+# AI Usage Policy
+
+The LeRobot project welcomes contributions from everyone, and we have a few guidelines regarding AI usage to ensure high code quality, clear communication, and a healthy open-source ecosystem:
+
+- **Please disclose significant AI assistance.** If you used AI tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT) to generate a substantial portion of your code or text, let us know in your PR description. Transparency helps us review your changes more effectively.
+- **Own your code (The Human-in-the-Loop).** You must fully understand all the changes you are proposing. If you cannot explain what your AI-assisted code does or how it interacts with LeRobot's broader architecture, please take the time to learn and test it before submitting.
+- **Keep issues and discussions focused.** You are welcome to use AI to help draft issues or PR descriptions, but please review and edit them carefully before posting. AI can often be overly verbose; trimming the noise and getting straight to the point helps our maintainers address your needs faster.
+
+Our core maintainers also use AI tools to aid their workflows, but they do so while bringing deep contextual knowledge of the LeRobot codebase to validate the output. We ask all contributors to apply that same level of rigor.
+
+## Remember the Human Maintainers
+
+Please remember that LeRobot is maintained by a dedicated team of humans.
+
+Every discussion, issue, and pull request is read and reviewed by real people. While AI tools can generate thousands of lines of code in seconds, reviewing that code still takes human time and energy. Submitting unverified or low-effort AI output puts an unfair burden on our maintainers.
+
+Today, the quality of the AI output still heavily depends on the developer driving the tool. We ask that you respect our maintainers' time by thoroughly vetting, testing, and refining your submissions.
+
+## AI is Welcome Here
+
+LeRobot operates at the cutting edge of AI and robotics, and many of our maintainers actively embrace AI coding assistants as valuable productivity tools. We are a pro-AI project!
+
+Our reason for having an AI policy is not an anti-AI stance. Rather, it exists to ensure that AI is used to enhance human contributions, not replace them with unverified noise. It's about how the tools are used, not the tools themselves.
+
+We value the unique human insight you bring to the LeRobot community. Let AI empower your workflow, but always let your own judgment take the wheel.

-# Human-In-the-Loop Data Collection
-
-Human-In-the-Loop (HIL) data collection lets you improve a trained policy by deploying it on a real robot while a human operator monitors and intervenes when needed. The intervention data — recovery movements and corrections — is recorded alongside autonomous segments, producing a richer training dataset that teaches the policy how to handle failures.
-
----
-
-## Why Human-In-the-Loop?
-
-Standard behavioral cloning trains policies on successful demonstrations only. During deployment, small errors can compound and push the robot into states never seen during training (distribution shift). HIL data collection addresses this by:
-
-- Running the trained policy on the real robot
-- Having a human intervene when the robot is about to fail
-- Recording the human's recovery and correction as training data
-- Fine-tuning the policy on the combined dataset
-
-This produces a policy that not only knows how to perform the task, but also how to recover when things go wrong.
-
----
-
-## How It Works
-
-During a HIL session, the human operator follows this loop within each episode:
-
-1. **Watch** the policy run autonomously
-2. **Pause** when failure is imminent — the robot holds its position
-3. **Take control** — teleoperate the robot back to a good state (recovery), then correct the behavior
-4. **Return control to the policy** — the policy resumes autonomous execution
-5. Repeat steps 2–4 as many times as needed during the episode
-6. **End the episode** when the task is complete, save and move on to the next rollout
-
-Both autonomous and human-controlled segments are recorded. The policy and human can alternate control multiple times within a single episode, and the episode continues from the current state after each handoff (no reset required just because intervention happened). This captures autonomous execution, recovery, and correction in one continuous trajectory. After collection, the combined dataset (original demonstrations + HIL data) is used to fine-tune the policy.
-
-This process can be repeated iteratively: deploy, collect, fine-tune, repeat — each round targeting the current policy's failure modes.
-

-## Hardware Requirements
-
-### Teleoperator Requirements
-
-The HIL data collection scripts require **teleoperators with active motors** that can:
-
-- Enable/disable torque programmatically
-- Move to target positions (to mirror the robot state when pausing)
-
-**Compatible teleoperators:**
-
-- `so101_leader` - SO-101 Leader Arm
-- `openarms_mini` - OpenArms Mini (via third-party plugin)

-## Step-by-Step Guide
-
-### Step 1: Pre-train a Base Policy
-
-First, train a policy on your demonstration dataset:
-
-```bash
-python src/lerobot/scripts/lerobot_train.py \
-    --dataset.repo_id=your-username/demo-dataset \
-    --policy.type=pi0 \
-    --output_dir=outputs/pretrain \
-    --batch_size=32 \
-    --steps=50000
-```
-
-### Step 2: Collect HIL Data
-
-**Standard inference (ACT, Diffusion Policy):**
-
-```bash
-python examples/rac/hil_data_collection.py \
-    --robot.type=so100_follower \
-    --robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431541 \
-    --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
-    --teleop.type=so100_leader \
-    --teleop.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431551 \
-    --policy.path=outputs/pretrain/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model \
-    --dataset.repo_id=your-username/hil-dataset \
-    --dataset.single_task="Pick up the cube and place it in the bowl" \
-    --dataset.num_episodes=50
-```
-
-**With RTC for large models (Pi0, Pi0.5, SmolVLA):**
-
-For models with high inference latency, use the RTC script for smooth execution:
-
-```bash
-python examples/rac/hil_data_collection_rtc.py \
-    --robot.type=so100_follower \
-    --teleop.type=so100_leader \
-    --policy.path=outputs/pretrain/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model \
-    --dataset.repo_id=your-username/hil-rtc-dataset \
-    --dataset.single_task="Pick up the cube" \
-    --rtc.execution_horizon=20 \
-    --interpolation=true
-```
-
-**Controls (Conceptual):**
-
-The interaction model is:
-
-- **Pause input**: pause autonomous policy execution
-- **Takeover input**: transfer control to the human operator and record intervention data
-- **Return-to-policy input**: hand control back to the policy and continue the same episode
-- **Episode control inputs**: save/re-record/stop/reset as needed
-
-Exact key/pedal bindings can differ across scripts and hardware integrations. Use each script's printed controls as the source of truth for the concrete mapping on your setup.
-
-**The HIL Protocol:**
-
-1. Watch the policy run autonomously (teleop is idle/free)
-2. When you see imminent failure, trigger the **pause input**
-   - Policy stops
-   - Teleoperator moves to match robot position (torque enabled)
-   - No frames recorded during pause
-3. Trigger the **takeover input** to take control
-   - Teleoperator torque disabled, free to move
-   - **Recovery**: Teleoperate the robot back to a good state
-   - **Correction**: Correct the behavior
-   - All movements are recorded
-4. Trigger the **return-to-policy input**
-   - Policy resumes autonomous execution from the current state
-   - You can intervene again at any time (repeat steps 2–4)
-5. End and save the episode when the task is complete (or episode time limit is reached)
-6. **Reset**: Teleop moves to robot position, you can move the robot to the starting position
-7. Start the next episode
-
-**Foot Pedal Setup (Linux):**
-
-If using a USB foot pedal (PCsensor FootSwitch), ensure access:
-
-```bash
-sudo setfacl -m u:$USER:rw /dev/input/by-id/usb-PCsensor_FootSwitch-event-kbd
-```
-
-### Step 3: Fine-tune the Policy
-
-Fine-tune on the combined demonstration + HIL data:
-
-```bash
-python src/lerobot/scripts/lerobot_train.py \
-    --dataset.repo_id=your-username/hil-dataset \
-    --policy.type=pi0 \
-    --policy.pretrained_path=outputs/pretrain/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model \
-    --output_dir=outputs/hil_finetune \
-    --steps=20000
-```
-
-Then deploy the fine-tuned policy and repeat from Step 2 to target its remaining failure modes.

-## Tips for Effective HIL Collection
-
-### When to Intervene
-
-Intervene when you see:
-
-- Robot about to make an irreversible mistake
-- Robot hesitating or showing uncertain behavior
-- Robot deviating from the expected trajectory
-
-### Recovery: Teleoperating Back to a Good State
-
-During recovery, teleoperate the robot back to a state where:
-
-- The robot is in a familiar, in-distribution configuration
-- The current subtask can still be completed
-- The recovery trajectory itself is informative training data
-
-### Quality of Corrections
-
-During correction:
-
-- Provide **confident, clean** trajectories
-- Complete the current subtask fully
-- Don't overcorrect or add unnecessary movements
-

-This HIL data collection approach builds on ideas from interactive imitation learning, including DAgger (Ross et al., 2011), HG-DAgger (Kelly et al., 2019), RaC (Hu et al., 2025), and RECAP (Physical Intelligence, 2025). See those works for a deeper treatment of the theory behind human-in-the-loop policy improvement.

-"""
-Human-in-the-Loop (HIL) Data Collection with Policy Rollout.
-
-Implements the RaC paradigm (Hu et al., 2025) for LeRobot with standard synchronous
-inference. For large models with high inference latency, use hil_data_collection_rtc.py.
-
-The workflow:
-1. Policy runs autonomously
-2. Press SPACE to pause - robot holds position
-3. Press 'c' to take control - human provides RECOVERY + CORRECTION
-4. Press → to end episode (save and continue to next)
-5. Reset, then do next rollout
-
-Keyboard Controls:
-    SPACE  - Pause policy (robot holds position, no recording)
-    c      - Take control (start correction, recording resumes)
-    →      - End episode (save and continue to next)
-    ←      - Re-record episode
-    ESC    - Stop recording and push dataset to hub
-
-Usage:
-    python examples/rac/hil_data_collection.py \
-        --robot.type=so100_follower \
-        --robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431541 \
-        --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
-        --teleop.type=so100_leader \
-        --teleop.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431551 \
-        --policy.path=outputs/train/my_policy/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model \
-        --dataset.repo_id=my_user/hil_dataset \
-        --dataset.single_task="Pick up the cube"

-"""
-Human-in-the-Loop (HIL) Data Collection with Real-Time Chunking (RTC).
-
-Implements the RaC paradigm (Hu et al., 2025) with RTC for large flow-matching models
-(Pi0, Pi0.5, SmolVLA) that have high inference latency. RTC generates action chunks
-asynchronously in a background thread for smooth robot control.
-
-For fast models (ACT, Diffusion), use hil_data_collection.py instead.
-
-The workflow:
-1. Policy runs autonomously with RTC
-2. Press SPACE to pause - robot holds position
-3. Press 'c' to take control - human provides RECOVERY + CORRECTION
-4. Press → to end episode (save and continue to next)
-5. Reset, then do next rollout
-
-Keyboard Controls:
-    SPACE  - Pause policy (robot holds position, no recording)
-    c      - Take control (start correction, recording resumes)
-    →      - End episode (save and continue to next)
-    ←      - Re-record episode
-    ESC    - Stop recording and push dataset to hub
-
-Usage:
-    python examples/rac/hil_data_collection_rtc.py \
-        --robot.type=so100_follower \
-        --robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431541 \
