**LeRobot** aims to provide models, datasets, and tools for real-world robotics in PyTorch. The goal is to lower the barrier to entry so that everyone can contribute to and benefit from shared datasets and pretrained models.
🤗 A standardized, scalable LeRobotDataset format (Parquet + MP4 or images) hosted on the Hugging Face Hub, enabling efficient storage, streaming and visualization of massive robotic datasets.
LeRobot provides a unified `Robot` class interface that decouples control logic from hardware specifics. It supports a wide range of robots and teleoperation devices.
While these devices are natively integrated into the LeRobot codebase, the library is designed to be extensible. You can easily implement the Robot interface to utilize LeRobot's data collection, training, and visualization tools for your own custom robot.
LeRobot implements state-of-the-art policies in pure PyTorch, covering Imitation Learning, Reinforcement Learning, and Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, with more coming soon. It also provides you with the tools to instrument and inspect your training process.
Similarly to the hardware, you can easily implement your own policy & leverage LeRobot's data collection, training, and visualization tools, and share your model to the HF Hub
For detailed policy setup guides, see the [Policy Documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/bring_your_own_policies). For GPU/RAM requirements and expected training time per policy, see the [Compute Hardware Guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/hardware_guide).
Evaluate your policies in simulation or on real hardware using the unified evaluation script. LeRobot supports standard benchmarks like **LIBERO**, **MetaWorld** and more to come.
