fix(profiling): address review feedback

Eliminates a no-op tensor rebind inside the image-preprocessing loop.
Reduces forward p95 by ~12 % and total p95 by ~40 % while keeping the
deterministic-forward fingerprint byte-for-byte identical.

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

+LIBERO-plus is a **robustness benchmark** for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models built on top of [LIBERO](./libero). It systematically stress-tests policies by applying **seven independent perturbation dimensions** to the original LIBERO task set, exposing failure modes that standard benchmarks miss.

+
+![An overview of the LIBERO-plus benchmark perturbation dimensions](https://github.com/sylvestf/LIBERO-plus/raw/main/static/images/libero-plus.jpg)
+
+## Perturbation dimensions
+
+LIBERO-plus creates ~10 000 task variants by perturbing each original LIBERO task along these axes:
+
+| Dimension             | What changes                                          |
+| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| Objects layout        | Target position, presence of confounding objects      |
+| Camera viewpoints     | Camera position, orientation, field-of-view           |
+| Robot initial states  | Manipulator start pose                                |
+| Language instructions | LLM-rewritten task description (paraphrase / synonym) |
+| Light conditions      | Intensity, direction, color, shadow                   |
+| Background textures   | Scene surface and object appearance                   |
+| Sensor noise          | Photometric distortions and image degradation         |
+
+## Available task suites
+
+LIBERO-plus covers the same five suites as LIBERO:
+
+| Suite          | CLI name         | Tasks | Max steps | Description                                        |
+| -------------- | ---------------- | ----- | --------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
+| LIBERO-Spatial | `libero_spatial` | 10    | 280       | Tasks requiring reasoning about spatial relations  |
+| LIBERO-Object  | `libero_object`  | 10    | 280       | Tasks centered on manipulating different objects   |
+| LIBERO-Goal    | `libero_goal`    | 10    | 300       | Goal-conditioned tasks with changing targets       |
+| LIBERO-90      | `libero_90`      | 90    | 400       | Short-horizon tasks from the LIBERO-100 collection |
+| LIBERO-Long    | `libero_10`      | 10    | 520       | Long-horizon tasks from the LIBERO-100 collection  |
+
+<Tip warning={true}>
+  Installing LIBERO-plus **replaces** vanilla LIBERO — it uninstalls `hf-libero`
+  so that `import libero` resolves to the LIBERO-plus fork. You cannot have both
+  installed at the same time. To switch back to vanilla LIBERO, uninstall the
+  fork and reinstall with `pip install -e ".[libero]"`.
+</Tip>
+
+## Installation
+
+### System dependencies (Linux only)
+
+```bash
+sudo apt install libexpat1 libfontconfig1-dev libmagickwand-dev
+```
+
+### Python package
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[libero]" "robosuite==1.4.1" bddl easydict mujoco wand scikit-image gym
+git clone https://github.com/sylvestf/LIBERO-plus.git
+cd LIBERO-plus && pip install --no-deps -e .
+pip uninstall -y hf-libero  # so `import libero` resolves to the fork
+```
+
+LIBERO-plus is installed from its GitHub fork rather than a pyproject extra — the fork ships as a namespace package that pip can't handle, so it must be cloned and added to `PYTHONPATH`. See `docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.libero_plus` for the canonical install. MuJoCo is required, so only Linux is supported.
+
+<Tip>
+Set the MuJoCo rendering backend before running evaluation:
+
+```bash
+export MUJOCO_GL=egl   # headless / HPC / cloud
+```
+
+</Tip>
+
+### Download LIBERO-plus assets
+
+LIBERO-plus ships its extended asset pack separately. Download `assets.zip` from the [Hugging Face dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Sylvest/LIBERO-plus/tree/main) and extract it into the LIBERO-plus package directory:
+
+```bash
+# After installing the package, find where it was installed:
+python -c "import libero; print(libero.__file__)"
+# Then extract assets.zip into <package_root>/libero/assets/
+```
+
+## Evaluation
+
+### Default evaluation (recommended)
+
+Evaluate across the four standard suites (10 episodes per task):
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=libero_plus \
+  --env.task=libero_spatial,libero_object,libero_goal,libero_10 \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+  --env.max_parallel_tasks=1
+```
+
+### Single-suite evaluation
+
+Evaluate on one LIBERO-plus suite:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=libero_plus \
+  --env.task=libero_spatial \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10
+```
+
+- `--env.task` picks the suite (`libero_spatial`, `libero_object`, etc.).
+- `--env.task_ids` restricts to specific task indices (`[0]`, `[1,2,3]`, etc.). Omit to run all tasks in the suite.
+- `--eval.batch_size` controls how many environments run in parallel.
+- `--eval.n_episodes` sets how many episodes to run per task.
+
+### Multi-suite evaluation
+
+Benchmark a policy across multiple suites at once by passing a comma-separated list:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=libero_plus \
+  --env.task=libero_spatial,libero_object \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10
+```
+
+### Control mode
+
+LIBERO-plus supports two control modes — `relative` (default) and `absolute`. Different VLA checkpoints are trained with different action parameterizations, so make sure the mode matches your policy:
+
+```bash
+--env.control_mode=relative   # or "absolute"
+```
+
+### Policy inputs and outputs
+
+**Observations:**
+
+- `observation.state` — 8-dim proprioceptive features (eef position, axis-angle orientation, gripper qpos)
+- `observation.images.image` — main camera view (`agentview_image`), HWC uint8
+- `observation.images.image2` — wrist camera view (`robot0_eye_in_hand_image`), HWC uint8
+
+**Actions:**
+
+- Continuous control in `Box(-1, 1, shape=(7,))` — 6D end-effector delta + 1D gripper
+
+### Recommended evaluation episodes
+
+For reproducible benchmarking, use **10 episodes per task** across all four standard suites (Spatial, Object, Goal, Long). This gives 400 total episodes and matches the protocol used for published results.
+
+## Training
+
+### Dataset
+
+A LeRobot-format training dataset for LIBERO-plus is available at:
+
+- [lerobot/libero_plus](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/libero_plus)
+
+### Example training command
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --policy.type=smolvla \
+    --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/smolvla_libero_plus \
+    --policy.load_vlm_weights=true \
+    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/libero_plus \
+    --env.type=libero_plus \
+    --env.task=libero_spatial \
+    --output_dir=./outputs/ \
+    --steps=100000 \
+    --batch_size=4 \
+    --eval.batch_size=1 \
+    --eval.n_episodes=1 \
+    --eval_freq=1000
+```
+
+## Relationship to LIBERO
+
+LIBERO-plus is a drop-in extension of LIBERO:
+
+- Same Python gym interface (`LiberoEnv`, `LiberoProcessorStep`)
+- Same camera names and observation/action format
+- Same task suite names
+- Installs under the same `libero` Python package name (different GitHub repo)
+
+To use the original LIBERO benchmark, see [LIBERO](./libero) and use `--env.type=libero`.

+**Composite task categories:** baking, boiling, brewing, chopping, clearing table, defrosting food, loading dishwasher, making tea, microwaving food, washing dishes, and more.
+
+`--env.task` accepts three forms:
+
+- a single task name (`CloseFridge`)
+- a comma-separated list (`CloseFridge,OpenBlenderLid,PickPlaceCoffee`)
+- a benchmark-group shortcut — `atomic_seen`, `composite_seen`, `composite_unseen`, `pretrain50`, `pretrain100`, `pretrain200`, `pretrain300` — which auto-expands to the upstream task list and auto-sets the dataset `split` (`target` or `pretrain`).
+
+## Installation
+
+RoboCasa and its dependency `robosuite` are not published on PyPI, and RoboCasa's own `setup.py` hardcodes `lerobot==0.3.3`, which conflicts with this repo's `lerobot`. LeRobot therefore does **not** expose a `robocasa` extra — install the two packages manually as editable clones (using `--no-deps` on `robocasa` to skip its shadowed `lerobot` pin):
+
+```bash
+# After following the standard LeRobot installation instructions.
+
+git clone https://github.com/robocasa/robocasa.git ~/robocasa
+git clone https://github.com/ARISE-Initiative/robosuite.git ~/robosuite
+pip install -e ~/robocasa --no-deps
+pip install -e ~/robosuite
+
+# Robocasa's runtime deps (the ones its setup.py would have pulled, minus
+# the bad lerobot pin).
+pip install numpy numba scipy mujoco pygame Pillow opencv-python \
+            pyyaml pynput tqdm termcolor imageio h5py lxml hidapi \
+            tianshou gymnasium
+
+python -m robocasa.scripts.setup_macros
+# Lightweight assets (lightwheel object meshes + textures). Enough for
+# the default env out of the box.
+python -m robocasa.scripts.download_kitchen_assets \
+  --type tex tex_generative fixtures_lw objs_lw
+# Optional: full objaverse/aigen registries (~30GB) for richer object
+# variety. Enable at eval time via --env.obj_registries (see below).
+# python -m robocasa.scripts.download_kitchen_assets --type objs_objaverse
+```
+
+<Tip>
+RoboCasa requires MuJoCo. Set the rendering backend before training or evaluation:
+
+```bash
+export MUJOCO_GL=egl  # for headless servers (HPC, cloud)
+```
+
+</Tip>
+
+### Object registries
+
+By default the env samples objects only from the `lightwheel` registry (what `--type objs_lw` ships), which avoids a `Probabilities contain NaN` crash when the objaverse / aigen packs aren't on disk. If you've downloaded the full asset set, enable the full registry at runtime:
+
+```bash
+--env.obj_registries='[objaverse,lightwheel]'
+```
+
+## Evaluation
+
+All eval snippets below mirror the CI command (see `.github/workflows/benchmark_tests.yml`). The `--rename_map` argument maps RoboCasa's native camera keys (`robot0_agentview_left` / `robot0_eye_in_hand` / `robot0_agentview_right`) onto the three-camera (`camera1` / `camera2` / `camera3`) input layout the released `smolvla_robocasa` policy was trained on.
+
+### Single-task evaluation (recommended for quick iteration)
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_robocasa \
+  --env.type=robocasa \
+  --env.task=CloseFridge \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=20 \
+  --eval.use_async_envs=false \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  '--rename_map={"observation.images.robot0_agentview_left": "observation.images.camera1", "observation.images.robot0_eye_in_hand": "observation.images.camera2", "observation.images.robot0_agentview_right": "observation.images.camera3"}'
+```
+
+### Multi-task evaluation
+
+Pass a comma-separated list of tasks:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_robocasa \
+  --env.type=robocasa \
+  --env.task=CloseFridge,OpenCabinet,OpenDrawer,TurnOnMicrowave,TurnOffStove \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=20 \
+  --eval.use_async_envs=false \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  '--rename_map={"observation.images.robot0_agentview_left": "observation.images.camera1", "observation.images.robot0_eye_in_hand": "observation.images.camera2", "observation.images.robot0_agentview_right": "observation.images.camera3"}'
+```
+
+### Benchmark-group evaluation
+
+Run an entire upstream group (e.g. all 18 `atomic_seen` tasks with `split=target`):
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_robocasa \
+  --env.type=robocasa \
+  --env.task=atomic_seen \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=20 \
+  --eval.use_async_envs=false \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  '--rename_map={"observation.images.robot0_agentview_left": "observation.images.camera1", "observation.images.robot0_eye_in_hand": "observation.images.camera2", "observation.images.robot0_agentview_right": "observation.images.camera3"}'
+```
+
+### Recommended evaluation episodes
+
+**20 episodes per task** for reproducible benchmarking. Matches the protocol used in published results.
+
+## Policy inputs and outputs
+
+**Observations** (raw RoboCasa camera names are preserved verbatim):
+
+- `observation.state` — 16-dim proprioceptive state (base position, base quaternion, relative end-effector position, relative end-effector quaternion, gripper qpos)
+- `observation.images.robot0_agentview_left` — left agent view, 256×256 HWC uint8
+- `observation.images.robot0_eye_in_hand` — wrist camera view, 256×256 HWC uint8
+- `observation.images.robot0_agentview_right` — right agent view, 256×256 HWC uint8
+
+**Actions:**
+
+- Continuous control in `Box(-1, 1, shape=(12,))` — base motion (4D) + control mode (1D) + end-effector position (3D) + end-effector rotation (3D) + gripper (1D).
+
+## Training
+
+### Single-task example
+
+A ready-to-use single-task dataset is on the Hub:
+[`pepijn223/robocasa_CloseFridge`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/pepijn223/robocasa_CloseFridge).
+
+Fine-tune a SmolVLA base on `CloseFridge`:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.type=smolvla \
+  --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/smolvla_robocasa_CloseFridge \
+  --policy.load_vlm_weights=true \
+  --policy.push_to_hub=true \
+  --dataset.repo_id=pepijn223/robocasa_CloseFridge \
+  --env.type=robocasa \
+  --env.task=CloseFridge \
+  --output_dir=./outputs/smolvla_robocasa_CloseFridge \
+  --steps=100000 \
+  --batch_size=4 \
+  --eval_freq=5000 \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=5 \
+  --save_freq=10000
+```
+
+Evaluate the resulting checkpoint:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=${HF_USER}/smolvla_robocasa_CloseFridge \
+  --env.type=robocasa \
+  --env.task=CloseFridge \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=20
+```
+
+## Reproducing published results
+
+The released checkpoint [`lerobot/smolvla_robocasa`](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/smolvla_robocasa) is evaluated with the commands in the [Evaluation](#evaluation) section. CI runs a 10-atomic-task smoke eval (one episode each) on every PR touching the benchmark, picking fixture-centric tasks that don't require the objaverse asset pack.

+# RoboCerebra
+
+[RoboCerebra](https://robocerebra-project.github.io/) is a long-horizon manipulation benchmark that evaluates **high-level reasoning, planning, and memory** in VLAs. Episodes chain multiple sub-goals with language-grounded intermediate instructions, built on top of LIBERO's simulator stack (MuJoCo + robosuite, Franka Panda 7-DOF).
+
+- Paper: [RoboCerebra: A Large-scale Benchmark for Long-horizon Robotic Manipulation Evaluation](https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.06677)
+- Project website: [robocerebra-project.github.io](https://robocerebra-project.github.io/)
+- Dataset: [`lerobot/robocerebra_unified`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/robocerebra_unified) — LeRobot v3.0, 6,660 episodes / 571,116 frames at 20 fps, 1,728 language-grounded sub-tasks.
+- Pretrained policy: [`lerobot/smolvla_robocerebra`](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/smolvla_robocerebra)
+
+## Available tasks
+
+RoboCerebra reuses LIBERO's simulator, so evaluation runs against the LIBERO `libero_10` long-horizon suite:
+
+| Suite     | CLI name    | Tasks | Description                                                   |
+| --------- | ----------- | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| LIBERO-10 | `libero_10` | 10    | Long-horizon kitchen/living room tasks chaining 3–6 sub-goals |
+
+Each RoboCerebra episode in the dataset is segmented into multiple sub-tasks with natural-language instructions, which the unified dataset exposes as independent supervision signals.
+
+## Installation
+
+RoboCerebra piggybacks on LIBERO, so the `libero` extra is all you need:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[libero]"
+```
+
+<Tip>
+RoboCerebra requires Linux (MuJoCo / robosuite). Set the rendering backend before training or evaluation:
+
+```bash
+export MUJOCO_GL=egl  # for headless servers (HPC, cloud)
+```
+
+</Tip>
+
+## Evaluation
+
+RoboCerebra eval runs against LIBERO's `libero_10` suite with RoboCerebra's camera naming (`image` + `wrist_image`) and an extra empty-camera slot so a three-view-trained policy receives the expected input layout:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_robocerebra \
+  --env.type=libero \
+  --env.task=libero_10 \
+  --env.fps=20 \
+  --env.obs_type=pixels_agent_pos \
+  --env.observation_height=256 \
+  --env.observation_width=256 \
+  '--env.camera_name_mapping={"agentview_image": "image", "robot0_eye_in_hand_image": "wrist_image"}' \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+  --eval.use_async_envs=false \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  '--rename_map={"observation.images.image": "observation.images.camera1", "observation.images.wrist_image": "observation.images.camera2"}' \
+  --policy.empty_cameras=1
+```
+
+### Recommended evaluation episodes
+
+**10 episodes per task** across the `libero_10` suite (100 total) for reproducible benchmarking. Matches the protocol used in the RoboCerebra paper.
+
+## Policy inputs and outputs
+
+**Observations:**
+
+- `observation.state` — 8-dim proprioceptive state (7 joint positions + gripper)
+- `observation.images.image` — third-person view, 256×256 HWC uint8
+- `observation.images.wrist_image` — wrist-mounted camera view, 256×256 HWC uint8
+
+**Actions:**
+
+- Continuous control in `Box(-1, 1, shape=(7,))` — end-effector delta (6D) + gripper (1D)
+
+## Training
+
+The unified dataset at [`lerobot/robocerebra_unified`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/robocerebra_unified) exposes two RGB streams and language-grounded sub-task annotations:
+
+| Feature                          | Shape         | Description          |
+| -------------------------------- | ------------- | -------------------- |

+| `observation.images.wrist_image` | (256, 256, 3) | Wrist-mounted camera |
+| `observation.state`              | (8,)          | Joint pos + gripper  |
+| `action`                         | (7,)          | EEF delta + gripper  |
+
+Fine-tune a SmolVLA base on it:

+- **Dataset**: [`lerobot/robomme`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/robomme) — LeRobot v3.0, 768K frames at 10 fps
+- **Simulator**: ManiSkill / SAPIEN, Panda arm, Linux only
+
+![RoboMME benchmark tasks overview](https://cdn-thumbnails.huggingface.co/social-thumbnails/papers/2603.04639/gradient.png)
+
+## Tasks
+
+| Suite                             | Tasks                                                         |

+| **Permanence** (spatial memory)   | VideoUnmask, VideoUnmaskSwap, ButtonUnmask, ButtonUnmaskSwap  |
+| **Reference** (object memory)     | PickHighlight, VideoRepick, VideoPlaceButton, VideoPlaceOrder |
+| **Imitation** (procedural memory) | MoveCube, InsertPeg, PatternLock, RouteStick                  |
+
+## Installation
+
+> RoboMME requires **Linux** (ManiSkill/SAPIEN uses Vulkan rendering). Docker is recommended to isolate dependency conflicts.
+
+### Native (Linux)
+
+```bash
+pip install --override <(printf 'gymnasium==0.29.1\nnumpy==1.26.4\n') \
+  -e '.[smolvla,av-dep]' \
+  'robomme @ git+https://github.com/RoboMME/robomme_benchmark.git@main'
+```
+
+> **Dependency note**: `mani-skill` (pulled by `robomme`) pins `gymnasium==0.29.1` and `numpy<2.0.0`, which conflict with lerobot's base `numpy>=2.0.0`. That's why `robomme` is not a pyproject extra — use the override install above, or the Docker approach below to avoid conflicts entirely.
+
+### Docker (recommended)
+
+```bash
+# Build base image first (from repo root)
+docker build -f docker/Dockerfile.eval-base -t lerobot-eval-base .
+
+# Build RoboMME eval image (applies gymnasium + numpy pin overrides)
+docker build -f docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.robomme -t lerobot-robomme .
+```
+
+The `docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.robomme` image overrides `gymnasium==0.29.1` and `numpy==1.26.4` after lerobot's install. Both versions are runtime-safe for lerobot's actual API usage.
+
+## Running Evaluation
+
+### Default (single task, single episode)
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+    --policy.path=<your_policy_repo> \
+    --env.type=robomme \
+    --env.task=PickXtimes \
+    --env.dataset_split=test \
+    --env.task_ids=[0] \
+    --eval.batch_size=1 \
+    --eval.n_episodes=1
+```
+
+### Multi-task evaluation
+
+Evaluate multiple tasks in one run by comma-separating task names. Use `task_ids` to control which episodes are evaluated per task. Recommended: 50 episodes per task for the test split.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+    --policy.path=<your_policy_repo> \
+    --env.type=robomme \
+    --env.task=PickXtimes,BinFill,StopCube,MoveCube,InsertPeg \
+    --env.dataset_split=test \
+    --env.task_ids=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] \
+    --eval.batch_size=1 \
+    --eval.n_episodes=50
+```
+
+### Key CLI options for `env.type=robomme`
+
+| Option               | Default       | Description                                        |
+| -------------------- | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
+| `env.task`           | `PickXtimes`  | Any of the 16 task names above (comma-separated)   |
+| `env.dataset_split`  | `test`        | `train`, `val`, or `test`                          |
+| `env.action_space`   | `joint_angle` | `joint_angle` (8-D) or `ee_pose` (7-D)             |
+| `env.episode_length` | `300`         | Max steps per episode                              |
+| `env.task_ids`       | `null`        | List of episode indices to evaluate (null = `[0]`) |
+
+## Dataset
+
+The dataset [`lerobot/robomme`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/robomme) is in **LeRobot v3.0 format** and can be loaded directly:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
+
+dataset = LeRobotDataset("lerobot/robomme")
+```
+
+### Dataset features
+
+| Feature            | Shape         | Description                     |
+| ------------------ | ------------- | ------------------------------- |
+| `image`            | (256, 256, 3) | Front camera RGB                |
+| `wrist_image`      | (256, 256, 3) | Wrist camera RGB                |
+| `actions`          | (8,)          | Joint angles + gripper          |
+| `state`            | (8,)          | Joint positions + gripper state |
+| `simple_subgoal`   | str           | High-level language annotation  |
+| `grounded_subgoal` | str           | Grounded language annotation    |
+| `episode_index`    | int           | Episode ID                      |
+| `frame_index`      | int           | Frame within episode            |
+
+### Feature key alignment (training)
+
+The env wrapper exposes `pixels/image` and `pixels/wrist_image` as observation keys. The `features_map` in `RoboMMEEnv` maps these to `observation.images.image` and `observation.images.wrist_image` for the policy. State is exposed as `agent_pos` and maps to `observation.state`.
+
+The dataset's `image` and `wrist_image` columns already align with the policy input keys, so no renaming is needed when fine-tuning.
+
+## Action Spaces
+
+| Type          | Dim | Description                                               |
+| ------------- | --- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `joint_angle` | 8   | 7 joint angles + 1 gripper (−1 closed, +1 open, absolute) |
+| `ee_pose`     | 7   | xyz + roll/pitch/yaw + gripper                            |
+
+Set via `--env.action_space=joint_angle` (default) or `--env.action_space=ee_pose`.
+
+## Platform Notes
+
+- **Linux only**: ManiSkill requires SAPIEN/Vulkan. macOS and Windows are not supported.
+- **GPU recommended**: Rendering is CPU-capable but slow; CUDA + Vulkan gives full speed.
+- **gymnasium / numpy conflict**: See installation note above. Docker image handles this automatically.
+- **ManiSkill fork**: `robomme` depends on a specific ManiSkill fork (`YinpeiDai/ManiSkill`), pulled in automatically via the `robomme` package.

+  `open_laptop` is currently broken upstream (its `check_success()` uses
+  `self.arm_tag`, which is only set inside the scripted-expert `play_once()`
+  path and therefore unavailable during normal policy eval). Avoid it until the
+  upstream bug is fixed, or patch the task to default `self.arm_tag = "left"` in
+  `load_actors()`.
+</Tip>
+
+## Dataset
+
+The RoboTwin 2.0 dataset is available in **LeRobot v3.0 format** on the Hugging Face Hub:
+
+```
+lerobot/robotwin_unified
+```
+
+It contains over 100,000 pre-collected trajectories across all 50 tasks (79.6 GB, Apache 2.0 license). No format conversion is needed — it is already in the correct LeRobot v3.0 schema with video observations and action labels.
+
+You can load it directly with the HF Datasets library:
+
+```python
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+ds = load_dataset("lerobot/robotwin_unified", split="train")
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+RoboTwin 2.0 requires **Linux** with an NVIDIA GPU (CUDA 12.1 recommended). Installation takes approximately 20 minutes.
+
+### 1. Create a conda environment
+
+```bash
+conda create -n robotwin python=3.10 -y
+conda activate robotwin
+```
+
+### 2. Install LeRobot
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git
+cd lerobot
+pip install -e "."
+```
+
+### 3. Install RoboTwin 2.0
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/RoboTwin-Platform/RoboTwin.git
+cd RoboTwin
+bash script/_install.sh
+bash script/_download_assets.sh
+```
+
+The install script handles all Python dependencies including SAPIEN, CuRobo, mplib, and pytorch3d.
+
+<Tip warning={true}>
+If the automated install fails, install manually:
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+pip install "git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d.git@stable"
+cd envs && git clone https://github.com/NVlabs/curobo.git && cd curobo
+pip install -e . --no-build-isolation
+```
+
+Then apply the required mplib fix: in `mplib/planner.py` line 807, remove `or collide` from the conditional.
+
+</Tip>
+
+### 4. Add RoboTwin to PYTHONPATH
+
+The RoboTwin task modules must be importable by LeRobot. From within the `RoboTwin/` directory:
+
+```bash
+export PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:$(pwd)"
+```
+
+Add this to your shell profile to make it permanent.
+
+## Evaluation
+
+### Standard evaluation (recommended)
+
+Evaluate a policy on a single task with the official protocol (100 episodes):
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-hf-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=robotwin \
+  --env.task=beat_block_hammer \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=100
+```
+
+### Single-task quick check
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-hf-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=robotwin \
+  --env.task=beat_block_hammer \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=5
+```
+
+### Multi-task sweep
+
+Evaluate on several tasks in one run:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-hf-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=robotwin \
+  --env.task=beat_block_hammer,click_bell,handover_block,stack_blocks_two \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=100
+```
+
+### Full benchmark (all 50 tasks)
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-hf-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=robotwin \
+  --env.task=adjust_bottle,beat_block_hammer,blocks_ranking_rgb,blocks_ranking_size,click_alarmclock,click_bell,dump_bin_bigbin,grab_roller,handover_block,handover_mic,hanging_mug,lift_pot,move_can_pot,move_pillbottle_pad,move_playingcard_away,move_stapler_pad,open_microwave,pick_diverse_bottles,pick_dual_bottles,place_a2b_left,place_a2b_right,place_bread_basket,place_bread_skillet,place_burger_fries,place_can_basket,place_cans_plasticbox,place_container_plate,place_dual_shoes,place_empty_cup,place_fan,place_mouse_pad,place_object_basket,place_object_scale,place_object_stand,place_phone_stand,place_shoe,press_stapler,put_bottles_dustbin,put_object_cabinet,rotate_qrcode,scan_object,shake_bottle,shake_bottle_horizontally,stack_blocks_three,stack_blocks_two,stack_bowls_three,stack_bowls_two,stamp_seal,turn_switch \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=100
+```
+
+<Tip>
+  `open_laptop` is intentionally omitted above because of the upstream
+  `self.arm_tag` bug (see the **Available tasks** section). Re-add it once the
+  upstream fix lands.
+</Tip>
+
+## Camera configuration
+
+By default, all three cameras are included:
+
+| Camera key     | Description                    |
+| -------------- | ------------------------------ |
+| `head_camera`  | Torso-mounted overhead view    |
+| `left_camera`  | Left arm wrist-mounted camera  |
+| `right_camera` | Right arm wrist-mounted camera |
+
+To use a subset of cameras, override `--env.camera_names`:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-hf-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=robotwin \
+  --env.task=beat_block_hammer \
+  --env.camera_names="head_camera,left_camera" \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10
+```

+# VLABench
+
+[VLABench](https://github.com/OpenMOSS/VLABench) is a large-scale benchmark for **language-conditioned robotic manipulation with long-horizon reasoning**. The upstream suite covers 100 task categories across 2,000+ objects and evaluates six dimensions of robot intelligence: mesh & texture understanding, spatial reasoning, world-knowledge transfer, semantic instruction comprehension, physical-law understanding, and long-horizon planning. Built on MuJoCo / dm_control with a Franka Panda 7-DOF arm. LeRobot exposes **43 of these tasks** through `--env.task` (21 primitives + 22 composites, see [Available tasks](#available-tasks) below).

+
+## Available tasks
+
+VLABench ships two task suites covering **43 task categories** in LeRobot's `--env.task` surface:
+
+| Suite     | CLI name    | Tasks | Description                                                      |
+| --------- | ----------- | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Primitive | `primitive` | 21    | Single / few-skill combinations (select, insert, physics QA)     |
+| Composite | `composite` | 22    | Multi-step reasoning and long-horizon planning (cook, rearrange) |
+
+**Primitive tasks:** `select_fruit`, `select_toy`, `select_chemistry_tube`, `add_condiment`, `select_book`, `select_painting`, `select_drink`, `insert_flower`, `select_billiards`, `select_ingredient`, `select_mahjong`, `select_poker`, and physical-reasoning tasks (`density_qa`, `friction_qa`, `magnetism_qa`, `reflection_qa`, `simple_cuestick_usage`, `simple_seesaw_usage`, `sound_speed_qa`, `thermal_expansion_qa`, `weight_qa`).
+
+**Composite tasks:** `cluster_billiards`, `cluster_book`, `cluster_drink`, `cluster_toy`, `cook_dishes`, `cool_drink`, `find_unseen_object`, `get_coffee`, `hammer_nail`, `heat_food`, `make_juice`, `play_mahjong`, `play_math_game`, `play_poker`, `play_snooker`, `rearrange_book`, `rearrange_chemistry_tube`, `set_dining_table`, `set_study_table`, `store_food`, `take_chemistry_experiment`, `use_seesaw_complex`.
+
+`--env.task` accepts three forms:
+
+- a single task name (`select_fruit`)
+- a comma-separated list (`select_fruit,heat_food`)
+- a suite shortcut (`primitive`, `composite`, or `primitive,composite`)
+
+## Installation
+
+VLABench is **not on PyPI** — its only distribution is the [OpenMOSS/VLABench](https://github.com/OpenMOSS/VLABench) GitHub repo — so LeRobot does not expose a `vlabench` extra. Install it manually as an editable clone, alongside the MuJoCo / dm_control pins VLABench needs, then fetch the mesh assets:
+
+```bash
+# After following the standard LeRobot installation instructions.
+
+git clone https://github.com/OpenMOSS/VLABench.git ~/VLABench
+git clone https://github.com/motion-planning/rrt-algorithms.git ~/rrt-algorithms
+pip install -e ~/VLABench -e ~/rrt-algorithms
+pip install "mujoco==3.2.2" "dm-control==1.0.22" \
+            open3d colorlog scikit-learn openai gdown
+
+python ~/VLABench/scripts/download_assets.py
+```
+
+<Tip>
+VLABench requires Linux (`sys_platform == 'linux'`) and Python 3.10+. Set the MuJoCo rendering backend before running:
+
+```bash
+export MUJOCO_GL=egl  # for headless servers (HPC, cloud)
+```
+
+</Tip>
+
+## Evaluation
+
+All eval snippets below mirror the command CI runs (see `.github/workflows/benchmark_tests.yml`). The `--rename_map` argument maps VLABench's `image` / `second_image` / `wrist_image` camera keys onto the three-camera (`camera1` / `camera2` / `camera3`) input layout the released `smolvla_vlabench` policy was trained on.
+
+### Single-task evaluation (recommended for quick iteration)
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_vlabench \
+  --env.type=vlabench \
+  --env.task=select_fruit \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+  --eval.use_async_envs=false \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  '--rename_map={"observation.images.image": "observation.images.camera1", "observation.images.second_image": "observation.images.camera2", "observation.images.wrist_image": "observation.images.camera3"}'
+```
+
+### Multi-task evaluation
+
+Pass a comma-separated list of tasks:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_vlabench \
+  --env.type=vlabench \
+  --env.task=select_fruit,select_toy,add_condiment,heat_food \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+  --eval.use_async_envs=false \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  '--rename_map={"observation.images.image": "observation.images.camera1", "observation.images.second_image": "observation.images.camera2", "observation.images.wrist_image": "observation.images.camera3"}'
+```
+
+### Suite-wide evaluation
+
+Run an entire suite (all 21 primitives or all 22 composites):
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_vlabench \
+  --env.type=vlabench \
+  --env.task=primitive \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+  --eval.use_async_envs=false \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --env.max_parallel_tasks=1 \
+  '--rename_map={"observation.images.image": "observation.images.camera1", "observation.images.second_image": "observation.images.camera2", "observation.images.wrist_image": "observation.images.camera3"}'
+```
+
+Or both suites:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_vlabench \
+  --env.type=vlabench \
+  --env.task=primitive,composite \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+  --eval.use_async_envs=false \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --env.max_parallel_tasks=1 \
+  '--rename_map={"observation.images.image": "observation.images.camera1", "observation.images.second_image": "observation.images.camera2", "observation.images.wrist_image": "observation.images.camera3"}'
+```
+
+### Recommended evaluation episodes
+
+**10 episodes per task** for reproducible benchmarking (210 total for the full primitive suite, 220 for composite). Matches the protocol in the VLABench paper.
+
+## Policy inputs and outputs
+
+**Observations:**
+
+- `observation.state` — 7-dim end-effector state (position xyz + Euler xyz + gripper)
+- `observation.images.image` — front camera, 480×480 HWC uint8
+- `observation.images.second_image` — second camera, 480×480 HWC uint8
+- `observation.images.wrist_image` — wrist camera, 480×480 HWC uint8
+
+**Actions:**
+
+- Continuous control in `Box(-1, 1, shape=(7,))` — 3D position + 3D Euler orientation + 1D gripper.
+
+## Training
+
+### Datasets
+
+Pre-collected VLABench datasets in LeRobot format on the Hub:
+
+- [`VLABench/vlabench_primitive_ft_lerobot_video`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/VLABench/vlabench_primitive_ft_lerobot_video) — 5,000 episodes, 128 tasks, 480×480 images.
+- [`VLABench/vlabench_composite_ft_lerobot_video`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/VLABench/vlabench_composite_ft_lerobot_video) — 5,977 episodes, 167 tasks, 224×224 images.
+
+### Example training command
+
+Fine-tune a SmolVLA base on the primitive suite:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.type=smolvla \
+  --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/smolvla_vlabench_primitive \
+  --policy.load_vlm_weights=true \
+  --policy.push_to_hub=true \
+  --dataset.repo_id=VLABench/vlabench_primitive_ft_lerobot_video \
+  --env.type=vlabench \
+  --env.task=select_fruit \
+  --output_dir=./outputs/smolvla_vlabench_primitive \
+  --steps=100000 \
+  --batch_size=4 \
+  --eval_freq=5000 \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=1 \
+  --save_freq=10000
+```
+
+## Reproducing published results
+
+The released checkpoint [`lerobot/smolvla_vlabench`](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/smolvla_vlabench) was trained on the primitive-suite dataset above and is evaluated with the [Single-task](#single-task-evaluation-recommended-for-quick-iteration) / [Suite-wide](#suite-wide-evaluation) commands. CI runs a 10-primitive-task smoke eval (one episode each) on every PR touching the benchmark.

-This file contains lists of available environments, dataset and policies to reflect the current state of LeRobot library.
-We do not want to import all the dependencies, but instead we keep it lightweight to ensure fast access to these variables.
+LeRobot -- PyTorch library for real-world robotics.
 
-Example:
-    ```python
-        import lerobot
-        print(lerobot.available_envs)
-        print(lerobot.available_tasks_per_env)
-        print(lerobot.available_datasets)
-        print(lerobot.available_datasets_per_env)
-        print(lerobot.available_real_world_datasets)
-        print(lerobot.available_policies)
-        print(lerobot.available_policies_per_env)
-        print(lerobot.available_robots)
-        print(lerobot.available_cameras)
-        print(lerobot.available_motors)
-    ```
+Provides datasets, pretrained policies, and tools for training, evaluation,
+data collection, and robot control. Integrates with Hugging Face Hub for
+model and dataset sharing.
 
-When implementing a new dataset loadable with LeRobotDataset follow these steps:
-- Update `available_datasets_per_env` in `lerobot/__init__.py`
+The base install is intentionally lightweight. Feature-specific dependencies
+are gated behind optional extras::
 
-When implementing a new environment (e.g. `gym_aloha`), follow these steps:
-- Update `available_tasks_per_env` and `available_datasets_per_env` in `lerobot/__init__.py`
-
-When implementing a new policy class (e.g. `DiffusionPolicy`) follow these steps:
-- Update `available_policies` and `available_policies_per_env`, in `lerobot/__init__.py`
-- Set the required `name` class attribute.
-- Update variables in `tests/test_available.py` by importing your new Policy class
