 ### The `LeRobotDataset` format
 
 A dataset in `LeRobotDataset` format is very simple to use. It can be loaded from a repository on the Hugging Face hub or a local folder simply with e.g. `dataset = LeRobotDataset("lerobot/aloha_static_coffee")` and can be indexed into like any Hugging Face and PyTorch dataset. For instance `dataset[0]` will retrieve a single temporal frame from the dataset containing observation(s) and an action as PyTorch tensors ready to be fed to a model.
 
-A specificity of `LeRobotDataset` is that, rather than retrieving a single frame by its index, we can retrieve several frames based on their temporal relationship with the indexed frame, by setting `delta_timestamps` to a list of relative times with respect to the indexed frame. For example, with `delta_timestamps = {"observation.image": [-1, -0.5, -0.2, 0]}` one can retrieve, for a given index, 4 frames: 3 "previous" frames 1 second, 0.5 seconds, and 0.2 seconds before the indexed frame, and the indexed frame itself (corresponding to the 0 entry). See example [1_load_lerobot_dataset.py](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/dataset/load_lerobot_dataset.py) for more details on `delta_timestamps`.

 Under the hood, the `LeRobotDataset` format makes use of several ways to serialize data which can be useful to understand if you plan to work more closely with this format. We tried to make a flexible yet simple dataset format that would cover most type of features and specificities present in reinforcement learning and robotics, in simulation and in real-world, with a focus on cameras and robot states but easily extended to other types of sensory inputs as long as they can be represented by a tensor.
 
 Here are the important details and internal structure organization of a typical `LeRobotDataset` instantiated with `dataset = LeRobotDataset("lerobot/aloha_static_coffee")`. The exact features will change from dataset to dataset but not the main aspects:

+### Evaluate a pretrained policy
+
+Check out [example 2](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/2_evaluate_pretrained_policy.py) that illustrates how to download a pretrained policy from Hugging Face hub, and run an evaluation on its corresponding environment.
+
+We also provide a more capable script to parallelize the evaluation over multiple environments during the same rollout. Here is an example with a pretrained model hosted on [lerobot/diffusion_pusht](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/diffusion_pusht):
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+    --policy.path=lerobot/diffusion_pusht \

+    --eval.batch_size=10 \
+    --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+    --policy.use_amp=false \
+    --policy.device=cuda
+````
+
+Note: After training your own policy, you can re-evaluate the checkpoints with:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval --policy.path={OUTPUT_DIR}/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
+```
+
+See `lerobot-eval --help` for more instructions.
+
+### Train your own policy
+
+Check out [example 3](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/3_train_policy.py) that illustrates how to train a model using our core library in python, and [example 4](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/4_train_policy_with_script.md) that shows how to use our training script from command line.
+
+To use wandb for logging training and evaluation curves, make sure you've run `wandb login` as a one-time setup step. Then, when running the training command above, enable WandB in the configuration by adding `--wandb.enable=true`.
+
+A link to the wandb logs for the run will also show up in yellow in your terminal. Here is an example of what they look like in your browser. Please also check [here](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/4_train_policy_with_script.md#typical-logs-and-metrics) for the explanation of some commonly used metrics in logs.

+\<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huggingface/lerobot/main/media/wandb.png" alt="WandB logs example"\>
+
+Note: For efficiency, during training every checkpoint is evaluated on a low number of episodes. You may use `--eval.n_episodes=500` to evaluate on more episodes than the default. Or, after training, you may want to re-evaluate your best checkpoints on more episodes or change the evaluation settings. See `lerobot-eval --help` for more instructions.

-## Policy Normalization Migration (PR #1452)
-
-**Breaking Change**: LeRobot policies no longer have built-in normalization layers embedded in their weights. Normalization is now handled by external `PolicyProcessorPipeline` components.

-### What changed?
-
-|                            | Before PR #1452                                  | After PR #1452                                               |

-| **Model State Dict**       | Contains normalization statistics                | **Clean weights only** - no normalization parameters         |
-| **Usage**                  | `policy(batch)` handles everything               | `preprocessor(batch)` → `policy(...)` → `postprocessor(...)` |
-
-### Impact on existing models
-
-- Models trained **before** PR #1452 have normalization embedded in their weights
-- These models need migration to work with the new `PolicyProcessorPipeline` system
-- The migration extracts normalization statistics and creates separate processor pipelines
-
-### Migrating old models
-
-Use the migration script to convert models with embedded normalization:
-
-```shell
-python src/lerobot/processor/migrate_policy_normalization.py \
-    --pretrained-path lerobot/act_aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human \
-    --push-to-hub \
-    --branch migrated
-```
-
-The script:
-
-1. **Extracts** normalization statistics from model weights
-2. **Creates** external preprocessor and postprocessor pipelines
-3. **Removes** normalization layers from model weights
-4. **Saves** clean model + processor pipelines
-5. **Pushes** to Hub with automatic PR creation
-
-### Using migrated models
-
-```python
-# New usage pattern (after migration)
-from lerobot.policies.factory import make_policy, make_pre_post_processors
-
-# Load model and processors separately
-policy = make_policy(config, ds_meta=dataset.meta)
-preprocessor, postprocessor = make_pre_post_processors(
-    policy_cfg=config,
-    dataset_stats=dataset.meta.stats
-)
-
-# Process data through pipeline
-processed_batch = preprocessor(raw_batch)
-action = policy.select_action(processed_batch)
-final_action = postprocessor(action)

-# Debug Your Processor Pipeline
-
-Processor pipelines can be complex, especially when chaining multiple transformation steps.
-Unlike simple function calls, pipelines lack natural observability, you can't easily see what happens
-between each step or where things go wrong.
-This guide provides debugging tools and techniques specifically designed to address these challenges
-and help you understand data flow through your pipelines.
-
-We'll explore three complementary debugging approaches: **hooks** for runtime monitoring, **step-through debugging** for detailed inspection, and **feature validation** for catching structural mismatches. Each serves a different purpose and together they provide complete visibility into your pipeline's behavior.
-
-## Understanding Hooks
-
-Hooks are functions that get called at specific points during pipeline execution.
-They provide a way to inspect, monitor, or modify data without changing your pipeline code.
-Think of them as "event listeners" for your pipeline.
-
-### What is a Hook?
-
-A hook is a callback function that gets automatically invoked at specific moments during pipeline execution.
-The concept comes from event-driven programming, imagine you could "hook into" the pipeline's execution flow to observe or react to what's happening.
-
-Think of hooks like inserting checkpoints into your pipeline. Every time the pipeline reaches one of these checkpoints, it pauses briefly to call your hook function, giving you a chance to inspect the current state, log information, and validate data.
-
-A hook is simply a function that accepts two parameters:
-
-- `step_idx: int` - The index of the current processing step (0, 1, 2, etc.)
-- `transition: EnvTransition` - The data transition at that point in the pipeline
-
-The beauty of hooks is their non-invasive nature: you can add monitoring, validation, or debugging logic without changing a single line of your pipeline code. The pipeline remains clean and focused on its core logic, while hooks handle the cross-cutting concerns like logging, monitoring, and debugging.
-
-### Before vs After Hooks
-
-The pipeline supports two types of hooks:
-
-- **Before hooks** (`register_before_step_hook`) - Called before each step executes
-- **After hooks** (`register_after_step_hook`) - Called after each step completes
-
-```python
-def before_hook(step_idx: int, transition: EnvTransition):
-    """Called before step processes the transition."""
-    print(f"About to execute step {step_idx}")
-    # Useful for: logging, validation, setup
-
-def after_hook(step_idx: int, transition: EnvTransition):
-    """Called after step has processed the transition."""
-    print(f"Completed step {step_idx}")
-    # Useful for: monitoring results, cleanup, debugging
-
-processor.register_before_step_hook(before_hook)
-processor.register_after_step_hook(after_hook)
-```
-
-### Implementing a NaN Detection Hook
-
-Here's a practical example of a hook that detects NaN values:
-
-```python
-def check_nans(step_idx: int, transition: EnvTransition):
-    """Check for NaN values in observations."""
-    obs = transition.get(TransitionKey.OBSERVATION)
-    if obs:
-        for key, value in obs.items():
-            if isinstance(value, torch.Tensor) and torch.isnan(value).any():
-                print(f"NaN detected in {key} at step {step_idx}")
-
-# Register the hook to run after each step
-processor.register_after_step_hook(check_nans)
-
-# Process your data - the hook will be called automatically
-output = processor(input_data)
-
-# Remove the hook when done debugging
-processor.unregister_after_step_hook(check_nans)
-```
-
-### How Hooks Work Internally
-
-Understanding the internal mechanism helps you use hooks more effectively. The pipeline maintains two separate lists: one for before-step hooks and another for after-step hooks. When you register a hook, it's simply appended to the appropriate list.
-
-During execution, the pipeline follows a strict sequence: for each processing step, it first calls all before-hooks in registration order, then executes the actual step transformation, and finally calls all after-hooks in registration order. This creates a predictable, sandwich-like structure around each step.
-
-The key insight is that hooks don't change the core pipeline logic—they're purely additive. The pipeline's `_forward` method orchestrates this dance between hooks and processing steps, ensuring that your debugging or monitoring code runs at exactly the right moments without interfering with the main data flow.
-
-Here's a simplified view of how the pipeline executes hooks:
-
-```python
-class DataProcessorPipeline:
-    def __init__(self):
-        self.steps = [...]
-        self.before_step_hooks = []  # List of before hooks
-        self.after_step_hooks = []   # List of after hooks
-
-    def _forward(self, transition):
-        """Internal method that processes the transition through all steps."""
-        for step_idx, processor_step in enumerate(self.steps):
-            # 1. Call all BEFORE hooks
-            for hook in self.before_step_hooks:
-                hook(step_idx, transition)
-
-            # 2. Execute the actual processing step
-            transition = processor_step(transition)
-
-            # 3. Call all AFTER hooks
-            for hook in self.after_step_hooks:
-                hook(step_idx, transition)
-
-        return transition
-
-    def register_before_step_hook(self, hook_fn):
-        self.before_step_hooks.append(hook_fn)
-
-    def register_after_step_hook(self, hook_fn):
-        self.after_step_hooks.append(hook_fn)
-```
-
-### Execution Flow
-
-The execution flow looks like this:
-
-```
-Input → Before Hook → Step 0 → After Hook → Before Hook → Step 1 → After Hook → ... → Output
-```
-
-For example, with 3 steps and both hook types:
-
-```python
-def timing_before(step_idx, transition):
-    print(f"⏱️  Starting step {step_idx}")
-
-def validation_after(step_idx, transition):
-    print(f"✅ Completed step {step_idx}")
-
-processor.register_before_step_hook(timing_before)
-processor.register_after_step_hook(validation_after)
-
-# This will output:
-# ⏱️  Starting step 0
-# ✅ Completed step 0
-# ⏱️  Starting step 1
-# ✅ Completed step 1
-# ⏱️  Starting step 2
-# ✅ Completed step 2
-```
-
-### Multiple Hooks
-
-You can register multiple hooks of the same type - they execute in the order registered:
-
-```python
-def log_shapes(step_idx: int, transition: EnvTransition):
-    obs = transition.get(TransitionKey.OBSERVATION)
-    if obs:
-        print(f"Step {step_idx} observation shapes:")
-        for key, value in obs.items():
-            if isinstance(value, torch.Tensor):
-                print(f"  {key}: {value.shape}")
-
-processor.register_after_step_hook(check_nans)      # Executes first
-processor.register_after_step_hook(log_shapes)     # Executes second
-
-# Both hooks will be called after each step in registration order
-output = processor(input_data)
-```
-
-While hooks are excellent for monitoring specific issues (like NaN detection) or gathering metrics during normal pipeline execution, sometimes you need to dive deeper. When you want to understand exactly what happens at each step or debug complex transformation logic, step-through debugging provides the detailed inspection you need.
-
-## Step-Through Debugging
-
-Step-through debugging is like having a slow-motion replay for your pipeline. Instead of watching your data get transformed in one quick blur from input to output, you can pause and examine what happens after each individual step.
-
-This approach is particularly valuable when you're trying to understand a complex pipeline, debug unexpected behavior, or verify that each transformation is working as expected. Unlike hooks, which are great for automated monitoring, step-through debugging gives you manual, interactive control over the inspection process.
-
-The `step_through()` method is a generator that yields the transition state after each processing step, allowing you to inspect intermediate results. Think of it as creating a series of snapshots of your data as it flows through the pipeline—each snapshot shows you exactly what your data looks like after one more transformation has been applied.
-
-### How Step-Through Works
-
-The `step_through()` method fundamentally changes how the pipeline executes. Instead of running all steps in sequence and only returning the final result, it transforms the pipeline into an iterator that yields intermediate results.
-
-Here's what happens internally: the method starts by converting your input data into the pipeline's internal transition format, then yields this initial state. Next, it applies the first processing step and yields the result. Then it applies the second step to that result and yields again, and so on. Each `yield` gives you a complete snapshot of the transition at that point.
-
-This generator pattern is powerful because it's lazy—the pipeline only computes the next step when you ask for it. This means you can stop at any point, inspect the current state thoroughly, and decide whether to continue. You're not forced to run the entire pipeline just to debug one problematic step.
-
-Instead of running the entire pipeline and only seeing the final result, `step_through()` pauses after each step and gives you the intermediate transition:
-
-```python
-# This creates a generator that yields intermediate states
-for i, intermediate_result in enumerate(processor.step_through(input_data)):
-    print(f"=== After step {i} ===")
-
-    # Inspect the observation at this stage
-    obs = intermediate_result.get(TransitionKey.OBSERVATION)
-    if obs:
-        for key, value in obs.items():
-            if isinstance(value, torch.Tensor):
-                print(f"{key}: shape={value.shape}, dtype={value.dtype}")
-```
-
-### Interactive Debugging with Breakpoints
-
-You can add breakpoints in the step-through loop to interactively debug:
-
-```python
-# Step through the pipeline with debugging
-for i, intermediate in enumerate(processor.step_through(data)):
-    print(f"Step {i}: {processor.steps[i].__class__.__name__}")
-
-    # Set a breakpoint to inspect the current state
-    breakpoint()  # Debugger will pause here
-
-    # You can now inspect 'intermediate' in the debugger:
-    # - Check tensor shapes and values
-    # - Verify expected transformations
-    # - Look for unexpected changes
-```
-
-During the debugger session, you can:
-
-- Examine `intermediate[TransitionKey.OBSERVATION]` to see observation data
-- Check `intermediate[TransitionKey.ACTION]` for action transformations
-- Inspect any part of the transition to understand what each step does
-
-Step-through debugging is perfect for understanding the _data_ transformations, but what about the _structure_ of that data? While hooks and step-through help you debug runtime behavior, you also need to ensure your pipeline produces data in the format expected by downstream components. This is where feature contract validation comes in.
-
-## Validating Feature Contracts
-
-Feature contracts define what data structure your pipeline expects as input and produces as output.
-Validating these contracts helps catch mismatches early.
-
-### Understanding Feature Contracts
-
-Each processor step has a `transform_features()` method that describes how it changes the data structure:
-
-```python
-# Get the expected output features from your pipeline
-initial_features = {
-    PipelineFeatureType.OBSERVATION: {
-        "observation.state": PolicyFeature(type=FeatureType.STATE, shape=(7,)),
-        "observation.image": PolicyFeature(type=FeatureType.IMAGE, shape=(3, 224, 224))
-    },
-    PipelineFeatureType.ACTION: {
-        "action": PolicyFeature(type=FeatureType.ACTION, shape=(4,))
-    }
-}
-
-# Check what your pipeline will output
-output_features = processor.transform_features(initial_features)
-
-print("Input features:")
-for feature_type, features in initial_features.items():
-    print(f"  {feature_type}:")
-    for key, feature in features.items():
-        print(f"    {key}: {feature.type.value}, shape={feature.shape}")
-
-print("\nOutput features:")
-for feature_type, features in output_features.items():
-    print(f"  {feature_type}:")
-    for key, feature in features.items():
-        print(f"    {key}: {feature.type.value}, shape={feature.shape}")
-```
-
-### Verifying Expected Features
-
-Check that your pipeline produces the features you expect:
-
-```python
-# Define what features you expect the pipeline to produce
-expected_keys = ["observation.state", "observation.image", "action"]
-
-print("Validating feature contract...")
-for expected_key in expected_keys:
-    found = False
-    for feature_type, features in output_features.items():
-        if expected_key in features:
-            feature = features[expected_key]
-            print(f"✅ {expected_key}: {feature.type.value}, shape={feature.shape}")
-            found = True
-            break
-
-    if not found:
-        print(f"❌ Missing expected feature: {expected_key}")
-```
-
-This validation helps ensure your pipeline will work correctly with downstream components that expect specific data structures.
-
-## Summary
-
-Now that you understand the three debugging approaches, you can tackle any pipeline issue systematically:
-
-1. **Hooks** - For runtime monitoring and validation without modifying pipeline code
-2. **Step-through** - For inspecting intermediate states and understanding transformations
-3. **Feature validation** - For ensuring data structure contracts are met
-
-**When to use each approach:**
-
-- Start with **step-through debugging** when you need to understand what your pipeline does or when something unexpected happens
-- Add **hooks** for continuous monitoring during development and production to catch issues automatically
-- Use **feature validation** before deployment to ensure your pipeline works with downstream components
-
-These three tools work together to give you the complete observability that complex pipelines naturally lack. With hooks watching for issues, step-through helping you understand behavior, and feature validation ensuring compatibility, you'll be able to debug any pipeline confidently and efficiently.

-### Processor Pipeline Architecture
-
-HIL-SERL uses a modular processor pipeline architecture that processes robot observations and actions through a series of composable steps. The pipeline is divided into two main components:
-
-#### Environment Processor Pipeline
-
-The environment processor (`env_processor`) handles incoming observations and environment state:
-
-1. **VanillaObservationProcessorStep**: Converts raw robot observations into standardized format
-2. **JointVelocityProcessorStep** (optional): Adds joint velocity information to observations
-3. **MotorCurrentProcessorStep** (optional): Adds motor current readings to observations
-4. **ForwardKinematicsJointsToEE** (optional): Computes end-effector pose from joint positions
-5. **ImageCropResizeProcessorStep** (optional): Crops and resizes camera images
-6. **TimeLimitProcessorStep** (optional): Enforces episode time limits
-7. **GripperPenaltyProcessorStep** (optional): Applies penalties for inappropriate gripper usage
-8. **RewardClassifierProcessorStep** (optional): Automated reward detection using vision models
-9. **AddBatchDimensionProcessorStep**: Converts data to batch format for neural network processing
-10. **DeviceProcessorStep**: Moves data to the specified compute device (CPU/GPU)
-
-#### Action Processor Pipeline
-
-The action processor (`action_processor`) handles outgoing actions and human interventions:
-
-1. **AddTeleopActionAsComplimentaryDataStep**: Captures teleoperator actions for logging
-2. **AddTeleopEventsAsInfoStep**: Records intervention events and episode control signals
-3. **InterventionActionProcessorStep**: Handles human interventions and episode termination
-4. **Inverse Kinematics Pipeline** (when enabled):
-   - **MapDeltaActionToRobotActionStep**: Converts delta actions to robot action format
-   - **EEReferenceAndDelta**: Computes end-effector reference and delta movements
-   - **EEBoundsAndSafety**: Enforces workspace safety bounds
-   - **InverseKinematicsEEToJoints**: Converts end-effector actions to joint targets
-   - **GripperVelocityToJoint**: Handles gripper control commands
-
-#### Configuration Examples
-
-**Basic Observation Processing**:
-
-```json
-{
-  "env": {
-    "processor": {
-      "observation": {
-        "add_joint_velocity_to_observation": true,
-        "add_current_to_observation": false,
-        "display_cameras": false
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Image Processing**:
-
-```json
-{
-  "env": {
-    "processor": {
-      "image_preprocessing": {
-        "crop_params_dict": {
-          "observation.images.front": [180, 250, 120, 150],
-          "observation.images.side": [180, 207, 180, 200]
-        },
-        "resize_size": [128, 128]
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Inverse Kinematics Setup**:
-
-```json
-{
-  "env": {
-    "processor": {
-      "inverse_kinematics": {
-        "urdf_path": "path/to/robot.urdf",
-        "target_frame_name": "end_effector",
-        "end_effector_bounds": {
-          "min": [0.16, -0.08, 0.03],
-          "max": [0.24, 0.2, 0.1]
-        },
-        "end_effector_step_sizes": {
-          "x": 0.02,
-          "y": 0.02,
-          "z": 0.02
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Advanced Observation Processing
-
-The HIL-SERL framework supports additional observation processing features that can improve policy learning:
-
-#### Joint Velocity Processing
-
-Enable joint velocity estimation to provide the policy with motion information:
-
-```json
-{
-  "env": {
-    "processor": {
-      "observation": {
-        "add_joint_velocity_to_observation": true
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-This processor:
-
-- Estimates joint velocities using finite differences between consecutive joint position readings
-- Adds velocity information to the observation state vector
-- Useful for policies that need motion awareness for dynamic tasks
-
-#### Motor Current Processing
-
-Monitor motor currents to detect contact forces and load conditions:
-
-```json
-{
-  "env": {
-    "processor": {
-      "observation": {
-        "add_current_to_observation": true
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-This processor:
-
-- Reads motor current values from the robot's control system
-- Adds current measurements to the observation state vector
-- Helps detect contact events, object weights, and mechanical resistance
-- Useful for contact-rich manipulation tasks
-
-#### Combined Observation Processing
-
-You can enable multiple observation processing features simultaneously:
-
-```json
-{
-  "env": {
-    "processor": {
-      "observation": {
-        "add_joint_velocity_to_observation": true,
-        "add_current_to_observation": true,
-        "add_ee_pose_to_observation": false,
-        "display_cameras": false
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Note**: Enabling additional observation features increases the state space dimensionality, which may require adjusting your policy network architecture and potentially collecting more training data.
-
 ### Finding Robot Workspace Bounds
 
 Before collecting demonstrations, you need to determine the appropriate operational bounds for your robot.
 
 This helps simplify the problem of learning on the real robot in two ways: 1) by limiting the robot's operational space to a specific region that solves the task and avoids unnecessary or unsafe exploration, and 2) by allowing training in end-effector space rather than joint space. Empirically, learning in joint space for reinforcement learning in manipulation is often a harder problem - some tasks are nearly impossible to learn in joint space but become learnable when the action space is transformed to end-effector coordinates.
 
-**Using lerobot-find-joint-limits**
+**Using find_joint_limits.py**
 
 This script helps you find the safe operational bounds for your robot's end-effector. Given that you have a follower and leader arm, you can use the script to find the bounds for the follower arm that will be applied during training.
 Bounding the action space will reduce the redundant exploration of the agent and guarantees safety.
 
 ```bash
-lerobot-find-joint-limits \

-The `env.processor.reset.terminate_on_success` parameter allows you to control episode termination behavior. When set to `false`, episodes will continue even after success is detected, allowing you to collect more positive examples with the reward=1 label. This is crucial for training reward classifiers as it provides more success state examples in your dataset. When set to `true` (default), episodes terminate immediately upon success detection.
-
-**Important**: For reward classifier training, set `terminate_on_success: false` to collect sufficient positive examples. For regular HIL-SERL training, keep it as `true` to enable automatic episode termination when the task is completed successfully.
+The `number_of_steps_after_success` parameter is crucial as it allows you to collect more positive examples. When a success is detected, the system will continue recording for the specified number of steps while maintaining the reward=1 label. Otherwise, there won't be enough states in the dataset labeled to 1 to train a good classifier.

-# Implement your own Robot Processor
-
-In this tutorial, you'll learn how to implement your own Robot Processor.
-It begins by exploring the need for a custom processor, then uses the `NormalizerProcessorStep` as the running example to explain how to implement, configure, and serialize a processor. Finally, it lists all helper processors that ship with LeRobot.
-
-## Why would you need a custom processor?
-
-In most cases, when reading raw data from sensors or when models output actions, you need to process this data to make it compatible with your target system. For example, a common need is normalizing data ranges to make them suitable for neural networks.
-
-LeRobot's `NormalizerProcessorStep` handles this crucial task:
-
-```python
-# Input: raw joint positions in [0, 180] degrees
-raw_action = torch.tensor([90.0, 45.0, 135.0])
-
-# After processing: normalized to [-1, 1] range for model training
-normalizer = NormalizerProcessorStep(features=features, norm_map=norm_map, stats=dataset_stats)
-normalized_result = normalizer(transition)
-# ...
-```
-
-Other common processing needs include:
-
-- **Device placement**: Moving tensors between CPU/GPU and converting data types
-- **Format conversion**: Transforming between different data structures
-- **Batching**: Adding/removing batch dimensions for model compatibility
-- **Safety constraints**: Applying limits to robot commands
-
-```python
-# Example pipeline combining multiple processors
-pipeline = PolicyProcessorPipeline([
-    RenameObservationsProcessorStep(rename_map={}),
-    AddBatchDimensionProcessorStep(),
-    NormalizerProcessorStep(features=features, stats=stats),
-    DeviceProcessorStep(device="cuda"),
-    # ...
-])
-```
-
-LeRobot provides a pipeline mechanism to implement sequences of processing steps for both input data and output actions, making it easy to compose these transformations in the right order for optimal performance.
-
-## How to implement your own processor?
-
-We'll use the `NormalizerProcessorStep` as our main example because it demonstrates essential processor patterns including state management, configuration serialization, and tensor handling that you'll commonly need.
-
-Prepare the sequence of processing steps necessary for your problem. A processor step is a class that implements the following methods:
-
-- `__call__`: implements the processing step for the input transition.
-- `get_config`: gets the configuration of the processor step.
-- `state_dict`: gets the state of the processor step.
-- `load_state_dict`: loads the state of the processor step.
-- `reset`: resets the state of the processor step.
-- `feature_contract`: displays the modification to the feature space during the processor step.
-
-### Implement the `__call__` method
-
-The `__call__` method is the core of your processor step. It takes an `EnvTransition` and returns a modified `EnvTransition`. Here's how the `NormalizerProcessorStep` works:
-
-```python
-@dataclass
-@ProcessorStepRegistry.register("normalizer_processor")
-class NormalizerProcessorStep(ProcessorStep):
-    """Normalize observations/actions using dataset statistics."""
-
-    features: dict[str, PolicyFeature]
-    norm_map: dict[FeatureType, NormalizationMode]
-    stats: dict[str, dict[str, Any]] | None = None
-    eps: float = 1e-8
-    _tensor_stats: dict = field(default_factory=dict, init=False, repr=False)
-
-    def __post_init__(self):
-        """Convert stats to tensors for efficient computation."""
-        self.stats = self.stats or {}
-        self._tensor_stats = to_tensor(self.stats, device=self.device, dtype=torch.float32)
-
-    def __call__(self, transition: EnvTransition) -> EnvTransition:
-        new_transition = transition.copy()
-        # Normalize observations
-        # ...
-        # Normalize action
-        # ...
-        return new_transition
-
-```
-
-See the full implementation in `src/lerobot/processor/normalize_processor.py` for complete details.
-
-**Key principles:**
-
-- **Always use `transition.copy()`** to avoid side effects
-- **Handle both observations and actions** consistently
-- **Separate config from state**: `get_config()` returns JSON-serializable params, `state_dict()` returns tensors
-- **Convert stats to tensors** in `__post_init__()` for efficient computation
-
-### Configuration and State Management
-
-Processors support serialization through three methods that separate configuration from tensor state. The `NormalizerProcessorStep` demonstrates this perfectly - it carries dataset statistics (tensors) in its state, and hyperparameters in its config:
-
-```python
-# Continuing the NormalizerProcessorStep example...
-
-def get_config(self) -> dict[str, Any]:
-    """JSON-serializable configuration (no tensors)."""
-    return {
-        "eps": self.eps,
-        "features": {k: {"type": v.type.value, "shape": v.shape} for k, v in self.features.items()},
-        "norm_map": {ft.value: nm.value for ft, nm in self.norm_map.items()},
-        # ...
-    }
-
-def state_dict(self) -> dict[str, torch.Tensor]:
-    """Tensor state only (e.g., dataset statistics)."""
-    flat: dict[str, torch.Tensor] = {}
-    for key, sub in self._tensor_stats.items():
-        for stat_name, tensor in sub.items():
-            flat[f"{key}.{stat_name}"] = tensor.cpu()  # Always save to CPU
-    return flat
-
-def load_state_dict(self, state: dict[str, torch.Tensor]) -> None:
-    """Restore tensor state at runtime."""
-    self._tensor_stats.clear()
-    for flat_key, tensor in state.items():
-        key, stat_name = flat_key.rsplit(".", 1)
-        # Load to processor's configured device
-        self._tensor_stats.setdefault(key, {})[stat_name] = tensor.to(
-            dtype=torch.float32, device=self.device
-        )
-        # ...
-```
-
-**Usage:**
-
-```python
-# Save (e.g., inside a policy)
-config = normalizer.get_config()
-tensors = normalizer.state_dict()
-
-# Restore (e.g., loading a pretrained policy)
-new_normalizer = NormalizerProcessorStep(**config)
-new_normalizer.load_state_dict(tensors)
-# Now new_normalizer has the same stats and configuration
-```
-
-### Transform features
-
-The `transform_features` method defines how your processor transforms feature names and shapes. This is crucial for policy configuration and debugging.
-
-For `NormalizerProcessorStep`, features are typically preserved unchanged since normalization doesn't alter keys or shapes:
-
-```python
-def transform_features(self, features: dict[PipelineFeatureType, dict[str, PolicyFeature]]) -> dict[PipelineFeatureType, dict[str, PolicyFeature]]:
-    """Normalization preserves all feature definitions."""
-    return features  # No changes to feature structure
-    # ...
-```
-
-When your processor renames or reshapes data, implement this method to reflect the mapping for downstream components. For example, a simple rename processor:
-
-```python
-def transform_features(self, features: dict[str, PolicyFeature]) -> dict[str, PolicyFeature]:
-    # Simple renaming
-    if "pixels" in features:
-        features["observation.image"] = features.pop("pixels")
-
-    # Pattern-based renaming
-    for key in list(features.keys()):
-        if key.startswith("env_state."):
-            suffix = key[len("env_state."):]
-            features[f"observation.{suffix}"] = features.pop(key)
-            # ...
-
-    return features
-```
-
-**Key principles:**
-
-- Use `features.pop(old_key)` to remove and get the old feature
-- Use `features[new_key] = old_feature` to add the renamed feature
-- Always return the modified features dictionary
-- Document transformations clearly in the docstring
-
-### Using overrides
-
-You can override step parameters at load-time using `overrides`. This is handy for non-serializable objects or site-specific settings. It works both in policy factories and with `DataProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained(...)`.
-
-**Foundational model adaptation**: This is particularly useful when working with foundational pretrained policies where you rarely have access to the original training statistics. You can inject your own dataset statistics to adapt the normalizer to your specific robot or environment data.
-
-Example: during policy evaluation on the robot, override the device and rename map.
-Use this to run a policy trained on CUDA on a CPU-only robot, or to remap camera keys when the robot uses different names than the dataset.
-
-Direct usage with `from_pretrained`:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.processor import RobotProcessorPipeline
-
-# Load a foundational policy trained on diverse robot data
-# but adapt normalization to your specific robot/environment
-new_stats = LeRobotDataset(repo_id="username/my-dataset").meta.stats
-processor = RobotProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained(
-    "huggingface/foundational-robot-policy",  # Pretrained foundation model
-    overrides={
-        "normalizer_processor": {"stats": new_stats},     # Inject your robot's statistics
-        "device_processor": {"device": "cuda:0"},         # registry name for registered steps
-        "rename_processor": {"rename_map": robot_key_map}, # Map your robot's observation keys
-        # ...
-    },
-)
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-Based on analysis of all LeRobot processor implementations, here are the key patterns and practices:
-
-### 1. **Safe Data Handling**
-
-Always create copies of input data to avoid unintended side effects. Use `transition.copy()` and `observation.copy()` rather than modifying data in-place. This prevents your processor from accidentally affecting other components in the pipeline.
-
-Check for required data before processing and handle missing data gracefully. If your processor expects certain keys (like `"pixels"` for image processing), validate their presence first. For optional data, use safe access patterns like `transition.get()` and handle `None` values appropriately.
-
-When data validation fails, provide clear, actionable error messages that help users understand what went wrong and how to fix it.
-
-### 2. **Choose Appropriate Base Classes**
-
-LeRobot provides specialized base classes that reduce boilerplate code and ensure consistency. Use `ObservationProcessorStep` when you only need to modify observations, `ActionProcessorStep` for action-only processing, and `RobotActionProcessorStep` specifically for dictionary-based robot actions.
-
-Only inherit directly from `ProcessorStep` when you need full control over the entire transition or when processing multiple transition components simultaneously. The specialized base classes handle the transition management for you and provide type safety.
-
-### 3. **Registration and Naming**
-
-Register your processors with descriptive, namespaced names using `@ProcessorStepRegistry.register()`. Use organization prefixes like `"robotics_lab/safety_clipper"` or `"acme_corp/vision_enhancer"` to avoid naming conflicts. Avoid generic names like `"processor"` or `"step"` that could clash with other implementations.
-
-Good registration makes your processors discoverable and enables clean serialization/deserialization when saving and loading pipelines.
-
-### 4. **State Management Patterns**
-
-Distinguish between configuration parameters (JSON-serializable values) and internal state (tensors, buffers). Use dataclass fields with `init=False, repr=False` for internal state that shouldn't appear in the constructor or string representation.
-
-Implement the `reset()` method to clear internal state between episodes. This is crucial for stateful processors that accumulate data over time, like moving averages or temporal filters.
-
-Remember that `get_config()` should only return JSON-serializable configuration, while `state_dict()` handles tensor state separately.
-
-### 5. **Input Validation and Error Handling**
-
-Validate input types and shapes before processing. Check tensor properties like `dtype` and dimensions to ensure compatibility with your algorithms. For robot actions, verify that required pose components or joint values are present and within expected ranges.
-
-Use early returns for edge cases where no processing is needed. Provide clear, descriptive error messages that include the expected vs. actual data types or shapes. This makes debugging much easier for users.
-
-### 6. **Device and Dtype Awareness**
-
-Design your processors to automatically adapt to the device and dtype of input tensors. Internal tensors (like normalization statistics) should match the input tensor's device and dtype to ensure compatibility with multi-GPU training, mixed precision, and distributed setups.
-
-Implement a `to()` method that moves your processor's internal state to the specified device. Check device/dtype compatibility at runtime and automatically migrate internal state when needed. This pattern enables seamless operation across different hardware configurations without manual intervention.
-
-## Conclusion
-
-You now have all the tools to implement custom processors in LeRobot! The key steps are:
-
-1. **Define your processor** as a dataclass with the required methods (`__call__`, `get_config`, `state_dict`, `load_state_dict`, `reset`, `transform_features`)
-2. **Register it** using `@ProcessorStepRegistry.register("name")` for discoverability
-3. **Integrate it** into a `DataProcessorPipeline` with other processing steps
-4. **Use base classes** like `ObservationProcessorStep` when possible to reduce boilerplate
-5. **Implement device/dtype awareness** to support multi-GPU and mixed precision setups
-
-The processor system is designed to be modular and composable, allowing you to build complex data processing pipelines from simple, focused components. Whether you're preprocessing sensor data for training or post-processing model outputs for robot execution, custom processors give you the flexibility to handle any data transformation your robotics application requires.
-
-Key principles for robust processors:
-
-- **Device/dtype adaptation**: Internal tensors should match input tensors
-- **Clear error messages**: Help users understand what went wrong
-- **Base class usage**: Leverage specialized base classes to reduce boilerplate
-- **Feature contracts**: Declare data structure changes with `transform_features()`
-
-Start simple, test thoroughly, and ensure your processors work seamlessly across different hardware configurations!

-# Introduction to Processors
-
-In robotics, there's a fundamental mismatch between the data that robots and humans produce and what machine learning models expect.
-Robots output raw sensor data like camera images and joint positions that need normalization, batching, and device placement before models can process them.
-Language instructions from humans must be tokenized into numerical representations, and different robots use different coordinate systems that need standardization.
-
-The challenge extends to model outputs as well.
-Models might output end-effector positions while robots need joint-space commands, or teleoperators produce relative movements while robots expect absolute commands.
-Model predictions are often normalized and need conversion back to real-world scales.
-
-Cross-domain translation adds another layer of complexity.
-Training data from one robot setup needs adaptation for deployment on different hardware, models trained with specific camera configurations must work with new arrangements, and datasets with different naming conventions need harmonization.
-
-**That's where processors come in.** They serve as universal translators that bridge these gaps, ensuring seamless data flow from sensors to models to actuators.
-Processors handle all the preprocessing and postprocessing steps needed to convert raw environment data into model-ready inputs and vice versa.
-
-This means that your favorite policy can be used like this:
-
-```python
-import torch
-
-from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
-from lerobot.policies.factory import make_pre_post_processors
-from lerobot.policies.your_policy import YourPolicy
-from lerobot.processor.pipeline import RobotProcessorPipeline, PolicyProcessorPipeline
-dataset = LeRobotDataset("hf_user/dataset", episodes=[0])
-sample = dataset[10]
-
-model = YourPolicy.from_pretrained(
-    "hf_user/model",
-)
-model.eval()
-model.to("cuda")
-preprocessor, postprocessor = make_pre_post_processors(model.config, pretrained_path="hf_user/model", dataset_stats=dataset.meta.stats)
-
-preprocessed_sample = preprocessor(sample)
-action = model.select_action(preprocessed_sample)
-postprocessed_action = postprocessor(action)
-```
-
-## What are Processors?
-
-In robotics, data comes in many forms: images from cameras, joint positions from sensors, text instructions from users, and more. Each type of data requires specific transformations before a model can use it effectively. Models need this data to be:
-
-- **Normalized**: Scaled to appropriate ranges for neural network processing
-- **Batched**: Organized with proper dimensions for batch processing
-- **Tokenized**: Text converted to numerical representations
-- **Device-placed**: Moved to the right hardware (CPU/GPU)
-- **Type-converted**: Cast to appropriate data types
-
-Processors handle these transformations through composable, reusable steps that can be chained together into pipelines. Think of them as a modular assembly line where each station performs a specific transformation on your data.
-
-## Core Concepts
-
-### EnvTransition: The Universal Data Container
-
-The `EnvTransition` is the fundamental data structure that flows through all processors.
-It's a typed dictionary that represents a complete robot-environment interaction:
-
-- **OBSERVATION**: All sensor data (images, states, proprioception)
-- **ACTION**: The action to execute or that was executed
-- **REWARD**: Reinforcement learning signal
-- **DONE/TRUNCATED**: Episode boundary indicators
-- **INFO**: Arbitrary metadata
-- **COMPLEMENTARY_DATA**: Task descriptions, indices, padding flags, inter-step data
-
-### ProcessorStep: The Building Block
-
-A `ProcessorStep` is a single transformation unit that processes transitions. It's an abstract base class with two required methods:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.processor import ProcessorStep, EnvTransition
-
-class MyProcessorStep(ProcessorStep):
-    """Example processor step - inherit and implement abstract methods."""
-
-    def __call__(self, transition: EnvTransition) -> EnvTransition:
-        """Transform the transition - REQUIRED abstract method."""
-        # Your processing logic here
-        return transition
-
-    def transform_features(self, features):
-        """Declare how this step transforms feature shapes/types - REQUIRED abstract method."""
-        return features  # Most processors return features unchanged
-```
-
-`__call__` is the core of your processor step. It takes an `EnvTransition` and returns a modified `EnvTransition`.
-
-`transform_features` is used to declare how this step transforms feature shapes/types.
-
-### DataProcessorPipeline: The Generic Orchestrator
-
-The `DataProcessorPipeline[TInput, TOutput]` chains multiple `ProcessorStep` instances together:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.processor import RobotProcessorPipeline, PolicyProcessorPipeline
-
-# For robot hardware (unbatched data)
-robot_processor = RobotProcessorPipeline[RobotAction, RobotAction](
-    steps=[step1, step2, step3],
-    name="robot_pipeline"
-)
-
-# For model training/inference (batched data)
-policy_processor = PolicyProcessorPipeline[dict[str, Any], dict[str, Any]](
-    steps=[step1, step2, step3],
-    name="policy_pipeline"
-)
-```
-
-## RobotProcessorPipeline vs PolicyProcessorPipeline
-
-The key distinction is in the data structures they handle:
-
-| Aspect          | RobotProcessorPipeline                       | PolicyProcessorPipeline                  |
-| --------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
-| **Input**       | `dict[str, Any]` - Individual robot values   | `dict[str, Any]` - Batched tensors       |
-| **Output**      | `dict[str, Any]` - Individual robot commands | `torch.Tensor` - Policy predictions      |
-| **Use Case**    | Real-time robot control                      | Model training/inference                 |
-| **Data Format** | Unbatched, heterogeneous                     | Batched, homogeneous                     |
-| **Examples**    | `{"joint_1": 0.5}`                           | `{"observation.state": tensor([[0.5]])}` |
-
-**Use `RobotProcessorPipeline`** for robot hardware interfaces:
-
-```python
-# Robot data structures: dict[str, Any] for observations and actions
-robot_obs: dict[str, Any] = {
-    "joint_1": 0.5,           # Individual joint values
-    "joint_2": -0.3,
-    "camera_0": image_array   # Raw camera data
-}
-
-robot_action: dict[str, Any] = {
-    "joint_1": 0.2,          # Target joint positions
-    "joint_2": 0.1,
-    "gripper": 0.8
-}
-```
-
-**Use `PolicyProcessorPipeline`** for model training and batch processing:
-
-```python
-# Policy data structures: batch dicts and tensors
-policy_batch: dict[str, Any] = {
-    "observation.state": torch.tensor([[0.5, -0.3]]),      # Batched states
-    "observation.images.camera0": torch.tensor(...),        # Batched images
-    "action": torch.tensor([[0.2, 0.1, 0.8]])              # Batched actions
-}
-
-policy_action: torch.Tensor = torch.tensor([[0.2, 0.1, 0.8]])  # Model output tensor
-```
-
-## Converter Functions
-
-LeRobot provides converter functions to bridge different data formats in `lerobot.processor.converters`. These functions handle the crucial translations between robot hardware data structures, policy model formats, and the internal `EnvTransition` representation that flows through processor pipelines.
-
-| Category                       | Function                      | Description                     |
-| ------------------------------ | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
-| **Robot Hardware Converters**  | `robot_action_to_transition`  | Robot dict → EnvTransition      |
-|                                | `observation_to_transition`   | Robot obs → EnvTransition       |
-|                                | `transition_to_robot_action`  | EnvTransition → Robot dict      |
-| **Policy/Training Converters** | `batch_to_transition`         | Batch dict → EnvTransition      |
-|                                | `transition_to_batch`         | EnvTransition → Batch dict      |
-|                                | `policy_action_to_transition` | Policy tensor → EnvTransition   |
-|                                | `transition_to_policy_action` | EnvTransition → Policy tensor   |
-| **Utilities**                  | `create_transition`           | Build transitions with defaults |
-|                                | `identity_transition`         | Pass-through converter          |
-
-The key insight is that **robot hardware converters** work with individual values and dictionaries, while **policy/training converters** work with batched tensors and model outputs. The converter functions automatically handle the structural differences, so your processor steps can focus on the core transformations without worrying about data format compatibility.
-
-## Processor Examples
-
-The following examples demonstrate real-world processor configurations for policy training and inference.
-
-Here is an example processor for policy training and inference:
-
-```python
-# Training data preprocessing (optimized order for GPU performance)
-training_preprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline[dict[str, Any], dict[str, Any]](
-    steps=[
-        RenameObservationsProcessorStep(rename_map={}),     # Standardize keys
-        AddBatchDimensionProcessorStep(),                   # Add batch dims
-        TokenizerProcessorStep(tokenizer_name="...", ...),  # Tokenize language
-        DeviceProcessorStep(device="cuda"),                 # Move to GPU first
-        NormalizerProcessorStep(features=..., stats=...),   # Normalize on GPU
-    ]
-)
-
-# Model output postprocessing
-training_postprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline[torch.Tensor, torch.Tensor](
-    steps=[
-        DeviceProcessorStep(device="cpu"),                  # Move to CPU
-        UnnormalizerProcessorStep(features=..., stats=...), # Denormalize
-    ]
-    to_transition=policy_action_to_transition,
-    to_output=transition_to_policy_action,
-)
-```
-
-### An interaction between a robot and a policy with processors
-
-The most common real-world scenario combines both pipeline types robot hardware generates observations that need policy processing, and policy outputs need robot-compatible postprocessing:
-
-```python
-# Real deployment: Robot sensors → Model → Robot commands
-with torch.no_grad():
-    while not done:
-        raw_obs = robot.get_observation()  # dict[str, Any]
-
-        # Add your robot observation to policy observation processor
-
-        policy_input = policy_preprocessor(raw_obs)  # Batched dict
-
-        policy_output = policy.select_action(policy_input)  # Policy tensor
-
-        policy_action = policy_postprocessor(policy_output)
-
-        # Add your robot action to policy action processor
-
-        robot.send_action(policy_action)
-```
-
-## Feature Contracts: Shape and Type Transformation
-
-Processors don't just transform data - they can also **change the data structure itself**. The `transform_features()` method declares these changes, which is crucial for dataset recording and policy creation.
-
-### Why Feature Contracts Matter
-
-When building datasets or policies, LeRobot needs to know:
-
-- **What data fields will exist** after processing
-- **What shapes and types** each field will have
-- **How to configure models** for the expected data structure
-
-```python
-# Example: A processor that adds velocity to observations
-class VelocityProcessor(ObservationProcessorStep):
-    def observation(self, obs):
-        new_obs = obs.copy()
-        if "observation.state" in obs:
-            # concatenate computed velocity field to the state
-            new_obs["observation.state"] = self._compute_velocity(obs["observation.state"])
-        return new_obs
-
-    def transform_features(self, features):
-        """Declare the new velocity field we're adding."""
-        state_feature = features[PipelineFeatureType.OBSERVATION].get("observation.state")
-        if state_feature:
-            double_shape = (state_feature.shape[0] * 2,) if state_feature.shape else (2,)
-            features[PipelineFeatureType.OBSERVATION]["observation.state"] = PolicyFeature(
-                type=FeatureType.STATE, shape=double_shape
-            )
-        return features
-```
-
-### Feature Specification Functions
-
-`create_initial_features()` and `aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features()` solve a critical dataset creation problem: determining the exact final data structure before any data is processed.
-Since processor pipelines can add new features (like velocity fields), change tensor shapes (like cropping images), or rename keys, datasets need to know the complete output specification upfront to allocate proper storage and define schemas.
-These functions work together by starting with robot hardware specifications (`create_initial_features()`) then simulating the entire pipeline transformation (`aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features()`) to compute the final feature dictionary that gets passed to `LeRobotDataset.create()`, ensuring perfect alignment between what processors output and what datasets expect to store.
-
-```python
-from lerobot.datasets.pipeline_features import aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features
-
-# Start with robot's raw features
-initial_features = create_initial_features(
-    observation=robot.observation_features,  # {"joint_1.pos": float, "camera_0": (480,640,3)}
-    action=robot.action_features            # {"joint_1.pos": float, "gripper.pos": float}
-)
-
-# Apply processor pipeline to compute final features
-final_features = aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features(
-    pipeline=my_processor_pipeline,
-    initial_features=initial_features,
-    use_videos=True
-)
-
-# Use for dataset creation
-dataset = LeRobotDataset.create(
-    repo_id="my_dataset",
-    features=final_features,  # Knows exactly what data to expect
-    ...
-)
-```
-
-## Common Processor Steps
-
-LeRobot provides many registered processor steps. Here are the most commonly used core processors:
-
-### Essential Processors
-
-- **`normalizer_processor`**: Normalize observations/actions using dataset statistics (mean/std or min/max)
-- **`device_processor`**: Move tensors to CPU/GPU with optional dtype conversion
-- **`to_batch_processor`**: Add batch dimensions to transitions for model compatibility
-- **`rename_observations_processor`**: Rename observation keys using mapping dictionaries
-- **`tokenizer_processor`**: Tokenize natural language task descriptions into tokens and attention masks
-
-### Next Steps
-
-- **[Implement Your Own Processor](implement_your_own_processor.mdx)** - Create custom processor steps
-- **[Debug Your Pipeline](debug_processor_pipeline.mdx)** - Troubleshoot and optimize pipelines
-- **[Processors for Robots and Teleoperators](processors_robots_teleop.mdx)** - Real-world integration patterns
-
-## Summary
-
-Processors solve the data translation problem in robotics by providing:
-
-- **Modular transformations**: Composable, reusable processing steps
-- **Type safety**: Generic pipelines with compile-time checking
-- **Performance optimization**: GPU-accelerated operations
-- **Robot/Policy distinction**: Separate pipelines for different data structures
-- **Comprehensive ecosystem**: 30+ registered processors for common tasks
-
-The key insight: `RobotProcessorPipeline` handles unbatched robot hardware data, while `PolicyProcessorPipeline` handles batched model data. Choose the right tool for your data structure!

-# LeRobotDataset v3.0
-
-`LeRobotDataset v3.0` is a standardized format for robot learning data. It provides unified access to multi-modal time-series data, sensorimotor signals and multi‑camera video, as well as rich metadata for indexing, search, and visualization on the Hugging Face Hub.
-
-This docs will guide you to:
-
-- Understand the v3.0 design and directory layout
-- Record a dataset and push it to the Hub
-- Load datasets for training with `LeRobotDataset`
-- Stream datasets without downloading using `StreamingLeRobotDataset`
-- Apply image transforms for data augmentation during training
-- Migrate existing `v2.1` datasets to `v3.0`
-
-## What’s new in `v3`
-
-- **File-based storage**: Many episodes per Parquet/MP4 file (v2 used one file per episode).
-- **Relational metadata**: Episode boundaries and lookups are resolved through metadata, not filenames.
-- **Hub-native streaming**: Consume datasets directly from the Hub with `StreamingLeRobotDataset`.
-- **Lower file-system pressure**: Fewer, larger files ⇒ faster initialization and fewer issues at scale.
-- **Unified organization**: Clean directory layout with consistent path templates across data and videos.
-
-## Installation
-
-`LeRobotDataset v3.0` will be included in `lerobot >= 0.4.0`.
-
-Until that stable release, you can use the main branch by following the [build from source instructions](./installation#from-source).
-
-## Record a dataset
-
-Run the command below to record a dataset with the SO-101 and push to the Hub:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-record \
-  --robot.type=so101_follower \
-  --robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem585A0076841 \
-  --robot.id=my_awesome_follower_arm \
-  --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 1920, height: 1080, fps: 30}}" \
-  --teleop.type=so101_leader \
-  --teleop.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431551 \
-  --teleop.id=my_awesome_leader_arm \
-  --display_data=true \
-  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/record-test \
-  --dataset.num_episodes=5 \
-  --dataset.single_task="Grab the black cube"
-```
-
-See the [recording guide](./il_robots#record-a-dataset) for more details.
-
-## Format design
-
-A core v3 principle is **decoupling storage from the user API**: data is stored efficiently (few large files), while the public API exposes intuitive episode-level access.
-
-`v3` has three pillars:
-
-1. **Tabular data**: Low‑dimensional, high‑frequency signals (states, actions, timestamps) stored in **Apache Parquet**. Access is memory‑mapped or streamed via the `datasets` stack.
-2. **Visual data**: Camera frames concatenated and encoded into **MP4**. Frames from the same episode are grouped; videos are sharded per camera for practical sizes.
-3. **Metadata**: JSON/Parquet records describing schema (feature names, dtypes, shapes), frame rates, normalization stats, and **episode segmentation** (start/end offsets into shared Parquet/MP4 files).
-
-> To scale to millions of episodes, tabular rows and video frames from multiple episodes are **concatenated** into larger files. Episode‑specific views are reconstructed **via metadata**, not file boundaries.

-### Directory layout (simplified)
-
-- **`meta/info.json`**: canonical schema (features, shapes/dtypes), FPS, codebase version, and **path templates** to locate data/video shards.
-- **`meta/stats.json`**: global feature statistics (mean/std/min/max) used for normalization; exposed as `dataset.meta.stats`.
-- **`meta/tasks.jsonl`**: natural‑language task descriptions mapped to integer IDs for task‑conditioned policies.
-- **`meta/episodes/`**: per‑episode records (lengths, tasks, offsets) stored as **chunked Parquet** for scalability.
-- **`data/`**: frame‑by‑frame **Parquet** shards; each file typically contains **many episodes**.
-- **`videos/`**: **MP4** shards per camera; each file typically contains **many episodes**.
-
-## Load a dataset for training
-
-`LeRobotDataset` returns Python dictionaries of PyTorch tensors and integrates with `torch.utils.data.DataLoader`. Here is a code example showing its use:
-
-```python
-import torch
-from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
-
-repo_id = "yaak-ai/L2D-v3"
-
-# 1) Load from the Hub (cached locally)
-dataset = LeRobotDataset(repo_id)
-
-# 2) Random access by index
-sample = dataset[100]
-print(sample)
-# {
-#   'observation.state': tensor([...]),
-#   'action': tensor([...]),
-#   'observation.images.front_left': tensor([C, H, W]),
-#   'timestamp': tensor(1.234),
-#   ...
-# }
-
-# 3) Temporal windows via delta_timestamps (seconds relative to t)
-delta_timestamps = {
-    "observation.images.front_left": [-0.2, -0.1, 0.0]  # 0.2s and 0.1s before current frame
-}
-
-dataset = LeRobotDataset(repo_id, delta_timestamps=delta_timestamps)
-
-# Accessing an index now returns a stack for the specified key(s)
-sample = dataset[100]
-print(sample["observation.images.front_left"].shape)  # [T, C, H, W], where T=3
-
-# 4) Wrap with a DataLoader for training
-batch_size = 16
-data_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(dataset, batch_size=batch_size)
-
-device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
-for batch in data_loader:
-    observations = batch["observation.state"].to(device)
-    actions = batch["action"].to(device)
-    images = batch["observation.images.front_left"].to(device)
-    # model.forward(batch)
-```
-
-## Stream a dataset (no downloads)
-
-Use `StreamingLeRobotDataset` to iterate directly from the Hub without local copies. This allows to stream large datasets without the need to downloading them onto disk or loading them onto memory, and is a key feature of the new dataset format.
-
-```python
-from lerobot.datasets.streaming_dataset import StreamingLeRobotDataset
-
-repo_id = "yaak-ai/L2D-v3"
-dataset = StreamingLeRobotDataset(repo_id)  # streams directly from the Hub
-```

-## Image transforms
-
-Image transforms are data augmentations applied to camera frames during training to improve model robustness and generalization. LeRobot supports various transforms including brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, and sharpness adjustments.
-
-### Using transforms during dataset creation/recording
-
-Currently, transforms are applied during **training time only**, not during recording. When you create or record a dataset, the raw images are stored without transforms. This allows you to experiment with different augmentations later without re-recording data.
-
-### Adding transforms to existing datasets (API)
-
-Use the `image_transforms` parameter when loading a dataset for training:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
-from lerobot.datasets.transforms import ImageTransforms, ImageTransformsConfig, ImageTransformConfig
-
-# Option 1: Use default transform configuration (disabled by default)
-transforms_config = ImageTransformsConfig(
-    enable=True,  # Enable transforms
-    max_num_transforms=3,  # Apply up to 3 transforms per frame
-    random_order=False,  # Apply in standard order
-)
-transforms = ImageTransforms(transforms_config)
-
-dataset = LeRobotDataset(
-    repo_id="your-username/your-dataset",
-    image_transforms=transforms
-)
-
-# Option 2: Create custom transform configuration
-custom_transforms_config = ImageTransformsConfig(
-    enable=True,
-    max_num_transforms=2,
-    random_order=True,
-    tfs={
-        "brightness": ImageTransformConfig(
-            weight=1.0,
-            type="ColorJitter",
-            kwargs={"brightness": (0.7, 1.3)}  # Adjust brightness range
-        ),
-        "contrast": ImageTransformConfig(
-            weight=2.0,  # Higher weight = more likely to be selected
-            type="ColorJitter",
-            kwargs={"contrast": (0.8, 1.2)}
-        ),
-        "sharpness": ImageTransformConfig(
-            weight=0.5,  # Lower weight = less likely to be selected
-            type="SharpnessJitter",
-            kwargs={"sharpness": (0.3, 2.0)}
-        ),
-    }
-)
-
-dataset = LeRobotDataset(
-    repo_id="your-username/your-dataset",
-    image_transforms=ImageTransforms(custom_transforms_config)
-)
-
-# Option 3: Use pure torchvision transforms
-from torchvision.transforms import v2
-
-torchvision_transforms = v2.Compose([
-    v2.ColorJitter(brightness=0.2, contrast=0.2, saturation=0.2, hue=0.1),
-    v2.GaussianBlur(kernel_size=3, sigma=(0.1, 2.0)),
-])
-
-dataset = LeRobotDataset(
-    repo_id="your-username/your-dataset",
-    image_transforms=torchvision_transforms
-)
-```
-
-### Available transform types
-
-LeRobot provides several transform types:
-
-- **`ColorJitter`**: Adjusts brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue
-- **`SharpnessJitter`**: Randomly adjusts image sharpness
-- **`Identity`**: No transformation (useful for testing)
-
-You can also use any `torchvision.transforms.v2` transform by passing it directly to the `image_transforms` parameter.
-
-### Configuration options
-
-- **`enable`**: Enable/disable transforms (default: `False`)
-- **`max_num_transforms`**: Maximum number of transforms applied per frame (default: `3`)
-- **`random_order`**: Apply transforms in random order vs. standard order (default: `False`)
-- **`weight`**: Sampling probability for each transform (higher = more likely, if sum of weights is not 1, they will be normalized)
-- **`kwargs`**: Transform-specific parameters (e.g., brightness range)
-
-### Visualizing transforms
-
-Use the visualization script to preview how transforms affect your data:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-imgtransform-viz \
-  --repo-id=your-username/your-dataset \
-  --output-dir=./transform_examples \
-  --n-examples=5
-```
-
-This saves example images showing the effect of each transform, helping you tune parameters.
-
-### Best practices
-
-- **Start conservative**: Begin with small ranges (e.g., brightness 0.9-1.1) and increase gradually
-- **Test first**: Use the visualization script to ensure transforms look reasonable
-- **Monitor training**: Strong augmentations can hurt performance if too aggressive
-- **Match your domain**: If your robot operates in varying lighting, use brightness/contrast transforms
-- **Combine wisely**: Using too many transforms simultaneously can make training unstable
-
-## Migrate `v2.1` → `v3.0`
-
-A converter aggregates per‑episode files into larger shards and writes episode offsets/metadata. Convert your dataset using the instructions below.
-
-```bash
-# Pre-release build with v3 support:
-pip install "https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/archive/33cad37054c2b594ceba57463e8f11ee374fa93c.zip"
-
-# Convert an existing v2.1 dataset hosted on the Hub:
-python -m lerobot.datasets.v30.convert_dataset_v21_to_v30 --repo-id=<HF_USER/DATASET_ID>
-```
-
-**What it does**
-
-- Aggregates parquet files: `episode-0000.parquet`, `episode-0001.parquet`, … → **`file-0000.parquet`**, …
-- Aggregates mp4 files: `episode-0000.mp4`, `episode-0001.mp4`, … → **`file-0000.mp4`**, …
-- Updates `meta/episodes/*` (chunked Parquet) with per‑episode lengths, tasks, and byte/frame offsets.

-# LIBERO
-
-**LIBERO** is a benchmark designed to study **lifelong robot learning**. The idea is that robots won’t just be pretrained once in a factory, they’ll need to keep learning and adapting with their human users over time. This ongoing adaptation is called **lifelong learning in decision making (LLDM)**, and it’s a key step toward building robots that become truly personalized helpers.
-

-- 💻 [Original LIBERO repo](https://github.com/Lifelong-Robot-Learning/LIBERO)
-
-To make progress on this challenge, LIBERO provides a set of standardized tasks that focus on **knowledge transfer**: how well a robot can apply what it has already learned to new situations. By evaluating on LIBERO, different algorithms can be compared fairly and researchers can build on each other’s work.
-
-LIBERO includes **five task suites**:
-
-- **LIBERO-Spatial (`libero_spatial`)** – tasks that require reasoning about spatial relations.
-- **LIBERO-Object (`libero_object`)** – tasks centered on manipulating different objects.
-- **LIBERO-Goal (`libero_goal`)** – goal-conditioned tasks where the robot must adapt to changing targets.
-- **LIBERO-90 (`libero_90`)** – 90 short-horizon tasks from the LIBERO-100 collection.
-- **LIBERO-Long (`libero_10`)** – 10 long-horizon tasks from the LIBERO-100 collection.
-
-Together, these suites cover **130 tasks**, ranging from simple object manipulations to complex multi-step scenarios. LIBERO is meant to grow over time, and to serve as a shared benchmark where the community can test and improve lifelong learning algorithms.

-
-At **LeRobot**, we ported [LIBERO](https://github.com/Lifelong-Robot-Learning/LIBERO) into our framework and used it mainly to **evaluate [SmolVLA](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/en/smolvla)**, our lightweight Vision-Language-Action model.
-
-LIBERO is now part of our **multi-eval supported simulation**, meaning you can benchmark your policies either on a **single suite of tasks** or across **multiple suites at once** with just a flag.

-To Install LIBERO, after following LeRobot official instructions, just do:
-`pip install -e ".[libero]"`
-
-### Single-suite evaluation
-
-Evaluate a policy on one LIBERO suite:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-eval \
-  --policy.path="your-policy-id" \
-  --env.type=libero \
-  --env.task=libero_object \
-  --eval.batch_size=2 \
-  --eval.n_episodes=3
-```
-
-- `--env.task` picks the suite (`libero_object`, `libero_spatial`, etc.).
-- `--eval.batch_size` controls how many environments run in parallel.
-- `--eval.n_episodes` sets how many episodes to run in total.
-
----
-
-### Multi-suite evaluation
-
-Benchmark a policy across multiple suites at once:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-eval \
-  --policy.path="your-policy-id" \
-  --env.type=libero \
-  --env.task=libero_object,libero_spatial \
-  --eval.batch_size=1 \
-  --eval.n_episodes=2
-```
-
-- Pass a comma-separated list to `--env.task` for multi-suite evaluation.
-
-### Policy inputs and outputs
-
-When using LIBERO through LeRobot, policies interact with the environment via **observations** and **actions**:
-
-- **Observations**
-  - `observation.state` – proprioceptive features (agent state).
-  - `observation.images.image` – main camera view (`agentview_image`).
-  - `observation.images.image2` – wrist camera view (`robot0_eye_in_hand_image`).
-
-  ⚠️ **Note:** LeRobot enforces the `.images.*` prefix for any multi-modal visual features. Always ensure that your policy config `input_features` use the same naming keys, and that your dataset metadata keys follow this convention during evaluation.
-  If your data contains different keys, you must rename the observations to match what the policy expects, since naming keys are encoded inside the normalization statistics layer.
-  This will be fixed with the upcoming Pipeline PR.
-
-- **Actions**
-  - Continuous control values in a `Box(-1, 1, shape=(7,))` space.
-
-We also provide a notebook for quick testing:
-Training with LIBERO
-
-## Training with LIBERO
-
-When training on LIBERO tasks, make sure your dataset parquet and metadata keys follow the LeRobot convention.
-
-The environment expects:
-
-- `observation.state` → 8-dim agent state
-- `observation.images.image` → main camera (`agentview_image`)
-- `observation.images.image2` → wrist camera (`robot0_eye_in_hand_image`)
-
-⚠️ Cleaning the dataset upfront is **cleaner and more efficient** than remapping keys inside the code.
-To avoid potential mismatches and key errors, we provide a **preprocessed LIBERO dataset** that is fully compatible with the current LeRobot codebase and requires no additional manipulation:
-👉 [HuggingFaceVLA/libero](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceVLA/libero)
-
-For reference, here is the **original dataset** published by Physical Intelligence:
-👉 [physical-intelligence/libero](https://huggingface.co/datasets/physical-intelligence/libero)

-### Example training command
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \

-# Phone
-
-Use your phone (iOS or Android) to control your robot.
-
-**In this guide you'll learn:**
-
-- How to connect an iOS/Android phone
-- How phone pose is mapped to robot end‑effector (EE) targets
-- How to tweak safety limits, gripper control, and IK settings
-
-To use phone to control your robot, install the relevant dependencies with:
-
-```bash
-pip install lerobot[phone]
-```
-
-## Get started
-
-### Supported platforms
-
-- iOS: Uses the HEBI Mobile I/O app (ARKit pose + buttons). Download the app first, open it and the examples will discover it on your network and stream the phone pose and inputs.
-- Android: Uses the `teleop` package (WebXR). When you start the Python process, it prints a local URL. Open the link on your phone, tap Start, then use Move to stream pose.
-
-Links:
-
-- Android WebXR library: [`teleop` on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/teleop/)
-- iOS app: [HEBI Mobile I/O](https://docs.hebi.us/tools.html#mobile-io)
-
-### Phone orientation and controls
-
-- Orientation: hold the phone with the screen facing up and the top edge pointing in the same direction as the robot gripper. This ensures calibration aligns the phone’s frame with the robot frame so motion feels natural, see the image below for reference.
-- Enable/disable:
-  - iOS: Hold `B1` to enable teleoperation, release to stop. The first press captures a reference pose.
-  - Android: Press and hold the `Move` button, release to stop. The first press captures a reference pose.
-- Gripper control:
-  - iOS: Analog input `A3` controls the gripper as velocity input.
-  - Android: Buttons `A` and `B` act like increment/decrement (A opens, B closes). You can tune velocity in the `GripperVelocityToJoint` step.
-
-<img src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/lerobot/phone_teleop.webp" alt="Phone teleop orientation" title="Phone teleop orientation" width="40%">
-
-### Step 1: Choose the platform
-
-Modify the examples to use `PhoneOS.IOS` or `PhoneOS.ANDROID` in `PhoneConfig`. The API is identical across platforms, only the input source differs. All examples are under `examples/` and have `phone_so100_*.py` variants.
-
-Teleoperation example:
-
-```36:43:examples/phone_so100_teleop.py
-from lerobot.teleoperators.phone.config_phone import PhoneConfig, PhoneOS
-
-teleop_config = PhoneConfig(phone_os=PhoneOS.IOS)  # or PhoneOS.ANDROID
-teleop_device = Phone(teleop_config)
-```
-
-### Step 2: Connect and calibrate
-
-When `Phone(teleop_config)` is created and `connect()` is called, calibration is prompted automatically. Hold the phone in the orientation described above, then:
-
-- iOS: press and hold `B1` to capture the reference pose.
-- Android: press `Move` button on the WebXR page to capture the reference pose.
-
-Why calibrate? We capture the current pose so subsequent poses are expressed in a robot aligned frame. When you again press the button to enable control, the position is recaptured to avoid drift when your phone is repositioned while it was disabled.
-
-### Step 3: Run an example
-
-Run on of the examples scripts to teleoperate, record a dataset, replay a dataset or evaluate a policy.
-
-All scripts assume you configured your robot (e.g., SO-100 follower) and set the correct serial port.
-
-Additionally you need to **copy the urdf of the robot to the examples folder**. For the examples in this tutorial (Using SO100/SO101) it is highly recommended to use the urdf in the [SO-ARM100 repo](https://github.com/TheRobotStudio/SO-ARM100/blob/main/Simulation/SO101/so101_new_calib.urdf)
-
-- Run this example to teleoperate:
-
-  ```bash
-  python examples/phone_to_so100/teleoperate.py
-  ```
-
-After running the example:
-
-- Android: after starting the script, open the printed local URL on your phone, tap Start, then press and hold Move.
-- iOS: open HEBI Mobile I/O first; B1 enables motion. A3 controls the gripper.
-
-Additionally you can customize mapping or safety limits by editing the processor steps shown in the examples. You can also remap inputs (e.g., use a different analog input) or adapt the pipeline to other robots (e.g., LeKiwi) by modifying the input and kinematics steps. More about this in the [Processors for Robots and Teleoperators](./processors_robots_teleop.mdx) guide.
-
-- Run this example to record a dataset, which saves absolute end effector observations and actions:
-
-  ```bash
-  python examples/phone_to_so100/record.py
-  ```
-
-- Run this example to replay recorded episodes:
-
-  ```bash
-  python examples/phone_to_so100/replay.py
-  ```
-
-- Run this example to evaluate a pretrained policy:
-
-  ```bash
-  python examples/phone_to_so100/evaluate.py
-  ```
-
-### Important pipeline steps and options
-
-- Kinematics are used in multiple steps. We use [Placo](https://github.com/Rhoban/placo) which is a wrapper around Pinocchio for handling our kinematics. We construct the kinematics object by passing the robot's URDF and target frame. We set `target_frame_name` to the gripper frame.
-
-  ```examples/phone_to_so100/teleoperate.py
-  kinematics_solver = RobotKinematics(
-    urdf_path="./SO101/so101_new_calib.urdf",
-    target_frame_name="gripper_frame_link",
-    joint_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()),
-  )
-
-  ```
-
-- The `MapPhoneActionToRobotAction` step converts the calibrated phone pose and inputs into target deltas and gripper commands, below is shown what the step outputs.
-
-  ```src/lerobot/teleoperators/phone/phone_processor.py
-  action["enabled"] = enabled
-        action["target_x"] = -pos[1] if enabled else 0.0
-        action["target_y"] = pos[0] if enabled else 0.0
-        action["target_z"] = pos[2] if enabled else 0.0
-        action["target_wx"] = rotvec[1] if enabled else 0.0
-        action["target_wy"] = rotvec[0] if enabled else 0.0
-        action["target_wz"] = -rotvec[2] if enabled else 0.0
-        action["gripper_vel"] = gripper_vel  # Still send gripper action when disabled
-  ```
-
-- The `EEReferenceAndDelta` step converts target deltas to an absolute desired EE pose, storing a reference on enable, the `end_effector_step_sizes` are the step sizes for the EE pose and can be modified to change the motion speed.
-
-  ```examples/phone_to_so100/teleoperate.py
-  EEReferenceAndDelta(
-      kinematics=kinematics_solver,
-      end_effector_step_sizes={"x": 0.5, "y": 0.5, "z": 0.5},
-      motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()),
-      use_latched_reference=True,
-  ),
-  ```
-
-- The `EEBoundsAndSafety` step clamps EE motion to a workspace and checks for large ee step jumps to ensure safety. The `end_effector_bounds` are the bounds for the EE pose and can be modified to change the workspace. The `max_ee_step_m` and `max_ee_twist_step_rad` are the step limits for the EE pose and can be modified to change the safety limits.
-
-  ```examples/phone_to_so100/teleoperate.py
-  EEBoundsAndSafety(
-      end_effector_bounds={"min": [-1.0, -1.0, -1.0], "max": [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]},
-      max_ee_step_m=0.10,
-      max_ee_twist_step_rad=0.50,
-  )
-  ```
-
-- The `GripperVelocityToJoint` step turns a velocity‑like gripper input into absolute gripper position using the current measured state. The `speed_factor` is the factor by which the velocity is multiplied.
-
-  ```examples/phone_to_so100/teleoperate.py
-  GripperVelocityToJoint(speed_factor=20.0)
-  ```
-
-#### Different IK initial guesses
-
-We use different IK initial guesses in the kinematic steps. As initial guess either the current measured joints or the previous IK solution is used.
-
-- Closed loop (used in record/eval): sets `initial_guess_current_joints=True` so IK starts from the measured joints each frame.
-
-  ```examples/phone_to_so100/record.py
-  InverseKinematicsEEToJoints(
-      kinematics=kinematics_solver,
-      motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()),
-      initial_guess_current_joints=True,  # closed loop
-  )
-  ```
-
-- Open loop (used in replay): sets `initial_guess_current_joints=False` so IK continues from the previous IK solution rather than the measured state. This preserves action stability when we replay without feedback.
-
-  ```examples/phone_to_so100/replay.py
-  InverseKinematicsEEToJoints(
-      kinematics=kinematics_solver,
-      motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()),
-      initial_guess_current_joints=False,  # open loop
-  )
-  ```
-
-### Pipeline steps explained
-
-- MapPhoneActionToRobotAction: converts calibrated phone pose and inputs into target deltas and a gripper command. Motion is gated by an enable signal (B1 on iOS, Move on Android).
-- EEReferenceAndDelta: latches a reference EE pose on enable and combines it with target deltas to produce an absolute desired EE pose each frame. When disabled, it keeps sending the last commanded pose.
-- EEBoundsAndSafety: clamps the EE pose to a workspace and rate‑limits jumps for safety. Also declares `action.ee.*` features.
-- InverseKinematicsEEToJoints: turns an EE pose into joint positions with IK. `initial_guess_current_joints=True` is recommended for closed‑loop control; set `False` for open‑loop replay for stability.
-- GripperVelocityToJoint: integrates a velocity‑like gripper input into an absolute gripper position using the current measured state.
-- ForwardKinematicsJointsToEE: computes `observation.state.ee.*` from observed joints for logging and training on EE state.
-
-### Troubleshooting
-
-- iOS not discovered: ensure HEBI Mobile I/O is open and your laptop/phone are on the same network.
-- Android URL not reachable: check local you used `https` instead of `http`, use the exact IP printed by the script and allow your browser to enter and ignore the certificate issue.
-- Motion feels inverted: adjust the sign flips in `MapPhoneActionToRobotAction` or swap axes to match your setup.

-# Processors for Robots and Teleoperators
-
-This guide shows how to build and modify processing pipelines that connect teleoperators (e.g., phone) to robots and datasets. Pipelines standardize conversions between different action/observation spaces so you can swap teleops and robots without rewriting glue code.
-
-We use the Phone to SO‑100 follower examples for concreteness, but the same patterns apply to other robots.
-
-**What you'll learn**
-
-- Absolute vs. relative EE control: What each means, trade‑offs, and how to choose for your task.
-- Three-pipeline pattern: How to map teleop actions → dataset actions → robot commands, and robot observations → dataset observations.
-- Adapters (`to_transition` / `to_output`): How these convert raw dicts to `EnvTransition` and back to reduce boilerplate.
-- Dataset feature contracts: How steps declare features via `transform_features(...)`, and how to aggregate/merge them for recording.
-- Choosing a representation: When to store joints, absolute EE poses, or relative EE deltas—and how that affects training.
-- Pipeline customization guidance: How to swap robots/URDFs safely and tune bounds, step sizes, and options like IK initialization.
-
-### Absolute vs relative EE control
-
-The examples in this guide use absolute end effector (EE) poses because they are easy to reason about. In practice, relative EE deltas or joint position are often preferred as learning features.
-
-With processors, you choose the learning features you want to use for your policy. This could be joints positions/velocities, absolute EE, or relative EE positions. You can also choose to store other features, such as joint torques, motor currents, etc.
-
-## Three pipelines
-
-We often compose three pipelines. Depending on your setup, some can be empty if action and observation spaces already match.
-Each of these pipelines handle different conversions between different action and observation spaces. Below is a quick explanation of each pipeline.
-
-1. Pipeline 1: Teleop action space → dataset action space (phone pose → EE targets)
-2. Pipeline 2: Dataset action space → robot command space (EE targets → joints)
-3. Pipeline 3: Robot observation space → dataset observation space (joints → EE pose)
-
-Below is an example of the three pipelines that we use in the phone to SO-100 follower examples:
-
-```69:90:examples/phone_so100_record.py
-phone_to_robot_ee_pose_processor = RobotProcessorPipeline[RobotAction, RobotAction]( # teleop -> dataset action
-    steps=[
-        MapPhoneActionToRobotAction(platform=teleop_config.phone_os),
-        EEReferenceAndDelta(
-            kinematics=kinematics_solver, end_effector_step_sizes={"x": 0.5, "y": 0.5, "z": 0.5}, motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()),
-        ),
-        EEBoundsAndSafety(
-            end_effector_bounds={"min": [-1.0, -1.0, -1.0], "max": [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]}, max_ee_step_m=0.20, max_ee_twist_step_rad=0.50,
-        ),
-        GripperVelocityToJoint(),
-    ],
-    to_transition=robot_action_to_transition,
-    to_output=transition_to_robot_action,
-)
-
-robot_ee_to_joints_processor = RobotProcessorPipeline[RobotAction, RobotAction]( # dataset action -> robot
-    steps=[
-        InverseKinematicsEEToJoints(
-            kinematics=kinematics_solver, motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()), initial_guess_current_joints=True,
-        ),
-    ],
-    to_transition=robot_action_to_transition,
-    to_output=transition_to_robot_action,
-)
-
-robot_joints_to_ee_pose = RobotProcessorPipeline[RobotObservation, RobotObservation]( # robot obs -> dataset obs
-    steps=[
-        ForwardKinematicsJointsToEE(kinematics=kinematics_solver, motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()))
-    ],
-    to_transition=observation_to_transition,
-    to_output=transition_to_observation,
-)
-```
-
-## Why to_transition / to_output
-
-To convert from robot/teleoperator to pipeline and back, we use the `to_transition` and `to_output` pipeline adapters.
-They standardize conversions to reduce boilerplate code, and form the bridge between the robot and teleoperators raw dictionaries and the pipeline’s `EnvTransition` format.
-In the phone to SO-100 follower examples we use the following adapters:
-
-- `robot_action_to_transition`: transforms the teleop action dict to a pipeline transition.
-- `transition_to_robot_action`: transforms the pipeline transition to a robot action dict.
-- `observation_to_transition`: transforms the robot observation dict to a pipeline transition.
-- `transition_to_observation`: transforms the pipeline transition to a observation dict.
-
-Checkout [src/lerobot/processor/converters.py](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/processor/converters.py) for more details.
-
-## Dataset feature contracts
-
-Dataset features are determined by the keys saved in the dataset. Each step can declare what features it modifies in a contract called `transform_features(...)`. Once you build a processor, the processor can then aggregate all of these features with `aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features()` and merge multiple feature dicts with `combine_feature_dicts(...)`.
-
-Below is and example of how we declare features with the `transform_features` method in the phone to SO-100 follower examples:
-
-```src/lerobot/robots/so100_follower/robot_kinematic_processor.py
-    def transform_features(
-        self, features: dict[PipelineFeatureType, dict[str, PolicyFeature]]
-    ) -> dict[PipelineFeatureType, dict[str, PolicyFeature]]:
-        # We only use the ee pose in the dataset, so we don't need the joint positions
-        for n in self.motor_names:
-            features[PipelineFeatureType.ACTION].pop(f"{n}.pos", None)
-        # We specify the dataset features of this step that we want to be stored in the dataset
-        for k in ["x", "y", "z", "wx", "wy", "wz", "gripper_pos"]:
-            features[PipelineFeatureType.ACTION][f"ee.{k}"] = PolicyFeature(
-                type=FeatureType.STATE, shape=(1,)
-            )
-        return features
-```
-
-Here we declare what PolicyFeatures we modify in this step, so we know what features we can expect when we run the processor. These features can then be aggregated and used to create the dataset features.
-
-Below is an example of how we aggregate and merge features in the phone to SO-100 record example:
-
-```121:145:examples/phone_so100_record.py
-features=combine_feature_dicts(
-        # Run the feature contract of the pipelines
-        # This tells you how the features would look like after the pipeline steps
-        aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features(
-            pipeline=phone_to_robot_ee_pose_processor,
-            initial_features=create_initial_features(action=phone.action_features), # <- Action features we can expect, these come from our teleop device (phone) and action processor
-            use_videos=True,
-        ),
-        aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features(
-            pipeline=robot_joints_to_ee_pose,
-            initial_features=create_initial_features(observation=robot.observation_features), # <- Observation features we can expect, these come from our robot and observation processor
-            use_videos=True,
-            patterns=["observation.state.ee"], # <- Here you could optionally filter the features we want to store in the dataset, with a specific pattern
-
-        ),
-    ),
-```
-
-How it works:
-
-- `aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features(...)`: applies `transform_features` across the pipeline and filters by patterns (images included when `use_videos=True`, and state features included when `patterns` is specified).
-- `combine_feature_dicts(...)`: combine multiple feature dicts.
-- Recording with `record_loop(...)` uses `build_dataset_frame(...)` to build frames consistent with `dataset.features` before we call `add_frame(...)` to add the frame to the dataset.
-
-## Guidance when customizing robot pipelines
-
-You can store any of the following features as your action/observation space:
-
-- Joint positions
-- Absolute EE poses
-- Relative EE deltas
-- Other features: joint velocity, torques, etc.
-
-Pick what you want to use for your policy action and observation space and configure/modify the pipelines and steps accordingly.
-
-### Different robots
-
-- You can easily reuse pipelines, for example to use another robot with phone teleop, modify the examples and swap the robot `RobotKinematics` (URDF) and `motor_names` to use your own robot with Phone teleop. Additionally you should ensure `target_frame_name` points to your gripper/wrist.
-
-### Safety first
-
-- When changing pipelines, start with tight bounds, implement safety steps when working with real robots.
-- Its advised to start with simulation first and then move to real robots.
-
-Thats it! We hope this guide helps you get started with customizing your robot pipelines, If you run into any issues at any point, jump into our [Discord community](https://discord.com/invite/s3KuuzsPFb) for support.

-
-## Setup
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-- On your robot, check the **service images** meet the minimum versions:
-  - **reachy2-core >= 1.7.5.2**
-  - **webrtc >= 2.0.1.1**
-
-Then, if you want to use VR teleoperation:
-
-- Install the [Reachy 2 teleoperation application](https://docs.pollen-robotics.com/teleoperation/teleoperation-introduction/discover-teleoperation/).
-  Use version **>=v1.2.0**
-
-We recommend using two computers: one for teleoperation (Windows required) and another for recording with LeRobot.
-
-### Install LeRobot
-
-Follow the [installation instructions](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot#installation) to install LeRobot.
-
-Install LeRobot with Reachy 2 dependencies:
-
-```bash
-pip install -e ".[reachy2]"
-```
-
-### (Optional but recommended) Install pollen_data_acquisition_server
-
-How you manage Reachy 2 recording sessions is up to you, but the **easiest** way is to use this server so you can control sessions directly from the VR teleoperation app.
-
-> **Note:** Currently, only the VR teleoperation application works as a client for this server, so this step primarily targets teleoperation. You’re free to develop custom clients to manage sessions to your needs.
-
-In your LeRobot environment, install the server from source:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/pollen-robotics/pollen_data_acquisition_server.git
-cd pollen_data_acquisition_server
-pip install -e .
-```
-
-Find the [pollen_data_acquisition_server documentation here](https://github.com/pollen-robotics/pollen_data_acquisition_server).
-
-## Step 1: Recording
-
-### Get Reachy 2 IP address
-
-Before starting teleoperation and data recording, find the [robot's IP address](https://docs.pollen-robotics.com/getting-started/setup-reachy2/connect-reachy2/).
-We strongly recommend connecting all devices (PC and robot) via **Ethernet**.
-
-### Launch recording
-
-There are two ways to manage recording sessions when using the Reachy 2 VR teleoperation application:
-
-- **Using the data acquisition server (recommended for VR teleop)**: The VR app orchestrates sessions (via the server it tells LeRobot when to create datasets, start/stop episodes) while also controlling the robot’s motions.
-- **Using LeRobot’s record script**: LeRobot owns session control and decides when to start/stop episodes. If you also use the VR teleop app, it’s only for motion control.
-
-### Option 1: Using Pollen data acquisition server (recommended for VR teleop)
-
-Make sure you have installed pollen_data_acquisition_server, as explained in the Setup section.
-
-Launch the data acquisition server to be able to manage your session directly from the teleoperation application:
-
-```bash
-python -m pollen_data_acquisition_server.server
-```
-
-Then get into the teleoperation application and choose "Data acquisition session".
-You can finally setup your session by following the screens displayed.
-
-> Even without the VR app, you can use the `pollen_data_acquisition_server` with your own client implementation.
-
-### Option 2: Using lerobot.record
-
-Reachy 2 is fully supported by LeRobot’s recording features.
-If you choose this option but still want to use the VR teleoperation application, select "Standard session" in the app.
-
-**Example: start a recording without the mobile base:**
-First add reachy2 and reachy2_teleoperator to the imports of the record script. Then you can use the following command:
-
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.record \
-    --robot.type=reachy2 \
-    --robot.ip_address=192.168.0.200 \
-    --robot.id=r2-0000 \
-    --robot.use_external_commands=true \
-    --robot.with_mobile_base=false \
-    --teleop.type=reachy2_teleoperator \
-    --teleop.ip_address=192.168.0.200 \
-    --teleop.with_mobile_base=false \
-    --dataset.repo_id=pollen_robotics/record_test \
-    --dataset.single_task="Reachy 2 recording test" \
-    --dataset.num_episodes=1 \
-    --dataset.episode_time_s=5 \
-    --dataset.fps=15 \
-    --dataset.push_to_hub=true \
-    --dataset.private=true \
-    --display_data=true
-```
-
-#### Specific Options
-
-**Extended setup overview (all options included):**
-
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.record \
-    --robot.type=reachy2 \
-    --robot.ip_address=192.168.0.200 \
-    --robot.use_external_commands=true \
-    --robot.with_mobile_base=true \
-    --robot.with_l_arm=true \
-    --robot.with_r_arm=true \
-    --robot.with_neck=true \
-    --robot.with_antennas=true \
-    --robot.with_left_teleop_camera=true \
-    --robot.with_right_teleop_camera=true \
-    --robot.with_torso_camera=false \
-    --robot.disable_torque_on_disconnect=false \
-    --robot.max_relative_target=5.0 \
-    --teleop.type=reachy2_teleoperator \
-    --teleop.ip_address=192.168.0.200 \
-    --teleop.use_present_position=false \
-    --teleop.with_mobile_base=false \
-    --teleop.with_l_arm=true \
-    --teleop.with_r_arm=true \
-    --teleop.with_neck=true \
-    --teleop.with_antennas=true \
-    --dataset.repo_id=pollen_robotics/record_test \
-    --dataset.single_task="Reachy 2 recording test" \
-    --dataset.num_episodes=1 \
-    --dataset.episode_time_s=5 \
-    --dataset.fps=15 \
-    --dataset.push_to_hub=true \
-    --dataset.private=true \
-    --display_data=true
-```
-
-##### `--robot.use_external_commands`
-
-Determine whether LeRobot robot.send_action() sends commands to the robot.
-**Must** be set to false while using the VR teleoperation application, as the app already sends commands.
-
-##### `--teleop.use_present_position`
-
-Determine whether the teleoperator reads the goal or present position of the robot.
-Must be set to true if a compliant Reachy 2 is used to control another one.
-
-##### Use the relevant parts
-
-From our initial tests, recording **all** joints when only some are moving can reduce model quality with certain policies.
-To avoid this, you can exclude specific parts from recording and replay using:
-
-````
---robot.with_<part>=false
-```,
-with `<part>` being one of : `mobile_base`, `l_arm`, `r_arm", `neck`, `antennas`.
-It determine whether the corresponding part is recorded in the observations. True if not set.
-
-By default, **all parts are recorded**.
-
-The same per-part mechanism is available in `reachy2_teleoperator` as well.
-
-````
-
---teleop.with\_<part>
-
-```
-with `<part>` being one of : `mobile_base`, `l_arm`, `r_arm", `neck`, `antennas`.
-Determine whether the corresponding part is recorded in the actions. True if not set.
-
-> **Important:** In a given session, the **enabled parts must match** on both the robot and the teleoperator.
-For example, if the robot runs with `--robot.with_mobile_base=false`, the teleoperator must disable the same part `--teleoperator.with_mobile_base=false`.
-
-##### Use the relevant cameras
-
-You can do the same for **cameras**. By default, only the **teleoperation cameras** are recorded (both `left_teleop_camera` and `right_teleop_camera`). Enable or disable each camera with:
-
-```
-
---robot.with_left_teleop_camera=<true|false>
---robot.with_right_teleop_camera=<true|false>
---robot.with_torso_camera=<true|false>
-
-````
-
-
-## Step 2: Replay
-
-Make sure the robot is configured with the same parts as the dataset:
-
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.replay \
-    --robot.type=reachy2 \
-    --robot.ip_address=192.168.0.200 \
-    --robot.use_external_commands=false \
-    --robot.with_mobile_base=false \
-    --dataset.repo_id=pollen_robotics/record_test \
-    --dataset.episode=0
-    --display_data=true
-````
-
-## Step 3: Train
-
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.scripts.train \
-  --dataset.repo_id=pollen_robotics/record_test \
-  --policy.type=act \
-  --output_dir=outputs/train/reachy2_test \
-  --job_name=reachy2 \
-  --policy.device=mps \
-  --wandb.enable=true \
-  --policy.repo_id=pollen_robotics/record_test_policy
-```
-
-## Step 4: Evaluate
-
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.record \
-  --robot.type=reachy2 \
-  --robot.ip_address=192.168.0.200 \
-  --display_data=false \
-  --dataset.repo_id=pollen_robotics/eval_record_test \
-  --dataset.single_task="Evaluate reachy2 policy" \
-  --dataset.num_episodes=10 \
-  --policy.path=outputs/train/reachy2_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
-```

+This tutorial will explain the training script, how to use it, and particularly how to configure everything needed for the training run.
+
+> **Note:** The following assumes you're running these commands on a machine equipped with a cuda GPU. If you don't have one (or if you're using a Mac), you can add `--policy.device=cpu` (`--policy.device=mps` respectively). However, be advised that the code executes much slower on cpu.
+
+## The training script
+
+LeRobot offers a training script at [`lerobot/scripts/train.py`](../src/lerobot/scripts/train.py). At a high level it does the following:
+
+- Initialize/load a configuration for the following steps using.
+- Instantiates a dataset.
+- (Optional) Instantiates a simulation environment corresponding to that dataset.
+- Instantiates a policy.
+- Runs a standard training loop with forward pass, backward pass, optimization step, and occasional logging, evaluation (of the policy on the environment), and checkpointing.
+
+## Overview of the configuration system
+
+In the training script, the main function `train` expects a `TrainPipelineConfig` object:
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
+```python
+# train.py
+@parser.wrap()
+def train(cfg: TrainPipelineConfig):
+```
+<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
+
+You can inspect the `TrainPipelineConfig` defined in [`lerobot/configs/train.py`](../src/lerobot/configs/train.py) (which is heavily commented and meant to be a reference to understand any option)
+
+When running the script, inputs for the command line are parsed thanks to the `@parser.wrap()` decorator and an instance of this class is automatically generated. Under the hood, this is done with [Draccus](https://github.com/dlwh/draccus) which is a tool dedicated to this purpose. If you're familiar with Hydra, Draccus can similarly load configurations from config files (.json, .yaml) and also override their values through command line inputs. Unlike Hydra, these configurations are pre-defined in the code through dataclasses rather than being defined entirely in config files. This allows for more rigorous serialization/deserialization, typing, and to manipulate configuration as objects directly in the code and not as dictionaries or namespaces (which enables nice features in an IDE such as autocomplete, jump-to-def, etc.)
+
+Let's have a look at a simplified example. Amongst other attributes, the training config has the following attributes:
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
+```python
+@dataclass
+class TrainPipelineConfig:
+    dataset: DatasetConfig
+    env: envs.EnvConfig | None = None
+    policy: PreTrainedConfig | None = None
+```
+<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
+
+in which `DatasetConfig` for example is defined as such:
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
+```python
+@dataclass
+class DatasetConfig:
+    repo_id: str
+    episodes: list[int] | None = None
+    video_backend: str = "pyav"
+```
+<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
+
+This creates a hierarchical relationship where, for example assuming we have a `cfg` instance of `TrainPipelineConfig`, we can access the `repo_id` value with `cfg.dataset.repo_id`.
+From the command line, we can specify this value by using a very similar syntax `--dataset.repo_id=repo/id`.
+
+By default, every field takes its default value specified in the dataclass. If a field doesn't have a default value, it needs to be specified either from the command line or from a config file – which path is also given in the command line (more in this below). In the example above, the `dataset` field doesn't have a default value which means it must be specified.
+
+## Specifying values from the CLI
+
+Let's say that we want to train [Diffusion Policy](../src/lerobot/policies/diffusion) on the [pusht](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/pusht) dataset, using the [gym_pusht](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-pusht) environment for evaluation. The command to do so would look like this:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/pusht \
+    --policy.type=diffusion \
+    --env.type=pusht
+```
+
+Let's break this down:
+
+- To specify the dataset, we just need to specify its `repo_id` on the hub which is the only required argument in the `DatasetConfig`. The rest of the fields have default values and in this case we are fine with those so we can just add the option `--dataset.repo_id=lerobot/pusht`.
+- To specify the policy, we can just select diffusion policy using `--policy` appended with `.type`. Here, `.type` is a special argument which allows us to select config classes inheriting from `draccus.ChoiceRegistry` and that have been decorated with the `register_subclass()` method. To have a better explanation of this feature, have a look at this [Draccus demo](https://github.com/dlwh/draccus?tab=readme-ov-file#more-flexible-configuration-with-choice-types). In our code, we use this mechanism mainly to select policies, environments, robots, and some other components like optimizers. The policies available to select are located in [lerobot/policies](../src/lerobot/policies)
+- Similarly, we select the environment with `--env.type=pusht`. The different environment configs are available in [`lerobot/envs/configs.py`](../src/lerobot/envs/configs.py)
+
+Let's see another example. Let's say you've been training [ACT](../src/lerobot/policies/act) on [lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human) using the [gym-aloha](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-aloha) environment for evaluation with:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --policy.type=act \
+    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human \
+    --env.type=aloha \
+    --output_dir=outputs/train/act_aloha_insertion
+```
+
+> Notice we added `--output_dir` to explicitly tell where to write outputs from this run (checkpoints, training state, configs etc.). This is not mandatory and if you don't specify it, a default directory will be created from the current date and time, env.type and policy.type. This will typically look like `outputs/train/2025-01-24/16-10-05_aloha_act`.
+
+We now want to train a different policy for aloha on another task. We'll change the dataset and use [lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human) instead. Of course, we also need to change the task of the environment as well to match this other task.
+Looking at the [`AlohaEnv`](../src/lerobot/envs/configs.py) config, the task is `"AlohaInsertion-v0"` by default, which corresponds to the task we trained on in the command above. The [gym-aloha](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-aloha?tab=readme-ov-file#description) environment also has the `AlohaTransferCube-v0` task which corresponds to this other task we want to train on. Putting this together, we can train this new policy on this different task using:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --policy.type=act \
+    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human \
+    --env.type=aloha \
+    --env.task=AlohaTransferCube-v0 \
+    --output_dir=outputs/train/act_aloha_transfer
+```
+
+## Loading from a config file
+
+Now, let's assume that we want to reproduce the run just above. That run has produced a `train_config.json` file in its checkpoints, which serializes the `TrainPipelineConfig` instance it used:
+
+```json
+{
+    "dataset": {
+        "repo_id": "lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human",
+        "episodes": null,
+        ...
+    },
+    "env": {
+        "type": "aloha",
+        "task": "AlohaTransferCube-v0",
+        "fps": 50,
+        ...
+    },
+    "policy": {
+        "type": "act",
+        "n_obs_steps": 1,
+        ...
+    },
+    ...
+}
+```
+
+We can then simply load the config values from this file using:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --config_path=outputs/train/act_aloha_transfer/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model/ \
+    --output_dir=outputs/train/act_aloha_transfer_2
+```
+
+`--config_path` is also a special argument which allows to initialize the config from a local config file. It can point to a directory that contains `train_config.json` or to the config file itself directly.
+
+Similarly to Hydra, we can still override some parameters in the CLI if we want to, e.g.:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --config_path=outputs/train/act_aloha_transfer/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model/ \
+    --output_dir=outputs/train/act_aloha_transfer_2
+    --policy.n_action_steps=80
+```
+
+> Note: While `--output_dir` is not required in general, in this case we need to specify it since it will otherwise take the value from the `train_config.json` (which is `outputs/train/act_aloha_transfer`). In order to prevent accidental deletion of previous run checkpoints, we raise an error if you're trying to write in an existing directory. This is not the case when resuming a run, which is what you'll learn next.
+
+`--config_path` can also accept the repo_id of a repo on the hub that contains a `train_config.json` file, e.g. running:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train --config_path=lerobot/diffusion_pusht
+```
+
+will start a training run with the same configuration used for training [lerobot/diffusion_pusht](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/diffusion_pusht)
+
+## Resume training
+
+Being able to resume a training run is important in case it crashed or aborted for any reason. We'll demonstrate how to do that here.
+
+Let's reuse the command from the previous run and add a few more options:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --policy.type=act \
+    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human \
+    --env.type=aloha \
+    --env.task=AlohaTransferCube-v0 \
+    --log_freq=25 \
+    --save_freq=100 \
+    --output_dir=outputs/train/run_resumption
+```
+
+Here we've taken care to set up the log frequency and checkpointing frequency to low numbers so we can showcase resumption. You should be able to see some logging and have a first checkpoint within 1 minute (depending on hardware). Wait for the first checkpoint to happen, you should see a line that looks like this in your terminal:
+
+```
+INFO 2025-01-24 16:10:56 ts/train.py:263 Checkpoint policy after step 100
+```
+
+Now let's simulate a crash by killing the process (hit `ctrl`+`c`). We can then simply resume this run from the last checkpoint available with:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --config_path=outputs/train/run_resumption/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model/ \
+    --resume=true
+```
+
+You should see from the logging that your training picks up from where it left off.
+
+Another reason for which you might want to resume a run is simply to extend training and add more training steps. The number of training steps is set by the option `--steps`, which is 100 000 by default.
+You could double the number of steps of the previous run with:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --config_path=outputs/train/run_resumption/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model/ \
+    --resume=true \
+    --steps=200000
+```
+
+## Outputs of a run
+
+In the output directory, there will be a folder called `checkpoints` with the following structure:
+
+```bash
+outputs/train/run_resumption/checkpoints
+├── 000100  # checkpoint_dir for training step 100
+│   ├── pretrained_model/
+│   │   ├── config.json  # policy config
+│   │   ├── model.safetensors  # policy weights
+│   │   └── train_config.json  # train config
+│   └── training_state/
+│       ├── optimizer_param_groups.json  #  optimizer param groups
+│       ├── optimizer_state.safetensors  # optimizer state
+│       ├── rng_state.safetensors  # rng states
+│       ├── scheduler_state.json  # scheduler state
+│       └── training_step.json  # training step
+├── 000200
+└── last -> 000200  # symlink to the last available checkpoint
+```
+
+## Fine-tuning a pre-trained policy
+
+In addition to the features currently in Draccus, we've added a special `.path` argument for the policy, which allows to load a policy as you would with `PreTrainedPolicy.from_pretrained()`. In that case, `path` can be a local directory that contains a checkpoint or a repo_id pointing to a pretrained policy on the hub.
+
+For example, we could fine-tune a [policy pre-trained on the aloha transfer task](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/act_aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human) on the aloha insertion task. We can achieve this with:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --policy.path=lerobot/act_aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human \
+    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human \
+    --env.type=aloha \
+    --env.task=AlohaInsertion-v0
+```
+
+When doing so, keep in mind that the features of the fine-tuning dataset would have to match the input/output features of the pretrained policy.
+
+## Typical logs and metrics
+
+When you start the training process, you will first see your full configuration being printed in the terminal. You can check it to make sure that you configured your run correctly. The final configuration will also be saved with the checkpoint.
+
+After that, you will see training log like this one:
+
+```
+INFO 2024-08-14 13:35:12 ts/train.py:192 step:0 smpl:64 ep:1 epch:0.00 loss:1.112 grdn:15.387 lr:2.0e-07 updt_s:1.738 data_s:4.774
+```
+
+or evaluation log:
+
+```
+INFO 2024-08-14 13:38:45 ts/train.py:226 step:100 smpl:6K ep:52 epch:0.25 ∑rwrd:20.693 success:0.0% eval_s:120.266
+```
+
+These logs will also be saved in wandb if `wandb.enable` is set to `true`. Here are the meaning of some abbreviations:
+
+- `smpl`: number of samples seen during training.
+- `ep`: number of episodes seen during training. An episode contains multiple samples in a complete manipulation task.
+- `epch`: number of time all unique samples are seen (epoch).
+- `grdn`: gradient norm.
+- `∑rwrd`: compute the sum of rewards in every evaluation episode and then take an average of them.
+- `success`: average success rate of eval episodes. Reward and success are usually different except for the sparsing reward setting, where reward=1 only when the task is completed successfully.
+- `eval_s`: time to evaluate the policy in the environment, in second.
+- `updt_s`: time to update the network parameters, in second.
+- `data_s`: time to load a batch of data, in second.
+
+Some metrics are useful for initial performance profiling. For example, if you find the current GPU utilization is low via the `nvidia-smi` command and `data_s` sometimes is too high, you may need to modify batch size or number of dataloading workers to accelerate dataloading. We also recommend [pytorch profiler](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot?tab=readme-ov-file#improve-your-code-with-profiling) for detailed performance probing.
+
+## In short
+
+We'll summarize here the main use cases to remember from this tutorial.
+
+#### Train a policy from scratch – CLI
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --policy.type=act \  # <- select 'act' policy
+    --env.type=pusht \  # <- select 'pusht' environment
+    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/pusht  # <- train on this dataset
+```
+
+#### Train a policy from scratch - config file + CLI
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --config_path=path/to/pretrained_model \  # <- can also be a repo_id
+    --policy.n_action_steps=80  # <- you may still override values
+```
+
+#### Resume/continue a training run
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --config_path=checkpoint/pretrained_model/ \
+    --resume=true \
+    --steps=200000  # <- you can change some training parameters
+```
+
+#### Fine-tuning
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --policy.path=lerobot/act_aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human \  # <- can also be a local path to a checkpoint
+    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human \
+    --env.type=aloha \
+    --env.task=AlohaInsertion-v0
+```
+
+---
+
+Now that you know the basics of how to train a policy, you might want to know how to apply this knowledge to actual robots, or how to record your own datasets and train policies on your specific task?
+If that's the case, head over to the next tutorial [`7_get_started_with_real_robot.md`](./7_get_started_with_real_robot.md).
+
+Or in the meantime, happy training! 🤗

-
-    This class extends LeRobotDataset to add streaming functionality, allowing data to be streamed
-    rather than loaded entirely into memory. This is especially useful for large datasets that may
-    not fit in memory or when you want to quickly explore a dataset without downloading it completely.
-
-    The key innovation is using a Backtrackable iterator that maintains a bounded buffer of recent
-    items, allowing us to access previous frames for delta timestamps without loading the entire
-    dataset into memory.

-        Basic usage:
-        ```python
-        from lerobot.common.datasets.streaming_dataset import StreamingLeRobotDataset
-
-        # Create a streaming dataset with delta timestamps
-        delta_timestamps = {

-            "action": [0.0, 0.1, 0.2],  # current, 0.1 sec future, 0.2 sec future
