
+
+### Quality of Corrections
+
+During correction:
+- Provide **confident, clean** trajectories
+- Complete the current subtask fully
+- Don't overcorrect or add unnecessary movements
+
+---
+
+## Iterative Improvement
+
+RaC can be applied iteratively:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  Policy v0 (demos)                                                      │
+│       ↓                                                                 │
+│  RaC Collection (target current failure modes) → Policy v1              │
+│       ↓                                                                 │
+│  RaC Collection (target new failure modes) → Policy v2                  │
+│       ↓                                                                 │
+│  ... (repeat until satisfactory performance)                            │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+Each iteration:
+1. Deploy current policy
+2. Collect RaC interventions on failure cases
+3. Fine-tune on accumulated data

+Evaluates a trained policy with smooth action interpolation:
+- Decoupled camera capture (CAMERA_FPS) from robot control (ROBOT_FPS)
+- Speed multiplier to execute actions faster than training
+- Velocity feedforward for smoother tracking
+- Adjustable PID gains

+OpenArms Policy Evaluation with Real-Time Chunking (RTC)
+
+Evaluates a trained policy on the OpenArms robot using RTC for smooth, continuous motion.
+RTC enables large flow-matching policies (Pi0, Pi0.5, SmolVLA) to produce reactive motion
+despite high inference latency by asynchronously generating action chunks.
+
+Features:
+- Thread-based asynchronous action generation and execution
+- RTC for smooth transitions between action chunks
+- Dataset recording for evaluation episodes
+
+Example usage:
+    python examples/openarms/evaluate_with_rtc.py
+
+    # With custom RTC parameters
+    python examples/openarms/evaluate_with_rtc.py \
+        --rtc.execution_horizon=12 \
+        --rtc.max_guidance_weight=10.0

+OpenArms Policy Evaluation with RTC + Interpolation
+
+Combines Real-Time Chunking (RTC) with smooth action interpolation:
+- RTC for reactive motion despite high inference latency
+- Action interpolation for smooth robot movements
+- Speed multiplier to execute faster than training
+- Velocity feedforward and PID tuning
+- Decoupled inference (async) from robot control
+
+Example usage:
+    python examples/openarms/evaluate_with_rtc_interpolation.py
+
+    # With custom RTC parameters
+    python examples/openarms/evaluate_with_rtc_interpolation.py \
+        --rtc.execution_horizon=12 \

+# OpenArms Web Recording Interface
+
+A web interface for recording OpenArms datasets.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+cd examples/openarms_web_interface
+npm install
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+**Start everything with one command:**
+
+```bash
+./launch.sh
+```
+
+This will:
+- Start the FastAPI backend on port 8000
+- Start the React frontend on port 5173
+- Show live logs from both services
+
+Then open your browser to: **http://localhost:5173**
+
+**Stop with:** `Ctrl+C`
+
+---
+
+## Workflow
+
+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!)
+
+---

+RaC (Recovery and Correction) Data Collection with Policy Rollout + Human Intervention.
+
+This implements the RaC paradigm from "RaC: Robot Learning for Long-Horizon Tasks
+by Scaling Recovery and Correction" (Hu et al., 2025) for LeRobot.
+
+RaC improves upon standard data collection (BC) and prior human-in-the-loop methods
+(DAgger, HG-DAgger) by explicitly collecting recovery and correction behaviors:
+
+The workflow:
+1. Policy runs autonomously
+2. Press SPACE to pause - robot holds position
+3. Press 'c' to take control - human provides RECOVERY + CORRECTION
+4. Press → to end episode (save and continue to next)
+5. Reset, then do next rollout
+
+Key RaC Rules:
+- Rule 1 (Recover then Correct): Every intervention = recovery + correction (both human)
+- Rule 2 (Terminate after Intervention): Episode ends after correction
+
+The recovery segment (teleoperating back to good state) is recorded as training data -
+this teaches the policy how to recover from errors.
+
+Keyboard Controls:
+    SPACE  - Pause policy (robot holds position, no recording)
+    c      - Take control (start correction, recording resumes)
+    →      - End episode (save and continue to next)
+    ←      - Re-record episode
+    ESC    - Stop recording and push dataset to hub
+
+Usage:
+    python examples/rac/rac_data_collection.py \
+        --robot.type=so100_follower \
+        --robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431541 \

+"""
+RaC (Recovery and Correction) Data Collection for OpenArms Robot.
+
+This implements the RaC paradigm from "RaC: Robot Learning for Long-Horizon Tasks
+by Scaling Recovery and Correction" (Hu et al., 2025) for LeRobot with OpenArms.
+
+RaC improves upon standard data collection (BC) and prior human-in-the-loop methods
+(DAgger, HG-DAgger) by explicitly collecting recovery and correction behaviors:
+
+The workflow:
+1. Policy runs autonomously (teleop is idle/free)
+2. Press SPACE to pause - teleop moves to match robot position
+3. Press 'c' to take control - teleop is free, human provides RECOVERY + CORRECTION
+4. Press → to end episode (save and continue to next)
+5. Reset, then do next rollout
+
+Key RaC Rules:
+- Rule 1 (Recover then Correct): Every intervention = recovery + correction (both human)
+- Rule 2 (Terminate after Intervention): Episode ends after correction
+
+The recovery segment (teleoperating back to good state) is recorded as training data -
+this teaches the policy how to recover from errors.
+
+Keyboard Controls:
+    SPACE  - Pause policy (teleop mirrors robot, no recording)
+    c      - Take control (teleop free, recording correction)
+    →      - End episode (save and continue to next)
+    ←      - Re-record episode
+    ESC    - Stop recording and push dataset to hub
+

+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall
+  community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of
+  any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address,
+  without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official email address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
+hi_public@reazon.jp.
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series of
+actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent
+ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the
+community.

+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of

+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,

+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.
