+
+# Generating the documentation
+
+To generate the documentation, you first have to build it. Several packages are necessary to build the doc,
+you can install them with the following command, at the root of the code repository:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[docs]"
+```
+
+You will also need `nodejs`. Please refer to their [installation page](https://nodejs.org/en/download)
+
+---
+**NOTE**
+
+You only need to generate the documentation to inspect it locally (if you're planning changes and want to
+check how they look before committing for instance). You don't have to `git commit` the built documentation.
+
+---
+
+## Building the documentation
+
+Once you have setup the `doc-builder` and additional packages, you can generate the documentation by
+typing the following command:
+
+```bash
+doc-builder build lerobot docs/source/ --build_dir ~/tmp/test-build
+```
+
+You can adapt the `--build_dir` to set any temporary folder that you prefer. This command will create it and generate
+the MDX files that will be rendered as the documentation on the main website. You can inspect them in your favorite
+Markdown editor.
+
+## Previewing the documentation
+
+To preview the docs, first install the `watchdog` module with:
+
+```bash
+pip install watchdog
+```
+
+Then run the following command:
+
+```bash
+doc-builder preview lerobot docs/source/
+```
+
+The docs will be viewable at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000). You can also preview the docs once you have opened a PR. You will see a bot add a comment to a link where the documentation with your changes lives.
+
+---
+**NOTE**
+
+The `preview` command only works with existing doc files. When you add a completely new file, you need to update `_toctree.yml` & restart `preview` command (`ctrl-c` to stop it & call `doc-builder preview ...` again).
+
+---
+
+## Adding a new element to the navigation bar
+
+Accepted files are Markdown (.md).
+
+Create a file with its extension and put it in the source directory. You can then link it to the toc-tree by putting
+the filename without the extension in the [`_toctree.yml`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/docs/source/_toctree.yml) file.
+
+## Renaming section headers and moving sections
+
+It helps to keep the old links working when renaming the section header and/or moving sections from one document to another. This is because the old links are likely to be used in Issues, Forums, and Social media and it'd make for a much more superior user experience if users reading those months later could still easily navigate to the originally intended information.
+
+Therefore, we simply keep a little map of moved sections at the end of the document where the original section was. The key is to preserve the original anchor.
+
+So if you renamed a section from: "Section A" to "Section B", then you can add at the end of the file:
+
+```
+Sections that were moved:
+
+[ <a href="#section-b">Section A</a><a id="section-a"></a> ]
+```
+and of course, if you moved it to another file, then:
+
+```
+Sections that were moved:
+
+[ <a href="../new-file#section-b">Section A</a><a id="section-a"></a> ]
+```
+
+Use the relative style to link to the new file so that the versioned docs continue to work.
+
+For an example of a rich moved sections set please see the very end of [the transformers Trainer doc](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/docs/source/en/main_classes/trainer.md).
+
+### Adding a new tutorial
+
+Adding a new tutorial or section is done in two steps:
+
+- Add a new file under `./source`. This file can either be ReStructuredText (.rst) or Markdown (.md).
+- Link that file in `./source/_toctree.yml` on the correct toc-tree.
+
+Make sure to put your new file under the proper section. If you have a doubt, feel free to ask in a Github Issue or PR.
+
+### Writing source documentation
+
+Values that should be put in `code` should either be surrounded by backticks: \`like so\`. Note that argument names
+and objects like True, None or any strings should usually be put in `code`.
+
+#### Writing a multi-line code block
+
+Multi-line code blocks can be useful for displaying examples. They are done between two lines of three backticks as usual in Markdown:
+
+
+````
+```
+# first line of code
+# second line
+# etc
+```
+````
+
+#### Adding an image
+
+Due to the rapidly growing repository, it is important to make sure that no files that would significantly weigh down the repository are added. This includes images, videos, and other non-text files. We prefer to leverage a hf.co hosted `dataset` like
+the ones hosted on [`hf-internal-testing`](https://huggingface.co/hf-internal-testing) in which to place these files and reference
+them by URL. We recommend putting them in the following dataset: [huggingface/documentation-images](https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images).
+If an external contribution, feel free to add the images to your PR and ask a Hugging Face member to migrate your images
+to this dataset.

+# Assemble SO-101
+
+In the steps below we explain how to assemble our flagship robot, the SO-101.
+
+## Source the parts
+
+Follow this [README](https://github.com/TheRobotStudio/SO-ARM100). It contains the bill of materials, with a link to source the parts, as well as the instructions to 3D print the parts,
+and advice if it's your first time printing or if you don't own a 3D printer.
+
+Before assembling, you will first need to configure your motors. To this end, we provide a nice script, so let's first install LeRobot. After configuration, we will also guide you through assembly.
+
+## Install LeRobot
+
+To install LeRobot follow our [Installation Guide](./installation)
+
+## Configure motors
+
+To configure the motors designate one bus servo adapter and 6 motors for your leader arm, and similarly the other bus servo adapter and 6 motors for the follower arm. It's convenient to label them and write on each motor if it's for the follower `F` or for the leader `L` and it's ID from 1 to 6.
+
+You now should plug the 5V or 12V power supply to the motor bus. 5V for the STS3215 7.4V motors and 12V for the STS3215 12V motors. Note that the leader arm always uses the 7.4V motors, so watch out that you plug in the right power supply if you have 12V and 7.4V motors, otherwise you might burn your motors! Now, connect the motor bus to your computer via USB. Note that the USB doesn't provide any power, and both the power supply and USB have to be plugged in.
+
+### Find the USB ports associated to each arm
+
+To find the port for each bus servo adapter, run this script:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/find_motors_bus_port.py
+```
+##### Example outputs of script
+
+<hfoptions id="example">
+<hfoption id="Mac">
+
+Example output leader arm's port: `/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0031751`

+The port of this MotorsBus is /dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081
+Reconnect the usb cable.
+```
+
+</hfoption>
+<hfoption id="Linux">
+
+On Linux, you might need to give access to the USB ports by running:
+```bash
+sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyACM0
+sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyACM1
+```
+
+Example output leader arm port: `/dev/ttyACM0`
+
+```bash
+Finding all available ports for the MotorBus.
+['/dev/ttyACM0', '/dev/ttyACM1']
+Remove the usb cable from your MotorsBus and press Enter when done.
+
+[...Disconnect leader arm and press Enter...]
+
+The port of this MotorsBus is /dev/ttyACM0
+Reconnect the usb cable.
+```
+
+Example output follower arm port: `/dev/ttyACM1`
+

+['/dev/ttyACM0', '/dev/ttyACM1']
+Remove the usb cable from your MotorsBus and press Enter when done.

+Reconnect the usb cable.
+```
+</hfoption>
+</hfoptions>
+
+#### Update config file
+
+Now that you have your ports, update the **port** default values of [`SO101RobotConfig`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/lerobot/common/robot_devices/robots/configs.py).
+You will find a class called `so101` where you can update the `port` values with your actual motor ports:
+```diff

+
+The follower arm uses 6x STS3215 motors with 1/345 gearing. The leader however uses three differently geared motors to make sure it can both sustain its own weight and it can be moved without requiring much force. Which motor is needed for which joint is shown in table below.

+| Base / Shoulder Yaw | 1 | 1 / 191 |
+| Shoulder Pitch      | 2 | 1 / 345 |
+| Elbow               | 3 | 1 / 191 |
+| Wrist Roll          | 4 | 1 / 147 |
+| Wrist Pitch         | 5 | 1 / 147 |
+| Gripper             | 6 | 1 / 147 |
+
+### Set motor IDs
+
+Plug your motor in one of the two ports of the motor bus and run this script to set its ID to 1. Replace the text after --port to the corresponding control board port.
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/configure_motor.py \
+  --port /dev/tty.usbmodem58760432961 \
+  --brand feetech \
+  --model sts3215 \
+  --baudrate 1000000 \
+  --ID 1
+```
+
+Then unplug your motor and plug the second motor and set its ID to 2.
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/configure_motor.py \
+  --port /dev/tty.usbmodem58760432961 \
+  --brand feetech \
+  --model sts3215 \
+  --baudrate 1000000 \
+  --ID 2
+```
+
+Redo this process for all your motors until ID 6. Do the same for the 6 motors of the leader arm, but make sure to change the power supply if you use motors with different voltage and make sure you give the right ID to the right motor according to the table above.
+
+Here is a video of the process:

+
+## Calibrate
+
+Next, you'll need to calibrate your SO-101 robot to ensure that the leader and follower arms have the same position values when they are in the same physical position.
+The calibration process is very important because it allows a neural network trained on one SO-101 robot to work on another.
+
+#### Manual calibration of follower arm
+
+You will need to move the follower arm to these positions sequentially, note that the rotated position is on the right side of the robot and you have to open the gripper fully.
+
+| 1. Middle position | 2. Zero position                                                                                                                                       | 3. Rotated position                                                                                                                                             | 4. Rest position                                                                                                                                       |

+
+Make sure both arms are connected and run this script to launch manual calibration:
+```bash

+  --robot.type=so101 \
+  --robot.cameras='{}' \
+  --control.type=calibrate \
+  --control.arms='["main_follower"]'
+```
+
+#### Manual calibration of leader arm
+You will also need to move the leader arm to these positions sequentially:
+
+| 1. Middle position | 2. Zero position                                                                                                                                       | 3. Rotated position                                                                                                                                             | 4. Rest position                                                                                                                                       |

+# Getting Started with Real-World Robots
+
+This tutorial will explain you how to train a neural network to autonomously control a real robot.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+1. How to record and visualize your dataset.
+2. How to train a policy using your data and prepare it for evaluation.
+3. How to evaluate your policy and visualize the results.
+
+By following these steps, you'll be able to replicate tasks like picking up a Lego block and placing it in a bin with a high success rate, as demonstrated in [this video](https://x.com/RemiCadene/status/1814680760592572934).
+
+This tutorial is specifically made for the affordable [SO-101](https://github.com/TheRobotStudio/SO-ARM100) robot, but it contains additional information to be easily adapted to various types of robots like [Aloha bimanual robot](https://aloha-2.github.io) by changing some configurations. The SO-101 consists of a leader arm and a follower arm, each with 6 motors. It can work with one or several cameras to record the scene, which serve as visual sensors for the robot.
+
+During the data collection phase, you will control the follower arm by moving the leader arm. This process is known as "teleoperation." This technique is used to collect robot trajectories. Afterward, you'll train a neural network to imitate these trajectories and deploy the network to enable your robot to operate autonomously.
+
+If you encounter any issues at any step of the tutorial, feel free to seek help on [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/s3KuuzsPFb) or don't hesitate to iterate with us on the tutorial by creating issues or pull requests.
+
+## Setup and Calibrate
+
+If you haven't yet setup and calibrate the SO-101 follow these steps:
+1. [Find ports and update config file](./assemble_so101#find-the-usb-ports-associated-to-each-arm)
+2. [Calibrate](./assemble_so101#calibrate)
+
+## Teleoperate
+
+Run this simple script to teleoperate your robot (it won't connect and display the cameras):
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=so101 \
+  --robot.cameras='{}' \
+  --control.type=teleoperate
+```
+
+The teleoperate command will automatically:
+1. Identify any missing calibrations and initiate the calibration procedure.
+2. Connect the robot and start teleoperation.
+
+## Setup Cameras
+
+To connect a camera you have three options:
+1. OpenCVCamera which allows us to use any camera: usb, realsense, laptop webcam
+2. iPhone camera with MacOS
+3. Phone camera on Linux
+
+### Use OpenCVCamera
+
+The [`OpenCVCamera`](../lerobot/common/robot_devices/cameras/opencv.py) class allows you to efficiently record frames from most cameras using the [`opencv2`](https://docs.opencv.org) library.  For more details on compatibility, see [Video I/O with OpenCV Overview](https://docs.opencv.org/4.x/d0/da7/videoio_overview.html).
+
+To instantiate an [`OpenCVCamera`](../lerobot/common/robot_devices/cameras/opencv.py), you need a camera index (e.g. `OpenCVCamera(camera_index=0)`). When you only have one camera like a webcam of a laptop, the camera index is usually `0` but it might differ, and the camera index might change if you reboot your computer or re-plug your camera. This behavior depends on your operating system.
+
+To find the camera indices, run the following utility script, which will save a few frames from each detected camera:
+```bash
+python lerobot/common/robot_devices/cameras/opencv.py \
+    --images-dir outputs/images_from_opencv_cameras
+```
+
+The output will look something like this if you have two cameras connected:
+```
+Mac or Windows detected. Finding available camera indices through scanning all indices from 0 to 60
+[...]
+Camera found at index 0
+Camera found at index 1
+[...]
+Connecting cameras
+OpenCVCamera(0, fps=30.0, width=1920.0, height=1080.0, color_mode=rgb)
+OpenCVCamera(1, fps=24.0, width=1920.0, height=1080.0, color_mode=rgb)
+Saving images to outputs/images_from_opencv_cameras
+Frame: 0000	Latency (ms): 39.52
+[...]
+Frame: 0046	Latency (ms): 40.07
+Images have been saved to outputs/images_from_opencv_cameras
+```
+
+Check the saved images in `outputs/images_from_opencv_cameras` to identify which camera index corresponds to which physical camera (e.g. `0` for `camera_00` or `1` for `camera_01`):
+```
+camera_00_frame_000000.png
+[...]
+camera_00_frame_000047.png
+camera_01_frame_000000.png
+[...]
+camera_01_frame_000047.png
+```
+
+Note: Some cameras may take a few seconds to warm up, and the first frame might be black or green.
+
+Now that you have the camera indexes, you should specify the camera's in the config.
+
+### Use your phone
+<hfoptions id="use phone">
+<hfoption id="Mac">
+
+To use your iPhone as a camera on macOS, enable the Continuity Camera feature:
+- Ensure your Mac is running macOS 13 or later, and your iPhone is on iOS 16 or later.
+- Sign in both devices with the same Apple ID.
+- Connect your devices with a USB cable or turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for a wireless connection.
+
+For more details, visit [Apple support](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchl77879b8a/mac).
+
+Your iPhone should be detected automatically when running the camera setup script in the next section.
+
+</hfoption>
+<hfoption id="Linux">
+
+If you want to use your phone as a camera on Linux, follow these steps to set up a virtual camera
+
+1. *Install `v4l2loopback-dkms` and `v4l-utils`*. Those packages are required to create virtual camera devices (`v4l2loopback`) and verify their settings with the `v4l2-ctl` utility from `v4l-utils`. Install them using:
+```python
+sudo apt install v4l2loopback-dkms v4l-utils
+```
+2. *Install [DroidCam](https://droidcam.app) on your phone*. This app is available for both iOS and Android.
+3. *Install [OBS Studio](https://obsproject.com)*. This software will help you manage the camera feed. Install it using [Flatpak](https://flatpak.org):
+```python
+flatpak install flathub com.obsproject.Studio
+```
+4. *Install the DroidCam OBS plugin*. This plugin integrates DroidCam with OBS Studio. Install it with:
+```python
+flatpak install flathub com.obsproject.Studio.Plugin.DroidCam
+```
+5. *Start OBS Studio*. Launch with:
+```python
+flatpak run com.obsproject.Studio
+```
+6. *Add your phone as a source*. Follow the instructions [here](https://droidcam.app/obs/usage). Be sure to set the resolution to `640x480`.
+7. *Adjust resolution settings*. In OBS Studio, go to `File > Settings > Video`. Change the `Base(Canvas) Resolution` and the `Output(Scaled) Resolution` to `640x480` by manually typing it in.
+8. *Start virtual camera*. In OBS Studio, follow the instructions [here](https://obsproject.com/kb/virtual-camera-guide).
+9. *Verify the virtual camera setup*. Use `v4l2-ctl` to list the devices:
+```python
+v4l2-ctl --list-devices
+```
+You should see an entry like:
+```
+VirtualCam (platform:v4l2loopback-000):
+/dev/video1
+```
+10. *Check the camera resolution*. Use `v4l2-ctl` to ensure that the virtual camera output resolution is `640x480`. Change `/dev/video1` to the port of your virtual camera from the output of `v4l2-ctl --list-devices`.
+```python
+v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 --get-fmt-video
+```
+You should see an entry like:
+```
+>>> Format Video Capture:
+>>>	Width/Height      : 640/480
+>>>	Pixel Format      : 'YUYV' (YUYV 4:2:2)
+```
+
+Troubleshooting: If the resolution is not correct you will have to delete the Virtual Camera port and try again as it cannot be changed.
+
+If everything is set up correctly, you can proceed with the rest of the tutorial.

+</hfoptions>
+
+## Teleoperate with cameras
+
+We can now teleoperate again while at the same time visualizing the cameras and joint positions with `rerun`.
+
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=so101 \
+  --control.type=teleoperate
+  --control.display_data=true
+```
+
+## Record a dataset
+
+Once you're familiar with teleoperation, you can record your first dataset with SO-101.
+
+We use the Hugging Face hub features for uploading your dataset. If you haven't previously used the Hub, make sure you can login via the cli using a write-access token, this token can be generated from the [Hugging Face settings](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens).
+
+Add your token to the cli by running this command:
+```bash
+huggingface-cli login --token ${HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN} --add-to-git-credential
+```
+
+Then store your Hugging Face repository name in a variable:
+```bash
+HF_USER=$(huggingface-cli whoami | head -n 1)
+echo $HF_USER
+```
+
+Now you can record a dataset, to record 2 episodes and upload your dataset to the hub execute this command:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=so101 \
+  --control.type=record \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.single_task="Grasp a lego block and put it in the bin." \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/so101_test \
+  --control.tags='["so101","tutorial"]' \
+  --control.warmup_time_s=5 \
+  --control.episode_time_s=30 \
+  --control.reset_time_s=30 \
+  --control.num_episodes=2 \
+  --control.push_to_hub=true
+```
+
+You will see a lot of lines appearing like this one:
+```
+INFO 2024-08-10 15:02:58 ol_robot.py:219 dt:33.34 (30.0hz) dtRlead: 5.06 (197.5hz) dtWfoll: 0.25 (3963.7hz) dtRfoll: 6.22 (160.7hz) dtRlaptop: 32.57 (30.7hz) dtRphone: 33.84 (29.5hz)
+```
+
+| Field | Meaning |

+| `dtRphone: 33.84 (29.5 Hz)` | Delta time (ms) for capturing an image from the **phone camera** (async thread). |
+
+
+#### Dataset upload
+Locally your dataset is stored in this folder: `~/.cache/huggingface/lerobot/{repo-id}` (e.g. `data/cadene/so101_test`). At the end of data recording, your dataset will be uploaded on your Hugging Face page (e.g. https://huggingface.co/datasets/cadene/so101_test) that you can obtain by running:
+```bash
+echo https://huggingface.co/datasets/${HF_USER}/so101_test
+```
+Your dataset will be automatically tagged with `LeRobot` for the community to find it easily, and you can also add custom tags (in this case `tutorial` for example).
+
+You can look for other LeRobot datasets on the hub by searching for `LeRobot` [tags](https://huggingface.co/datasets?other=LeRobot).
+
+#### Record function
+
+The `record` function provides a suite of tools for capturing and managing data during robot operation:
+
+##### 1. Frame Capture and Video Encoding
+- Frames from cameras are saved to disk during recording.
+- At the end of each episode, frames are encoded into video files.
+
+##### 2. Data Storage
+- Data is stored using the `LeRobotDataset` format.
+- By default, the dataset is pushed to your Hugging Face page.
+  - To disable uploading, use `--control.push_to_hub=false`.
+
+##### 3. Checkpointing and Resuming
+- Checkpoints are automatically created during recording.
+- If an issue occurs, you can resume by re-running the same command with `--control.resume=true`.
+- To start recording from scratch, **manually delete** the dataset directory.
+
+##### 4. Recording Parameters
+Set the flow of data recording using command-line arguments:
+- `--control.warmup_time_s=10`
+  Number of seconds before starting data collection (default: **10 seconds**).
+  Allows devices to warm up and synchronize.
+- `--control.episode_time_s=60`
+  Duration of each data recording episode (default: **60 seconds**).
+- `--control.reset_time_s=60`
+  Duration for resetting the environment after each episode (default: **60 seconds**).
+- `--control.num_episodes=50`
+  Total number of episodes to record (default: **50**).
+
+##### 5. Keyboard Controls During Recording
+Control the data recording flow using keyboard shortcuts:
+- Press **Right Arrow (`→`)**: Early stop the current episode or reset time and move to the next.
+- Press **Left Arrow (`←`)**: Cancel the current episode and re-record it.
+- Press **Escape (`ESC`)**: Immediately stop the session, encode videos, and upload the dataset.
+
+#### Tips for gathering data
+
+Once you're comfortable with data recording, you can create a larger dataset for training. A good starting task is grasping an object at different locations and placing it in a bin. We suggest recording at least 50 episodes, with 10 episodes per location. Keep the cameras fixed and maintain consistent grasping behavior throughout the recordings. Also make sure the object you are manipulating is visible on the camera's. A good rule of thumb is you should be able to do the task yourself by only looking at the camera images.
+
+In the following sections, you’ll train your neural network. After achieving reliable grasping performance, you can start introducing more variations during data collection, such as additional grasp locations, different grasping techniques, and altering camera positions.
+
+Avoid adding too much variation too quickly, as it may hinder your results.
+
+
+#### Troubleshooting:
+- On Linux, if the left and right arrow keys and escape key don't have any effect during data recording, make sure you've set the `$DISPLAY` environment variable. See [pynput limitations](https://pynput.readthedocs.io/en/latest/limitations.html#linux).
+
+## Visualize a dataset
+
+If you uploaded your dataset to the hub with `--control.push_to_hub=true`, you can [visualize your dataset online](https://huggingface.co/spaces/lerobot/visualize_dataset) by copy pasting your repo id given by:
+```bash
+echo ${HF_USER}/so101_test
+```
+
+If you didn't upload with `--control.push_to_hub=false`, you can visualize it locally with (via a window in the browser `http://127.0.0.1:9090` with the visualization tool):
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/visualize_dataset_html.py \
+  --repo-id ${HF_USER}/so101_test \
+  --local-files-only 1
+```
+
+This will launch a local web server that looks like this:
+<div style="text-align:center;">
+  <img src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/lerobot/visualize_dataset_html.webp?raw=true" alt="Koch v1.1 leader and follower arms" title="Koch v1.1 leader and follower arms" width="100%"></img>
+</div>
+
+## Replay an episode
+
+A useful feature is the `replay` function, which allows to replay on your robot any episode that you've recorded or episodes from any dataset out there. This function helps you test the repeatability of your robot's actions and assess transferability across robots of the same model.
+
+You can replay the first episode on your robot with:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=so101 \
+  --control.type=replay \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/so101_test \
+  --control.episode=0
+```
+
+Your robot should replicate movements similar to those you recorded. For example, check out [this video](https://x.com/RemiCadene/status/1793654950905680090) where we use `replay` on a Aloha robot from [Trossen Robotics](https://www.trossenrobotics.com).
+
+## Train a policy
+
+To train a policy to control your robot, use the [`python lerobot/scripts/train.py`](../lerobot/scripts/train.py) script. A few arguments are required. Here is an example command:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
+  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/so101_test \
+  --policy.type=act \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/act_so101_test \
+  --job_name=act_so101_test \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --wandb.enable=true
+```
+
+Let's explain the command:
+1. We provided the dataset as argument with `--dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/so101_test`.
+2. We provided the policy with `policy.type=act`. This loads configurations from [`configuration_act.py`](../lerobot/common/policies/act/configuration_act.py). Importantly, this policy will automatically adapt to the number of motor states, motor actions and cameras of your robot (e.g. `laptop` and `phone`) which have been saved in your dataset.
+4. We provided `policy.device=cuda` since we are training on a Nvidia GPU, but you could use `policy.device=mps` to train on Apple silicon.
+5. We provided `wandb.enable=true` to use [Weights and Biases](https://docs.wandb.ai/quickstart) for visualizing training plots. This is optional but if you use it, make sure you are logged in by running `wandb login`.
+
+Training should take several hours. You will find checkpoints in `outputs/train/act_so101_test/checkpoints`.
+
+To resume training from a checkpoint, below is an example command to resume from `last` checkpoint of the `act_so101_test` policy:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
+  --config_path=outputs/train/act_so101_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model/train_config.json \
+  --resume=true
+```
+
+#### Upload policy checkpoints
+
+Once training is done, upload the latest checkpoint with:
+```bash
+huggingface-cli upload ${HF_USER}/act_so101_test \
+  outputs/train/act_so101_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
+```
+
+You can also upload intermediate checkpoints with:
+```bash
+CKPT=010000
+huggingface-cli upload ${HF_USER}/act_so101_test${CKPT} \
+  outputs/train/act_so101_test/checkpoints/${CKPT}/pretrained_model
+```
+
+## Evaluate your policy
+
+You can use the `record` function from [`lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py`](../lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py) but with a policy checkpoint as input. For instance, run this command to record 10 evaluation episodes:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=so101 \
+  --control.type=record \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.single_task="Grasp a lego block and put it in the bin." \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/eval_act_so101_test \
+  --control.tags='["tutorial"]' \
+  --control.warmup_time_s=5 \
+  --control.episode_time_s=30 \
+  --control.reset_time_s=30 \
+  --control.num_episodes=10 \
+  --control.push_to_hub=true \
+  --control.policy.path=outputs/train/act_so101_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
+```
+
+As you can see, it's almost the same command as previously used to record your training dataset. Two things changed:
+1. There is an additional `--control.policy.path` argument which indicates the path to your policy checkpoint with  (e.g. `outputs/train/eval_act_so101_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model`). You can also use the model repository if you uploaded a model checkpoint to the hub (e.g. `${HF_USER}/act_so101_test`).
+2. The name of dataset begins by `eval` to reflect that you are running inference (e.g. `${HF_USER}/eval_act_so101_test`).

+
+Designate one bus servo adapter and 6 motors for your leader arm, and similarly the other bus servo adapter and 6 motors for the follower arm. It's convenient to label them and write on each motor if it's for the follower `F` or for the leader `L` and it's ID from 1 to 6 (F1...F6 and L1...L6).

-**Add motor horn to the motors**
-Follow step 3 of the [assembly video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FioA2oeFZ5I). For SO-100, you need to align the holes on the motor horn to the motor spline to be approximately 1:30, 4:30, 7:30 and 10:30.
-Try to avoid rotating the motor while doing so to keep position 2048 set during configuration. It is especially tricky for the leader motors as it is more sensible without the gears, but it's ok if it's a bit rotated.

-Follow step 4 of the [assembly video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FioA2oeFZ5I). The first arm should take a bit more than 1 hour to assemble, but once you get use to it, you can do it under 1 hour for the second arm.

-## Calibrate
+</details>
 
-Next, you'll need to calibrate your SO-100 robot to ensure that the leader and follower arms have the same position values when they are in the same physical position. This calibration is essential because it allows a neural network trained on one SO-100 robot to work on another.
 
-**Manual calibration of follower arm**
-/!\ Contrarily to step 6 of the [assembly video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FioA2oeFZ5I) which illustrates the auto calibration, we will actually do manual calibration of follower for now.
+Follow the video for removing gears. You need to remove the gear for the motors of the leader arm. As a result, you will only use the position encoding of the motor and reduce friction to more easily operate the leader arm.
 
-You will need to move the follower arm to these positions sequentially:

+
+## E. Calibrate
+
+Next, you'll need to calibrate your SO-100 robot to ensure that the leader and follower arms have the same position values when they are in the same physical position.
+The calibration process is very important because it allows a neural network trained on one SO-100 robot to work on another.
+
+#### Manual calibration of follower arm
+
+You will need to move the follower arm to these positions sequentially, note that the rotated position is on the right side of the robot and you have to open the gripper fully.

-## Train a policy
+## J. Train a policy
 
 To train a policy to control your robot, use the [`python lerobot/scripts/train.py`](../lerobot/scripts/train.py) script. A few arguments are required. Here is an example command:
 ```bash
 python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
-  dataset_repo_id=${HF_USER}/so100_test \
-  policy=act_so100_real \
-  env=so100_real \
-  hydra.run.dir=outputs/train/act_so100_test \
-  hydra.job.name=act_so100_test \
-  device=cuda \
-  wandb.enable=true
+  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/so100_test \
+  --policy.type=act \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/act_so100_test \
+  --job_name=act_so100_test \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --wandb.enable=true
 ```
 
 Let's explain it:
-1. We provided the dataset as argument with `dataset_repo_id=${HF_USER}/so100_test`.
-2. We provided the policy with `policy=act_so100_real`. This loads configurations from [`lerobot/configs/policy/act_so100_real.yaml`](../lerobot/configs/policy/act_so100_real.yaml). Importantly, this policy uses 2 cameras as input `laptop`, `phone`.
-3. We provided an environment as argument with `env=so100_real`. This loads configurations from [`lerobot/configs/env/so100_real.yaml`](../lerobot/configs/env/so100_real.yaml).
-4. We provided `device=cuda` since we are training on a Nvidia GPU, but you can also use `device=mps` if you are using a Mac with Apple silicon, or `device=cpu` otherwise.
+1. We provided the dataset as argument with `--dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/so100_test`.
+2. We provided the policy with `policy.type=act`. This loads configurations from [`configuration_act.py`](../lerobot/common/policies/act/configuration_act.py). Importantly, this policy will automatically adapt to the number of motor states, motor actions and cameras of your robot (e.g. `laptop` and `phone`) which have been saved in your dataset.
+4. We provided `policy.device=cuda` since we are training on a Nvidia GPU, but you could use `policy.device=mps` to train on Apple silicon.
 5. We provided `wandb.enable=true` to use [Weights and Biases](https://docs.wandb.ai/quickstart) for visualizing training plots. This is optional but if you use it, make sure you are logged in by running `wandb login`.
 
 Training should take several hours. You will find checkpoints in `outputs/train/act_so100_test/checkpoints`.
 
-## Evaluate your policy
+To resume training from a checkpoint, below is an example command to resume from `last` checkpoint of the `act_so100_test` policy:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
+  --config_path=outputs/train/act_so100_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model/train_config.json \
+  --resume=true
+```
+
+## K. Evaluate your policy
 
 You can use the `record` function from [`lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py`](../lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py) but with a policy checkpoint as input. For instance, run this command to record 10 evaluation episodes:
 ```bash
-python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py record \
-  --robot-path lerobot/configs/robot/so100.yaml \
-  --fps 30 \
-  --repo-id ${HF_USER}/eval_act_so100_test \
-  --tags so100 tutorial eval \
-  --warmup-time-s 5 \

 As you can see, it's almost the same command as previously used to record your training dataset. Two things changed:
-1. There is an additional `-p` argument which indicates the path to your policy checkpoint with  (e.g. `-p outputs/train/eval_so100_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model`). You can also use the model repository if you uploaded a model checkpoint to the hub (e.g. `-p ${HF_USER}/act_so100_test`).
-2. The name of dataset begins by `eval` to reflect that you are running inference (e.g. `--repo-id ${HF_USER}/eval_act_so100_test`).
+1. There is an additional `--control.policy.path` argument which indicates the path to your policy checkpoint with  (e.g. `outputs/train/eval_act_so100_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model`). You can also use the model repository if you uploaded a model checkpoint to the hub (e.g. `${HF_USER}/act_so100_test`).

+
+## A. Source the parts
+
+Follow this [README](https://github.com/SIGRobotics-UIUC/LeKiwi). It contains the bill of materials, with a link to source the parts, as well as the instructions to 3D print the parts, and advice if it's your first time printing or if you don't own a 3D printer.
+
+Before assembling, you will first need to configure your motors. To this end, we provide a nice script, so let's first install LeRobot. After configuration, we will also guide you through assembly.
+
+### Wired version
+If you have the **wired** LeKiwi version you can skip the installation of the Raspberry Pi and setting up SSH. You can also run all commands directly on your PC for both the LeKiwi scripts and the leader arm scripts for teleoperating.
+
+## B. Install software on Pi
+Now we have to setup the remote PC that will run on the LeKiwi Robot. This is normally a Raspberry Pi, but can be any PC that can run on 5V and has enough usb ports (2 or more) for the cameras and motor control board.
+
+### Install OS
+For setting up the Raspberry Pi and its SD-card see: [Setup PI](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/getting-started.html). Here is explained how to download the [Imager](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/) to install Raspberry Pi OS or Ubuntu.
+
+### Setup SSH
+After setting up your Pi, you should enable and setup [SSH](https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/coding-on-raspberry-pi-remotely-with-visual-studio-code/) (Secure Shell Protocol) so you can login into the Pi from your laptop without requiring a screen, keyboard and mouse in the Pi. A great tutorial on how to do this can be found [here](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/remote-access.html#ssh). Logging into your Pi can be done in your Command Prompt (cmd) or if you use VSCode you can use [this](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh) extension.

+
+Great :hugs:! You are now done installing LeRobot and we can begin assembling the SO100 arms and Mobile base :robot:.
+Every time you now want to use LeRobot you can go to the `~/lerobot` folder where we installed LeRobot and run one of the commands.
+
+# D. Assembly
+
+First we will assemble the two SO100 arms. One to attach to the mobile base and one for teleoperation. Then we will assemble the mobile base.
+
+## SO100 Arms
+### Configure motors
+The instructions for configuring the motors can be found [Here](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/10_use_so100.md#c-configure-the-motors) in step C of the SO100 tutorial. Besides the ID's for the arm motors we also need to set the motor ID's for the mobile base. These need to be in a specific order to work. Below an image of the motor ID's and motor mounting positions for the mobile base. Note that we only use one Motor Control board on LeKiwi. This means the motor ID's for the wheels are 7, 8 and 9.

+### Assemble arms
+[Assemble arms instruction](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/10_use_so100.md#d-assemble-the-arms)
+
+## Mobile base (LeKiwi)
+[Assemble LeKiwi](https://github.com/SIGRobotics-UIUC/LeKiwi)
+
+### Update config
+Both config files on the LeKiwi LeRobot and on the laptop should be the same. First we should find the Ip address of the Raspberry Pi of the mobile manipulator. This is the same Ip address used in SSH. We also need the usb port of the control board of the leader arm on the laptop and the port of the control board on LeKiwi. We can find these ports with the following script.
+
+#### a. Run the script to find port
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>Video finding port</strong></summary>
+  <video src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4a21a14d-2046-4805-93c4-ee97a30ba33f"></video>
+  <video src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1cc3aecf-c16d-4ff9-aec7-8c175afbbce2"></video>
+</details>
+
+To find the port for each bus servo adapter, run the utility script:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/find_motors_bus_port.py
+```
+
+#### b. Example outputs
+
+Example output when identifying the leader arm's port (e.g., `/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0031751` on Mac, or possibly `/dev/ttyACM0` on Linux):
+```
+Finding all available ports for the MotorBus.
+['/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081', '/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0031751']
+Remove the usb cable from your DynamixelMotorsBus and press Enter when done.
+
+[...Disconnect leader arm and press Enter...]
+
+The port of this DynamixelMotorsBus is /dev/tty.usbmodem575E0031751
+Reconnect the usb cable.
+```
+Example output when identifying the follower arm's port (e.g., `/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081`, or possibly `/dev/ttyACM1` on Linux):
+```
+Finding all available ports for the MotorBus.
+['/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081', '/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0031751']
+Remove the usb cable from your DynamixelMotorsBus and press Enter when done.
+
+[...Disconnect follower arm and press Enter...]
+
+The port of this DynamixelMotorsBus is /dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081
+Reconnect the usb cable.
+```
+
+#### c. Troubleshooting
+On Linux, you might need to give access to the USB ports by running:
+```bash
+sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyACM0
+sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyACM1
+```
+
+#### d. Update config file
+
+IMPORTANTLY: Now that you have your ports of leader and follower arm and ip address of the mobile-so100, update the **ip** in Network configuration, **port** in leader_arms and **port** in lekiwi. In the [`LeKiwiRobotConfig`](../lerobot/common/robot_devices/robots/configs.py) file. Where you will find something like:
+```python
+@RobotConfig.register_subclass("lekiwi")
+@dataclass
+class LeKiwiRobotConfig(RobotConfig):
+    # `max_relative_target` limits the magnitude of the relative positional target vector for safety purposes.

+# E. Calibration
+Now we have to calibrate the leader arm and the follower arm. The wheel motors don't have to be calibrated.
+
+
+### Calibrate follower arm (on mobile base)
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Contrarily to step 6 of the [assembly video](https://youtu.be/FioA2oeFZ5I?t=724) which illustrates the auto calibration, we will actually do manual calibration of follower for now.
+
+You will need to move the follower arm to these positions sequentially:
+
+| 1. Zero position                                                                                                                                                  | 2. Rotated position                                                                                                                                                        | 3.

+
+Run this script (on your laptop/pc) to launch manual calibration:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=lekiwi \
+  --robot.cameras='{}' \
+  --control.type=calibrate \
+  --control.arms='["main_leader"]'
+```
+
+# F. Teleoperate
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If you're using a Mac, you might need to give Terminal permission to access your keyboard. Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Input Monitoring and check the box for Terminal.
+
+To teleoperate SSH into your Raspberry Pi, and run `conda activate lerobot` and this script:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=lekiwi \
+  --control.type=remote_robot
+```
+
+Then on your laptop, also run `conda activate lerobot` and this script:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=lekiwi \
+  --control.type=teleoperate \
+  --control.fps=30
+```
+
+> **NOTE:** To visualize the data, enable `--control.display_data=true`. This streams the data using `rerun`. For the `--control.type=remote_robot` you will also need to set `--control.viewer_ip` and `--control.viewer_port`
+
+You should see on your laptop something like this: ```[INFO] Connected to remote robot at tcp://172.17.133.91:5555 and video stream at tcp://172.17.133.91:5556.``` Now you can move the leader arm and use the keyboard (w,a,s,d) to drive forward, left, backwards, right. And use (z,x) to turn left or turn right. You can use (r,f) to increase and decrease the speed of the mobile robot. There are three speed modes, see the table below:
+| Speed Mode | Linear Speed (m/s) | Rotation Speed (deg/s) |
+| ---------- | ------------------ | ---------------------- |
+| Fast       | 0.4                | 90                     |
+| Medium     | 0.25               | 60                     |
+| Slow       | 0.1                | 30                     |
+
+
+| Key | Action         |
+| --- | -------------- |
+| W   | Move forward   |
+| A   | Move left      |
+| S   | Move backward  |
+| D   | Move right     |
+| Z   | Turn left      |
+| X   | Turn right     |
+| R   | Increase speed |
+| F   | Decrease speed |
+
+> [!TIP]
+>  If you use a different keyboard you can change the keys for each command in the [`LeKiwiRobotConfig`](../lerobot/common/robot_devices/robots/configs.py).
+
+### Wired version
+If you have the **wired** LeKiwi version please run all commands including both these teleoperation commands on your laptop.
+
+## Troubleshoot communication
+
+If you are having trouble connecting to the Mobile SO100, follow these steps to diagnose and resolve the issue.
+
+### 1. Verify IP Address Configuration
+Make sure that the correct ip for the Pi is set in the configuration file. To check the Raspberry Pi's IP address, run (on the Pi command line):
+```bash
+hostname -I
+```
+
+### 2. Check if Pi is reachable from laptop/pc
+Try pinging the Raspberry Pi from your laptop:
+```bach
+ping <your_pi_ip_address>
+```
+
+If the ping fails:
+- Ensure the Pi is powered on and connected to the same network.
+- Check if SSH is enabled on the Pi.
+
+### 3. Try SSH connection
+If you can't SSH into the Pi, it might not be properly connected. Use:
+```bash
+ssh <your_pi_user_name>@<your_pi_ip_address>
+```
+If you get a connection error:
+- Ensure SSH is enabled on the Pi by running:
+  ```bash
+  sudo raspi-config
+  ```
+  Then navigate to: **Interfacing Options -> SSH** and enable it.
+
+### 4. Same config file
+Make sure the configuration file on both your laptop/pc and the Raspberry Pi is the same.
+
+# G. Record a dataset
+Once you're familiar with teleoperation, you can record your first dataset with LeKiwi.
+
+To start the program on LeKiwi, SSH into your Raspberry Pi, and run `conda activate lerobot` and this script:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=lekiwi \
+  --control.type=remote_robot
+```
+
+If you want to use the Hugging Face hub features for uploading your dataset and you haven't previously done it, make sure you've logged in using a write-access token, which can be generated from the [Hugging Face settings](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens):
+```bash
+huggingface-cli login --token ${HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN} --add-to-git-credential
+```
+
+Store your Hugging Face repository name in a variable to run these commands:
+```bash
+HF_USER=$(huggingface-cli whoami | head -n 1)
+echo $HF_USER
+```
+On your laptop then run this command to record 2 episodes and upload your dataset to the hub:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=lekiwi \
+  --control.type=record \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.single_task="Grasp a lego block and put it in the bin." \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/lekiwi_test \
+  --control.tags='["tutorial"]' \
+  --control.warmup_time_s=5 \
+  --control.episode_time_s=30 \
+  --control.reset_time_s=30 \
+  --control.num_episodes=2 \
+  --control.push_to_hub=true
+```
+
+Note: You can resume recording by adding `--control.resume=true`.
+
+### Wired version
+If you have the **wired** LeKiwi version please run all commands including both these record dataset commands on your laptop.
+
+# H. Visualize a dataset
+
+If you uploaded your dataset to the hub with `--control.push_to_hub=true`, you can [visualize your dataset online](https://huggingface.co/spaces/lerobot/visualize_dataset) by copy pasting your repo id given by:
+```bash
+echo ${HF_USER}/lekiwi_test
+```
+
+If you didn't upload with `--control.push_to_hub=false`, you can also visualize it locally with (a window can be opened in the browser `http://127.0.0.1:9090` with the visualization tool):
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/visualize_dataset_html.py \
+  --repo-id ${HF_USER}/lekiwi_test \
+  --local-files-only 1
+```
+
+# I. Replay an episode
+Now try to replay the first episode on your robot:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=lekiwi \
+  --control.type=replay \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/lekiwi_test \
+  --control.episode=0
+```
+
+## J. Train a policy
+
+To train a policy to control your robot, use the [`python lerobot/scripts/train.py`](../lerobot/scripts/train.py) script. A few arguments are required. Here is an example command:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
+  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/lekiwi_test \
+  --policy.type=act \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/act_lekiwi_test \
+  --job_name=act_lekiwi_test \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --wandb.enable=true
+```
+
+Let's explain it:
+1. We provided the dataset as argument with `--dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/lekiwi_test`.
+2. We provided the policy with `policy.type=act`. This loads configurations from [`configuration_act.py`](../lerobot/common/policies/act/configuration_act.py). Importantly, this policy will automatically adapt to the number of motor states, motor actions and cameras of your robot (e.g. `laptop` and `phone`) which have been saved in your dataset.
+4. We provided `policy.device=cuda` since we are training on a Nvidia GPU, but you could use `policy.device=mps` to train on Apple silicon.
+5. We provided `wandb.enable=true` to use [Weights and Biases](https://docs.wandb.ai/quickstart) for visualizing training plots. This is optional but if you use it, make sure you are logged in by running `wandb login`.
+
+Training should take several hours. You will find checkpoints in `outputs/train/act_lekiwi_test/checkpoints`.
+
+## K. Evaluate your policy
+
+You can use the `record` function from [`lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py`](../lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py) but with a policy checkpoint as input. For instance, run this command to record 10 evaluation episodes:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=lekiwi \
+  --control.type=record \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.single_task="Drive to the red block and pick it up" \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/eval_act_lekiwi_test \
+  --control.tags='["tutorial"]' \
+  --control.warmup_time_s=5 \
+  --control.episode_time_s=30 \
+  --control.reset_time_s=30 \
+  --control.num_episodes=10 \
+  --control.push_to_hub=true \
+  --control.policy.path=outputs/train/act_lekiwi_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
+```
+
+As you can see, it's almost the same command as previously used to record your training dataset. Two things changed:
+1. There is an additional `--control.policy.path` argument which indicates the path to your policy checkpoint with  (e.g. `outputs/train/eval_act_lekiwi_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model`). You can also use the model repository if you uploaded a model checkpoint to the hub (e.g. `${HF_USER}/act_lekiwi_test`).
+2. The name of dataset begins by `eval` to reflect that you are running inference (e.g. `${HF_USER}/eval_act_lekiwi_test`).

+# Assemble and use SO-101
+
+In the steps below we explain how to assemble and use our flagship robot, the SO-101 with LeRobot 🤗.
+
+## Source the parts
+
+Follow this [README](https://github.com/TheRobotStudio/SO-ARM100). It contains the bill of materials, with a link to source the parts, as well as the instructions to 3D print the parts,
+and advice if it's your first time printing or if you don't own a 3D printer.
+
+Before assembling, you will first need to configure your motors. To this end, we provide a nice script, so let's first install LeRobot. After configuration, we will also guide you through assembly.
+
+## Install LeRobot
+
+> [!TIP]
+> We use the Command Prompt (cmd) quite a lot. If you are not comfortable using the cmd or want to brush up using the command line you can have a look here: [Command line crash course](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn_web_development/Getting_started/Environment_setup/Command_line)
+
+Download our source code:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git
+cd lerobot
+```
+
+Create a virtual environment with Python 3.10 and activate it, e.g. with [`miniconda`](https://docs.anaconda.com/miniconda/install/#quick-command-line-install):
+```bash
+conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.10
+```
+Now restart the shell by running:
+
+##### Windows:
+```bash
+`source ~/.bashrc`
+```
+
+##### Mac:
+```bash
+`source ~/.bash_profile`
+```
+
+##### zshell:
+```bash
+`source ~/.zshrc`
+```
+
+Then activate your conda environment, you have to do this each time you open a shell to use lerobot:
+```bash
+conda activate lerobot
+```
+
+When using `miniconda`, install `ffmpeg` in your environment:
+```bash
+conda install ffmpeg -c conda-forge
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This usually installs `ffmpeg 7.X` for your platform compiled with the `libsvtav1` encoder. If `libsvtav1` is not supported (check supported encoders with `ffmpeg -encoders`), you can:
+>  - _[On any platform]_ Explicitly install `ffmpeg 7.X` using:
+>  ```bash
+>  conda install ffmpeg=7.1.1 -c conda-forge
+>  ```
+>  - _[On Linux only]_ Install [ffmpeg build dependencies](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu#GettheDependencies) and [compile ffmpeg from source with libsvtav1](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu#libsvtav1), and make sure you use the corresponding ffmpeg binary to your install with `which ffmpeg`.
+
+Install 🤗 LeRobot:
+```bash
+cd lerobot && pip install -e ".[feetech]"
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If you encounter build errors, you may need to install additional dependencies (`cmake`, `build-essential`, and `ffmpeg libs`). On Linux, run: `sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential python3-dev pkg-config libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev libavdevice-dev libavutil-dev libswscale-dev libswresample-dev libavfilter-dev pkg-config`. For other systems, see: [Compiling PyAV](https://pyav.org/docs/develop/overview/installation.html#bring-your-own-ffmpeg)
+
+
+## Configure motors
+
+To configure the motors designate one bus servo adapter and 6 motors for your leader arm, and similarly the other bus servo adapter and 6 motors for the follower arm. It's convenient to label them and write on each motor if it's for the follower `F` or for the leader `L` and it's ID from 1 to 6.
+
+You now should plug the 5V or 12V power supply to the motor bus. 5V for the STS3215 7.4V motors and 12V for the STS3215 12V motors. Note that the leader arm always uses the 7.4V motors, so watch out that you plug in the right power supply if you have 12V and 7.4V motors, otherwise you might burn your motors! Now, connect the motor bus to your computer via USB. Note that the USB doesn't provide any power, and both the power supply and USB have to be plugged in.
+
+### Find the USB ports associated to each arm
+
+To find the port for each bus servo adapter, run this script:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/find_motors_bus_port.py
+```
+#### Example outputs of script
+
+##### Mac:
+Example output leader arm's port: `/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0031751`

+
+[...Disconnect follower arm and press Enter...]
+
+The port of this MotorsBus is /dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081
+Reconnect the usb cable.
+```
+
+##### Linux:
+On Linux, you might need to give access to the USB ports by running:
+```bash
+sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyACM0
+sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyACM1
+```
+
+Example output leader arm port: `/dev/ttyACM0`
+
+```bash
+Finding all available ports for the MotorBus.
+['/dev/ttyACM0', '/dev/ttyACM1']
+Remove the usb cable from your MotorsBus and press Enter when done.
+
+[...Disconnect leader arm and press Enter...]
+
+The port of this MotorsBus is /dev/ttyACM0
+Reconnect the usb cable.
+```
+
+Example output follower arm port: `/dev/ttyACM1`
+
+```
+Finding all available ports for the MotorBus.
+['/dev/ttyACM0', '/dev/ttyACM1']
+Remove the usb cable from your MotorsBus and press Enter when done.
+
+[...Disconnect follower arm and press Enter...]
+
+The port of this MotorsBus is /dev/ttyACM1

+
+#### Update config file
+
+Now that you have your ports, update the **port** default values of [`SO101RobotConfig`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/lerobot/common/robot_devices/robots/configs.py).
+You will find a class called `so101` where you can update the `port` values with your actual motor ports:

+
+### Set motor IDs
+
+Now we need to set the motor ID for each motor. Plug your motor in only one of the two ports of the motor bus and run this script to set its ID to 1. Replace the text after --port to the corresponding control board port.
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/configure_motor.py \
+  --port /dev/tty.usbmodem58760432961 \
+  --brand feetech \
+  --model sts3215 \
+  --baudrate 1000000 \
+  --ID 1
+```
+
+Then unplug your motor and plug the second motor and set its ID to 2.
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/configure_motor.py \
+  --port /dev/tty.usbmodem58760432961 \
+  --brand feetech \
+  --model sts3215 \
+  --baudrate 1000000 \
+  --ID 2
+```
+
+Redo this process for all your motors until ID 6. Do the same for the 6 motors of the leader arm, but make sure to change the power supply if you use motors with different voltage.
+
+Here is a video of the process:

+
+## Step-by-Step Assembly Instructions
+
+The follower arm uses 6x STS3215 motors with 1/345 gearing. The leader however uses three differently geared motors to make sure it can both sustain its own weight and it can be moved without requiring much force. Which motor is needed for which joint is shown in table below.
+
+| Leader-Arm Axis | Motor | Gear Ratio |
+|-----------------|:-------:|:----------:|
+| Base / Shoulder Yaw | 1 | 1 / 191 |
+| Shoulder Pitch      | 2 | 1 / 345 |
+| Elbow               | 3 | 1 / 191 |
+| Wrist Roll          | 4 | 1 / 147 |
+| Wrist Pitch         | 5 | 1 / 147 |
+| Gripper             | 6 | 1 / 147 |

+
+## Calibrate
+
+Next, you'll need to calibrate your SO-101 robot to ensure that the leader and follower arms have the same position values when they are in the same physical position.
+The calibration process is very important because it allows a neural network trained on one SO-101 robot to work on another.
+
+#### Manual calibration of follower arm
+
+You will need to move the follower arm to these positions sequentially, note that the rotated position is on the right side of the robot and you have to open the gripper fully.
+
+| 1. Middle position | 2. Zero position                                                                                                                                       | 3. Rotated position                                                                                                                                             | 4. Rest position                                                                                                                                       |
+| ------------ |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| <img src="../media/so101/follower_middle.webp?raw=true" alt="SO-101 leader arm middle position" title="SO-101 leader arm middle position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/so101/follower_zero.webp?raw=true" alt="SO-101 leader arm zero position" title="SO-101 leader arm zero position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/so101/follower_rotated.webp?raw=true" alt="SO-101 leader arm rotated position" title="SO-101 leader arm rotated position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/so101/follower_rest.webp?raw=true" alt="SO-101 leader arm rest position" title="SO-101 leader arm rest position" style="width:100%;"> |
+
+Make sure both arms are connected and run this script to launch manual calibration:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=so101 \
+  --robot.cameras='{}' \
+  --control.type=calibrate \
+  --control.arms='["main_follower"]'
+```
+
+#### Manual calibration of leader arm
+You will also need to move the leader arm to these positions sequentially:
+
+| 1. Middle position | 2. Zero position                                                                                                                                       | 3. Rotated position                                                                                                                                             | 4. Rest position                                                                                                                                       |
+| ------------ |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| <img src="../media/so101/leader_middle.webp?raw=true" alt="SO-101 leader arm middle position" title="SO-101 leader arm middle position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/so101/leader_zero.webp?raw=true" alt="SO-101 leader arm zero position" title="SO-101 leader arm zero position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/so101/leader_rotated.webp?raw=true" alt="SO-101 leader arm rotated position" title="SO-101 leader arm rotated position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/so101/leader_rest.webp?raw=true" alt="SO-101 leader arm rest position" title="SO-101 leader arm rest position" style="width:100%;"> |
+
+Run this script to launch manual calibration:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=so101 \
+  --robot.cameras='{}' \
+  --control.type=calibrate \
+  --control.arms='["main_leader"]'
+```
+## Control your robot
+
+Congrats 🎉, your robot is all set to learn a task on its own. Next we will explain to you how to train a neural network to autonomously control a real robot.
+
+**You'll learn to:**
+1. How to record and visualize your dataset.
+2. How to train a policy using your data and prepare it for evaluation.
+3. How to evaluate your policy and visualize the results.
+
+By following these steps, you'll be able to replicate tasks like picking up a Lego block and placing it in a bin with a high success rate, as demonstrated in [this video](https://x.com/RemiCadene/status/1814680760592572934).
+
+This tutorial is specifically made for the affordable [SO-101](https://github.com/TheRobotStudio/SO-ARM100) robot, but it contains additional information to be easily adapted to various types of robots like [Aloha bimanual robot](https://aloha-2.github.io) by changing some configurations. The SO-101 consists of a leader arm and a follower arm, each with 6 motors. It can work with one or several cameras to record the scene, which serve as visual sensors for the robot.
+
+During the data collection phase, you will control the follower arm by moving the leader arm. This process is known as "teleoperation." This technique is used to collect robot trajectories. Afterward, you'll train a neural network to imitate these trajectories and deploy the network to enable your robot to operate autonomously.
+
+If you encounter any issues at any step of the tutorial, feel free to seek help on [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/s3KuuzsPFb) or don't hesitate to iterate with us on the tutorial by creating issues or pull requests.
+
+## Teleoperate
+
+Run this simple script to teleoperate your robot (it won't connect and display the cameras):
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=so101 \
+  --robot.cameras='{}' \
+  --control.type=teleoperate
+```
+
+The teleoperate command will automatically:
+1. Identify any missing calibrations and initiate the calibration procedure.
+2. Connect the robot and start teleoperation.
+
+## Setup Cameras
+
+To connect a camera you have three options:
+1. OpenCVCamera which allows us to use any camera: usb, realsense, laptop webcam
+2. iPhone camera with MacOS
+3. Phone camera on Linux
+
+### Use OpenCVCamera
+
+The [`OpenCVCamera`](../lerobot/common/robot_devices/cameras/opencv.py) class allows you to efficiently record frames from most cameras using the [`opencv2`](https://docs.opencv.org) library.  For more details on compatibility, see [Video I/O with OpenCV Overview](https://docs.opencv.org/4.x/d0/da7/videoio_overview.html).
+
+To instantiate an [`OpenCVCamera`](../lerobot/common/robot_devices/cameras/opencv.py), you need a camera index (e.g. `OpenCVCamera(camera_index=0)`). When you only have one camera like a webcam of a laptop, the camera index is usually `0` but it might differ, and the camera index might change if you reboot your computer or re-plug your camera. This behavior depends on your operating system.
+
+To find the camera indices, run the following utility script, which will save a few frames from each detected camera:
+```bash
+python lerobot/common/robot_devices/cameras/opencv.py \
+    --images-dir outputs/images_from_opencv_cameras
+```
+
+The output will look something like this if you have two cameras connected:
+```
+Mac or Windows detected. Finding available camera indices through scanning all indices from 0 to 60
+[...]
+Camera found at index 0
+Camera found at index 1
+[...]
+Connecting cameras
+OpenCVCamera(0, fps=30.0, width=1920.0, height=1080.0, color_mode=rgb)
+OpenCVCamera(1, fps=24.0, width=1920.0, height=1080.0, color_mode=rgb)
+Saving images to outputs/images_from_opencv_cameras
+Frame: 0000 Latency (ms): 39.52
+[...]
+Frame: 0046 Latency (ms): 40.07
+Images have been saved to outputs/images_from_opencv_cameras
+```
+
+Check the saved images in `outputs/images_from_opencv_cameras` to identify which camera index corresponds to which physical camera (e.g. `0` for `camera_00` or `1` for `camera_01`):
+```
+camera_00_frame_000000.png
+[...]
+camera_00_frame_000047.png
+camera_01_frame_000000.png
+[...]
+camera_01_frame_000047.png
+```
+
+Note: Some cameras may take a few seconds to warm up, and the first frame might be black or green.
+
+Now that you have the camera indexes, you should change them in the config. You can also change the fps, width or height of the camera.
+
+The camera config is defined per robot, can be found here [`RobotConfig`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/lerobot/common/robot_devices/robots/configs.py) and looks like this:
+```python
+cameras: dict[str, CameraConfig] = field(
+        default_factory=lambda: {
+            "wrist": OpenCVCameraConfig(
+                camera_index=0,  <-- UPDATE HERE
+                fps=30,
+                width=640,
+                height=480,
+            ),
+            "base": OpenCVCameraConfig(
+                camera_index=1,   <-- UPDATE HERE
+                fps=30,
+                width=640,
+                height=480,
+            ),
+        }
+    )
+```
+
+### Use your phone
+#### Mac:
+
+To use your iPhone as a camera on macOS, enable the Continuity Camera feature:
+- Ensure your Mac is running macOS 13 or later, and your iPhone is on iOS 16 or later.
+- Sign in both devices with the same Apple ID.
+- Connect your devices with a USB cable or turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for a wireless connection.
+
+For more details, visit [Apple support](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchl77879b8a/mac).
+
+Your iPhone should be detected automatically when running the camera setup script in the next section.
+
+#### Linux:
+
+If you want to use your phone as a camera on Linux, follow these steps to set up a virtual camera
+
+1. *Install `v4l2loopback-dkms` and `v4l-utils`*. Those packages are required to create virtual camera devices (`v4l2loopback`) and verify their settings with the `v4l2-ctl` utility from `v4l-utils`. Install them using:
+```python
+sudo apt install v4l2loopback-dkms v4l-utils
+```
+2. *Install [DroidCam](https://droidcam.app) on your phone*. This app is available for both iOS and Android.
+3. *Install [OBS Studio](https://obsproject.com)*. This software will help you manage the camera feed. Install it using [Flatpak](https://flatpak.org):
+```python
+flatpak install flathub com.obsproject.Studio
+```
+4. *Install the DroidCam OBS plugin*. This plugin integrates DroidCam with OBS Studio. Install it with:
+```python
+flatpak install flathub com.obsproject.Studio.Plugin.DroidCam
+```
+5. *Start OBS Studio*. Launch with:
+```python
+flatpak run com.obsproject.Studio
+```
+6. *Add your phone as a source*. Follow the instructions [here](https://droidcam.app/obs/usage). Be sure to set the resolution to `640x480`.
+7. *Adjust resolution settings*. In OBS Studio, go to `File > Settings > Video`. Change the `Base(Canvas) Resolution` and the `Output(Scaled) Resolution` to `640x480` by manually typing it in.
+8. *Start virtual camera*. In OBS Studio, follow the instructions [here](https://obsproject.com/kb/virtual-camera-guide).
+9. *Verify the virtual camera setup*. Use `v4l2-ctl` to list the devices:
+```python
+v4l2-ctl --list-devices
+```
+You should see an entry like:
+```
+VirtualCam (platform:v4l2loopback-000):
+/dev/video1
+```
+10. *Check the camera resolution*. Use `v4l2-ctl` to ensure that the virtual camera output resolution is `640x480`. Change `/dev/video1` to the port of your virtual camera from the output of `v4l2-ctl --list-devices`.
+```python
+v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 --get-fmt-video
+```
+You should see an entry like:
+```
+>>> Format Video Capture:
+>>> Width/Height      : 640/480
+>>> Pixel Format      : 'YUYV' (YUYV 4:2:2)
+```
+
+Troubleshooting: If the resolution is not correct you will have to delete the Virtual Camera port and try again as it cannot be changed.
+
+If everything is set up correctly, you can proceed with the rest of the tutorial.
+
+### Add wrist camera
+If you have an additional camera you can add a wrist camera to the SO101. There are already many premade wrist camera holders that you can find in the SO101 repo: [Wrist camera's](https://github.com/TheRobotStudio/SO-ARM100#wrist-cameras)
+
+## Teleoperate with cameras
+
+We can now teleoperate again while at the same time visualizing the cameras and joint positions with `rerun`.
+
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=so101 \
+  --control.type=teleoperate \
+  --control.display_data=true
+```
+
+## Record a dataset
+
+Once you're familiar with teleoperation, you can record your first dataset with SO-101.
+
+We use the Hugging Face hub features for uploading your dataset. If you haven't previously used the Hub, make sure you can login via the cli using a write-access token, this token can be generated from the [Hugging Face settings](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens).
+
+Add your token to the cli by running this command:
+```bash
+huggingface-cli login --token ${HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN} --add-to-git-credential
+```
+
+Then store your Hugging Face repository name in a variable:
+```bash
+HF_USER=$(huggingface-cli whoami | head -n 1)
+echo $HF_USER
+```
+
+Now you can record a dataset, to record 2 episodes and upload your dataset to the hub execute this command:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=so101 \
+  --control.type=record \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.single_task="Grasp a lego block and put it in the bin." \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/so101_test \
+  --control.tags='["so101","tutorial"]' \
+  --control.warmup_time_s=5 \
+  --control.episode_time_s=30 \
+  --control.reset_time_s=30 \
+  --control.num_episodes=2 \
+  --control.display_data=true \
+  --control.push_to_hub=true
+```
+
+You will see a lot of lines appearing like this one:
+```
+INFO 2024-08-10 15:02:58 ol_robot.py:219 dt:33.34 (30.0hz) dtRlead: 5.06 (197.5hz) dtWfoll: 0.25 (3963.7hz) dtRfoll: 6.22 (160.7hz) dtRlaptop: 32.57 (30.7hz) dtRphone: 33.84 (29.5hz)
+```
+It contains:
+- `2024-08-10 15:02:58` which is the date and time of the call to the print function,
+- `ol_robot.py:219` which is the end of the file name and the line number where the print function is called  (`lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py` line `219`).
+- `dt:33.34 (30.0hz)` which is the "delta time" or the number of milliseconds spent between the previous call to `robot.teleop_step(record_data=True)` and the current one, associated with the frequency (33.34 ms equals 30.0 Hz) ; note that we use `--fps 30` so we expect 30.0 Hz ; when a step takes more time, the line appears in yellow.
+- `dtRlead: 5.06 (197.5hz)` which is the delta time of reading the present position of the leader arm.
+- `dtWfoll: 0.25 (3963.7hz)` which is the delta time of writing the goal position on the follower arm ; writing is asynchronous so it takes less time than reading.
+- `dtRfoll: 6.22 (160.7hz)` which is the delta time of reading the present position on the follower arm.
+- `dtRlaptop:32.57 (30.7hz) ` which is the delta time of capturing an image from the laptop camera in the thread running asynchronously.
+- `dtRphone:33.84 (29.5hz)` which is the delta time of capturing an image from the phone camera in the thread running asynchronously.
+
+#### Dataset upload
+Locally your dataset is stored in this folder: `~/.cache/huggingface/lerobot/{repo-id}` (e.g. `data/cadene/so101_test`). At the end of data recording, your dataset will be uploaded on your Hugging Face page (e.g. https://huggingface.co/datasets/cadene/so101_test) that you can obtain by running:
+```bash
+echo https://huggingface.co/datasets/${HF_USER}/so101_test
+```
+Your dataset will be automatically tagged with `LeRobot` for the community to find it easily, and you can also add custom tags (in this case `tutorial` for example).
+
+You can look for other LeRobot datasets on the hub by searching for `LeRobot` [tags](https://huggingface.co/datasets?other=LeRobot).
+
+#### Record function
+
+The `record` function provides a suite of tools for capturing and managing data during robot operation:
+1. Set the flow of data recording using command line arguments:
+   - `--control.warmup_time_s=10` defines the number of seconds before starting data collection. It allows the robot devices to warmup and synchronize (10 seconds by default).
+   - `--control.episode_time_s=60` defines the number of seconds for data recording for each episode (60 seconds by default).
+   - `--control.reset_time_s=60` defines the number of seconds for resetting the environment after each episode (60 seconds by default).
+   - `--control.num_episodes=50` defines the number of episodes to record (50 by default).
+2. Control the flow during data recording using keyboard keys:
+   - Press right arrow `->` at any time during episode recording to early stop and go to resetting. Same during resetting, to early stop and to go to the next episode recording.
+   - Press left arrow `<-` at any time during episode recording or resetting to early stop, cancel the current episode, and re-record it.
+   - Press escape `ESC` at any time during episode recording to end the session early and go straight to video encoding and dataset uploading.
+3. Checkpoints are done set during recording, so if any issue occurs, you can resume recording by re-running the same command again with `--control.resume=true`. You will need to manually delete the dataset directory if you want to start recording from scratch.
+
+#### Tips for gathering data
+
+Once you're comfortable with data recording, you can create a larger dataset for training. A good starting task is grasping an object at different locations and placing it in a bin. We suggest recording at least 50 episodes, with 10 episodes per location. Keep the cameras fixed and maintain consistent grasping behavior throughout the recordings. Also make sure the object you are manipulating is visible on the camera's. A good rule of thumb is you should be able to do the task yourself by only looking at the camera images.
+
+In the following sections, you’ll train your neural network. After achieving reliable grasping performance, you can start introducing more variations during data collection, such as additional grasp locations, different grasping techniques, and altering camera positions.
+
+Avoid adding too much variation too quickly, as it may hinder your results.
+
+#### Troubleshooting:
+- On Linux, if the left and right arrow keys and escape key don't have any effect during data recording, make sure you've set the `$DISPLAY` environment variable. See [pynput limitations](https://pynput.readthedocs.io/en/latest/limitations.html#linux).
+
+## Visualize a dataset
+
+If you uploaded your dataset to the hub with `--control.push_to_hub=true`, you can [visualize your dataset online](https://huggingface.co/spaces/lerobot/visualize_dataset) by copy pasting your repo id given by:
+```bash
+echo ${HF_USER}/so101_test
+```
+
+If you didn't upload with `--control.push_to_hub=false`, you can visualize it locally with (via a window in the browser `http://127.0.0.1:9090` with the visualization tool):
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/visualize_dataset_html.py \
+  --repo-id ${HF_USER}/so101_test \
+  --local-files-only 1
+```
+
+This will launch a local web server that looks like this:
+
+<div style="text-align:center;">
+  <img src="../media/tutorial/visualize_dataset_html.webp?raw=true" alt="Koch v1.1 leader and follower arms" title="Koch v1.1 leader and follower arms" width="100%"></img>
+</div>
+
+## Replay an episode
+
+A useful feature is the `replay` function, which allows to replay on your robot any episode that you've recorded or episodes from any dataset out there. This function helps you test the repeatability of your robot's actions and assess transferability across robots of the same model.
+
+You can replay the first episode on your robot with:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=so101 \
+  --control.type=replay \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/so101_test \
+  --control.episode=0
+```
+
+Your robot should replicate movements similar to those you recorded. For example, check out [this video](https://x.com/RemiCadene/status/1793654950905680090) where we use `replay` on a Aloha robot from [Trossen Robotics](https://www.trossenrobotics.com).
+
+## Train a policy
+
+To train a policy to control your robot, use the [`python lerobot/scripts/train.py`](../lerobot/scripts/train.py) script. A few arguments are required. Here is an example command:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
+  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/so101_test \
+  --policy.type=act \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/act_so101_test \
+  --job_name=act_so101_test \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --wandb.enable=true
+```
+
+Let's explain the command:
+1. We provided the dataset as argument with `--dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/so101_test`.
+2. We provided the policy with `policy.type=act`. This loads configurations from [`configuration_act.py`](../lerobot/common/policies/act/configuration_act.py). Importantly, this policy will automatically adapt to the number of motor states, motor actions and cameras of your robot (e.g. `laptop` and `phone`) which have been saved in your dataset.
+4. We provided `policy.device=cuda` since we are training on a Nvidia GPU, but you could use `policy.device=mps` to train on Apple silicon.
+5. We provided `wandb.enable=true` to use [Weights and Biases](https://docs.wandb.ai/quickstart) for visualizing training plots. This is optional but if you use it, make sure you are logged in by running `wandb login`.
+
+Training should take several hours. You will find checkpoints in `outputs/train/act_so101_test/checkpoints`.
+
+To resume training from a checkpoint, below is an example command to resume from `last` checkpoint of the `act_so101_test` policy:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
+  --config_path=outputs/train/act_so101_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model/train_config.json \
+  --resume=true
+```
+
+#### Upload policy checkpoints
+
+Once training is done, upload the latest checkpoint with:
+```bash
+huggingface-cli upload ${HF_USER}/act_so101_test \
+  outputs/train/act_so101_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
+```
+
+You can also upload intermediate checkpoints with:
+```bash
+CKPT=010000
+huggingface-cli upload ${HF_USER}/act_so101_test${CKPT} \
+  outputs/train/act_so101_test/checkpoints/${CKPT}/pretrained_model
+```
+
+## Evaluate your policy
+
+You can use the `record` function from [`lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py`](../lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py) but with a policy checkpoint as input. For instance, run this command to record 10 evaluation episodes:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=so101 \
+  --control.type=record \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.single_task="Grasp a lego block and put it in the bin." \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/eval_act_so101_test \
+  --control.tags='["tutorial"]' \
+  --control.warmup_time_s=5 \
+  --control.episode_time_s=30 \
+  --control.reset_time_s=30 \
+  --control.num_episodes=10 \
+  --control.push_to_hub=true \
+  --control.policy.path=outputs/train/act_so101_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
+```
+
+As you can see, it's almost the same command as previously used to record your training dataset. Two things changed:
+1. There is an additional `--control.policy.path` argument which indicates the path to your policy checkpoint with  (e.g. `outputs/train/eval_act_so101_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model`). You can also use the model repository if you uploaded a model checkpoint to the hub (e.g. `${HF_USER}/act_so101_test`).
+2. The name of dataset begins by `eval` to reflect that you are running inference (e.g. `${HF_USER}/eval_act_so101_test`).

+LeRobot offers a training script at [`lerobot/scripts/train.py`](../lerobot/scripts/train.py). At a high level it does the following:

+- (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.
 
-## Basics of how we use Hydra
-
-Explaining the ins and outs of [Hydra](https://hydra.cc/docs/intro/) is beyond the scope of this document, but here we'll share the main points you need to know.
-
-First, `lerobot/configs` has a directory structure like this:
-
-```
-.
-├── default.yaml
-├── env
-│   ├── aloha.yaml
-│   ├── pusht.yaml
-│   └── xarm.yaml
-└── policy
-    ├── act.yaml
-    ├── diffusion.yaml
-    └── tdmpc.yaml
-```
-
-**_For brevity, in the rest of this document we'll drop the leading `lerobot/configs` path. So `default.yaml` really refers to `lerobot/configs/default.yaml`._**
-
-When you run the training script with
+## Overview of the configuration system
 
+In the training script, the main function `train` expects a `TrainPipelineConfig` object:
 ```python
-python lerobot/scripts/train.py
+# train.py
+@parser.wrap()
+def train(cfg: TrainPipelineConfig):
 ```
 
-Hydra is set up to read `default.yaml` (via the `@hydra.main` decorator). If you take a look at the `@hydra.main`'s arguments you will see `config_path="../configs", config_name="default"`. At the top of `default.yaml`, is a `defaults` section which looks likes this:
+You can inspect the `TrainPipelineConfig` defined in [`lerobot/configs/train.py`](../lerobot/configs/train.py) (which is heavily commented and meant to be a reference to understand any option)
 
-```yaml
-defaults:
-  - _self_
-  - env: pusht
-  - policy: diffusion
+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:
+```python
+@dataclass
+class TrainPipelineConfig:
+    dataset: DatasetConfig
+    env: envs.EnvConfig | None = None
+    policy: PreTrainedConfig | None = None
+```
+in which `DatasetConfig` for example is defined as such:
+```python
+@dataclass
+class DatasetConfig:
+    repo_id: str
+    episodes: list[int] | None = None
+    video_backend: str = "pyav"
 ```
 
-This logic tells Hydra to incorporate configuration parameters from `env/pusht.yaml` and `policy/diffusion.yaml`. _Note: Be aware of the order as any configuration parameters with the same name will be overidden. Thus, `default.yaml` is overridden by `env/pusht.yaml`  which is overidden by `policy/diffusion.yaml`_.
+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`.
 
-Then, `default.yaml` also contains common configuration parameters such as `device: cuda` or `use_amp: false` (for enabling fp16 training). Some other parameters are set to `???` which indicates that they are expected to be set in additional yaml files. For instance, `training.offline_steps: ???` in `default.yaml` is set to `200000` in `diffusion.yaml`.
+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.
 
-Thanks to this `defaults` section in `default.yaml`, if you want to train Diffusion Policy with PushT, you really only need to run:
 
-```bash
-python lerobot/scripts/train.py
-```
-
-However, you can be more explicit and launch the exact same Diffusion Policy training on PushT with:
-
-```bash
-python lerobot/scripts/train.py policy=diffusion env=pusht
-```
-
-This way of overriding defaults via the CLI is especially useful when you want to change the policy and/or environment. For instance, you can train ACT on the default Aloha environment with:
-
-```bash
-python lerobot/scripts/train.py policy=act env=aloha
-```
-
-There are two things to note here:
-- Config overrides are passed as `param_name=param_value`.
-- Here we have overridden the defaults section. `policy=act` tells Hydra to use `policy/act.yaml`, and `env=aloha` tells Hydra to use `env/aloha.yaml`.
-
-_As an aside: we've set up all of our configurations so that they reproduce state-of-the-art results from papers in the literature._
-
-## Overriding configuration parameters in the CLI
-
-Now let's say that we want to train on a different task in the Aloha environment. If you look in `env/aloha.yaml` you will see something like:
-
-```yaml
-# lerobot/configs/env/aloha.yaml
-env:
-  task: AlohaInsertion-v0
-```
-
-And if you look in `policy/act.yaml` you will see something like:
-
-```yaml
-# lerobot/configs/policy/act.yaml
-dataset_repo_id: lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human
-```
-
-But our Aloha environment actually supports a cube transfer task as well. To train for this task, you could manually modify the two yaml configuration files respectively.
-
-First, we'd need to switch to using the cube transfer task for the ALOHA environment.
-
-```diff
-# lerobot/configs/env/aloha.yaml
-env:
--  task: AlohaInsertion-v0
-+  task: AlohaTransferCube-v0
-```
-
-Then, we'd also need to switch to using the cube transfer dataset.
-
-```diff
-# lerobot/configs/policy/act.yaml
--dataset_repo_id: lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human
-+dataset_repo_id: lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human
-```
-
-Then, you'd be able to run:
-
-```bash
-python lerobot/scripts/train.py policy=act env=aloha
-```
-
-and you'd be training and evaluating on the cube transfer task.
-
-An alternative approach to editing the yaml configuration files, would be to override the defaults via the command line:
+## Specifying values from the CLI
 
+Let's say that we want to train [Diffusion Policy](../lerobot/common/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
 python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
-    policy=act \
-    dataset_repo_id=lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human \
-    env=aloha \
-    env.task=AlohaTransferCube-v0
+    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/pusht \
+    --policy.type=diffusion \
+    --env.type=pusht
 ```
 
-There's something new here. Notice the `.` delimiter used to traverse the configuration hierarchy. _But be aware that the `defaults` section is an exception. As you saw above, we didn't need to write `defaults.policy=act` in the CLI. `policy=act` was enough._
-
-Putting all that knowledge together, here's the command that was used to train https://huggingface.co/lerobot/act_aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human.
+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/common/policies](../lerobot/common/policies)
+- Similarly, we select the environment with `--env.type=pusht`. The different environment configs are available in [`lerobot/common/envs/configs.py`](../lerobot/common/envs/configs.py)
 
+Let's see another example. Let's say you've been training [ACT](../lerobot/common/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
 python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
-    hydra.run.dir=outputs/train/act_aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human \
-    device=cuda
-    env=aloha \
-    env.task=AlohaTransferCube-v0 \
-    dataset_repo_id=lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human \
-    policy=act \
-    training.eval_freq=10000 \
-    training.log_freq=250 \
-    training.offline_steps=100000 \
-    training.save_model=true \
-    training.save_freq=25000 \
-    eval.n_episodes=50 \
-    eval.batch_size=50 \
-    wandb.enable=false \
+    --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`.
 
-There's one new thing here: `hydra.run.dir=outputs/train/act_aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human`, which specifies where to save the training output.
-
-## Using a configuration file not in `lerobot/configs`
-
-Above we discusses the our training script is set up such that Hydra looks for `default.yaml` in `lerobot/configs`. But, if you have a configuration file elsewhere in your filesystem you may use:
-
+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`](../lerobot/common/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
-python lerobot/scripts/train.py --config-dir PARENT/PATH --config-name FILE_NAME_WITHOUT_EXTENSION
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
+    --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
 ```
 
-Note: here we use regular syntax for providing CLI arguments to a Python script, not Hydra's `param_name=param_value` syntax.
+## Loading from a config file
 
-As a concrete example, this becomes particularly handy when you have a folder with training outputs, and would like to re-run the training. For example, say you previously ran the training script with one of the earlier commands and have `outputs/train/my_experiment/checkpoints/pretrained_model/config.yaml`. This `config.yaml` file will have the full set of configuration parameters within it. To run the training with the same configuration again, do:
+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
-python lerobot/scripts/train.py --config-dir outputs/train/my_experiment/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model --config-name config
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
+    --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
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
+    --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
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py --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
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
+    --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
 ```
 
-Note that you may still use the regular syntax for config parameter overrides (eg: by adding `training.offline_steps=200000`).
+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
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
+    --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
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
+    --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_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
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
+    --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 config it correctly and your config is not overrided by other files. The final configuration will also be saved with the checkpoint.

+## In short
 
-So far we've seen how to train Diffusion Policy for PushT and ACT for ALOHA. Now, what if we want to train ACT for PushT? Well, there are aspects of the ACT configuration that are specific to the ALOHA environments, and these happen to be incompatible with PushT. Therefore, trying to run the following will almost certainly raise an exception of sorts (eg: feature dimension mismatch):

-You should see from the logging that your training picks up from where it left off.
-
-Note that with `resume=true`, the configuration file from the last checkpoint in the training output directory is loaded. So it doesn't matter that we haven't provided all the other configuration parameters from our previous command (although there may be warnings to notify you that your command has a different configuration than than the checkpoint).

 ### a. Control your motors with DynamixelMotorsBus
 
 You can use the [`DynamixelMotorsBus`](../lerobot/common/robot_devices/motors/dynamixel.py) to communicate with the motors connected as a chain to the corresponding USB bus. This class leverages the Python [Dynamixel SDK](https://emanual.robotis.com/docs/en/software/dynamixel/dynamixel_sdk/sample_code/python_read_write_protocol_2_0/#python-read-write-protocol-20) to facilitate reading from and writing to the motors.
 
+**First Configuration of your motors**
+
+You will need to unplug each motor in turn and run a command the identify the motor. The motor will save its own identification, so you only need to do this once. Start by unplugging all of the motors.
+
+Do the Leader arm first, as all of its motors are of the same type. Plug in your first motor on your leader arm and run this script to set its ID to 1.
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/configure_motor.py \
+  --port /dev/tty.usbmodem58760432961 \
+  --brand dynamixel \
+  --model xl330-m288 \
+  --baudrate 1000000 \
+  --ID 1
+```
+
+Then unplug your first motor and plug the second motor and set its ID to 2.
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/configure_motor.py \
+  --port /dev/tty.usbmodem58760432961 \
+  --brand dynamixel \
+  --model xl330-m288 \
+  --baudrate 1000000 \
+  --ID 2
+```
+
+Redo the process for all your motors until ID 6.
+
+The process for the follower arm is almost the same, but the follower arm has two types of motors. For the first two motors, make sure you set the model to `xl430-w250`. _Important: configuring follower motors requires plugging and unplugging power. Make sure you use the 5V power for the XL330s and the 12V power for the XL430s!_
+
+After all of your motors are configured properly, you're ready to plug them all together in a daisy-chain as shown in the original video.
+
 **Instantiate the DynamixelMotorsBus**
 
 To begin, create two instances of the  [`DynamixelMotorsBus`](../lerobot/common/robot_devices/motors/dynamixel.py), one for each arm, using their corresponding USB ports (e.g. `DynamixelMotorsBus(port="/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0031751"`).

 **Connect and Configure your Motors**
 
 Before you can start using your motors, you'll need to configure them to ensure proper communication. When you first connect the motors, the [`DynamixelMotorsBus`](../lerobot/common/robot_devices/motors/dynamixel.py) automatically detects any mismatch between the current motor indices (factory set to `1`) and the specified indices (e.g., `1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6`). This triggers a configuration procedure that requires you to unplug the power cord and motors, then reconnect each motor sequentially, starting from the one closest to the bus.

+** There is a common issue with the Dynamixel XL430-W250 motors where the motors become undiscoverable after upgrading their firmware from Mac and Windows Dynamixel Wizard2 applications.  When this occurs, it is required to do a firmware recovery (Select `DYNAMIXEL Firmware Recovery` and follow the prompts).   There are two known workarounds to conduct this firmware reset:

-During calibration, we count the number of full 360-degree rotations your motors have made since they were first used. That's why we ask yo to move to this arbitrary "zero" position. We don't actually "set" the zero position, so you don't need to be accurate. After calculating these "offsets" to shift the motor values around 0, we need to assess the rotation direction of each motor, which might differ. That's why we ask you to rotate all motors to roughly 90 degrees, to mesure if the values changed negatively or positively.

-### a. Use `koch.yaml` and our `record` function
+### a. Use our `record` function
 
 Ideally, when controlling your robot with your neural network, you would want to record evaluation episodes and to be able to visualize them later on, or even train on them like in Reinforcement Learning. This pretty much corresponds to recording a new dataset but with a neural network providing the actions instead of teleoperation.
 
 To this end, you can use the `record` function from [`lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py`](../lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py) but with a policy checkpoint as input. For instance, run this command to record 10 evaluation episodes:
 ```bash
-python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py record \
-  --robot-path lerobot/configs/robot/koch.yaml \
-  --fps 30 \
-  --repo-id ${HF_USER}/eval_koch_test \
-  --tags tutorial eval \
-  --warmup-time-s 5 \
-  --episode-time-s 30 \
-  --reset-time-s 30 \
-  --num-episodes 10 \

+  --control.num_episodes=10 \
+  --control.push_to_hub=true \
+  --control.policy.path=outputs/train/act_koch_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
 ```
 
 As you can see, it's almost the same command as previously used to record your training dataset. Two things changed:
-1. There is an additional `-p` argument which indicates the path to your policy checkpoint with  (e.g. `-p outputs/train/eval_koch_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model`). You can also use the model repository if you uploaded a model checkpoint to the hub (e.g. `-p ${HF_USER}/act_koch_test`).
-2. The name of dataset begins by `eval` to reflect that you are running inference (e.g. `--repo-id ${HF_USER}/eval_koch_test`).

 ### b. Visualize evaluation afterwards

 ```bash

+  --output_dir=outputs/train/act_aloha_test \
+  --job_name=act_aloha_test \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --wandb.enable=true
 ```
 
 Let's explain it:
-1. We provided the dataset as argument with `dataset_repo_id=${HF_USER}/aloha_test`.
-2. We provided the policy with `policy=act_aloha_real`. This loads configurations from [`lerobot/configs/policy/act_aloha_real.yaml`](../lerobot/configs/policy/act_aloha_real.yaml). Importantly, this policy uses 4 cameras as input `cam_right_wrist`, `cam_left_wrist`, `cam_high`, and `cam_low`.
-3. We provided an environment as argument with `env=aloha_real`. This loads configurations from [`lerobot/configs/env/aloha_real.yaml`](../lerobot/configs/env/aloha_real.yaml). Note: this yaml defines 18 dimensions for the `state_dim` and `action_dim`, corresponding to 18 motors, not 14 motors as used in previous Aloha work. This is because, we include the `shoulder_shadow` and `elbow_shadow` motors for simplicity.
-4. We provided `device=cuda` since we are training on a Nvidia GPU.
+1. We provided the dataset as argument with `--dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/aloha_test`.
+2. We provided the policy with `policy.type=act`. This loads configurations from [`configuration_act.py`](../lerobot/common/policies/act/configuration_act.py). Importantly, this policy will automatically adapt to the number of motor states, motor actions and cameras of your robot (e.g. `laptop` and `phone`) which have been saved in your dataset.
+4. We provided `policy.device=cuda` since we are training on a Nvidia GPU, but you could use `policy.device=mps` to train on Apple silicon.
 5. We provided `wandb.enable=true` to use [Weights and Biases](https://docs.wandb.ai/quickstart) for visualizing training plots. This is optional but if you use it, make sure you are logged in by running `wandb login`.
 
+For more information on the `train` script see the previous tutorial: [`examples/4_train_policy_with_script.md`](../examples/4_train_policy_with_script.md)
+
 Training should take several hours. You will find checkpoints in `outputs/train/act_aloha_test/checkpoints`.
 
 ## Evaluate your policy
 
 You can use the `record` function from [`lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py`](../lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py) but with a policy checkpoint as input. For instance, run this command to record 10 evaluation episodes:
 ```bash
-python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py record \
-  --robot-path lerobot/configs/robot/aloha.yaml \
-  --robot-overrides max_relative_target=null \
-  --fps 30 \
-  --repo-id ${HF_USER}/eval_act_aloha_test \
-  --tags aloha tutorial eval \
-  --warmup-time-s 5 \
-  --episode-time-s 40 \
-  --reset-time-s 10 \
-  --num-episodes 10 \
-  --num-image-writer-processes 1 \
-  -p outputs/train/act_aloha_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=aloha \
+  --control.type=record \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.single_task="Grasp a lego block and put it in the bin." \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/eval_act_aloha_test \
+  --control.tags='["tutorial"]' \
+  --control.warmup_time_s=5 \
+  --control.episode_time_s=30 \
+  --control.reset_time_s=30 \
+  --control.num_episodes=10 \
+  --control.push_to_hub=true \
+  --control.policy.path=outputs/train/act_aloha_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model \
+  --control.num_image_writer_processes=1
 ```
 
 As you can see, it's almost the same command as previously used to record your training dataset. Two things changed:
-1. There is an additional `-p` argument which indicates the path to your policy checkpoint with  (e.g. `-p outputs/train/eval_aloha_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model`). You can also use the model repository if you uploaded a model checkpoint to the hub (e.g. `-p ${HF_USER}/act_aloha_test`).
-2. The name of dataset begins by `eval` to reflect that you are running inference (e.g. `--repo-id ${HF_USER}/eval_act_aloha_test`).
-3. We use `--num-image-writer-processes 1` instead of the default value (`0`). On our computer, using a dedicated process to write images from the 4 cameras on disk allows to reach constent 30 fps during inference. Feel free to explore different values for `--num-image-writer-processes`.

-In this tutorial we will learn how to adapt a policy configuration to be compatible with a new environment and dataset. As a concrete example, we will adapt the default configuration for ACT to be compatible with the PushT environment and dataset.
-
-If you haven't already read our tutorial on the [training script and configuration tooling](../4_train_policy_with_script.md) please do so prior to tackling this tutorial.
-
-Let's get started!
-
-Suppose we want to train ACT for PushT. Well, there are aspects of the ACT configuration that are specific to the ALOHA environments, and these happen to be incompatible with PushT. Therefore, trying to run the following will almost certainly raise an exception of sorts (eg: feature dimension mismatch):
-
-```bash
-python lerobot/scripts/train.py policy=act env=pusht dataset_repo_id=lerobot/pusht
-```
-
-We need to adapt the parameters of the ACT policy configuration to the PushT environment. The most important ones are the image keys.
-
-ALOHA's datasets and environments typically use a variable number of cameras. In `lerobot/configs/policy/act.yaml` you may notice two relevant sections. Here we show you the minimal diff needed to adjust to PushT:
-
-```diff
-override_dataset_stats:
--  observation.images.top:
-+  observation.image:
-    # stats from imagenet, since we use a pretrained vision model
-    mean: [[[0.485]], [[0.456]], [[0.406]]]  # (c,1,1)
-    std: [[[0.229]], [[0.224]], [[0.225]]]  # (c,1,1)
-
-policy:
-  input_shapes:
--    observation.images.top: [3, 480, 640]
-+    observation.image: [3, 96, 96]
-    observation.state: ["${env.state_dim}"]
-  output_shapes:
-    action: ["${env.action_dim}"]
-
-  input_normalization_modes:
--    observation.images.top: mean_std
-+    observation.image: mean_std
-     observation.state: min_max
-  output_normalization_modes:
-    action: min_max
-```
-
-Here we've accounted for the following:
-- PushT uses "observation.image" for its image key.
-- PushT provides smaller images.
-
-_Side note: technically we could override these via the CLI, but with many changes it gets a bit messy, and we also have a bit of a challenge in that we're using `.` in our observation keys which is treated by Hydra as a hierarchical separator_.
-
-For your convenience, we provide [`act_pusht.yaml`](./act_pusht.yaml) in this directory. It contains the diff above, plus some other (optional) ones that are explained within. Please copy it into `lerobot/configs/policy` with:
-
-```bash
-cp examples/advanced/1_train_act_pusht/act_pusht.yaml lerobot/configs/policy/act_pusht.yaml
-```
-
-(remember from a [previous tutorial](../4_train_policy_with_script.md) that Hydra will look in the `lerobot/configs` directory). Now try running the following.
-
-<!-- Note to contributor: are you changing this command? Note that it's tested in `Makefile`, so change it there too! -->
-```bash
-python lerobot/scripts/train.py policy=act_pusht env=pusht
-```
-
-Notice that this is much the same as the command that failed at the start of the tutorial, only:
-- Now we are using `policy=act_pusht` to point to our new configuration file.
-- We can drop `dataset_repo_id=lerobot/pusht` as the change is incorporated in our new configuration file.
-
-Hurrah! You're now training ACT for the PushT environment.
-
----
-
-The bottom line of this tutorial is that when training policies for different environments and datasets you will need to understand what parts of the policy configuration are specific to those and make changes accordingly.
-
-Happy coding! 🤗

-## Using / Updating `CODEBASE_VERSION` (for maintainers)
-
-Since our dataset pushed to the hub are decoupled with the evolution of this repo, we ensure compatibility of
-the datasets with our code, we use a `CODEBASE_VERSION` (defined in
-lerobot/common/datasets/lerobot_dataset.py) variable.
-
-For instance, [`lerobot/pusht`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/pusht) has many versions to maintain backward compatibility between LeRobot codebase versions:
-- [v1.0](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/pusht/tree/v1.0)
-- [v1.1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/pusht/tree/v1.1)
-- [v1.2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/pusht/tree/v1.2)
-- [v1.3](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/pusht/tree/v1.3)
-- [v1.4](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/pusht/tree/v1.4)
-- [v1.5](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/pusht/tree/v1.5)
-- [v1.6](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/pusht/tree/v1.6) <-- last version
-- [main](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/pusht/tree/main) <-- points to the last version
-
-Starting with v1.6, every dataset pushed to the hub or saved locally also have this version number in their
-`info.json` metadata.
-
-### Uploading a new dataset
-If you are pushing a new dataset, you don't need to worry about any of the instructions below, nor to be
-compatible with previous codebase versions. The `push_dataset_to_hub.py` script will automatically tag your
-dataset with the current `CODEBASE_VERSION`.
-
-### Updating an existing dataset
-If you want to update an existing dataset, you need to change the `CODEBASE_VERSION` from `lerobot_dataset.py`
-before running `push_dataset_to_hub.py`. This is especially useful if you introduce a breaking change
-intentionally or not (i.e. something not backward compatible such as modifying the reward functions used,
-deleting some frames at the end of an episode, etc.). That way, people running a previous version of the
-codebase won't be affected by your change and backward compatibility is maintained.
-
-However, you will need to update the version of ALL the other datasets so that they have the new
-`CODEBASE_VERSION` as a branch in their hugging face dataset repository. Don't worry, there is an easy way
-that doesn't require to run `push_dataset_to_hub.py`. You can just "branch-out" from the `main` branch on HF
-dataset repo by running this script which corresponds to a `git checkout -b` (so no copy or upload needed):
-
-```python
-from huggingface_hub import HfApi
-
-from lerobot import available_datasets
-from lerobot.common.datasets.lerobot_dataset import CODEBASE_VERSION
-
-api = HfApi()
-
-for repo_id in available_datasets:
-    dataset_info = api.list_repo_refs(repo_id, repo_type="dataset")
-    branches = [b.name for b in dataset_info.branches]
-    if CODEBASE_VERSION in branches:
-        print(f"{repo_id} already @{CODEBASE_VERSION}, skipping.")
-        continue
-    else:
-        # Now create a branch named after the new version by branching out from "main"
-        # which is expected to be the preceding version
-        api.create_branch(repo_id, repo_type="dataset", branch=CODEBASE_VERSION, revision="main")
-        print(f"{repo_id} successfully updated @{CODEBASE_VERSION}")
-```

-        Return JPEG XL image from numpy array.
-        Float must be in nominal range 0..1.
-
-        Currently L, LA, RGB, RGBA images are supported in contig mode.
-        Extra channels are only supported for grayscale images in planar mode.
-
-        Parameters
-        ----------
-        level : Default to None, i.e. not overwriting lossess and decodingspeed options.
-            When < 0: Use lossless compression
-            When in [0,1,2,3,4]: Sets the decoding speed tier for the provided options.
-                Minimum is 0 (slowest to decode, best quality/density), and maximum
-                is 4 (fastest to decode, at the cost of some quality/density).
-        effort : Default to 3.
-            Sets encoder effort/speed level without affecting decoding speed.
-            Valid values are, from faster to slower speed: 1:lightning 2:thunder
-                3:falcon 4:cheetah 5:hare 6:wombat 7:squirrel 8:kitten 9:tortoise.
-            Speed: lightning, thunder, falcon, cheetah, hare, wombat, squirrel, kitten, tortoise
-            control the encoder effort in ascending order.
-            This also affects memory usage: using lower effort will typically reduce memory
-            consumption during encoding.
-            lightning and thunder are fast modes useful for lossless mode (modular).
-            falcon disables all of the following tools.
-            cheetah enables coefficient reordering, context clustering, and heuristics for selecting DCT sizes and quantization steps.
-            hare enables Gaborish filtering, chroma from luma, and an initial estimate of quantization steps.
-            wombat enables error diffusion quantization and full DCT size selection heuristics.
-            squirrel (default) enables dots, patches, and spline detection, and full context clustering.
-            kitten optimizes the adaptive quantization for a psychovisual metric.
-            tortoise enables a more thorough adaptive quantization search.
-        distance : Default to 1.0
-            Sets the distance level for lossy compression: target max butteraugli distance,
-            lower = higher quality. Range: 0 .. 15. 0.0 = mathematically lossless
-            (however, use JxlEncoderSetFrameLossless instead to use true lossless,
-            as setting distance to 0 alone is not the only requirement).
-            1.0 = visually lossless. Recommended range: 0.5 .. 3.0.
-        lossess : Default to False.
-            Use lossess encoding.
-        decodingspeed : Default to 0.
-            Duplicate to level. [0,4]
-        photometric : Return JxlColorSpace value.
-            Default logic is quite complicated but works most of the time.
-            Accepted value:
-                int: [-1,3]
-                str: ['RGB',
-                    'WHITEISZERO', 'MINISWHITE',
-                    'BLACKISZERO', 'MINISBLACK', 'GRAY',
-                    'XYB', 'KNOWN']
-        planar : Enable multi-channel mode.
-            Default to false.
-        usecontainer :
-            Forces the encoder to use the box-based container format (BMFF)
-            even when not necessary.
-            When using JxlEncoderUseBoxes, JxlEncoderStoreJPEGMetadata or
-            JxlEncoderSetCodestreamLevel with level 10, the encoder will
-            automatically also use the container format, it is not necessary
-            to use JxlEncoderUseContainer for those use cases.
-            By default this setting is disabled.
-        index : Selectively decode frames for animation.
-            Default to 0, decode all frames.
-            When set to > 0, decode that frame index only.
-        keeporientation :
-            Enables or disables preserving of as-in-bitstream pixeldata orientation.
-            Some images are encoded with an Orientation tag indicating that the
-            decoder must perform a rotation and/or mirroring to the encoded image data.
-
-            If skip_reorientation is JXL_FALSE (the default): the decoder will apply
-            the transformation from the orientation setting, hence rendering the image
-            according to its specified intent. When producing a JxlBasicInfo, the decoder
-            will always set the orientation field to JXL_ORIENT_IDENTITY (matching the
-            returned pixel data) and also align xsize and ysize so that they correspond
-            to the width and the height of the returned pixel data.
-
-            If skip_reorientation is JXL_TRUE: the decoder will skip applying the
-            transformation from the orientation setting, returning the image in
-            the as-in-bitstream pixeldata orientation. This may be faster to decode
-            since the decoder doesnt have to apply the transformation, but can
-            cause wrong display of the image if the orientation tag is not correctly
-            taken into account by the user.
-
-            By default, this option is disabled, and the returned pixel data is
-            re-oriented according to the images Orientation setting.
-        threads : Default to 1.
-            If <= 0, use all cores.
-            If > 32, clipped to 32.
