+# Integration tests: build an isolated Docker image per benchmark and run a
+# 1-episode smoke eval. Each benchmark gets its own image so incompatible
+# dependency trees (e.g. hf-libero vs metaworld==3.0.0) can never collide.
+#
+# To add a new benchmark:
+#   1. Add docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.<name>  (install only lerobot[<name>])
+#   2. Copy one of the jobs below and adjust the image name and eval command.

+
+## Project Overview
+
+LeRobot is a PyTorch-based library for real-world robotics, providing datasets, pretrained policies, and tools for training, evaluation, data collection, and robot control. It integrates with Hugging Face Hub for model/dataset sharing.
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+Python 3.12+ · PyTorch · Hugging Face (datasets, Hub, accelerate) · draccus (config/CLI) · Gymnasium (envs) · uv (package management)
+
+## Development Setup
+
+```bash
+uv sync --locked                            # Base dependencies
+uv sync --locked --extra test --extra dev   # Test + dev tools
+uv sync --locked --extra all                # Everything
+git lfs install && git lfs pull             # Test artifacts
+```
+
+## Key Commands
+
+```bash
+uv run pytest tests -svv --maxfail=10                 # All tests
+DEVICE=cuda make test-end-to-end                      # All E2E tests
+pre-commit run --all-files                           # Lint + format (ruff, typos, bandit, etc.)
+```
+
+## Architecture (`src/lerobot/`)
+
+- **`scripts/`** — CLI entry points (`lerobot-train`, `lerobot-eval`, `lerobot-record`, etc.), mapped in `pyproject.toml [project.scripts]`.
+- **`configs/`** — Dataclass configs parsed by draccus. `train.py` has `TrainPipelineConfig` (top-level). `policies.py` has `PreTrainedConfig` base. Polymorphism via `draccus.ChoiceRegistry` with `@register_subclass("name")` decorators.
+- **`policies/`** — Each policy in its own subdir. All inherit `PreTrainedPolicy` (`nn.Module` + `HubMixin`) from `pretrained.py`. Factory with lazy imports in `factory.py`.
+- **`processor/`** — Data transformation pipeline. `ProcessorStep` base with registry. `DataProcessorPipeline` / `PolicyProcessorPipeline` chain steps.
+- **`datasets/`** — `LeRobotDataset` (episode-aware sampling + video decoding) and `LeRobotDatasetMetadata`.
+- **`envs/`** — `EnvConfig` base in `configs.py`, factory in `factory.py`. Each env subclass defines `gym_kwargs` and `create_envs()`.
+- **`robots/`, `motors/`, `cameras/`, `teleoperators/`** — Hardware abstraction layers.
+- **`types.py`** and **`configs/types.py`** — Core type aliases and feature type definitions.
+
+## Repository Structure (outside `src/`)
+
+- **`tests/`** — Pytest suite organized by module. Fixtures in `tests/fixtures/`, mocks in `tests/mocks/`. Hardware tests use skip decorators from `tests/utils.py`. E2E tests via `Makefile` write to `tests/outputs/`.
+- **`.github/workflows/`** — CI: `quality.yml` (pre-commit), `fast_tests.yml` (base deps, every PR), `full_tests.yml` (all extras + E2E + GPU, post-approval), `latest_deps_tests.yml` (daily lockfile upgrade), `security.yml` (TruffleHog), `release.yml` (PyPI publish on tags).
+- **`docs/source/`** — HF documentation (`.mdx` files). Per-policy READMEs, hardware guides, tutorials. Built separately via `docs-requirements.txt` and CI workflows.
+- **`examples/`** — End-user tutorials and scripts organized by use case (dataset creation, training, hardware setup).
+- **`docker/`** — Dockerfiles for user (`Dockerfile.user`) and CI (`Dockerfile.internal`).
+- **`benchmarks/`** — Performance benchmarking scripts.
+- **Root files**: `pyproject.toml` (single source of truth for deps, build, tool config), `Makefile` (E2E test targets), `uv.lock`, `CONTRIBUTING.md` & `README.md` (general information).
+
+## Notes
+
+- **Mypy is gradual**: strict only for `lerobot.envs`, `lerobot.configs`, `lerobot.optim`, `lerobot.model`, `lerobot.cameras`, `lerobot.motors`, `lerobot.transport`. Add type annotations when modifying these modules.
+- **Optional dependencies**: many policies, envs, and robots are behind extras (e.g., `lerobot[aloha]`). New imports for optional packages must be guarded or lazy. See `pyproject.toml [project.optional-dependencies]`.
+- **Video decoding**: datasets can store observations as video files. `LeRobotDataset` handles frame extraction, but tests need ffmpeg installed.
+- **Prioritize use of `uv run`** to execute Python commands (not raw `python` or `pip`).

+# LeRobot LIBERO Training Benchmark
+
+Train and evaluate all LeRobot policies on [LIBERO](https://libero-project.github.io/) and publish results as a HuggingFace leaderboard dataset.

+## Policies
+
+| Policy         | Base Model           | GPUs | LR     | Chunk | Notes                                 |
+| -------------- | -------------------- | ---- | ------ | ----- | ------------------------------------- |
+| pi0            | lerobot/pi0_base     | 8    | 2.5e-5 | 30    | PaliGemma + Gemma flow matching       |
+| pi0_fast       | lerobot/pi0fast-base | 8    | 2.5e-5 | 30    | Requires tokenizer pre-training       |
+| pi05           | lerobot/pi05_base    | 8    | 2.5e-5 | 30    | Quantiles normalization               |
+| groot          | nvidia/GR00T-N1.5-3B | 8    | 1e-4   | 30    | bf16, diffusion head + projector only |

+| diffusion      | From scratch         | 1    | 1e-4   | 32\*  | U-Net, horizon must be divisible by 8 |
+| smolvla        | lerobot/smolvla_base | 8    | 1e-4   | 30    | SmolVLM2-500M                         |

+| multi_task_dit | From scratch         | 1    | 2e-5   | 32\*  | CLIP + DiT                            |
+
+\* These policies use `horizon` rather than `chunk_size`. Set to 32 (nearest valid value to 30).
+
+## Training spec
+
+- **Steps**: 5,000 per policy
+- **Batch size**: 32 per GPU (effective BS = 256 for multi-GPU)
+- **Dataset**: `lerobot/libero` (libero_spatial)
+- **Evaluation**: 20 episodes after training
+- **LR**: each policy's default optimizer/scheduler preset
+- **Results**: each SLURM job publishes its own row to the HF leaderboard dataset automatically
+
+## Quick start
+
+### 1. Generate SLURM scripts
+
+```bash
+python benchmarks/libero/run_benchmark.py \
+    --output_dir /scratch/lerobot-benchmark \
+    --hub_org lerobot
+```
+
+### 2. Submit jobs
+
+```bash
+# If using pi0_fast, submit tokenizer first:
+sbatch /scratch/lerobot-benchmark/slurm_scripts/00_tokenizer.sh
+# Wait, then submit pi0_fast
+
+# All other policies can run in parallel:
+for script in /scratch/lerobot-benchmark/slurm_scripts/[0-9][0-9]_*.sh; do
+    [[ "$script" == *pi0_fast* ]] && continue
+    sbatch "$script"
+done
+```
+
+Each job publishes its result to `lerobot/benchmark-libero` on the Hub when it finishes.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- SLURM cluster with CUDA GPUs (A100 80GB recommended for VLM policies)
+- `pip install lerobot[pi,smolvla,groot,xvla,multi_task_dit,libero] datasets`
+- `huggingface-cli login`

+The base `lerobot` install is intentionally **lightweight** — it includes only core ML dependencies (PyTorch, torchvision, numpy, opencv, einops, draccus, huggingface-hub, gymnasium, safetensors). Heavier dependencies are gated behind optional extras so you only install what you need.

-This file contains lists of available environments, dataset and policies to reflect the current state of LeRobot library.
-We do not want to import all the dependencies, but instead we keep it lightweight to ensure fast access to these variables.
+LeRobot -- PyTorch library for real-world robotics.

-Example:
-    ```python
-        import lerobot
-        print(lerobot.available_envs)
-        print(lerobot.available_tasks_per_env)
-        print(lerobot.available_datasets)

-        print(lerobot.available_motors)
-    ```
+Provides datasets, pretrained policies, and tools for training, evaluation,
+data collection, and robot control. Integrates with Hugging Face Hub for
+model and dataset sharing.

-When implementing a new dataset loadable with LeRobotDataset follow these steps:
- Update `available_datasets_per_env` in `lerobot/__init__.py`
+The base install is intentionally lightweight. Feature-specific dependencies
+are gated behind optional extras::

-When implementing a new environment (e.g. `gym_aloha`), follow these steps:
- Update `available_tasks_per_env` and `available_datasets_per_env` in `lerobot/__init__.py`
-
-When implementing a new policy class (e.g. `DiffusionPolicy`) follow these steps:
- Update `available_policies` and `available_policies_per_env`, in `lerobot/__init__.py`
- Set the required `name` class attribute.
- Update variables in `tests/test_available.py` by importing your new Policy class
