Refactor SACObservationEncoder to improve modularity and readability. Split initialization into dedicated methods for image and state layers, and enhance caching logic for image features. Update forward method to streamline feature encoding and ensure proper normalization handling.

Refactor SACPolicy initialization by breaking down the constructor into smaller methods for normalization, encoders, critics, actor, and temperature setup. This enhances readability and maintainability.
Refactor input and output normalization handling in SACPolicy for improved clarity and efficiency. Consolidate encoder initialization logic and remove redundant else statements.

-# 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.

-# Cameras
-
-LeRobot offers multiple options for video capture, including phone cameras, built-in laptop cameras, external webcams, and Intel RealSense cameras. To efficiently record frames from most cameras, you can use either the `OpenCVCamera` or `RealSenseCamera` class. For additional compatibility details on the `OpenCVCamera` class, refer to the [Video I/O with OpenCV Overview](https://docs.opencv.org/4.x/d0/da7/videoio_overview.html).
-
-### Finding your camera
-
-To instantiate a camera, you need a camera identifier. This identifier might change if you reboot your computer or re-plug your camera, a behavior mostly dependant on your operating system.
-
-To find the camera indices of the cameras plugged into your system, run the following script:
-```bash
-python lerobot/find_cameras.py opencv # or realsense for Intel Realsense cameras
-```
-
-The output will look something like this if you have two cameras connected:
-```
--- Detected Cameras ---
-Camera #0:
-  Name: OpenCV Camera @ 0
-  Type: OpenCV
-  Id: 0
-  Backend api: AVFOUNDATION
-  Default stream profile:
-    Format: 16.0
-    Width: 1920
-    Height: 1080
-    Fps: 15.0
--------------------
-(more cameras ...)
-```
-
-> [!WARNING]
-> When using Intel RealSense cameras in `macOS`, you could get this [error](https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/issues/12307): `Error finding RealSense cameras: failed to set power state`, this can be solved by running the same command with `sudo` permissions. Note that using RealSense cameras in `macOS` is unstable.

-## 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.

-# Getting Started with Real-World Robots
-
-This tutorial will explain how to train a neural network to control a real robot autonomously.
-
-**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, such as picking up a Lego block and placing it in a bin with a high success rate, as shown in the video below.
-
-<details>

-  </video>
-</div>
-
-</details>
-
-This tutorial isn’t tied to a specific robot: we walk you through the commands and API snippets you can adapt for any supported platform.
-
-During data collection, you’ll use a “teloperation” device, such as a leader arm or keyboard to teleoperate the robot and record its motion trajectories.
-
-Once you’ve gathered enough trajectories, you’ll train a neural network to imitate these trajectories and deploy the trained model so your robot can perform the task autonomously.
-
-If you run into any issues at any point, jump into our [Discord community](https://discord.com/invite/s3KuuzsPFb) for support.
-
-## Set up and Calibrate
-
-If you haven't yet set up and calibrated your robot and teleop device, please do so by following the robot-specific tutorial.
-
-## Teleoperate
-
-In this example, we’ll demonstrate how to teleoperate the SO101 robot. For each command, we also provide a corresponding API example.
-
-Note that the `id` associated with a robot is used to store the calibration file. It's important to use the same `id` when teleoperating, recording, and evaluating when using the same setup.
-
-<hfoptions id="teleoperate_so101">
-<hfoption id="Command">
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.teleoperate \
-    --robot.type=so101_follower \
-    --robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431541 \
-    --robot.id=my_awesome_follower_arm \
-    --teleop.type=so101_leader \
-    --teleop.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431551 \
-    --teleop.id=my_awesome_leader_arm
-```
-</hfoption>
-<hfoption id="API example">
-```python
-from lerobot.common.teleoperators.so101_leader import SO101LeaderConfig, SO101Leader
-from lerobot.common.robots.so101_follower import SO101FollowerConfig, SO101Follower
-
-robot_config = SO101FollowerConfig(
-    port="/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431541",
-    id="my_red_robot_arm",
-)
-
-teleop_config = SO101LeaderConfig(
-    port="/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431551",
-    id="my_blue_leader_arm",
-)
-
-robot = SO101Follower(robot_config)
-teleop_device = SO101Leader(teleop_config)
-robot.connect()
-teleop_device.connect()
-
-while True:
-    action = teleop_device.get_action()
-    robot.send_action(action)
-```
-</hfoption>
-</hfoptions>
-
-The teleoperate command will automatically:
-1. Identify any missing calibrations and initiate the calibration procedure.
-2. Connect the robot and teleop device and start teleoperation.
-
-## Cameras
-
-To add cameras to your setup, follow this [Guide](./cameras#setup-cameras).
-
-## Teleoperate with cameras
-
-With `rerun`, you can teleoperate again while simultaneously visualizing the camera feeds and joint positions. In this example, we’re using the Koch arm.
-
-<hfoptions id="teleoperate_koch_camera">
-<hfoption id="Command">
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.teleoperate \
-    --robot.type=koch_follower \
-    --robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431541 \

-    --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 1920, height: 1080, fps: 30}}" \
-    --teleop.type=koch_leader \
-    --teleop.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431551 \
-    --teleop.id=my_awesome_leader_arm \
-    --display_data=true
-```
-</hfoption>
-<hfoption id="API example">
-```python
-from lerobot.common.cameras.opencv.configuration_opencv import OpenCVCameraConfig
-from lerobot.common.teleoperators.koch_leader import KochLeaderConfig, KochLeader
-from lerobot.common.robots.koch_follower import KochFollowerConfig, KochFollower
-
-camera_config = {
-    "front": OpenCVCameraConfig(index_or_path=0, width=1920, height=1080, fps=30)
-}
-
-robot_config = KochFollowerConfig(
-    port="/dev/tty.usbmodem585A0076841",
-    id="my_red_robot_arm",
-    cameras=camera_config
-)
-
-teleop_config = KochLeaderConfig(
-    port="/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431551",
-    id="my_blue_leader_arm",
-)
-
-robot = KochFollower(robot_config)
-teleop_device = KochLeader(teleop_config)
-robot.connect()
-teleop_device.connect()
-
-while True:
-    observation = robot.get_observation()
-    action = teleop_device.get_action()
-    robot.send_action(action)
-```
-</hfoption>
-</hfoptions>
-
-## Record a dataset
-
-Once you're familiar with teleoperation, you can record your first dataset.
-
-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 $HF_USER
-```
-
-Now you can record a dataset. To record 2 episodes and upload your dataset to the hub, execute this command tailored to the SO101.
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.record \
-    --robot.type=so101_follower \
-    --robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem585A0076841 \
-    --robot.id=my_awesome_follower_arm \
-    --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 1920, height: 1080, fps: 30}}" \
-    --teleop.type=so101_leader \
-    --teleop.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431551 \
-    --teleop.id=my_awesome_leader_arm \
-    --display_data=true \
-    --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/record-test \
-    --dataset.num_episodes=2 \
-    --dataset.single_task="Grab the black cube"
-```
-
-#### Dataset upload
-Locally, your dataset is stored in this folder: `~/.cache/huggingface/lerobot/{repo-id}`. 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. Data Storage
- Data is stored using the `LeRobotDataset` format and is stored on disk during recording.
- By default, the dataset is pushed to your Hugging Face page after recording.
-  - To disable uploading, use `--dataset.push_to_hub=False`.
-
-##### 2. 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.
-
-##### 3. Recording Parameters
-Set the flow of data recording using command-line arguments:
- `--dataset.episode_time_s=60`
-  Duration of each data recording episode (default: **60 seconds**).
- `--dataset.reset_time_s=60`
-  Duration for resetting the environment after each episode (default: **60 seconds**).
- `--dataset.num_episodes=50`
-  Total number of episodes to record (default: **50**).
-
-##### 4. 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.
-
-If you want to dive deeper into this important topic, you can check out the [blog post](https://huggingface.co/blog/lerobot-datasets#what-makes-a-good-dataset) we wrote on what makes a good dataset.
-
-
-#### 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 ${HF_USER}/so101_test
-```
-
-## Replay an episode
-
-A useful feature is the `replay` function, which allows you to replay any episode that you've recorded or episodes from any dataset out there. This function helps you test the repeatability of your robot's actions and assess transferability across robots of the same model.
-
-You can replay the first episode on your robot with:
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.replay \
-    --robot.type=so101_follower \
-    --robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431541 \
-    --robot.id=my_awesome_follower_arm \
-    --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/record-test \
-    --dataset.episode=0 # choose the episode you want to replay
-```
-
-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/${CKPT}/pretrained_model
-```
-
-## Evaluate your policy
-
-You can use the `record` script from [`lerobot/record.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/lerobot/record.py) but with a policy checkpoint as input. For instance, run this command to record 10 evaluation episodes:
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.record  \
-  --robot.type=so100_follower \
-  --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM1 \
-  --robot.cameras="{ up: {type: opencv, index_or_path: /dev/video10, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}, side: {type: intelrealsense, serial_number_or_name: 233522074606, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
-  --robot.id=my_awesome_follower_arm \
-  --teleop.type=so100_leader \
-  --teleop.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
-  --teleop.id=my_awesome_leader_arm \
-  --display_data=false \
-  --dataset.repo_id=$HF_USER/eval_so100 \
-  --dataset.single_task="Put lego brick into the transparent box" \
-  --policy.path=${HF_USER}/my_policy
-```
-
-As you can see, it's almost the same command as previously used to record your training dataset. Two things changed:
-1. There is an additional `--control.policy.path` argument which indicates the path to your policy checkpoint with  (e.g. `outputs/train/eval_act_so101_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model`). You can also use the model repository if you uploaded a model checkpoint to the hub (e.g. `${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`).

-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]_ If you want to bring your own ffmpeg: 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 .
-```
-
-### Troubleshooting
-If you encounter build errors, you may need to install additional dependencies: `cmake`, `build-essential`, and `ffmpeg libs`.
-To install these for linux run:
-```bash
-sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential python-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)
-
-## Optional dependencies
-
-LeRobot provides optional extras for specific functionalities. Multiple extras can be combined (e.g., `.[aloha,feetech]`). For all available extras, refer to `pyproject.toml`.
-
-### Simulations
-Install environment packages: `aloha` ([gym-aloha](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-aloha)), `xarm` ([gym-xarm](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-xarm)), or `pusht` ([gym-pusht](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-pusht))
-Example:
-```bash
-pip install -e ".[aloha]" # or "[pusht]" for example
-```
-
-### Motor Control
-For Koch v1.1 install the Dynamixel SDK, for SO100/SO101/Moss install the Feetech SDK.
-```bash
-pip install -e ".[feetech]" # or "[dynamixel]" for example
-```
-
-### Experiment Tracking
-To use [Weights and Biases](https://docs.wandb.ai/quickstart) for experiment tracking, log in with
-```bash
-wandb login

+
+## 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:
+```python
+@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",  <-- 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"],
+                },
+            ),
+        }
+    )
+```
+
+### 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

+  </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. This calibration is essential because it allows a neural network trained on one SO-100 robot to work on another.
+
+#### a. Manual calibration of follower arm
+
+> [!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                                                                                                                                             |

+
+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"]'
+```
+
+#### b. Manual calibration of leader arm
+Follow step 6 of the [assembly video](https://youtu.be/FioA2oeFZ5I?t=724) 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/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 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 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`.
+
+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 needs 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 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`.
+
+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 steps 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.
+```
+
+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.
+```
+
+Troubleshooting: On Linux, you might need to give access to the USB ports by running:

+
+#### 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 limitated. 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 use 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                                                                                                                                        |

+
+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 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`.
+
+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`).

+# Training a HIL-SERL Reward Classifier with LeRobot
+
+This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for training a reward classifier using LeRobot.
+
+---
+
+## Training Script Overview
+
+LeRobot includes a ready-to-use training script located at [`lerobot/scripts/train_hilserl_classifier.py`](../../lerobot/scripts/train_hilserl_classifier.py). Here's an outline of its workflow:
+
+1. **Configuration Loading**
+   The script uses Hydra to load a configuration file for subsequent steps. (Details on Hydra follow below.)
+
+2. **Dataset Initialization**
+   It loads a `LeRobotDataset` containing images and rewards. To optimize performance, a weighted random sampler is used to balance class sampling.
+
+3. **Classifier Initialization**
+   A lightweight classification head is built on top of a frozen, pretrained image encoder from HuggingFace. The classifier outputs either:
+   - A single probability (binary classification), or
+   - Logits (multi-class classification).
+
+4. **Training Loop Execution**
+   The script performs:
+   - Forward and backward passes,
+   - Optimization steps,
+   - Periodic logging, evaluation, and checkpoint saving.
+
+---
+
+## Configuring with Hydra
+
+For detailed information about Hydra usage, refer to [`examples/4_train_policy_with_script.md`](../examples/4_train_policy_with_script.md). However, note that training the reward classifier differs slightly and requires a separate configuration file.
+
+### Config File Setup
+
+The default `default.yaml` cannot launch the reward classifier training directly. Instead, you need a configuration file like [`lerobot/configs/policy/hilserl_classifier.yaml`](../../lerobot/configs/policy/hilserl_classifier.yaml), with the following adjustment:
+
+Replace the `dataset_repo_id` field with the identifier for your dataset, which contains images and sparse rewards:
+
+```yaml
+# Example: lerobot/configs/policy/reward_classifier.yaml
+dataset_repo_id: "my_dataset_repo_id"
+## Typical logs and metrics
+```
+When you start the training process, you will first see your full configuration being printed in the terminal. You can check it to make sure that you config it correctly and your config is not overrided by other files. The final configuration will also be saved with the checkpoint.
+
+After that, you will see training log like this one:
+
+```
+[2024-11-29 18:26:36,999][root][INFO] -
+Epoch 5/5
+Training:  82%|██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████▋                 | 91/111 [00:50<00:09,  2.04it/s, loss=0.2999, acc=69.99%]
+```
+
+or evaluation log like:
+
+```
+Validation: 100%|████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████| 28/28 [00:20<00:00,  1.37it/s]
+```
+
+### Metrics Tracking with Weights & Biases (WandB)
+
+If `wandb.enable` is set to `true`, the training and evaluation logs will also be saved in WandB. This allows you to track key metrics in real-time, including:
+
+- **Training Metrics**:
+  - `train/accuracy`
+  - `train/loss`
+  - `train/dataloading_s`
+- **Evaluation Metrics**:
+  - `eval/accuracy`
+  - `eval/loss`
+  - `eval/eval_s`
+
+#### Additional Features
+
+You can also log sample predictions during evaluation. Each logged sample will include:
+
+- The **input image**.
+- The **predicted label**.
+- The **true label**.
+- The **classifier's "confidence" (logits/probability)**.
+
+These logs can be useful for diagnosing and debugging performance issues.
+
+
+#### Generate protobuf files
+
+```bash
+python -m grpc_tools.protoc \
+    -I lerobot/scripts/server \
+    --python_out=lerobot/scripts/server \
+    --grpc_python_out=lerobot/scripts/server \

+# 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):
+```
+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.
+```
+
+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 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 yo to move to this arbitrary "zero" position. We don't actually "set" the zero position, so you don't need to be accurate. After calculating these "offsets" to shift the motor values around 0, we need to assess the rotation direction of each motor, which might differ. That's why we ask you to rotate all motors to roughly 90 degrees, to 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 connectyour 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
+```

-
-    An OpenCVCamera instance requires a camera index (e.g., 0) or a device path
-    (e.g., '/dev/video0' on Linux). Camera indices can be unstable across reboots
-    or port changes, especially on Linux. Use the provided utility script to find

-    Manages interactions with Intel RealSense cameras for frame and depth recording.
-
-    This class provides an interface similar to `OpenCVCamera` but tailored for
-    RealSense devices, leveraging the `pyrealsense2` library. It uses the camera's
-    unique serial number for identification, offering more stability than device
-    indices, especially on Linux. It also supports capturing depth maps alongside
-    color frames.
-
-    Use the provided utility script to find available camera indices and default profiles:
-    ```bash
-    python -m lerobot.find_cameras realsense
-    ```
-
-    A `RealSenseCamera` instance requires a configuration object specifying the
-    camera's serial number or a unique device name. If using the name, ensure only
-    one camera with that name is connected.
-
-    The camera's default settings (FPS, resolution, color mode) from the stream
-    profile are used unless overridden in the configuration.
-
-    Example:
-        ```python
-        from lerobot.common.cameras.realsense import RealSenseCamera, RealSenseCameraConfig
-        from lerobot.common.cameras import ColorMode, Cv2Rotation
