+
+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual
+identity and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall
+  community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of
+  any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address,
+  without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official email address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
+[feedback@huggingface.co](mailto:feedback@huggingface.co).
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series of
+actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent
+ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the
+community.
+
+## Attribution
+

+# How to contribute to 🤗 LeRobot?
+
+Everyone is welcome to contribute, and we value everybody's contribution. Code
+is thus not the only way to help the community. Answering questions, helping
+others, reaching out and improving the documentations are immensely valuable to
+the community.
+
+It also helps us if you spread the word: reference the library from blog posts
+on the awesome projects it made possible, shout out on Twitter when it has
+helped you, or simply ⭐️ the repo to say "thank you".
+
+Whichever way you choose to contribute, please be mindful to respect our
+[code of conduct](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
+
+## You can contribute in so many ways!
+
+Some of the ways you can contribute to 🤗 LeRobot:
+* Fixing outstanding issues with the existing code.
+* Implementing new models, datasets or simulation environments.
+* Contributing to the examples or to the documentation.
+* Submitting issues related to bugs or desired new features.
+
+Following the guides below, feel free to open issues and PRs and to coordinate your efforts with the community on our [Discord Channel](https://discord.gg/VjFz58wn3R). For specific inquiries, reach out to [Remi Cadene](mailto:remi.cadene@huggingface.co).
+
+If you are not sure how to contribute or want to know the next features we working on, look on this project page: [LeRobot TODO](https://github.com/orgs/huggingface/projects/46)
+
+## Submitting a new issue or feature request
+
+Do your best to follow these guidelines when submitting an issue or a feature
+request. It will make it easier for us to come back to you quickly and with good
+feedback.
+
+### Did you find a bug?
+
+The 🤗 LeRobot library is robust and reliable thanks to the users who notify us of
+the problems they encounter. So thank you for reporting an issue.
+
+First, we would really appreciate it if you could **make sure the bug was not
+already reported** (use the search bar on Github under Issues).
+
+Did not find it? :( So we can act quickly on it, please follow these steps:
+
+* Include your **OS type and version**, the versions of **Python** and **PyTorch**.
+* A short, self-contained, code snippet that allows us to reproduce the bug in
+  less than 30s.
+* The full traceback if an exception is raised.
+* Attach any other additional information, like screenshots, you think may help.
+
+### Do you want a new feature?
+
+A good feature request addresses the following points:
+
+1. Motivation first:
+* Is it related to a problem/frustration with the library? If so, please explain
+  why. Providing a code snippet that demonstrates the problem is best.
+* Is it related to something you would need for a project? We'd love to hear
+  about it!
+* Is it something you worked on and think could benefit the community?
+  Awesome! Tell us what problem it solved for you.
+2. Write a *paragraph* describing the feature.
+3. Provide a **code snippet** that demonstrates its future use.
+4. In case this is related to a paper, please attach a link.

+
+## Adding new policies, datasets or environments
+
+Look at our implementations for [datasets](./lerobot/common/datasets/), [policies](./lerobot/common/policies/),
+environments ([aloha](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-aloha),
+[xarm](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-xarm),
+[pusht](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-pusht))
+and follow the same api design.
+
+When implementing a new dataset loadable with LeRobotDataset follow these steps:
+- Update `available_datasets_per_env` in `lerobot/__init__.py`
+
+When implementing a new environment (e.g. `gym_aloha`), follow these steps:
+- Update `available_tasks_per_env` and `available_datasets_per_env` in `lerobot/__init__.py`
+
+When implementing a new policy class (e.g. `DiffusionPolicy`) follow these steps:
+- Update `available_policies` and `available_policies_per_env`, in `lerobot/__init__.py`
+- Set the required `name` class attribute.
+- Update variables in `tests/test_available.py` by importing your new Policy class
+
+## Submitting a pull request (PR)
+
+Before writing code, we strongly advise you to search through the existing PRs or
+issues to make sure that nobody is already working on the same thing. If you are
+unsure, it is always a good idea to open an issue to get some feedback.
+
+You will need basic `git` proficiency to be able to contribute to
+🤗 LeRobot. `git` is not the easiest tool to use but it has the greatest
+manual. Type `git --help` in a shell and enjoy. If you prefer books, [Pro
+Git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2) is a very good reference.
+
+Follow these steps to start contributing:
+
+1. Fork the [repository](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot) by
+   clicking on the 'Fork' button on the repository's page. This creates a copy of the code
+   under your GitHub user account.
+
+2. Clone your fork to your local disk, and add the base repository as a remote. The following command
+   assumes you have your public SSH key uploaded to GitHub. See the following guide for more
+   [information](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/cloning-a-repository).
+
+   ```bash
+   git clone git@github.com:<your Github handle>/lerobot.git
+   cd lerobot
+   git remote add upstream https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git
+   ```
+
+3. Create a new branch to hold your development changes, and do this for every new PR you work on.
+
+   Start by synchronizing your `main` branch with the `upstream/main` branch (more details in the [GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/syncing-a-fork)):
+
+   ```bash
+   git checkout main
+   git fetch upstream
+   git rebase upstream/main
+   ```
+
+   Once your `main` branch is synchronized, create a new branch from it:
+
+   ```bash
+   git checkout -b a-descriptive-name-for-my-changes
+   ```
+
+   🚨 **Do not** work on the `main` branch.
+
+4. for development, we advise to use a tool like `poetry` or `uv` instead of just `pip` to easily track our dependencies.
+   Follow the instructions to [install poetry](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation) (use a version >=2.1.0) or to [install uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/#installation-methods) if you don't have one of them already.
+
+   Set up a development environment with conda or miniconda:
+   ```bash
+   conda create -y -n lerobot-dev python=3.10 && conda activate lerobot-dev
+   ```
+
+   If you're using `uv`, it can manage python versions so you can instead do:
+   ```bash
+   uv venv --python 3.10 && source .venv/bin/activate
+   ```
+
+   To develop on 🤗 LeRobot, you will at least need to install the `dev` and `test` extras dependencies along with the core library:
+
+   using `poetry`
+   ```bash
+   poetry sync --extras "dev test"
+   ```
+
+   using `uv`
+   ```bash
+   uv sync --extra dev --extra test
+   ```
+
+   You can also install the project with all its dependencies (including environments):
+
+   using `poetry`
+   ```bash
+   poetry sync --all-extras
+   ```
+
+   using `uv`
+   ```bash
+   uv sync --all-extras
+   ```
+
+   > **Note:** If you don't install simulation environments with `--all-extras`, the tests that require them will be skipped when running the pytest suite locally. However, they *will* be tested in the CI. In general, we advise you to install everything and test locally before pushing.
+
+   Whichever command you chose to install the project (e.g. `poetry sync --all-extras`), you should run it again when pulling code with an updated version of `pyproject.toml` and `poetry.lock` in order to synchronize your virtual environment with the new dependencies.
+
+   The equivalent of `pip install some-package`, would just be:
+
+   using `poetry`
+   ```bash
+   poetry add some-package
+   ```
+
+   using `uv`
+   ```bash
+   uv add some-package
+   ```
+
+   When making changes to the poetry sections of the `pyproject.toml`, you should run the following command to lock dependencies.
+   using `poetry`
+   ```bash
+   poetry lock
+   ```
+
+   using `uv`
+   ```bash
+   uv lock
+   ```
+
+
+5. Develop the features on your branch.
+
+   As you work on the features, you should make sure that the test suite
+   passes. You should run the tests impacted by your changes like this (see
+   below an explanation regarding the environment variable):
+
+   ```bash
+   pytest tests/<TEST_TO_RUN>.py
+   ```
+
+6. Follow our style.
+
+   `lerobot` relies on `ruff` to format its source code
+   consistently. Set up [`pre-commit`](https://pre-commit.com/) to run these checks
+   automatically as Git commit hooks.
+
+   Install `pre-commit` hooks:
+   ```bash
+   pre-commit install
+   ```
+
+   You can run these hooks whenever you need on staged files with:
+   ```bash
+   pre-commit
+   ```
+
+   Once you're happy with your changes, add changed files using `git add` and
+   make a commit with `git commit` to record your changes locally:
+
+   ```bash
+   git add modified_file.py
+   git commit
+   ```
+
+   Note, if you already committed some changes that have a wrong formatting, you can use:
+   ```bash
+   pre-commit run --all-files
+   ```
+
+   Please write [good commit messages](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/).
+
+   It is a good idea to sync your copy of the code with the original
+   repository regularly. This way you can quickly account for changes:
+
+   ```bash
+   git fetch upstream
+   git rebase upstream/main
+   ```
+
+   Push the changes to your account using:
+
+   ```bash
+   git push -u origin a-descriptive-name-for-my-changes
+   ```
+
+6. Once you are satisfied (**and the checklist below is happy too**), go to the
+   webpage of your fork on GitHub. Click on 'Pull request' to send your changes
+   to the project maintainers for review.
+
+7. It's ok if maintainers ask you for changes. It happens to core contributors
+   too! So everyone can see the changes in the Pull request, work in your local
+   branch and push the changes to your fork. They will automatically appear in
+   the pull request.
+
+
+### Checklist
+
+1. The title of your pull request should be a summary of its contribution;
+2. If your pull request addresses an issue, please mention the issue number in
+   the pull request description to make sure they are linked (and people
+   consulting the issue know you are working on it);
+3. To indicate a work in progress please prefix the title with `[WIP]`, or preferably mark
+   the PR as a draft PR. These are useful to avoid duplicated work, and to differentiate
+   it from PRs ready to be merged;
+4. Make sure existing tests pass;
+<!-- 5. Add high-coverage tests. No quality testing = no merge.
+
+See an example of a good PR here: https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/pull/ -->
+
+### Tests
+
+An extensive test suite is included to test the library behavior and several examples. Library tests can be found in the [tests folder](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/tree/main/tests).
+
+Install [git lfs](https://git-lfs.com/) to retrieve test artifacts (if you don't have it already).
+
+On Mac:
+```bash
+brew install git-lfs
+git lfs install
+```
+
+On Ubuntu:
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install git-lfs
+git lfs install
+```
+
+Pull artifacts if they're not in [tests/artifacts](tests/artifacts)
+```bash
+git lfs pull
+```
+
+We use `pytest` in order to run the tests. From the root of the
+repository, here's how to run tests with `pytest` for the library:
+
+```bash
+python -m pytest -sv ./tests
+```
+
+
+You can specify a smaller set of tests in order to test only the feature
+you're working on.

 ## Installation
 
-Create a virtual environment with Python 3.10, e.g. using `conda`:
+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/free/miniconda/index.html):
+```bash
 conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.10
 conda activate lerobot
 ```
 
-[Install `poetry`](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation) (if you don't have it already)
-```
-curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python -
+When using `miniconda`, install `ffmpeg` in your environment:
+```bash
+conda install ffmpeg -c conda-forge
 ```
 
-Install dependencies
-```
-poetry install
+> **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
+pip install -e .
 ```
 
-If you encounter a disk space error, try to change your tmp dir to a location where you have enough disk space, e.g.
-```
-mkdir ~/tmp
-export TMPDIR='~/tmp'

-### Visualize offline buffer
+### Visualize datasets
 
-```
+Check out [example 1](./examples/1_load_lerobot_dataset.py) that illustrates how to use our dataset class which automatically downloads data from the Hugging Face hub.
+
+You can also locally visualize episodes from a dataset on the hub by executing our script from the command line:
+```bash
 python lerobot/scripts/visualize_dataset.py \
-hydra.run.dir=tmp/$(date +"%Y_%m_%d") \
-env=pusht
+    --repo-id lerobot/pusht \
+    --episode-index 0
 ```
 
-### Visualize online buffer / Eval
+or from a dataset in a local folder with the `root` option and the `--local-files-only` (in the following case the dataset will be searched for in `./my_local_data_dir/lerobot/pusht`)
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/visualize_dataset.py \
+    --repo-id lerobot/pusht \
+    --root ./my_local_data_dir \
+    --local-files-only 1 \
+    --episode-index 0
+```
+
+
+It will open `rerun.io` and display the camera streams, robot states and actions, like this:
+
+https://github-production-user-asset-6210df.s3.amazonaws.com/4681518/328035972-fd46b787-b532-47e2-bb6f-fd536a55a7ed.mov?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAVCODYLSA53PQK4ZA%2F20240505%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20240505T172924Z&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Signature=d680b26c532eeaf80740f08af3320d22ad0b8a4e4da1bcc4f33142c15b509eda&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&actor_id=24889239&key_id=0&repo_id=748713144
+
+
+Our script can also visualize datasets stored on a distant server. See `python lerobot/scripts/visualize_dataset.py --help` for more instructions.
+
+### The `LeRobotDataset` format
+
+A dataset in `LeRobotDataset` format is very simple to use. It can be loaded from a repository on the Hugging Face hub or a local folder simply with e.g. `dataset = LeRobotDataset("lerobot/aloha_static_coffee")` and can be indexed into like any Hugging Face and PyTorch dataset. For instance `dataset[0]` will retrieve a single temporal frame from the dataset containing observation(s) and an action as PyTorch tensors ready to be fed to a model.
+
+A specificity of `LeRobotDataset` is that, rather than retrieving a single frame by its index, we can retrieve several frames based on their temporal relationship with the indexed frame, by setting `delta_timestamps` to a list of relative times with respect to the indexed frame. For example, with `delta_timestamps = {"observation.image": [-1, -0.5, -0.2, 0]}`  one can retrieve, for a given index, 4 frames: 3 "previous" frames 1 second, 0.5 seconds, and 0.2 seconds before the indexed frame, and the indexed frame itself (corresponding to the 0 entry). See example [1_load_lerobot_dataset.py](examples/1_load_lerobot_dataset.py) for more details on `delta_timestamps`.
+
+Under the hood, the `LeRobotDataset` format makes use of several ways to serialize data which can be useful to understand if you plan to work more closely with this format. We tried to make a flexible yet simple dataset format that would cover most type of features and specificities present in reinforcement learning and robotics, in simulation and in real-world, with a focus on cameras and robot states but easily extended to other types of sensory inputs as long as they can be represented by a tensor.
+
+Here are the important details and internal structure organization of a typical `LeRobotDataset` instantiated with `dataset = LeRobotDataset("lerobot/aloha_static_coffee")`. The exact features will change from dataset to dataset but not the main aspects:
 
 ```
+dataset attributes:
+  ├ hf_dataset: a Hugging Face dataset (backed by Arrow/parquet). Typical features example:
+  │  ├ observation.images.cam_high (VideoFrame):
+  │  │   VideoFrame = {'path': path to a mp4 video, 'timestamp' (float32): timestamp in the video}
+  │  ├ observation.state (list of float32): position of an arm joints (for instance)
+  │  ... (more observations)
+  │  ├ action (list of float32): goal position of an arm joints (for instance)
+  │  ├ episode_index (int64): index of the episode for this sample
+  │  ├ frame_index (int64): index of the frame for this sample in the episode ; starts at 0 for each episode
+  │  ├ timestamp (float32): timestamp in the episode
+  │  ├ next.done (bool): indicates the end of an episode ; True for the last frame in each episode
+  │  └ index (int64): general index in the whole dataset
+  ├ episode_data_index: contains 2 tensors with the start and end indices of each episode
+  │  ├ from (1D int64 tensor): first frame index for each episode — shape (num episodes,) starts with 0
+  │  └ to: (1D int64 tensor): last frame index for each episode — shape (num episodes,)
+  ├ stats: a dictionary of statistics (max, mean, min, std) for each feature in the dataset, for instance
+  │  ├ observation.images.cam_high: {'max': tensor with same number of dimensions (e.g. `(c, 1, 1)` for images, `(c,)` for states), etc.}
+  │  ...
+  ├ info: a dictionary of metadata on the dataset
+  │  ├ codebase_version (str): this is to keep track of the codebase version the dataset was created with
+  │  ├ fps (float): frame per second the dataset is recorded/synchronized to
+  │  ├ video (bool): indicates if frames are encoded in mp4 video files to save space or stored as png files
+  │  └ encoding (dict): if video, this documents the main options that were used with ffmpeg to encode the videos
+  ├ videos_dir (Path): where the mp4 videos or png images are stored/accessed
+  └ camera_keys (list of string): the keys to access camera features in the item returned by the dataset (e.g. `["observation.images.cam_high", ...]`)
+```
+
+A `LeRobotDataset` is serialised using several widespread file formats for each of its parts, namely:
+- hf_dataset stored using Hugging Face datasets library serialization to parquet
+- videos are stored in mp4 format to save space
+- metadata are stored in plain json/jsonl files
+
+Dataset can be uploaded/downloaded from the HuggingFace hub seamlessly. To work on a local dataset, you can specify its location with the `root` argument if it's not in the default `~/.cache/huggingface/lerobot` location.
+
+### Evaluate a pretrained policy
+
+Check out [example 2](./examples/2_evaluate_pretrained_policy.py) that illustrates how to download a pretrained policy from Hugging Face hub, and run an evaluation on its corresponding environment.
+
+We also provide a more capable script to parallelize the evaluation over multiple environments during the same rollout. Here is an example with a pretrained model hosted on [lerobot/diffusion_pusht](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/diffusion_pusht):
+```bash
 python lerobot/scripts/eval.py \
-hydra.run.dir=tmp/$(date +"%Y_%m_%d") \
-env=pusht
+    --policy.path=lerobot/diffusion_pusht \
+    --env.type=pusht \
+    --eval.batch_size=10 \
+    --eval.n_episodes=10 \
+    --policy.use_amp=false \
+    --policy.device=cuda
 ```
 
+Note: After training your own policy, you can re-evaluate the checkpoints with:
 
-## TODO
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/eval.py --policy.path={OUTPUT_DIR}/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
+```
 
-If you are not sure how to contribute or want to know the next features we working on, look on this project page: [LeRobot TODO](https://github.com/users/Cadene/projects/1)
+See `python lerobot/scripts/eval.py --help` for more instructions.
 
-Ask [Remi Cadene](re.cadene@gmail.com) for access if needed.
+### Train your own policy
+
+Check out [example 3](./examples/3_train_policy.py) that illustrates how to train a model using our core library in python, and [example 4](./examples/4_train_policy_with_script.md) that shows how to use our training script from command line.
+
+To use wandb for logging training and evaluation curves, make sure you've run `wandb login` as a one-time setup step. Then, when running the training command above, enable WandB in the configuration by adding `--wandb.enable=true`.
+
+A link to the wandb logs for the run will also show up in yellow in your terminal. Here is an example of what they look like in your browser. Please also check [here](./examples/4_train_policy_with_script.md#typical-logs-and-metrics) for the explanation of some commonly used metrics in logs.
+
+![](media/wandb.png)
+
+Note: For efficiency, during training every checkpoint is evaluated on a low number of episodes. You may use `--eval.n_episodes=500` to evaluate on more episodes than the default. Or, after training, you may want to re-evaluate your best checkpoints on more episodes or change the evaluation settings. See `python lerobot/scripts/eval.py --help` for more instructions.
+
+#### Reproduce state-of-the-art (SOTA)
+
+We provide some pretrained policies on our [hub page](https://huggingface.co/lerobot) that can achieve state-of-the-art performances.
+You can reproduce their training by loading the config from their run. Simply running:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py --config_path=lerobot/diffusion_pusht
+```
+reproduces SOTA results for Diffusion Policy on the PushT task.

+
+<!-- ### Add a new dataset
+
+To add a dataset to the hub, you need to login using a write-access token, which can be generated from the [Hugging Face settings](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens):
+```bash
+huggingface-cli login --token ${HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN} --add-to-git-credential
+```
+
+Then point to your raw dataset folder (e.g. `data/aloha_static_pingpong_test_raw`), and push your dataset to the hub with:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/push_dataset_to_hub.py \
+--raw-dir data/aloha_static_pingpong_test_raw \
+--out-dir data \
+--repo-id lerobot/aloha_static_pingpong_test \
+--raw-format aloha_hdf5
+```
+
+See `python lerobot/scripts/push_dataset_to_hub.py --help` for more instructions.
+
+If your dataset format is not supported, implement your own in `lerobot/common/datasets/push_dataset_to_hub/${raw_format}_format.py` by copying examples like [pusht_zarr](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/lerobot/common/datasets/push_dataset_to_hub/pusht_zarr_format.py), [umi_zarr](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/lerobot/common/datasets/push_dataset_to_hub/umi_zarr_format.py), [aloha_hdf5](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/lerobot/common/datasets/push_dataset_to_hub/aloha_hdf5_format.py), or [xarm_pkl](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/lerobot/common/datasets/push_dataset_to_hub/xarm_pkl_format.py). -->
 
 
-## Profile
+### Add a pretrained policy
 
-**Example**
+Once you have trained a policy you may upload it to the Hugging Face hub using a hub id that looks like `${hf_user}/${repo_name}` (e.g. [lerobot/diffusion_pusht](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/diffusion_pusht)).
+
+You first need to find the checkpoint folder located inside your experiment directory (e.g. `outputs/train/2024-05-05/20-21-12_aloha_act_default/checkpoints/002500`). Within that there is a `pretrained_model` directory which should contain:
+- `config.json`: A serialized version of the policy configuration (following the policy's dataclass config).
+- `model.safetensors`: A set of `torch.nn.Module` parameters, saved in [Hugging Face Safetensors](https://huggingface.co/docs/safetensors/index) format.
+- `train_config.json`: A consolidated configuration containing all parameters used for training. The policy configuration should match `config.json` exactly. This is useful for anyone who wants to evaluate your policy or for reproducibility.
+
+To upload these to the hub, run the following:
+```bash
+huggingface-cli upload ${hf_user}/${repo_name} path/to/pretrained_model
+```
+
+See [eval.py](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/lerobot/scripts/eval.py) for an example of how other people may use your policy.

+# Video benchmark
+
+
+## Questions
+What is the optimal trade-off between:
+- maximizing loading time with random access,
+- minimizing memory space on disk,
+- maximizing success rate of policies,
+- compatibility across devices/platforms for decoding videos (e.g. video players, web browsers).
+
+How to encode videos?
+- Which video codec (`-vcodec`) to use? h264, h265, AV1?
+- What pixel format to use (`-pix_fmt`)? `yuv444p` or `yuv420p`?
+- How much compression (`-crf`)? No compression with `0`, intermediate compression with `25` or extreme with `50+`?
+- Which frequency to chose for key frames (`-g`)? A key frame every `10` frames?
+
+How to decode videos?
+- Which `decoder`? `torchvision`, `torchaudio`, `ffmpegio`, `decord`, or `nvc`?
+- What scenarios to use for the requesting timestamps during benchmark? (`timestamps_mode`)
+
+
+## Variables
+**Image content & size**
+We don't expect the same optimal settings for a dataset of images from a simulation, or from real-world in an apartment, or in a factory, or outdoor, or with lots of moving objects in the scene, etc. Similarly, loading times might not vary linearly with the image size (resolution).
+For these reasons, we run this benchmark on four representative datasets:
+- `lerobot/pusht_image`: (96 x 96 pixels) simulation with simple geometric shapes, fixed camera.
+- `aliberts/aloha_mobile_shrimp_image`: (480 x 640 pixels) real-world indoor, moving camera.
+- `aliberts/paris_street`: (720 x 1280 pixels) real-world outdoor, moving camera.
+- `aliberts/kitchen`: (1080 x 1920 pixels) real-world indoor, fixed camera.
+
+Note: The datasets used for this benchmark need to be image datasets, not video datasets.
+
+**Data augmentations**
+We might revisit this benchmark and find better settings if we train our policies with various data augmentations to make them more robust (e.g. robust to color changes, compression, etc.).
+
+### Encoding parameters
+| parameter   | values                                                       |
+|-------------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
+| **vcodec**  | `libx264`, `libx265`, `libsvtav1`                            |
+| **pix_fmt** | `yuv444p`, `yuv420p`                                         |
+| **g**       | `1`, `2`, `3`, `4`, `5`, `6`, `10`, `15`, `20`, `40`, `None` |
+| **crf**     | `0`, `5`, `10`, `15`, `20`, `25`, `30`, `40`, `50`, `None`   |
+
+Note that `crf` value might be interpreted differently by various video codecs. In other words, the same value used with one codec doesn't necessarily translate into the same compression level with another codec. In fact, the default value (`None`) isn't the same amongst the different video codecs. Importantly, it is also the case for many other ffmpeg arguments like `g` which specifies the frequency of the key frames.
+
+For a comprehensive list and documentation of these parameters, see the ffmpeg documentation depending on the video codec used:
+- h264: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264
+- h265: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.265
+- AV1: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AV1
+
+### Decoding parameters
+**Decoder**
+We tested two video decoding backends from torchvision:
+- `pyav`
+- `video_reader` (requires to build torchvision from source)
+
+**Requested timestamps**
+Given the way video decoding works, once a keyframe has been loaded, the decoding of subsequent frames is fast.
+This of course is affected by the `-g` parameter during encoding, which specifies the frequency of the keyframes. Given our typical use cases in robotics policies which might request a few timestamps in different random places, we want to replicate these use cases with the following scenarios:
+- `1_frame`: 1 frame,
+- `2_frames`: 2 consecutive frames (e.g. `[t, t + 1 / fps]`),
+- `6_frames`: 6 consecutive frames (e.g. `[t + i / fps for i in range(6)]`)
+
+Note that this differs significantly from a typical use case like watching a movie, in which every frame is loaded sequentially from the beginning to the end and it's acceptable to have big values for `-g`.
+
+Additionally, because some policies might request single timestamps that are a few frames apart, we also have the following scenario:
+- `2_frames_4_space`: 2 frames with 4 consecutive frames of spacing in between (e.g `[t, t + 5 / fps]`),
+
+However, due to how video decoding is implemented with `pyav`, we don't have access to an accurate seek so in practice this scenario is essentially the same as `6_frames` since all 6 frames between `t` and `t + 5 / fps` will be decoded.
+
+
+## Metrics
+**Data compression ratio (lower is better)**
+`video_images_size_ratio` is the ratio of the memory space on disk taken by the encoded video over the memory space taken by the original images. For instance, `video_images_size_ratio=25%` means that the video takes 4 times less memory space on disk compared to the original images.
+
+**Loading time ratio (lower is better)**
+`video_images_load_time_ratio` is the ratio of the time it takes to decode frames from the video at a given timestamps over the time it takes to load the exact same original images. Lower is better. For instance, `video_images_load_time_ratio=200%` means that decoding from video is 2 times slower than loading the original images.
+
+**Average Mean Square Error (lower is better)**
+`avg_mse` is the average mean square error between each decoded frame and its corresponding original image over all requested timestamps, and also divided by the number of pixels in the image to be comparable when switching to different image sizes.
+
+**Average Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (higher is better)**
+`avg_psnr` measures the ratio between the maximum possible power of a signal and the power of corrupting noise that affects the fidelity of its representation. Higher PSNR indicates better quality.
+
+**Average Structural Similarity Index Measure (higher is better)**
+`avg_ssim` evaluates the perceived quality of images by comparing luminance, contrast, and structure. SSIM values range from -1 to 1, where 1 indicates perfect similarity.
+
+One aspect that can't be measured here with those metrics is the compatibility of the encoding across platforms, in particular on web browser, for visualization purposes.
+h264, h265 and AV1 are all commonly used codecs and should not pose an issue. However, the chroma subsampling (`pix_fmt`) format might affect compatibility:
+- `yuv420p` is more widely supported across various platforms, including web browsers.
+- `yuv444p` offers higher color fidelity but might not be supported as broadly.
+
+
+<!-- **Loss of a pretrained policy (higher is better)** (not available)
+`loss_pretrained` is the result of evaluating with the selected encoding/decoding settings a policy pretrained on original images. It is easier to understand than `avg_l2_error`.
+
+**Success rate after retraining (higher is better)** (not available)
+`success_rate` is the result of training and evaluating a policy with the selected encoding/decoding settings. It is the most difficult metric to get but also the very best. -->
+
+
+## How the benchmark works
+The benchmark evaluates both encoding and decoding of video frames on the first episode of each dataset.
+
+**Encoding:** for each `vcodec` and `pix_fmt` pair, we use a default value for `g` and `crf` upon which we change a single value (either `g` or `crf`) to one of the specified values (we don't test every combination of those as this would be computationally too heavy).
+This gives a unique set of encoding parameters which is used to encode the episode.
+
+**Decoding:** Then, for each of those unique encodings, we iterate through every combination of the decoding parameters `backend` and `timestamps_mode`. For each of them, we record the metrics of a number of samples (given by `--num-samples`). This is parallelized for efficiency and the number of processes can be controlled with `--num-workers`. Ideally, it's best to have a `--num-samples` that is divisible by `--num-workers`.
+
+Intermediate results saved for each `vcodec` and `pix_fmt` combination in csv tables.
+These are then all concatenated to a single table ready for analysis.
+
+## Caveats
+We tried to measure the most impactful parameters for both encoding and decoding. However, for computational reasons we can't test out every combination.
+
+Additional encoding parameters exist that are not included in this benchmark. In particular:
+- `-preset` which allows for selecting encoding presets. This represents a collection of options that will provide a certain encoding speed to compression ratio. By leaving this parameter unspecified, it is considered to be `medium` for libx264 and libx265 and `8` for libsvtav1.
+- `-tune` which allows to optimize the encoding for certain aspects (e.g. film quality, fast decoding, etc.).
+
+See the documentation mentioned above for more detailed info on these settings and for a more comprehensive list of other parameters.
+
+Similarly on the decoding side, other decoders exist but are not implemented in our current benchmark. To name a few:
+- `torchaudio`
+- `ffmpegio`
+- `decord`
+- `nvc`
+
+Note as well that since we are mostly interested in the performance at decoding time (also because encoding is done only once before uploading a dataset), we did not measure encoding times nor have any metrics regarding encoding.
+However, besides the necessity to build ffmpeg from source, encoding did not pose any issue and it didn't take a significant amount of time during this benchmark.
+
+
+## Install
+Building ffmpeg from source is required to include libx265 and libaom/libsvtav1 (av1) video codecs ([compilation guide](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu)).
+
+**Note:** While you still need to build torchvision with a conda-installed `ffmpeg<4.3` to use the `video_reader` decoder (as described in [#220](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/pull/220)), you also need another version which is custom-built with all the video codecs for encoding. For the script to then use that version, you can prepend the command above with `PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"`, which is where ffmpeg should be built.
+
+
+## Adding a video decoder
+Right now, we're only benchmarking the two video decoder available with torchvision: `pyav` and `video_reader`.
+You can easily add a new decoder to benchmark by adding it to this function in the script:
+```diff
+def decode_video_frames(
+    video_path: str,
+    timestamps: list[float],
+    tolerance_s: float,
+    backend: str,
+) -> torch.Tensor:
+    if backend in ["pyav", "video_reader"]:
+        return decode_video_frames_torchvision(
+            video_path, timestamps, tolerance_s, backend
+        )
++    elif backend == ["your_decoder"]:
++        return your_decoder_function(
++            video_path, timestamps, tolerance_s, backend
++        )
+    else:
+        raise NotImplementedError(backend)
+```
+
+
+## Example
+For a quick run, you can try these parameters:
+```bash
+python benchmark/video/run_video_benchmark.py \
+    --output-dir outputs/video_benchmark \
+    --repo-ids \
+        lerobot/pusht_image \
+        aliberts/aloha_mobile_shrimp_image \
+    --vcodec libx264 libx265 \
+    --pix-fmt yuv444p yuv420p \
+    --g 2 20 None \
+    --crf 10 40 None \

+    --backends pyav video_reader \
+    --num-samples 5 \
+    --num-workers 5 \
+    --save-frames 0
+```
+

+
+
+### Parameters selected for LeRobotDataset
+Considering these results, we chose what we think is the best set of encoding parameter:
+- vcodec: `libsvtav1`
+- pix-fmt: `yuv420p`
+- g: `2`
+- crf: `30`
+
+Since we're using av1 encoding, we're choosing the `pyav` decoder as `video_reader` does not support it (and `pyav` doesn't require a custom build of `torchvision`).
+
+### Summary
+
+These tables show the results for `g=2` and `crf=30`, using `timestamps-modes=6_frames` and `backend=pyav`

+
+# 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`
+
+```bash
+Finding all available ports for the MotorBus.
+['/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081', '/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0031751']
+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/tty.usbmodem575E0031751
+Reconnect the usb cable.
+```
+
+Example output follower arm port: `/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081`

+```
+Finding all available ports for the MotorBus.
+['/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081', '/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0031751']
+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/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`
+
+```
+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
+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
+@RobotConfig.register_subclass("so101")
+@dataclass
+class So101RobotConfig(ManipulatorRobotConfig):
+    calibration_dir: str = ".cache/calibration/so101"
+    # `max_relative_target` limits the magnitude of the relative positional target vector for safety purposes.
+    # Set this to a positive scalar to have the same value for all motors, or a list that is the same length as
+    # the number of motors in your follower arms.
+    max_relative_target: int | None = None

+                },
+            ),
+        }
+    )
+```
+
+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 |
+
+### 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.

+
+## 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.

+# 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:
+```

+| `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`).

+# Installation
+
+## Install LeRobot
+
+Download our source code:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git
+cd lerobot
+```
+
+Create a virtual environment with Python 3.10, using [`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:
+<hfoptions id="shell_restart">
+<hfoption id="Windows">
+
+```bash
+source ~/.bashrc
+```
+</hfoption>
+<hfoption id="Mac">
+
+```bash
+source ~/.bash_profile
+```
+</hfoption>
+<hfoption id="zshell">
+
+```bash
+source ~/.zshrc
+```
+</hfoption>
+</hfoptions>
+
+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
+```
+
+> [!TIP]
+> 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]"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+If you encounter build errors, you may need to install additional dependencies: `cmake`, `build-essential`, and `ffmpeg libs`.

+## C. Configure the motors
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Throughout this tutorial you will find videos on how to do the steps, the full video tutorial can be found here: [assembly video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FioA2oeFZ5I).
+
+### 1. Find the USB ports associated to each arm
+
+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).
+
+#### 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 MotorsBus and press Enter when done.
+
+[...Disconnect leader arm and press Enter...]
+
+The port of this MotorsBus 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 MotorsBus and press Enter when done.
+
+[...Disconnect follower arm and press Enter...]
+
+The port of this MotorsBus 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, update the **port** default values of [`SO100RobotConfig`](../lerobot/common/robot_devices/robots/configs.py). You will find something like:
+```diff
+@RobotConfig.register_subclass("so100")
+@dataclass
+class So100RobotConfig(ManipulatorRobotConfig):
+    calibration_dir: str = ".cache/calibration/so100"
+    # `max_relative_target` limits the magnitude of the relative positional target vector for safety purposes.
+    # Set this to a positive scalar to have the same value for all motors, or a list that is the same length as
+    # the number of motors in your follower arms.
+    max_relative_target: int | None = None
+
+    leader_arms: dict[str, MotorsBusConfig] = field(
+        default_factory=lambda: {
+            "main": FeetechMotorsBusConfig(
+-                port="/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431091",
++                port="{ADD YOUR LEADER PORT}",
+                motors={
+                    # name: (index, model)
+                    "shoulder_pan": [1, "sts3215"],
+                    "shoulder_lift": [2, "sts3215"],
+                    "elbow_flex": [3, "sts3215"],
+                    "wrist_flex": [4, "sts3215"],
+                    "wrist_roll": [5, "sts3215"],
+                    "gripper": [6, "sts3215"],
+                },
+            ),
+        }
+    )
+
+    follower_arms: dict[str, MotorsBusConfig] = field(
+        default_factory=lambda: {
+            "main": FeetechMotorsBusConfig(
+-                port="/dev/tty.usbmodem585A0076891",
++                port="{ADD YOUR FOLLOWER PORT}",
+                motors={
+                    # name: (index, model)
+                    "shoulder_pan": [1, "sts3215"],
+                    "shoulder_lift": [2, "sts3215"],
+                    "elbow_flex": [3, "sts3215"],
+                    "wrist_flex": [4, "sts3215"],
+                    "wrist_roll": [5, "sts3215"],
+                    "gripper": [6, "sts3215"],
+                },
+            ),
+        }
+    )
+```
+
+### 2. Assembling the Base
+Let's begin with assembling the follower arm base
+
+#### a. Set IDs for all 12 motors
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>Video configuring motor</strong></summary>
+  <video src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ef9b3317-2e11-4858-b9d3-f0a02fb48ecf"></video>
+  <video src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f36b5ed5-c803-4ebe-8947-b39278776a0d"></video>
+</details>
+
+Plug your first motor F1 and run this script to set its ID to 1. It will also set its present position to 2048, so expect your motor to rotate. Replace the text after --port to the corresponding follower control board port and run this command in cmd:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/configure_motor.py \
+  --port /dev/tty.usbmodem58760432961 \
+  --brand feetech \
+  --model sts3215 \
+  --baudrate 1000000 \
+  --ID 1
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> These motors are currently limited. They can take values between 0 and 4096 only, which corresponds to a full turn. They can't turn more than that. 2048 is at the middle of this range, so we can take -2048 steps (180 degrees anticlockwise) and reach the maximum range, or take +2048 steps (180 degrees clockwise) and reach the maximum range. The configuration step also sets the homing offset to 0, so that if you misassembled the arm, you can always update the homing offset to account for a shift up to ± 2048 steps (± 180 degrees).
+
+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 the process for all your motors until ID 6. Do the same for the 6 motors of the leader arm.
+
+
+#### b. Remove the gears of the 6 leader motors
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>Video removing gears</strong></summary>
+
+<video src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0c95b88c-5b85-413d-ba19-aee2f864f2a7"></video>
+
+</details>
+
+
+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.
+
+## D. Step-by-Step Assembly Instructions
+
+**Step 1: Clean Parts**
+- Remove all support material from the 3D-printed parts.

+  </div>
+
+*Assembly complete – proceed to calibration.*
+
+
+## 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.
+
+| 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
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=so100 \
+  --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-100 leader arm middle position" title="SO-100 leader arm middle position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/so101/leader_zero.webp?raw=true" alt="SO-100 leader arm zero position" title="SO-100 leader arm zero position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/so101/leader_rotated.webp?raw=true" alt="SO-100 leader arm rotated position" title="SO-100 leader arm rotated position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/so101/leader_rest.webp?raw=true" alt="SO-100 leader arm rest position" title="SO-100 leader arm rest position" style="width:100%;"> |
+
+Run this script to launch manual calibration:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=so100 \
+  --robot.cameras='{}' \
+  --control.type=calibrate \
+  --control.arms='["main_leader"]'
+```
+
+## F. Teleoperate
+
+**Simple teleop**
+Then you are ready to teleoperate your robot! Run this simple script (it won't connect and display the cameras):
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=so100 \
+  --robot.cameras='{}' \
+  --control.type=teleoperate
+```
+
+
+#### a. Teleop with displaying cameras
+Follow [this guide to setup your cameras](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/7_get_started_with_real_robot.md#c-add-your-cameras-with-opencvcamera). Then you will be able to display the cameras on your computer while you are teleoperating by running the following code. This is useful to prepare your setup before recording your first dataset.
+
+> **NOTE:** To visualize the data, enable `--control.display_data=true`. This streams the data using `rerun`.
+
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=so100 \
+  --control.type=teleoperate
+```
+
+## G. Record a dataset
+
+Once you're familiar with teleoperation, you can record your first dataset with SO-100.
+
+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 $HF_USER
+```
+
+Record 2 episodes and upload your dataset to the hub:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=so100 \
+  --control.type=record \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.single_task="Grasp a lego block and put it in the bin." \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/so100_test \
+  --control.tags='["so100","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`.
+
+## 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}/so100_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 ${HF_USER}/so100_test \
+  --local-files-only 1
+```
+
+## I. Replay an episode
+
+Now try to replay the first episode on your robot:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=so100 \
+  --control.type=replay \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/so100_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=${HF_USER}/so100_test \
+  --policy.type=act \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/act_so100_test \
+  --job_name=act_so100_test \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --wandb.enable=true
+```
+
+Let's explain it:
+1. We provided the dataset as argument with `--dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/so100_test`.
+2. We provided the policy with `policy.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`.
+
+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 \
+  --robot.type=so100 \
+  --control.type=record \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.single_task="Grasp a lego block and put it in the bin." \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/eval_act_so100_test \
+  --control.tags='["tutorial"]' \
+  --control.warmup_time_s=5 \
+  --control.episode_time_s=30 \
+  --control.reset_time_s=30 \
+  --control.num_episodes=10 \
+  --control.push_to_hub=true \
+  --control.policy.path=outputs/train/act_so100_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
+```
+
+As you can see, it's almost the same command as previously used to record your training dataset. Two things changed:
+1. There is an additional `--control.policy.path` argument which indicates the path to your policy checkpoint with  (e.g. `outputs/train/eval_act_so100_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model`). You can also use the model repository if you uploaded a model checkpoint to the hub (e.g. `${HF_USER}/act_so100_test`).
+2. The name of dataset begins by `eval` to reflect that you are running inference (e.g. `${HF_USER}/eval_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.

+
+## 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.
+    # Set this to a positive scalar to have the same value for all motors, or a list that is the same length as
+    # the number of motors in your follower arms.
+    max_relative_target: int | None = None
+
+    # Network Configuration
+    ip: str = "172.17.133.91"

+
+# 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. Rest position                                                                                                                                                  |
+| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| <img src="../media/lekiwi/mobile_calib_zero.webp?raw=true" alt="SO-100 follower arm zero position" title="SO-100 follower arm zero position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/lekiwi/mobile_calib_rotated.webp?raw=true" alt="SO-100 follower arm rotated position" title="SO-100 follower arm rotated position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/lekiwi/mobile_calib_rest.webp?raw=true" alt="SO-100 follower arm rest position" title="SO-100 follower arm rest position" style="width:100%;"> |
+
+Make sure the arm is connected to the Raspberry Pi and run this script (on the Raspberry Pi) to launch manual calibration:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=lekiwi \
+  --robot.cameras='{}' \
+  --control.type=calibrate \
+  --control.arms='["main_follower"]'
+```
+
+### Wired version
+If you have the **wired** LeKiwi version please run all commands including this calibration command on your laptop.
+
+### Calibrate leader arm
+Then to calibrate the leader arm (which is attached to the laptop/pc). You will need to move the leader arm to these positions sequentially:
+
+| 1. Zero position                                                                                                                                       | 2. Rotated position                                                                                                                                             | 3. Rest position                                                                                                                                       |
+| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| <img src="../media/so100/leader_zero.webp?raw=true" alt="SO-100 leader arm zero position" title="SO-100 leader arm zero position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/so100/leader_rotated.webp?raw=true" alt="SO-100 leader arm rotated position" title="SO-100 leader arm rotated position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/so100/leader_rest.webp?raw=true" alt="SO-100 leader arm rest position" title="SO-100 leader arm rest position" style="width:100%;"> |
+
+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`).

+This tutorial explains how to use [Moss v1](https://github.com/jess-moss/moss-robot-arms) with LeRobot.
+
+## Source the parts
+
+Follow this [README](https://github.com/jess-moss/moss-robot-arms). It contains the bill of materials with 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 already.
+
+**Important**: 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
+
+On your computer:
+
+1. [Install Miniconda](https://docs.anaconda.com/miniconda/#quick-command-line-install):
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/miniconda3
+wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -O ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
+bash ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh -b -u -p ~/miniconda3
+rm ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
+~/miniconda3/bin/conda init bash
+```
+
+2. Restart shell or `source ~/.bashrc`
+
+3. Create and activate a fresh conda environment for lerobot
+```bash
+conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.10 && conda activate lerobot
+```
+
+4. Clone LeRobot:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git ~/lerobot
+```
+
+5. Install ffmpeg in your environment:
+When using `miniconda`, install `ffmpeg` in your environment:
+```bash
+conda install ffmpeg -c conda-forge
+```
+
+6. Install LeRobot with dependencies for the feetech motors:
+```bash
+cd ~/lerobot && pip install -e ".[feetech]"
+```
+
+## Configure the motors
+
+Follow step 1 of the [assembly video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA91NJOtMic) which illustrates the use of our scripts below.
+
+**Find USB ports associated to your arms**
+To find the correct ports for each arm, run the utility script twice:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/find_motors_bus_port.py
+```
+
+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.

+
+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
+```
+
+#### Update config file
+
+IMPORTANTLY: Now that you have your ports, update the **port** default values of [`MossRobotConfig`](../lerobot/common/robot_devices/robots/configs.py). You will find something like:
+```python
+@RobotConfig.register_subclass("moss")
+@dataclass
+class MossRobotConfig(ManipulatorRobotConfig):
+    calibration_dir: str = ".cache/calibration/moss"
+    # `max_relative_target` limits the magnitude of the relative positional target vector for safety purposes.
+    # Set this to a positive scalar to have the same value for all motors, or a list that is the same length as
+    # the number of motors in your follower arms.
+    max_relative_target: int | None = None
+
+    leader_arms: dict[str, MotorsBusConfig] = field(
+        default_factory=lambda: {
+            "main": FeetechMotorsBusConfig(
+                port="/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431091",  <-- UPDATE HERE
+                motors={
+                    # name: (index, model)
+                    "shoulder_pan": [1, "sts3215"],
+                    "shoulder_lift": [2, "sts3215"],
+                    "elbow_flex": [3, "sts3215"],
+                    "wrist_flex": [4, "sts3215"],
+                    "wrist_roll": [5, "sts3215"],
+                    "gripper": [6, "sts3215"],
+                },
+            ),
+        }
+    )
+
+    follower_arms: dict[str, MotorsBusConfig] = field(
+        default_factory=lambda: {
+            "main": FeetechMotorsBusConfig(
+                port="/dev/tty.usbmodem585A0076891",  <-- UPDATE HERE
+                motors={
+                    # name: (index, model)
+                    "shoulder_pan": [1, "sts3215"],
+                    "shoulder_lift": [2, "sts3215"],
+                    "elbow_flex": [3, "sts3215"],
+                    "wrist_flex": [4, "sts3215"],
+                    "wrist_roll": [5, "sts3215"],
+                    "gripper": [6, "sts3215"],
+                },
+            ),
+        }
+    )
+```
+
+**Configure your motors**
+Plug your first motor and run this script to set its ID to 1. It will also set its present position to 2048, so expect your motor to rotate:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/configure_motor.py \
+  --port /dev/tty.usbmodem58760432961 \
+  --brand feetech \
+  --model sts3215 \
+  --baudrate 1000000 \
+  --ID 1
+```
+
+Note: These motors are currently limited. They can take values between 0 and 4096 only, which corresponds to a full turn. They can't turn more than that. 2048 is at the middle of this range, so we can take -2048 steps (180 degrees anticlockwise) and reach the maximum range, or take +2048 steps (180 degrees clockwise) and reach the maximum range. The configuration step also sets the homing offset to 0, so that if you misassembled the arm, you can always update the homing offset to account for a shift up to ± 2048 steps (± 180 degrees).
+
+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 the process for all your motors until ID 6. Do the same for the 6 motors of the leader arm.
+
+**Remove the gears of the 6 leader motors**
+Follow step 2 of the [assembly video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA91NJOtMic). 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.
+
+**Add motor horn to the motors**
+Follow step 3 of the [assembly video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA91NJOtMic). For Moss v1, you need to align the holes on the motor horn to the motor spline to be approximately 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock.
+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.
+
+## Assemble the arms
+
+Follow step 4 of the [assembly video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA91NJOtMic). The first arm should take a bit more than 1 hour to assemble, but once you get used to it, you can do it under 1 hour for the second arm.
+
+## Calibrate
+
+Next, you'll need to calibrate your Moss v1 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 Moss v1 robot to work on another.
+
+**Manual calibration of follower arm**
+/!\ Contrarily to step 6 of the [assembly video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA91NJOtMic) 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. Rest position                                                                                                                                              |
+| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

+
+Make sure both arms are connected and run this script to launch manual calibration:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=moss \
+  --robot.cameras='{}' \
+  --control.type=calibrate \
+  --control.arms='["main_follower"]'
+```
+
+**Manual calibration of leader arm**
+Follow step 6 of the [assembly video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA91NJOtMic) which illustrates the manual calibration. You will need to move the leader arm to these positions sequentially:
+
+| 1. Zero position                                                                                                                                        | 2. Rotated position                                                                                                                                              | 3. Rest position                                                                                                                                        |
+| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| <img src="../media/moss/leader_zero.webp?raw=true" alt="Moss v1 leader arm zero position" title="Moss v1 leader arm zero position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/moss/leader_rotated.webp?raw=true" alt="Moss v1 leader arm rotated position" title="Moss v1 leader arm rotated position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/moss/leader_rest.webp?raw=true" alt="Moss v1 leader arm rest position" title="Moss v1 leader arm rest position" style="width:100%;"> |
+
+Run this script to launch manual calibration:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=moss \
+  --robot.cameras='{}' \
+  --control.type=calibrate \
+  --control.arms='["main_leader"]'
+```
+
+## Teleoperate
+
+**Simple teleop**
+Then you are ready to teleoperate your robot! Run this simple script (it won't connect and display the cameras):
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=moss \
+  --robot.cameras='{}' \
+  --control.type=teleoperate
+```
+
+
+**Teleop with displaying cameras**
+Follow [this guide to setup your cameras](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/7_get_started_with_real_robot.md#c-add-your-cameras-with-opencvcamera). Then you will be able to display the cameras on your computer while you are teleoperating by running the following code. This is useful to prepare your setup before recording your first dataset.
+
+> **NOTE:** To visualize the data, enable `--control.display_data=true`. This streams the data using `rerun`.
+
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=moss \
+  --control.type=teleoperate
+```
+
+## Record a dataset
+
+Once you're familiar with teleoperation, you can record your first dataset with Moss v1.
+
+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 $HF_USER
+```
+
+Record 2 episodes and upload your dataset to the hub:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=moss \
+  --control.type=record \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.single_task="Grasp a lego block and put it in the bin." \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/moss_test \
+  --control.tags='["moss","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`.
+
+## 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}/moss_test
+```
+
+If you didn't upload with `--control.push_to_hub=false`, you can also visualize it locally with:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/visualize_dataset_html.py \
+  --repo-id ${HF_USER}/moss_test \
+  --local-files-only 1
+```
+
+## Replay an episode
+
+Now try to replay the first episode on your robot:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=moss \
+  --control.type=replay \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/moss_test \
+  --control.episode=0
+```
+
+## 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=${HF_USER}/moss_test \
+  --policy.type=act \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/act_moss_test \
+  --job_name=act_moss_test \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --wandb.enable=true
+```
+
+Let's explain it:
+1. We provided the dataset as argument with `--dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/moss_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_moss_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 \
+  --robot.type=moss \
+  --control.type=record \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.single_task="Grasp a lego block and put it in the bin." \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/eval_act_moss_test \
+  --control.tags='["tutorial"]' \
+  --control.warmup_time_s=5 \
+  --control.episode_time_s=30 \
+  --control.reset_time_s=30 \
+  --control.num_episodes=10 \
+  --control.push_to_hub=true \
+  --control.policy.path=outputs/train/act_moss_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
+```
+
+As you can see, it's almost the same command as previously used to record your training dataset. Two things changed:
+1. There is an additional `--control.policy.path` argument which indicates the path to your policy checkpoint with  (e.g. `outputs/train/eval_act_moss_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model`). You can also use the model repository if you uploaded a model checkpoint to the hub (e.g. `${HF_USER}/act_moss_test`).
+2. The name of dataset begins by `eval` to reflect that you are running inference (e.g. `${HF_USER}/eval_act_moss_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`
+
+```bash
+Finding all available ports for the MotorBus.
+['/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081', '/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0031751']
+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/tty.usbmodem575E0031751
+Reconnect the usb cable.
+```
+
+Example output follower arm port: `/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081`
+
+```
+Finding all available ports for the MotorBus.
+['/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081', '/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0031751']
+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/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
+Reconnect the usb cable.
+```
+
+#### 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
+@RobotConfig.register_subclass("so101")
+@dataclass
+class So101RobotConfig(ManipulatorRobotConfig):
+    calibration_dir: str = ".cache/calibration/so101"
+    # `max_relative_target` limits the magnitude of the relative positional target vector for safety purposes.
+    # Set this to a positive scalar to have the same value for all motors, or a list that is the same length as
+    # the number of motors in your follower arms.
+    max_relative_target: int | None = None
+
+    leader_arms: dict[str, MotorsBusConfig] = field(
+        default_factory=lambda: {
+            "main": FeetechMotorsBusConfig(

+<video controls width="640" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fc45d756-31bb-4a61-b973-a87d633d08a7" type="video/mp4"></video>
+
+### 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:
+
+<video controls width="640" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b31c115f-e706-4dcd-b7f1-4535da62416d" type="video/mp4"></video>
+
+## 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:
+```

+```
+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`).

+This tutorial will explain the training script, how to use it, and particularly how to configure everything needed for the training run.
+> **Note:** The following assumes you're running these commands on a machine equipped with a cuda GPU. If you don't have one (or if you're using a Mac), you can add `--policy.device=cpu` (`--policy.device=mps` respectively). However, be advised that the code executes much slower on cpu.
+
+
+## The training script
+
+LeRobot offers a training script at [`lerobot/scripts/train.py`](../lerobot/scripts/train.py). At a high level it does the following:
+
+- Initialize/load a configuration for the following steps using.
+- Instantiates a dataset.
+- (Optional) Instantiates a simulation environment corresponding to that dataset.
+- Instantiates a policy.
+- Runs a standard training loop with forward pass, backward pass, optimization step, and occasional logging, evaluation (of the policy on the environment), and checkpointing.
+
+## Overview of the configuration system
+
+In the training script, the main function `train` expects a `TrainPipelineConfig` object:
+```python
+# train.py
+@parser.wrap()
+def train(cfg: TrainPipelineConfig):
+```
+
+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)
+
+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 creates a hierarchical relationship where, for example assuming we have a `cfg` instance of `TrainPipelineConfig`, we can access the `repo_id` value with `cfg.dataset.repo_id`.
+From the command line, we can specify this value by using a very similar syntax `--dataset.repo_id=repo/id`.
+
+By default, every field takes its default value specified in the dataclass. If a field doesn't have a default value, it needs to be specified either from the command line or from a config file – which path is also given in the command line (more in this below). In the example above, the `dataset` field doesn't have a default value which means it must be specified.
+
+
+## Specifying values from the CLI
+
+Let's say that we want to train [Diffusion Policy](../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 \
+    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/pusht \
+    --policy.type=diffusion \
+    --env.type=pusht
+```
+
+Let's break this down:
+- To specify the dataset, we just need to specify its `repo_id` on the hub which is the only required argument in the `DatasetConfig`. The rest of the fields have default values and in this case we are fine with those so we can just add the option `--dataset.repo_id=lerobot/pusht`.
+- To specify the policy, we can just select diffusion policy using `--policy` appended with `.type`. Here, `.type` is a special argument which allows us to select config classes inheriting from `draccus.ChoiceRegistry` and that have been decorated with the `register_subclass()` method. To have a better explanation of this feature, have a look at this [Draccus demo](https://github.com/dlwh/draccus?tab=readme-ov-file#more-flexible-configuration-with-choice-types). In our code, we use this mechanism mainly to select policies, environments, robots, and some other components like optimizers. The policies available to select are located in [lerobot/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 \
+    --policy.type=act \
+    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human \
+    --env.type=aloha \
+    --output_dir=outputs/train/act_aloha_insertion
+```
+> Notice we added `--output_dir` to explicitly tell where to write outputs from this run (checkpoints, training state, configs etc.). This is not mandatory and if you don't specify it, a default directory will be created from the current date and time, env.type and policy.type. This will typically look like `outputs/train/2025-01-24/16-10-05_aloha_act`.
+
+We now want to train a different policy for aloha on another task. We'll change the dataset and use [lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human) instead. Of course, we also need to change the task of the environment as well to match this other task.
+Looking at the [`AlohaEnv`](../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 \
+    --policy.type=act \
+    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human \
+    --env.type=aloha \
+    --env.task=AlohaTransferCube-v0 \
+    --output_dir=outputs/train/act_aloha_transfer
+```
+
+## Loading from a config file
+
+Now, let's assume that we want to reproduce the run just above. That run has produced a `train_config.json` file in its checkpoints, which serializes the `TrainPipelineConfig` instance it used:
+```json
+{
+    "dataset": {
+        "repo_id": "lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human",
+        "episodes": null,
+        ...
+    },
+    "env": {
+        "type": "aloha",
+        "task": "AlohaTransferCube-v0",
+        "fps": 50,
+        ...
+    },
+    "policy": {
+        "type": "act",
+        "n_obs_steps": 1,
+        ...
+    },
+    ...
+}
+```
+
+We can then simply load the config values from this file using:
+```bash
+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
+```
+
+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_state/
+│       ├── optimizer_param_groups.json  #  optimizer param groups
+│       ├── optimizer_state.safetensors  # optimizer state
+│       ├── rng_state.safetensors  # rng states
+│       ├── scheduler_state.json  # scheduler state
+│       └── training_step.json  # training step
+├── 000200
+└── last -> 000200  # symlink to the last available checkpoint
+```
+
+## Fine-tuning a pre-trained policy
+
+In addition to the features currently in Draccus, we've added a special `.path` argument for the policy, which allows to load a policy as you would with `PreTrainedPolicy.from_pretrained()`. In that case, `path` can be a local directory that contains a checkpoint or a repo_id pointing to a pretrained policy on the hub.
+
+For example, we could fine-tune a [policy pre-trained on the aloha transfer task](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/act_aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human) on the aloha insertion task. We can achieve this with:
+```bash
+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 configured your run correctly. The final configuration will also be saved with the checkpoint.
+
+After that, you will see training log like this one:
+```
+INFO 2024-08-14 13:35:12 ts/train.py:192 step:0 smpl:64 ep:1 epch:0.00 loss:1.112 grdn:15.387 lr:2.0e-07 updt_s:1.738 data_s:4.774
+```
+or evaluation log:
+```
+INFO 2024-08-14 13:38:45 ts/train.py:226 step:100 smpl:6K ep:52 epch:0.25 ∑rwrd:20.693 success:0.0% eval_s:120.266
+```
+
+These logs will also be saved in wandb if `wandb.enable` is set to `true`. Here are the meaning of some abbreviations:
+- `smpl`: number of samples seen during training.
+- `ep`: number of episodes seen during training. An episode contains multiple samples in a complete manipulation task.
+- `epch`: number of time all unique samples are seen (epoch).
+- `grdn`: gradient norm.
+- `∑rwrd`: compute the sum of rewards in every evaluation episode and then take an average of them.
+- `success`: average success rate of eval episodes. Reward and success are usually different except for the sparsing reward setting, where reward=1 only when the task is completed successfully.
+- `eval_s`: time to evaluate the policy in the environment, in second.
+- `updt_s`: time to update the network parameters, in second.
+- `data_s`: time to load a batch of data, in second.
+
+Some metrics are useful for initial performance profiling. For example, if you find the current GPU utilization is low via the `nvidia-smi` command and `data_s` sometimes is too high, you may need to modify batch size or number of dataloading workers to accelerate dataloading. We also recommend [pytorch profiler](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot?tab=readme-ov-file#improve-your-code-with-profiling) for detailed performance probing.
+
+## In short
+
+We'll summarize here the main use cases to remember from this tutorial.
+
+#### Train a policy from scratch – CLI
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
+    --policy.type=act \  # <- select 'act' policy
+    --env.type=pusht \  # <- select 'pusht' environment
+    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/pusht  # <- train on this dataset
+```
+
+#### Train a policy from scratch - config file + CLI
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
+    --config_path=path/to/pretrained_model \  # <- can also be a repo_id
+    --policy.n_action_steps=80  # <- you may still override values
+```
+
+#### Resume/continue a training run
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
+    --config_path=checkpoint/pretrained_model/ \
+    --resume=true \
+    --steps=200000  # <- you can change some training parameters
+```
+
+#### Fine-tuning
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
+    --policy.path=lerobot/act_aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human \  # <- can also be a local path to a checkpoint
+    --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human \
+    --env.type=aloha \
+    --env.task=AlohaInsertion-v0
+```

+# Getting Started with Real-World Robots
+
+This tutorial will guide you through the process of setting up and training a neural network to autonomously control a real robot.
+
+**What You'll Learn:**
+1. How to order and assemble your robot.
+2. How to connect, configure, and calibrate your robot.
+3. How to record and visualize your dataset.
+4. How to train a policy using your data and prepare it for evaluation.
+5. 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 [Koch v1.1](https://github.com/jess-moss/koch-v1-1) 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 Koch v1.1 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. Thanks!
+
+## 1. Order and Assemble your Koch v1.1
+
+Follow the sourcing and assembling instructions provided on the [Koch v1.1 Github page](https://github.com/jess-moss/koch-v1-1). This will guide you through setting up both the follower and leader arms, as shown in the image below.
+
+<div style="text-align:center;">
+  <img src="../media/tutorial/koch_v1_1_leader_follower.webp?raw=true" alt="Koch v1.1 leader and follower arms" title="Koch v1.1 leader and follower arms" width="50%">
+</div>
+
+For a visual walkthrough of the assembly process, you can refer to [this video tutorial](https://youtu.be/8nQIg9BwwTk).
+
+## 2. Configure motors, calibrate arms, teleoperate your Koch v1.1
+
+First, install the additional dependencies required for robots built with dynamixel motors like Koch v1.1 by running one of the following commands (make sure gcc is installed).
+
+Using `pip`:
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[dynamixel]"
+```
+
+Using `poetry`:
+```bash
+poetry sync --extras "dynamixel"
+```
+
+Using `uv`:
+```bash
+uv sync --extra "dynamixel"
+```
+
+You are now ready to plug the 5V power supply to the motor bus of the leader arm (the smaller one) since all its motors only require 5V.
+
+Then plug the 12V power supply to the motor bus of the follower arm. It has two motors that need 12V, and the rest will be powered with 5V through the voltage convertor.
+
+Finally, connect both arms to your computer via USB. Note that the USB doesn't provide any power, and both arms need to be plugged in with their associated power supply to be detected by your computer.
+
+Now you are ready to configure your motors for the first time, as detailed in the sections below. In the upcoming sections, you'll learn about our classes and functions by running some python code in an interactive session, or by copy-pasting it in a python file.
+
+If you have already configured your motors the first time, you can streamline the process by directly running the teleoperate script (which is detailed further in the tutorial):
+
+> **NOTE:** To visualize the data, enable `--control.display_data=true`. This streams the data using `rerun`.
+
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=koch \
+  --control.type=teleoperate
+```
+
+It will automatically:
+1. Identify any missing calibrations and initiate the calibration procedure.
+2. Connect the robot and start teleoperation.
+
+### 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"`).
+
+To find the correct ports for each arm, run the utility script twice:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/find_motors_bus_port.py
+```
+
+Example output when identifying the leader arm's port (e.g., `/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0031751` on Mac, or possibly `/dev/ttyACM0` on Linux):
+```

+
+The port of this DynamixelMotorsBus is /dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081
+Reconnect the usb cable.
+```
+
+Troubleshooting: On Linux, you might need to give access to the USB ports by running this command with your ports:
+```bash
+sudo chmod 666 /dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081
+sudo chmod 666 /dev/tty.usbmodem575E0031751
+```
+
+*Listing and Configuring Motors*
+
+Next, you'll need to list the motors for each arm, including their name, index, and model. Initially, each motor is assigned the factory default index `1`. Since each motor requires a unique index to function correctly when connected in a chain on a common bus, you'll need to assign different indices. It's recommended to use an ascending index order, starting from `1` (e.g., `1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6`). These indices will be saved in the persistent memory of each motor during the first connection.
+
+To assign indices to the motors, run this code in an interactive Python session. Replace the `port` values with the ones you identified earlier:
+```python
+from lerobot.common.robot_devices.motors.configs import DynamixelMotorsBusConfig
+from lerobot.common.robot_devices.motors.dynamixel import DynamixelMotorsBus
+
+leader_config = DynamixelMotorsBusConfig(
+    port="/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0031751",
+    motors={
+        # name: (index, model)
+        "shoulder_pan": (1, "xl330-m077"),
+        "shoulder_lift": (2, "xl330-m077"),
+        "elbow_flex": (3, "xl330-m077"),
+        "wrist_flex": (4, "xl330-m077"),
+        "wrist_roll": (5, "xl330-m077"),
+        "gripper": (6, "xl330-m077"),
+    },
+)
+
+follower_config = DynamixelMotorsBusConfig(
+    port="/dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081",
+    motors={
+        # name: (index, model)
+        "shoulder_pan": (1, "xl430-w250"),
+        "shoulder_lift": (2, "xl430-w250"),
+        "elbow_flex": (3, "xl330-m288"),
+        "wrist_flex": (4, "xl330-m288"),
+        "wrist_roll": (5, "xl330-m288"),
+        "gripper": (6, "xl330-m288"),
+    },
+)
+
+leader_arm = DynamixelMotorsBus(leader_config)
+follower_arm = DynamixelMotorsBus(follower_config)
+```
+
+IMPORTANTLY: Now that you have your ports, update [`KochRobotConfig`](../lerobot/common/robot_devices/robots/configs.py). You will find something like:
+```python
+@RobotConfig.register_subclass("koch")
+@dataclass
+class KochRobotConfig(ManipulatorRobotConfig):
+    calibration_dir: str = ".cache/calibration/koch"
+    # `max_relative_target` limits the magnitude of the relative positional target vector for safety purposes.
+    # Set this to a positive scalar to have the same value for all motors, or a list that is the same length as
+    # the number of motors in your follower arms.
+    max_relative_target: int | None = None
+
+    leader_arms: dict[str, MotorsBusConfig] = field(
+        default_factory=lambda: {
+            "main": DynamixelMotorsBusConfig(
+                port="/dev/tty.usbmodem585A0085511", <-- UPDATE HERE
+                motors={
+                    # name: (index, model)
+                    "shoulder_pan": [1, "xl330-m077"],
+                    "shoulder_lift": [2, "xl330-m077"],
+                    "elbow_flex": [3, "xl330-m077"],
+                    "wrist_flex": [4, "xl330-m077"],
+                    "wrist_roll": [5, "xl330-m077"],
+                    "gripper": [6, "xl330-m077"],
+                },
+            ),
+        }
+    )
+
+    follower_arms: dict[str, MotorsBusConfig] = field(
+        default_factory=lambda: {
+            "main": DynamixelMotorsBusConfig(
+                port="/dev/tty.usbmodem585A0076891", <-- UPDATE HERE
+                motors={
+                    # name: (index, model)
+                    "shoulder_pan": [1, "xl430-w250"],
+                    "shoulder_lift": [2, "xl430-w250"],
+                    "elbow_flex": [3, "xl330-m288"],
+                    "wrist_flex": [4, "xl330-m288"],
+                    "wrist_roll": [5, "xl330-m288"],
+                    "gripper": [6, "xl330-m288"],
+                },
+            ),
+        }
+    )
+```
+
+**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.
+
+For a visual guide, refer to the [video tutorial of the configuration procedure](https://youtu.be/U78QQ9wCdpY).
+
+To connect and configure the leader arm, run the following code in the same Python interactive session as earlier in the tutorial:
+```python
+leader_arm.connect()
+```
+
+When you connect the leader arm for the first time, you might see an output similar to this:
+```
+Read failed due to communication error on port /dev/tty.usbmodem575E0032081 for group_key ID_shoulder_pan_shoulder_lift_elbow_flex_wrist_flex_wrist_roll_gripper: [TxRxResult] There is no status packet!
+
+/!\ A configuration issue has been detected with your motors:
+If this is the first time you are using these motors, press enter to configure your motors... but before verify that all the cables are connected the proper way. If you find an issue, before making a modification, kill the python process, unplug the power cord to not damage the motors, rewire correctly, then plug the power again and relaunch the script.
+
+Motor indices detected: {9600: [1]}
+
+1. Unplug the power cord
+2. Plug/unplug minimal number of cables to only have the first 1 motor(s) (['shoulder_pan']) connected.
+3. Re-plug the power cord
+Press Enter to continue...
+
+*Follow the procedure*
+
+Setting expected motor indices: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
+```
+
+Once the leader arm is configured, repeat the process for the follower arm by running:
+```python
+follower_arm.connect()
+```
+
+Congratulations! Both arms are now properly configured and connected. You won't need to go through the configuration procedure again in the future.
+
+**Troubleshooting**:
+
+If the configuration process fails, you may need to do the configuration process via the Dynamixel Wizard.
+
+Known failure modes:
+- Calling `arm.connect()` raises `OSError: No motor found, but one new motor expected. Verify power cord is plugged in and retry` on Ubuntu 22.
+
+Steps:
+1. Visit https://emanual.robotis.com/docs/en/software/dynamixel/dynamixel_wizard2/#connect-dynamixel.
+2. Follow the software installation instructions in section 3 of the web page.
+3. Launch the software.
+4. Configure the device scanning options in the menu under `Tools` > `Options` > `Scan`. Check only Protocol 2.0, select only the USB port identifier of interest, select all baudrates, set the ID range to `[0, 10]`. _While this step was not strictly necessary, it greatly speeds up scanning_.
+5. For each motor in turn:
+    - Disconnect the power to the driver board.
+    - Connect **only** the motor of interest to the driver board, making sure to disconnect it from any other motors.
+    - Reconnect the power to the driver board.
+    - From the software menu select `Device` > `Scan` and let the scan run. A device should appear.
+    - If the device has an asterisk (*) near it, it means the firmware is indeed outdated. From the software menu, select `Tools` > `Firmware Update`. Follow the prompts.
+    - The main panel should have table with various parameters of the device (refer to the web page, section 5). Select the row with `ID`, and then set the desired ID on the bottom right panel by selecting and clicking `Save`.
+    - Just like you did with the ID, also set the `Baud Rate` to 1 Mbps.
+6. Check everything has been done right:
+   - Rewire the arms in their final configuration and power both of them.
+   - Scan for devices. All 12 motors should appear.
+   - Select the motors one by one and move the arm. Check that the graphical indicator near the top right shows the movement.
+
+** 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:
+  1) Install the Dynamixel Wizard on a linux machine and complete the firmware recovery
+  2) Use the Dynamixel U2D2 in order to perform the reset with Windows or Mac.  This U2D2 can be purchased [here](https://www.robotis.us/u2d2/).
+  For either solution, open DYNAMIXEL Wizard 2.0 and select the appropriate port. You will likely be unable to see the motor in the GUI at this time. Select `Firmware Recovery`, carefully choose the correct model, and wait for the process to complete. Finally, re-scan to confirm the firmware recovery was successful.
+
+**Read and Write with DynamixelMotorsBus**
+
+To get familiar with how `DynamixelMotorsBus` communicates with the motors, you can start by reading data from them. Copy past this code in the same interactive python session:
+```python
+leader_pos = leader_arm.read("Present_Position")
+follower_pos = follower_arm.read("Present_Position")
+print(leader_pos)
+print(follower_pos)
+```
+
+Expected output might look like:
+```
+array([2054,  523, 3071, 1831, 3049, 2441], dtype=int32)
+array([2003, 1601,   56, 2152, 3101, 2283], dtype=int32)
+```
+
+Try moving the arms to various positions and observe how the values change.
+
+Now let's try to enable torque in the follower arm by copy pasting this code:
+```python
+from lerobot.common.robot_devices.motors.dynamixel import TorqueMode
+
+follower_arm.write("Torque_Enable", TorqueMode.ENABLED.value)
+```
+
+With torque enabled, the follower arm will be locked in its current position. Do not attempt to manually move the arm while torque is enabled, as this could damage the motors.
+
+Now, to get more familiar with reading and writing, let's move the arm programmatically copy pasting the following example code:
+```python
+# Get the current position
+position = follower_arm.read("Present_Position")
+
+# Update first motor (shoulder_pan) position by +10 steps
+position[0] += 10
+follower_arm.write("Goal_Position", position)
+
+# Update all motors position by -30 steps
+position -= 30
+follower_arm.write("Goal_Position", position)
+
+# Update gripper by +30 steps
+position[-1] += 30
+follower_arm.write("Goal_Position", position[-1], "gripper")
+```
+
+When you're done playing, you can try to disable the torque, but make sure you hold your robot so that it doesn't fall:
+```python
+follower_arm.write("Torque_Enable", TorqueMode.DISABLED.value)
+```
+
+Finally, disconnect the arms:
+```python
+leader_arm.disconnect()
+follower_arm.disconnect()
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can unplug the power cord, which will automatically disable torque and disconnect the motors.
+
+*/!\ Warning*: These motors tend to overheat, especially under torque or if left plugged in for too long. Unplug after use.
+
+### b. Teleoperate your Koch v1.1 with ManipulatorRobot
+
+**Instantiate the ManipulatorRobot**
+
+Before you can teleoperate your robot, you need to instantiate the  [`ManipulatorRobot`](../lerobot/common/robot_devices/robots/manipulator.py) using the previously defined `leader_config` and `follower_config`.
+
+For the Koch v1.1 robot, we only have one leader, so we refer to it as `"main"` and define it as `leader_arms={"main": leader_config}`. We do the same for the follower arm. For other robots (like the Aloha), which may have two pairs of leader and follower arms, you would define them like this: `leader_arms={"left": left_leader_config, "right": right_leader_config},`. Same thing for the follower arms.
+
+
+Run the following code to instantiate your manipulator robot:
+```python
+from lerobot.common.robot_devices.robots.configs import KochRobotConfig
+from lerobot.common.robot_devices.robots.manipulator import ManipulatorRobot
+
+robot_config = KochRobotConfig(
+    leader_arms={"main": leader_config},
+    follower_arms={"main": follower_config},
+    cameras={},  # We don't use any camera for now
+)
+robot = ManipulatorRobot(robot_config)
+```
+
+The `KochRobotConfig` is used to set the associated settings and calibration process. For instance, we activate the torque of the gripper of the leader Koch v1.1 arm and position it at a 40 degree angle to use it as a trigger.
+
+For the [Aloha bimanual robot](https://aloha-2.github.io), we would use `AlohaRobotConfig` to set different settings such as a secondary ID for shadow joints (shoulder, elbow). Specific to Aloha, LeRobot comes with default calibration files stored in `.cache/calibration/aloha_default`. Assuming the motors have been properly assembled, no manual calibration step is expected for Aloha.
+
+**Calibrate and Connect the ManipulatorRobot**
+
+Next, you'll need to calibrate your Koch 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 Koch robot to work on another.
+
+When you connect your robot for the first time, the [`ManipulatorRobot`](../lerobot/common/robot_devices/robots/manipulator.py) will detect if the calibration file is missing and trigger the calibration procedure. During this process, you will be guided to move each arm to three different positions.
+
+Here are the positions you'll move the follower arm to:
+
+| 1. Zero position                                                                                                                                                  | 2. Rotated position                                                                                                                                                        | 3. Rest position                                                                                                                                                  |
+| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| <img src="../media/koch/follower_zero.webp?raw=true" alt="Koch v1.1 follower arm zero position" title="Koch v1.1 follower arm zero position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/koch/follower_rotated.webp?raw=true" alt="Koch v1.1 follower arm rotated position" title="Koch v1.1 follower arm rotated position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/koch/follower_rest.webp?raw=true" alt="Koch v1.1 follower arm rest position" title="Koch v1.1 follower arm rest position" style="width:100%;"> |
+
+And here are the corresponding positions for the leader arm:
+
+| 1. Zero position                                                                                                                                            | 2. Rotated position                                                                                                                                                  | 3. Rest position                                                                                                                                            |
+| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| <img src="../media/koch/leader_zero.webp?raw=true" alt="Koch v1.1 leader arm zero position" title="Koch v1.1 leader arm zero position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/koch/leader_rotated.webp?raw=true" alt="Koch v1.1 leader arm rotated position" title="Koch v1.1 leader arm rotated position" style="width:100%;"> | <img src="../media/koch/leader_rest.webp?raw=true" alt="Koch v1.1 leader arm rest position" title="Koch v1.1 leader arm rest position" style="width:100%;"> |
+
+You can watch a [video tutorial of the calibration procedure](https://youtu.be/8drnU9uRY24) for more details.
+
+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 you 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 measure if the values changed negatively or positively.
+
+Finally, the rest position ensures that the follower and leader arms are roughly aligned after calibration, preventing sudden movements that could damage the motors when starting teleoperation.
+
+Importantly, once calibrated, all Koch robots will move to the same positions (e.g. zero and rotated position) when commanded.
+
+Run the following code to calibrate and connect your robot:
+```python
+robot.connect()
+```
+
+The output will look like this:
+```
+Connecting main follower arm
+Connecting main leader arm
+
+Missing calibration file '.cache/calibration/koch/main_follower.json'
+Running calibration of koch main follower...
+Move arm to zero position
+[...]
+Move arm to rotated position
+[...]
+Move arm to rest position
+[...]
+Calibration is done! Saving calibration file '.cache/calibration/koch/main_follower.json'
+
+Missing calibration file '.cache/calibration/koch/main_leader.json'
+Running calibration of koch main leader...
+Move arm to zero position
+[...]
+Move arm to rotated position
+[...]
+Move arm to rest position
+[...]
+Calibration is done! Saving calibration file '.cache/calibration/koch/main_leader.json'
+```
+
+*Verifying Calibration*
+
+Once calibration is complete, you can check the positions of the leader and follower arms to ensure they match. If the calibration was successful, the positions should be very similar.
+
+Run this code to get the positions in degrees:
+```python
+leader_pos = robot.leader_arms["main"].read("Present_Position")
+follower_pos = robot.follower_arms["main"].read("Present_Position")
+
+print(leader_pos)
+print(follower_pos)
+```
+
+Example output:
+```
+array([-0.43945312, 133.94531, 179.82422, -18.984375, -1.9335938, 34.541016], dtype=float32)
+array([-0.58723712, 131.72314, 174.98743, -16.872612, 0.786213, 35.271973], dtype=float32)
+```
+
+These values are in degrees, which makes them easier to interpret and debug. The zero position used during calibration should roughly correspond to 0 degrees for each motor, and the rotated position should roughly correspond to 90 degrees for each motor.
+
+**Teleoperate your Koch v1.1**
+
+You can easily teleoperate your robot by reading the positions from the leader arm and sending them as goal positions to the follower arm.
+
+To teleoperate your robot for 30 seconds at a frequency of approximately 200Hz, run the following code:
+```python
+import tqdm
+seconds = 30
+frequency = 200
+for _ in tqdm.tqdm(range(seconds*frequency)):
+    leader_pos = robot.leader_arms["main"].read("Present_Position")
+    robot.follower_arms["main"].write("Goal_Position", leader_pos)
+```
+
+*Using `teleop_step` for Teleoperation*
+
+Alternatively, you can teleoperate the robot using the `teleop_step` method from [`ManipulatorRobot`](../lerobot/common/robot_devices/robots/manipulator.py).
+
+Run this code to teleoperate:
+```python
+for _ in tqdm.tqdm(range(seconds*frequency)):
+    robot.teleop_step()
+```
+
+*Recording data during Teleoperation*
+
+Teleoperation is particularly useful for recording data. You can use the `teleop_step(record_data=True)` to returns both the follower arm's position as `"observation.state"` and the leader arm's position as `"action"`. This function also converts the numpy arrays into PyTorch tensors. If you're working with a robot that has two leader and two follower arms (like the Aloha), the positions are concatenated.
+
+Run the following code to see how slowly moving the leader arm affects the observation and action:
+```python
+leader_pos = robot.leader_arms["main"].read("Present_Position")
+follower_pos = robot.follower_arms["main"].read("Present_Position")
+observation, action = robot.teleop_step(record_data=True)
+
+print(follower_pos)
+print(observation)
+print(leader_pos)
+print(action)
+```
+
+Expected output:
+```
+array([7.8223, 131.1328, 165.5859, -23.4668, -0.9668, 32.4316], dtype=float32)
+{'observation.state': tensor([7.8223, 131.1328, 165.5859, -23.4668, -0.9668, 32.4316])}
+array([3.4277, 134.1211, 179.8242, -18.5449, -1.5820, 34.7168], dtype=float32)
+{'action': tensor([3.4277, 134.1211, 179.8242, -18.5449, -1.5820, 34.7168])}
+```
+
+*Asynchronous Frame Recording*
+
+Additionally, `teleop_step` can asynchronously record frames from multiple cameras and include them in the observation dictionary as `"observation.images.CAMERA_NAME"`. This feature will be covered in more detail in the next section.
+
+*Disconnecting the Robot*
+
+When you're finished, make sure to disconnect your robot by running:
+```python
+robot.disconnect()
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can unplug the power cord, which will also disable torque.
+
+*/!\ Warning*: These motors tend to overheat, especially under torque or if left plugged in for too long. Unplug after use.
+
+### c. Add your cameras with OpenCVCamera
+
+**(Optional) Use your phone as camera on 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.
+
+**(Optional) Use your iPhone as a camera on MacOS**
+
+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.
+
+**Instantiate an 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.
+
+Finally, run this code to instantiate and connect your camera:
+```python
+from lerobot.common.robot_devices.cameras.configs import OpenCVCameraConfig
+from lerobot.common.robot_devices.cameras.opencv import OpenCVCamera
+
+config = OpenCVCameraConfig(camera_index=0)
+camera = OpenCVCamera(config)
+camera.connect()
+color_image = camera.read()
+
+print(color_image.shape)
+print(color_image.dtype)
+```
+
+Expected output for a laptop camera on MacBookPro:
+```
+(1080, 1920, 3)
+uint8
+```
+
+Or like this if you followed our tutorial to set a virtual camera:
+```
+(480, 640, 3)
+uint8
+```
+
+With certain camera, you can also specify additional parameters like frame rate, resolution, and color mode during instantiation. For instance:
+```python
+config = OpenCVCameraConfig(camera_index=0, fps=30, width=640, height=480)
+```
+
+If the provided arguments are not compatible with the camera, an exception will be raised.
+
+*Disconnecting the camera*
+
+When you're done using the camera, disconnect it by running:
+```python
+camera.disconnect()
+```
+
+**Instantiate your robot with cameras**
+
+Additionally, you can set up your robot to work with your cameras.
+
+Modify the following Python code with the appropriate camera names and configurations:
+```python
+robot = ManipulatorRobot(
+    KochRobotConfig(
+        leader_arms={"main": leader_arm},
+        follower_arms={"main": follower_arm},
+        calibration_dir=".cache/calibration/koch",
+        cameras={
+            "laptop": OpenCVCameraConfig(0, fps=30, width=640, height=480),
+            "phone": OpenCVCameraConfig(1, fps=30, width=640, height=480),
+        },
+    )
+)
+robot.connect()
+```
+
+As a result, `teleop_step(record_data=True` will return a frame for each camera following the pytorch "channel first" convention but we keep images in `uint8` with pixels in range [0,255] to easily save them.
+
+Modify this code with the names of your cameras and run it:
+```python
+observation, action = robot.teleop_step(record_data=True)
+print(observation["observation.images.laptop"].shape)
+print(observation["observation.images.phone"].shape)
+print(observation["observation.images.laptop"].min().item())
+print(observation["observation.images.laptop"].max().item())
+```
+
+The output should look like this:
+```
+torch.Size([3, 480, 640])
+torch.Size([3, 480, 640])
+0
+255
+```
+
+### d. Use `control_robot.py` and our `teleoperate` function
+
+Instead of manually running the python code in a terminal window, you can use [`lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py`](../lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py) to instantiate your robot by providing the robot configurations via command line and control your robot with various modes as explained next.
+
+Try running this code to teleoperate your robot (if you dont have a camera, keep reading):
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=koch \
+  --control.type=teleoperate
+```
+
+You will see a lot of lines appearing like this one:
+```
+INFO 2024-08-10 11:15:03 ol_robot.py:209 dt: 5.12 (195.1hz) dtRlead: 4.93 (203.0hz) dtWfoll: 0.19 (5239.0hz)
+```
+
+It contains
+- `2024-08-10 11:15:03` which is the date and time of the call to the print function.
+- `ol_robot.py:209` which is the end of the file name and the line number where the print function is called  (`lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py` line `209`).
+- `dt: 5.12 (195.1hz)` which is the "delta time" or the number of milliseconds spent between the previous call to `robot.teleop_step()` and the current one, associated with the frequency (5.12 ms equals 195.1 Hz) ; note that you can control the maximum frequency by adding fps as argument such as `--fps 30`.
+- `dtRlead: 4.93 (203.0hz)` which is the number of milliseconds it took to read the position of the leader arm using `leader_arm.read("Present_Position")`.
+- `dtWfoll: 0.22 (4446.9hz)` which is the number of milliseconds it took to set a new goal position for the follower arm using `follower_arm.write("Goal_position", leader_pos)` ; note that writing is done asynchronously so it takes less time than reading.
+
+Importantly: If you don't have any camera, you can remove them dynamically with this [draccus](https://github.com/dlwh/draccus) syntax `--robot.cameras='{}'`:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=koch \
+  --robot.cameras='{}' \
+  --control.type=teleoperate
+```
+
+We advise to create a new yaml file when the command becomes too long.
+
+## 3. Record your Dataset and Visualize it
+
+Using what you've learned previously, you can now easily record a dataset of states and actions for one episode. You can use `busy_wait` to control the speed of teleoperation and record at a fixed `fps` (frame per seconds).
+
+Try this code to record 30 seconds at 60 fps:
+```python
+import time
+from lerobot.scripts.control_robot import busy_wait
+
+record_time_s = 30
+fps = 60
+
+states = []
+actions = []
+for _ in range(record_time_s * fps):
+    start_time = time.perf_counter()
+    observation, action = robot.teleop_step(record_data=True)
+
+    states.append(observation["observation.state"])
+    actions.append(action["action"])
+
+    dt_s = time.perf_counter() - start_time
+    busy_wait(1 / fps - dt_s)
+
+# Note that observation and action are available in RAM, but
+# you could potentially store them on disk with pickle/hdf5 or
+# our optimized format `LeRobotDataset`. More on this next.
+```
+
+Importantly, many utilities are still missing. For instance, if you have cameras, you will need to save the images on disk to not go out of RAM, and to do so in threads to not slow down communication with your robot. Also, you will need to store your data in a format optimized for training and web sharing like [`LeRobotDataset`](../lerobot/common/datasets/lerobot_dataset.py). More on this in the next section.
+
+### a. Use the `record` function
+
+You can use the `record` function from [`lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py`](../lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py) to achieve efficient data recording. It encompasses many recording utilities:
+1. Frames from cameras are saved on disk in threads, and encoded into videos at the end of each episode recording.
+2. Video streams from cameras are displayed in window so that you can verify them.
+3. Data is stored with [`LeRobotDataset`](../lerobot/common/datasets/lerobot_dataset.py) format which is pushed to your Hugging Face page (unless `--control.push_to_hub=false` is provided).
+4. Checkpoints are done 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.
+5. 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).
+6. 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.
+7. Similarly to `teleoperate`, you can also use the command line to override anything.
+
+Before trying `record`, if you want to push your dataset to the hub, 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 ${HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN} --add-to-git-credential
+```
+Also, store your Hugging Face repository name in a variable (e.g. `cadene` or `lerobot`). For instance, run this to use your Hugging Face user name as repository:
+```bash
+HF_USER=$(huggingface-cli whoami | head -n 1)
+echo $HF_USER
+```
+If you don't want to push to hub, use `--control.push_to_hub=false`.
+
+Now run this to record 2 episodes:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=koch \
+  --control.type=record \
+  --control.single_task="Grasp a lego block and put it in the bin." \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/koch_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
+```
+
+
+This will write your dataset locally to `~/.cache/huggingface/lerobot/{repo-id}` (e.g. `data/cadene/koch_test`) and push it on the hub at `https://huggingface.co/datasets/{HF_USER}/{repo-id}`. 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
+
+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.
+
+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 `$DISPLAY` environment variable. See [pynput limitations](https://pynput.readthedocs.io/en/latest/limitations.html#linux).
+
+At the end of data recording, your dataset will be uploaded on your Hugging Face page (e.g. https://huggingface.co/datasets/cadene/koch_test) that you can obtain by running:
+```bash
+echo https://huggingface.co/datasets/${HF_USER}/koch_test
+```
+
+### b. Advice for recording dataset
+
+Once you're comfortable with data recording, it's time to 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.
+
+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.
+
+In the coming months, we plan to release a foundational model for robotics. We anticipate that fine-tuning this model will enhance generalization, reducing the need for strict consistency during data collection.
+
+### c. Visualize all episodes
+
+You can visualize your dataset by running:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/visualize_dataset_html.py \
+  --repo-id ${HF_USER}/koch_test
+```
+
+Note: You might need to add `--local-files-only 1` if your dataset was not uploaded to hugging face hub.
+
+This will launch a local web server that looks like this:
+<div style="text-align:center;">
+  <img src="../media/tutorial/visualize_dataset_html.webp?raw=true" alt="Koch v1.1 leader and follower arms" title="Koch v1.1 leader and follower arms" width="100%">
+</div>
+
+### d. Replay episode on your robot with the `replay` function
+
+A useful feature of [`lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py`](../lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py) is the `replay` function, which allows to replay on your robot any episode that you've recorded or episodes from any dataset out there. This function helps you test the repeatability of your robot's actions and assess transferability across robots of the same model.
+
+To replay the first episode of the dataset you just recorded, run the following command:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=koch \
+  --control.type=replay \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/koch_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).
+
+## 4. Train a policy on your data
+
+### a. Use the `train` script
+
+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=${HF_USER}/koch_test \
+  --policy.type=act \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/act_koch_test \
+  --job_name=act_koch_test \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --wandb.enable=true
+```
+
+Let's explain it:
+1. We provided the dataset as argument with `--dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/koch_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 sates, 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)
+
+### b. (Optional) Upload policy checkpoints to the hub
+
+Once training is done, upload the latest checkpoint with:
+```bash
+huggingface-cli upload ${HF_USER}/act_koch_test \
+  outputs/train/act_koch_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
+```
+
+You can also upload intermediate checkpoints with:
+```bash
+CKPT=010000
+huggingface-cli upload ${HF_USER}/act_koch_test_${CKPT} \
+  outputs/train/act_koch_test/checkpoints/${CKPT}/pretrained_model
+```
+
+## 5. Evaluate your policy
+
+Now that you have a policy checkpoint, you can easily control your robot with it using methods from [`ManipulatorRobot`](../lerobot/common/robot_devices/robots/manipulator.py) and the policy.
+
+Try this code for running inference for 60 seconds at 30 fps:
+```python
+from lerobot.common.policies.act.modeling_act import ACTPolicy
+
+inference_time_s = 60
+fps = 30
+device = "cuda"  # TODO: On Mac, use "mps" or "cpu"
+
+ckpt_path = "outputs/train/act_koch_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model"
+policy = ACTPolicy.from_pretrained(ckpt_path)
+policy.to(device)
+
+for _ in range(inference_time_s * fps):
+    start_time = time.perf_counter()
+
+    # Read the follower state and access the frames from the cameras
+    observation = robot.capture_observation()
+
+    # Convert to pytorch format: channel first and float32 in [0,1]
+    # with batch dimension
+    for name in observation:
+        if "image" in name:
+            observation[name] = observation[name].type(torch.float32) / 255
+            observation[name] = observation[name].permute(2, 0, 1).contiguous()
+        observation[name] = observation[name].unsqueeze(0)
+        observation[name] = observation[name].to(device)
+
+    # Compute the next action with the policy
+    # based on the current observation
+    action = policy.select_action(observation)
+    # Remove batch dimension
+    action = action.squeeze(0)
+    # Move to cpu, if not already the case
+    action = action.to("cpu")
+    # Order the robot to move
+    robot.send_action(action)
+
+    dt_s = time.perf_counter() - start_time
+    busy_wait(1 / fps - dt_s)
+```
+
+### 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 \
+  --robot.type=koch \
+  --control.type=record \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/eval_act_koch_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_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 `--control.policy.path` argument which indicates the path to your policy checkpoint with  (e.g. `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. `${HF_USER}/act_koch_test`).
+2. The name of dataset begins by `eval` to reflect that you are running inference (e.g. `${HF_USER}/eval_act_koch_test`).
+
+### b. Visualize evaluation afterwards
+
+You can then visualize your evaluation dataset by running the same command as before but with the new inference dataset as argument:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/visualize_dataset.py \
+  --repo-id ${HF_USER}/eval_act_koch_test
+```

+This tutorial explains how to use [Stretch 3](https://hello-robot.com/stretch-3-product) with LeRobot.
+
+## Setup
+
+Familiarize yourself with Stretch by following its [tutorials](https://docs.hello-robot.com/0.3/getting_started/hello_robot/) (recommended).
+
+To use LeRobot on Stretch, 3 options are available:
+- [tethered setup](https://docs.hello-robot.com/0.3/getting_started/connecting_to_stretch/#tethered-setup)
+- [untethered setup](https://docs.hello-robot.com/0.3/getting_started/connecting_to_stretch/#untethered-setup)
+- ssh directly into Stretch (you will first need to install and configure openssh-server on stretch using one of the two above setups)
+
+
+## Install LeRobot
+
+On Stretch's CLI, follow these steps:
+
+1. [Install Miniconda](https://docs.anaconda.com/miniconda/#quick-command-line-install):
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/miniconda3
+wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -O ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
+bash ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh -b -u -p ~/miniconda3
+rm ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
+~/miniconda3/bin/conda init bash
+```
+
+2. Comment out these lines in `~/.profile` (this can mess up paths used by conda and ~/.local/bin should already be in your PATH)
+```
+# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
+if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" ] ; then
+    PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
+fi
+```
+
+3. Restart shell or `source ~/.bashrc`
+
+4. Create and activate a fresh conda environment for lerobot
+```bash
+conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.10 && conda activate lerobot
+```
+
+5. Clone LeRobot:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git ~/lerobot
+```
+
+6. When using `miniconda`, install `ffmpeg` in your environment:
+```bash
+conda install ffmpeg -c conda-forge
+```
+
+7. Install LeRobot with stretch dependencies:
+```bash
+cd ~/lerobot && pip install -e ".[stretch]"
+```
+
+> **Note:** If you get this message, you can ignore it: `ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed.`
+
+8. Run a [system check](https://docs.hello-robot.com/0.3/getting_started/stretch_hardware_overview/#system-check) to make sure your robot is ready:
+```bash
+stretch_system_check.py
+```
+
+> **Note:** You may need to free the "robot process" after booting Stretch by running `stretch_free_robot_process.py`. For more info this Stretch's [doc](https://docs.hello-robot.com/0.3/getting_started/stretch_hardware_overview/#turning-off-gamepad-teleoperation).
+
+You should get something like this:
+```bash
+For use with S T R E T C H (R) from Hello Robot Inc.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Model = Stretch 3
+Tool = DexWrist 3 w/ Gripper
+Serial Number = stretch-se3-3054
+
+---- Checking Hardware ----
+[Pass] Comms are ready
+[Pass] Actuators are ready
+[Warn] Sensors not ready (IMU AZ = -10.19 out of range -10.1 to -9.5)

+[Pass] All APT pkgs are setup correctly
+[Pass] Firmware is up-to-date
+[Pass] Python pkgs are up-to-date
+[Pass] ROS2 Humble is ready
+```
+
+## Teleoperate, record a dataset and run a policy
+
+**Calibrate (Optional)**
+Before operating Stretch, you need to [home](https://docs.hello-robot.com/0.3/getting_started/stretch_hardware_overview/#homing) it first. Be mindful about giving Stretch some space as this procedure will move the robot's arm and gripper. Now run this command:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+    --robot.type=stretch \
+    --control.type=calibrate
+```
+This is equivalent to running `stretch_robot_home.py`
+
+> **Note:** If you run any of the LeRobot scripts below and Stretch is not properly homed, it will automatically home/calibrate first.
+
+**Teleoperate**
+Before trying teleoperation, you need to activate the gamepad controller by pressing the middle button. For more info, see Stretch's [doc](https://docs.hello-robot.com/0.3/getting_started/hello_robot/#gamepad-teleoperation).
+
+Now try out teleoperation (see above documentation to learn about the gamepad controls):
+
+> **NOTE:** To visualize the data, enable `--control.display_data=true`. This streams the data using `rerun`.
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+    --robot.type=stretch \
+    --control.type=teleoperate
+```
+This is essentially the same as running `stretch_gamepad_teleop.py`
+
+**Record a dataset**
+Once you're familiar with the gamepad controls and after a bit of practice, you can try to record your first dataset with Stretch.
+
+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 $HF_USER
+```
+
+Record one episode:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=stretch \
+  --control.type=record \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.single_task="Grasp a lego block and put it in the bin." \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/stretch_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:** If you're using ssh to connect to Stretch and run this script, you won't be able to visualize its cameras feed (though they will still be recording). To see the cameras stream, use [tethered](https://docs.hello-robot.com/0.3/getting_started/connecting_to_stretch/#tethered-setup) or [untethered setup](https://docs.hello-robot.com/0.3/getting_started/connecting_to_stretch/#untethered-setup).
+
+**Replay an episode**
+Now try to replay this episode (make sure the robot's initial position is the same):
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=stretch \
+  --control.type=replay \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/stretch_test \
+  --control.episode=0
+```
+
+Follow [previous tutorial](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/7_get_started_with_real_robot.md#4-train-a-policy-on-your-data) to train a policy on your data and run inference on your robot. You will need to adapt the code for Stretch.

+This tutorial explains how to use [Aloha and Aloha 2 stationary](https://www.trossenrobotics.com/aloha-stationary) with LeRobot.
+
+## Setup
+
+Follow the [documentation from Trossen Robotics](https://docs.trossenrobotics.com/aloha_docs/2.0/getting_started/stationary/hardware_setup.html) for setting up the hardware and plugging the 4 arms and 4 cameras to your computer.
+
+
+## Install LeRobot
+
+On your computer:
+
+1. [Install Miniconda](https://docs.anaconda.com/miniconda/#quick-command-line-install):
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/miniconda3
+wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -O ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
+bash ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh -b -u -p ~/miniconda3
+rm ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
+~/miniconda3/bin/conda init bash
+```
+
+2. Restart shell or `source ~/.bashrc`
+
+3. Create and activate a fresh conda environment for lerobot
+```bash
+conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.10 && conda activate lerobot
+```
+
+4. Clone LeRobot:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git ~/lerobot
+```
+
+5. When using `miniconda`, install `ffmpeg` in your environment:
+```bash
+conda install ffmpeg -c conda-forge
+```
+
+6. Install LeRobot with dependencies for the Aloha motors (dynamixel) and cameras (intelrealsense):
+```bash
+cd ~/lerobot && pip install -e ".[dynamixel, intelrealsense]"
+```
+
+## Teleoperate
+
+**/!\ FOR SAFETY, READ THIS /!\**
+Teleoperation consists in manually operating the leader arms to move the follower arms. Importantly:
+1. Make sure your leader arms are in the same position as the follower arms, so that the follower arms don't move too fast to match the leader arms,
+2. Our code assumes that your robot has been assembled following Trossen Robotics instructions. This allows us to skip calibration, as we use the pre-defined calibration files in `.cache/calibration/aloha_default`. If you replace a motor, make sure you follow the exact instructions from Trossen Robotics.
+
+By running the following code, you can start your first **SAFE** teleoperation:
+
+> **NOTE:** To visualize the data, enable `--control.display_data=true`. This streams the data using `rerun`.
+
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=aloha \
+  --robot.max_relative_target=5 \
+  --control.type=teleoperate
+```
+
+By adding `--robot.max_relative_target=5`, we override the default value for `max_relative_target` defined in [`AlohaRobotConfig`](lerobot/common/robot_devices/robots/configs.py). It is expected to be `5` to limit the magnitude of the movement for more safety, but the teleoperation won't be smooth. When you feel confident, you can disable this limit by adding `--robot.max_relative_target=null` to the command line:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=aloha \
+  --robot.max_relative_target=null \
+  --control.type=teleoperate
+```
+
+## Record a dataset
+
+Once you're familiar with teleoperation, you can record your first dataset with Aloha.
+
+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 $HF_USER
+```
+
+Record 2 episodes and upload your dataset to the hub:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=aloha \
+  --robot.max_relative_target=null \
+  --control.type=record \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.single_task="Grasp a lego block and put it in the bin." \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/aloha_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
+```
+
+## 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}/aloha_test
+```
+
+If you didn't upload with `--control.push_to_hub=false`, you can also visualize it locally with:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/visualize_dataset_html.py \
+  --repo-id ${HF_USER}/aloha_test
+```
+
+## Replay an episode
+
+**/!\ FOR SAFETY, READ THIS /!\**
+Replay consists in automatically replaying the sequence of actions (i.e. goal positions for your motors) recorded in a given dataset episode. Make sure the current initial position of your robot is similar to the one in your episode, so that your follower arms don't move too fast to go to the first goal positions. For safety, you might want to add `--robot.max_relative_target=5` to your command line as explained above.
+
+Now try to replay the first episode on your robot:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/control_robot.py \
+  --robot.type=aloha \
+  --robot.max_relative_target=null \
+  --control.type=replay \
+  --control.fps=30 \
+  --control.repo_id=${HF_USER}/aloha_test \
+  --control.episode=0
+```
+
+## 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=${HF_USER}/aloha_test \
+  --policy.type=act \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/act_aloha_test \
+  --job_name=act_aloha_test \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --wandb.enable=true
+```
+
+Let's explain it:
+1. We provided the dataset as argument with `--dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/aloha_test`.
+2. We provided the policy with `policy.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 \
+  --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=${HF_USER}/eval_act_aloha_test \
+  --control.tags='["tutorial"]' \
+  --control.warmup_time_s=5 \
+  --control.episode_time_s=30 \
+  --control.reset_time_s=30 \
+  --control.num_episodes=10 \
+  --control.push_to_hub=true \
+  --control.policy.path=outputs/train/act_aloha_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model \
+  --control.num_image_writer_processes=1
+```
+
+As you can see, it's almost the same command as previously used to record your training dataset. Two things changed:
+1. There is an additional `--control.policy.path` argument which indicates the path to your policy checkpoint with  (e.g. `outputs/train/eval_act_aloha_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model`). You can also use the model repository if you uploaded a model checkpoint to the hub (e.g. `${HF_USER}/act_aloha_test`).
+2. The name of dataset begins by `eval` to reflect that you are running inference (e.g. `${HF_USER}/eval_act_aloha_test`).
+3. We use `--control.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 constant 30 fps during inference. Feel free to explore different values for `--control.num_image_writer_processes`.

+This file contains lists of available environments, dataset and policies to reflect the current state of LeRobot library.
+We do not want to import all the dependencies, but instead we keep it lightweight to ensure fast access to these variables.
+
+Example:
+    ```python
+        import lerobot
+        print(lerobot.available_envs)
+        print(lerobot.available_tasks_per_env)
+        print(lerobot.available_datasets)
+        print(lerobot.available_datasets_per_env)
+        print(lerobot.available_real_world_datasets)
+        print(lerobot.available_policies)
+        print(lerobot.available_policies_per_env)
+        print(lerobot.available_robots)
+        print(lerobot.available_cameras)
+        print(lerobot.available_motors)
+    ```
+
+When implementing a new dataset loadable with LeRobotDataset follow these steps:
+- Update `available_datasets_per_env` in `lerobot/__init__.py`
+
+When implementing a new environment (e.g. `gym_aloha`), follow these steps:
+- Update `available_tasks_per_env` and `available_datasets_per_env` in `lerobot/__init__.py`
+
+When implementing a new policy class (e.g. `DiffusionPolicy`) follow these steps:
+- Update `available_policies` and `available_policies_per_env`, in `lerobot/__init__.py`
+- Set the required `name` class attribute.
+- Update variables in `tests/test_available.py` by importing your new Policy class

+This script will help you convert any LeRobot dataset already pushed to the hub from codebase version 1.6 to
+2.0. You will be required to provide the 'tasks', which is a short but accurate description in plain English
+for each of the task performed in the dataset. This will allow to easily train models with task-conditioning.
+
+We support 3 different scenarios for these tasks (see instructions below):
+    1. Single task dataset: all episodes of your dataset have the same single task.
+    2. Single task episodes: the episodes of your dataset each contain a single task but they can differ from
+      one episode to the next.
+    3. Multi task episodes: episodes of your dataset may each contain several different tasks.
+
+
+Can you can also provide a robot config .yaml file (not mandatory) to this script via the option
+'--robot-config' so that it writes information about the robot (robot type, motors names) this dataset was
+recorded with. For now, only Aloha/Koch type robots are supported with this option.
+
+
+# 1. Single task dataset
+If your dataset contains a single task, you can simply provide it directly via the CLI with the
+'--single-task' option.
+
+Examples:
+
+```bash
+python lerobot/common/datasets/v2/convert_dataset_v1_to_v2.py \
+    --repo-id lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human_image \
+    --single-task "Insert the peg into the socket." \
+    --robot-config lerobot/configs/robot/aloha.yaml \
+    --local-dir data
+```
+
+```bash
+python lerobot/common/datasets/v2/convert_dataset_v1_to_v2.py \
+    --repo-id aliberts/koch_tutorial \
+    --single-task "Pick the Lego block and drop it in the box on the right." \
+    --robot-config lerobot/configs/robot/koch.yaml \
+    --local-dir data
+```
+
+
+# 2. Single task episodes
+If your dataset is a multi-task dataset, you have two options to provide the tasks to this script:
+
+- If your dataset already contains a language instruction column in its parquet file, you can simply provide
+  this column's name with the '--tasks-col' arg.
+
+    Example:
+
+    ```bash
+    python lerobot/common/datasets/v2/convert_dataset_v1_to_v2.py \
+        --repo-id lerobot/stanford_kuka_multimodal_dataset \
+        --tasks-col "language_instruction" \
+        --local-dir data
+    ```
+
+- If your dataset doesn't contain a language instruction, you should provide the path to a .json file with the
+  '--tasks-path' arg. This file should have the following structure where keys correspond to each
+  episode_index in the dataset, and values are the language instruction for that episode.
+
+    Example:
+
+    ```json
+    {
+        "0": "Do something",
+        "1": "Do something else",
+        "2": "Do something",
+        "3": "Go there",
+        ...
+    }
+    ```
+
+# 3. Multi task episodes
+If you have multiple tasks per episodes, your dataset should contain a language instruction column in its
+parquet file, and you must provide this column's name with the '--tasks-col' arg.
+
+Example:
+
+```bash
+python lerobot/common/datasets/v2/convert_dataset_v1_to_v2.py \
+    --repo-id lerobot/stanford_kuka_multimodal_dataset \
+    --tasks-col "language_instruction" \
+    --local-dir data
+```

+This script will help you convert any LeRobot dataset already pushed to the hub from codebase version 2.0 to
+2.1. It will:
+
+- Generate per-episodes stats and writes them in `episodes_stats.jsonl`
+- Check consistency between these new stats and the old ones.
+- Remove the deprecated `stats.json`.
+- Update codebase_version in `info.json`.
+- Push this new version to the hub on the 'main' branch and tags it with "v2.1".
