# LeIsaac × LeRobot EnvHub

LeRobot EnvHub now supports **imitation learning in simulation** with LeIsaac.
Spin up everyday manipulation tasks, teleoperate the robot, collect demos, push them to the Hub, and train policies in LeRobot — all in one loop.

[LeIsaac](https://github.com/LightwheelAI/leisaac) integrates with IsaacLab and the SO101 Leader/Follower setup to provide:

- 🕹️ **Teleoperation-first workflows** for data collection
- 📦 **Built-in data conversion** ready for LeRobot training
- 🤖 **Everyday skills** like picking oranges, lifting cubes, cleaning tables, and folding cloth
- ☁️ **Ongoing upgrades** from [LightWheel](https://lightwheel.ai/): cloud simulation, EnvHub support, Sim2Real tooling, and more

Below you’ll find the currently supported LeIsaac tasks exposed through LeRobot EnvHub.

# Load LeIsaac directly in LeRobot with one line of code

> EnvHub: Share LeIsaac environments through HuggingFace

[EnvHub](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/envhub) is our reproducible environment hub, spin up a packaged simulation with one line, experiment immediately, and publish your own tasks for the community.

LeIsaac offers EnvHub support so you can consume or share tasks with only a few commands.

/>

## How to get started, environment Setup

Run the following commands to setup your code environments:

```bash
# Refer to Getting Started/Installation to install leisaac firstly
conda create -n leisaac_envhub python=3.11
conda activate leisaac_envhub

conda install -c "nvidia/label/cuda-12.8.1" cuda-toolkit
pip install -U torch==2.7.0 torchvision==0.22.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128
pip install 'leisaac[isaaclab] @ git+https://github.com/LightwheelAI/leisaac.git#subdirectory=source/leisaac' --extra-index-url https://pypi.nvidia.com

# Install lerobot
pip install lerobot==0.4.1

# Fix numpy version
pip install numpy==1.26.0
```

## Usage Example

EnvHub exposes every LeIsaac-supported task in a uniform interface. The examples below load `so101_pick_orange` and demonstrate a random-action rollout and an interactive teleoperation.

### Random Action

<details>
<summary>Click to expand code example</summary>

```python
# envhub_random_action.py

import torch
from lerobot.envs.factory import make_env

# Load from the hub
envs_dict = make_env("LightwheelAI/leisaac_env:envs/so101_pick_orange.py", n_envs=1, trust_remote_code=True)

# Access the environment
suite_name = next(iter(envs_dict))
sync_vector_env = envs_dict[suite_name][0]
# retrieve the isaac environment from the sync vector env
env = sync_vector_env.envs[0].unwrapped

# Use it like any gym environment
obs, info = env.reset()

while True:
    action = torch.tensor(env.action_space.sample())
    obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(action)
    if terminated or truncated:
        obs, info = env.reset()

env.close()
```

</details>

```bash
python envhub_random_action.py
```

You should see the SO101 arm swinging under purely random commands.

### Teleoperation

LeRobot’s teleoperation stack can drive the simulated arm.

Connect the SO101 Leader controller, run the calibration command below.

```bash
lerobot-calibrate \
    --teleop.type=so101_leader \
    --teleop.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
    --teleop.id=leader
```

And then launch the teleop script.

Running the script lets you operate the simulated arm using the physical Leader device.

## ☁️ Cloud Simulation (No GPU Required)

Don’t have a local GPU or the right drivers? No problem! You can run LeIsaac entirely in the cloud with zero setup.
LeIsaac works out-of-the-box on **NVIDIA Brev**, giving you a fully configured environment directly in your browser.

👉 **Start here:** [https://lightwheelai.github.io/leisaac/docs/cloud_simulation/nvidia_brev](https://lightwheelai.github.io/leisaac/docs/cloud_simulation/nvidia_brev)

Once your instance is deployed, simply open the link for **port 80 (HTTP)** to launch **Visual Studio Code Server** (default password: `password`). From there, you can run simulations, edit code, and visualize IsaacLab environments — all from your web browser.

**No GPU, no drivers, no local installation. Just click and run.**

## Additional Notes

We keep EnvHub coverage aligned with the LeIsaac task. Currently supported:

- `so101_pick_orange`
- `so101_lift_cube`
- `so101_clean_toytable`
- `bi_so101_fold_cloth`

Switch tasks by targeting a different script when calling `make_env`, for example:

```python
envs_dict_pick_orange = make_env("LightwheelAI/leisaac_env:envs/so101_pick_orange.py", n_envs=1, trust_remote_code=True)
envs_dict_lift_cube = make_env("LightwheelAI/leisaac_env:envs/so101_lift_cube.py", n_envs=1, trust_remote_code=True)
envs_dict_clean_toytable = make_env("LightwheelAI/leisaac_env:envs/so101_clean_toytable.py", n_envs=1, trust_remote_code=True)
envs_dict_fold_cloth = make_env("LightwheelAI/leisaac_env:envs/bi_so101_fold_cloth.py", n_envs=1, trust_remote_code=True)
```

Note: when working with `bi_so101_fold_cloth`, call `initialize()` immediately after retrieving the env before performing any other operations:

<details>
<summary>Click to expand code example</summary>

```python
import torch
from lerobot.envs.factory import make_env

# Load from the hub
envs_dict = make_env("LightwheelAI/leisaac_env:envs/bi_so101_fold_cloth.py", n_envs=1, trust_remote_code=True)

# Access the environment
suite_name = next(iter(envs_dict))
sync_vector_env = envs_dict[suite_name][0]
# retrieve the isaac environment from the sync vector env
env = sync_vector_env.envs[0].unwrapped

# NOTE: initialize() first
env.initialize()

# other operation with env...
```
