HUANG TZU-CHUN a6b06eac38 docs: fix env processor code fences and minor doc errors (#3953)
* docs: fix code fences in env processor guide

The "Flexibility and Reusability" section wrapped a duplicated example
in a four-backtick fence and left a following block unclosed, so the
stray closing fence matched a later block. Everything in between
rendered as one code block that swallowed the surrounding prose.

Remove the duplicated block, add the missing closing fence after the
first example, and normalize the four-backtick fences to three so all
fences pair correctly.

* docs(pi0fast): fix typo 40kk -> 40k steps

* docs(integrate-hardware): fix so101 follower source link

* docs(hope_jr): fix dataset example link

The "example" link in the Record section pointed at the dataset's
`/settings` page, which returns HTTP 403 for readers. Drop the
`/settings` suffix so it links to the public dataset page the
sentence describes.

* docs(lekiwi): render emoji shortcodes as unicode

MDX does not expand `🤗` / `🤖` shortcodes, so they showed as
literal text in the rendered install step. Replace them with the 🤗 and
🤖 unicode characters, matching how the other robot pages write emoji.

* docs(smolvla): anchor record link to its section

The "Record a dataset" link dropped readers at the top of the
il_robots page instead of the relevant section. Point it at the
`#record-a-dataset` anchor (the `## Record a dataset` heading in
il_robots.mdx) so the link lands on the step it names.

# HopeJR
## Prerequisites
- [Hardware Setup](https://github.com/TheRobotStudio/HOPEJr)
## Install LeRobot
Follow the [installation instructions](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot#installation) to install LeRobot.
Install LeRobot with HopeJR dependencies:
```bash
pip install -e ".[hopejr]"
```
## Device Configuration
Before starting calibration and operation, you need to identify the USB ports for each HopeJR component. Run this script to find the USB ports for the arm, hand, glove, and exoskeleton:
```bash
lerobot-find-port
```
This will display the available USB ports and their associated devices. Make note of the port paths (e.g., `/dev/tty.usbmodem58760433331`, `/dev/tty.usbmodem11301`) as you'll need to specify them in the `--robot.port` and `--teleop.port` parameters when recording data, replaying episodes, or running teleoperation scripts.
## Step 1: Calibration
Before performing teleoperation, HopeJR's limbs need to be calibrated. Calibration files will be saved in `~/.cache/huggingface/lerobot/calibration`
### 1.1 Calibrate Robot Hand
```bash
lerobot-calibrate \
--robot.type=hope_jr_hand \
--robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760432281 \
--robot.id=blue \
--robot.side=right
```
When running the calibration script, a calibration GUI will pop up. Finger joints are named as follows:
**Thumb**:
- **CMC**: base joint connecting thumb to hand
- **MCP**: knuckle joint
- **PIP**: first finger joint
- **DIP** : fingertip joint
**Index, Middle, Ring, and Pinky fingers**:
- **Radial flexor**: Moves base of finger towards the thumb
- **Ulnar flexor**: Moves base of finger towards the pinky
- **PIP/DIP**: Flexes the distal and proximal phalanx of the finger
Each one of these will need to be calibrated individually via the GUI.
Note that ulnar and radial flexors should have ranges of the same size (but with different offsets) in order to get symmetric movement.

Use the calibration interface to set the range boundaries for each joint as shown above.

</p>
Once you have set the appropriate boundaries for all joints, click "Save" to save the calibration values to the motors.
### 1.2 Calibrate Teleoperator Glove
```bash
lerobot-calibrate \
--teleop.type=homunculus_glove \
--teleop.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem11201 \
--teleop.id=red \
--teleop.side=right
```
Move each finger through its full range of motion, starting from the thumb.
```
Move thumb through its entire range of motion.
Recording positions. Press ENTER to stop...
-------------------------------------------
NAME | MIN | POS | MAX
thumb_cmc | 1790 | 1831 | 1853
thumb_mcp | 1497 | 1514 | 1528
thumb_pip | 1466 | 1496 | 1515
thumb_dip | 1463 | 1484 | 1514
```
Continue with each finger:
```
Move middle through its entire range of motion.
Recording positions. Press ENTER to stop...
-------------------------------------------
NAME | MIN | POS | MAX
middle_mcp_abduction | 1598 | 1718 | 1820
middle_mcp_flexion | 1512 | 1658 | 2136
middle_dip | 1484 | 1500 | 1547
```
Once calibration is complete, the system will save the calibration to `/Users/your_username/.cache/huggingface/lerobot/calibration/teleoperators/homunculus_glove/red.json`
### 1.3 Calibrate Robot Arm
```bash
lerobot-calibrate \
--robot.type=hope_jr_arm \
--robot.port=/dev/tty.usbserial-1110 \
--robot.id=white
```
This will open a calibration GUI where you can set the range limits for each motor. The arm motions are organized as follows:
- **Shoulder**: pitch, yaw, and roll
- **Elbow**: flex
- **Wrist**: pitch, yaw, and roll
<p align="center">

alt="Setting boundaries in the arm calibration GUI"
title="Setting boundaries in the arm calibration GUI"
width="100%"
></img>
</p>
Use the calibration interface to set the range boundaries for each joint. Move each joint through its full range of motion and adjust the minimum and maximum values accordingly. Once you have set the appropriate boundaries for all joints, save the calibration.
### 1.4 Calibrate Teleoperator Exoskeleton
```bash
lerobot-calibrate \
--teleop.type=homunculus_arm \
--teleop.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem11201 \
--teleop.id=black
```
The exoskeleton allows one to control the robot arm. During calibration, you'll be prompted to move all joints through their full range of motion:
```
Move all joints through their entire range of motion.
Recording positions. Press ENTER to stop...
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
NAME | MIN | POS | MAX
shoulder_pitch | 586 | 736 | 895
shoulder_yaw | 1257 | 1374 | 1390
shoulder_roll | 449 | 1034 | 2564
elbow_flex | 3023 | 3117 | 3134
wrist_roll | 3073 | 3096 | 3147
wrist_yaw | 2143 | 2171 | 2185
wrist_pitch | 1975 | 1993 | 2074
Calibration saved to /Users/your_username/.cache/huggingface/lerobot/calibration/teleoperators/homunculus_arm/black.json
```
## Step 2: Teleoperation
Due to global variable conflicts in the Feetech middleware, teleoperation for arm and hand must run in separate shell sessions:
### Hand
```bash
lerobot-teleoperate \
--robot.type=hope_jr_hand \
--robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760432281 \
--robot.id=blue \
--robot.side=right \
--teleop.type=homunculus_glove \
--teleop.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem11201 \
--teleop.id=red \
--teleop.side=right \
--display_data=true \
--fps=30
```
### Arm
```bash
lerobot-teleoperate \
--robot.type=hope_jr_arm \
--robot.port=/dev/tty.usbserial-1110 \
--robot.id=white \
--teleop.type=homunculus_arm \
--teleop.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem11201 \
--teleop.id=black \
--display_data=true \
--fps=30
```
## Step 3: Record, Replay, Train
Record, Replay and Train with Hope-JR is still experimental.
### Record
This step records the dataset, which can be seen as an example [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nepyope/hand_record_test_with_video_data).
```bash
lerobot-record \
--robot.type=hope_jr_hand \
--robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760432281 \
--robot.id=right \
--robot.side=right \
--robot.cameras='{"main": {"type": "opencv", "index_or_path": 0, "width": 640, "height": 480, "fps": 30}}' \
--teleop.type=homunculus_glove \
--teleop.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem1201 \
--teleop.id=right \
--teleop.side=right \
--dataset.repo_id=<USER>/hand_record_test_with_video_data \
--dataset.single_task="Hand recording test with video data" \
--dataset.num_episodes=1 \
--dataset.episode_time_s=5 \
--dataset.push_to_hub=true \
--dataset.private=true \
--dataset.streaming_encoding=true \
--dataset.encoder_threads=2 \
# --dataset.rgb_encoder.vcodec=auto \
--display_data=true
```
### Replay
```bash
lerobot-replay \
--robot.type=hope_jr_hand \
--robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760432281 \
--robot.id=right \
--robot.side=right \
--dataset.repo_id=<USER>/hand_record_test_with_camera \
--dataset.episode=0
```
### Train
```bash
lerobot-train \
--dataset.repo_id=<USER>/hand_record_test_with_video_data \
--policy.type=act \
--output_dir=outputs/train/hopejr_hand \
--job_name=hopejr \
--policy.device=mps \
--wandb.enable=true \
--policy.repo_id=<USER>/hand_test_policy
```
### Evaluate
This training run can be viewed as an example [here](https://wandb.ai/tino/lerobot/runs/rp0k8zvw?nw=nwusertino).
```bash
lerobot-record \
--robot.type=hope_jr_hand \
--robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760432281 \
--robot.id=right \
--robot.side=right \
--robot.cameras='{"main": {"type": "opencv", "index_or_path": 0, "width": 640, "height": 480, "fps": 30}}' \
