* fix multi gpu processor bug
* Fix RTC with delta actions and OpenArms motor_type wiring
* feat: align pi0_fast delta actions with pi0/pi05 and add RTC integration tests
- Add delta_exclude_joints and action_feature_names to PI0FastConfig
- Move to_absolute_actions from modeling to processor pipeline for pi0_fast
- Add delta action detection and logging to eval_with_real_robot.py
- Add delta actions documentation to pi0 and pi05 READMEs
- Fix ruff lint issues in test_delta_actions.py
- Add test_rtc_delta_actions.py (24 tests) covering:
- ActionQueue with delta vs absolute actions
- RTC denoise step with delta leftovers
- Full pipeline roundtrip (delta → RTC → absolute)
- State rebasing approximation bounds
- Non-delta policy compatibility
- Multi-chunk consistency
* chore: clean up test comments, add OpenPI attribution, remove debug logging
- Replace decorative comment separators in test files with plain section headers
- Add attribution comments for 1e-6 epsilon in normalize_processor.py (from OpenPI)
- Remove debug logging blocks from lerobot_train.py
* refactor: extract compute_delta_action_stats into compute_stats.py
Move the ~70-line inline delta action stats block from lerobot_train.py
into a dedicated function in compute_stats.py, where all other stats
computation already lives. The training script now calls it in 6 lines.
* refactor: remove unused get_processed_left_over from ActionQueue
This method was never called outside of tests. Leftover actions for RTC
guidance are always retrieved via get_left_over() (delta/original space).
* revert: remove logging-only changes from eval_with_real_robot.py
The delta actions detection helper and log message added no functional
value — the script already handles delta policies correctly via the
processor pipeline.
* refactor: use ACTION/OBS_STATE constants instead of hardcoded strings
Replace hardcoded "action" and "observation.state" with ACTION and
OBS_STATE from utils.constants in compute_stats.py, dataset_tools.py,
and lerobot_train.py.
* style: remove stray blank lines in training loop
* refactor: move delta action stats to preprocessing step, remove on-the-fly computation
- Remove on-the-fly compute_delta_action_stats from lerobot_train.py
- Rewrite recompute_stats to delegate action stats to compute_delta_action_stats
(chunk-based sampling matching what the model sees during training)
- Add chunk_size parameter to recompute_stats for delta action computation
- Add delta actions documentation to pi0.mdx and pi05.mdx
* feat: add recompute_stats CLI operation to lerobot-edit-dataset
* fix(tests): relax quantile normalization test tolerance for 1e-6 epsilon
* chore: remove agents_memory/pr_details.md from repo
* refactor: rename delta actions to relative actions throughout
What OpenPI calls "DeltaActions" is actually UMI's "relative trajectory"
representation: each action in the chunk is an offset from the current
state, not from the previous action. This avoids error accumulation.
Renamed across all source, tests, docs, and CLI:
- DeltaActionsProcessorStep → RelativeActionsProcessorStep
- to_delta_actions → to_relative_actions
- use_delta_actions → use_relative_actions
- delta_exclude_joints → relative_exclude_joints
- compute_delta_action_stats → compute_relative_action_stats
- delta_action_processor.py → relative_action_processor.py
- test_delta_actions.py → test_relative_actions.py
Kept as-is: AbsoluteActionsProcessorStep (converts TO absolute),
registry ID "delta_actions_processor" (backward compat), and unrelated
delta references (IK pipeline, Robosuite, RA-BC metrics, gym envs).
* docs: add Action Representations guide
Dedicated page explaining absolute, relative, and delta actions with
numerical examples, joint vs EE space, and how to use kinematics
pipelines and the relative action processor. References UMI paper
(Chi et al., 2024) for the terminology.
* docs: remove redundant OpenPI naming note from action representations
* docs: remove opinionated OpenPI reference from delta actions section
* docs: replace ASCII diagram with UMI paper figure
* docs: remove OpenPI reference from action representations
* docs: use HF-hosted image instead of local asset
* docs: clarify figure attribution
* revert: restore original normalization epsilon behavior
The 1e-6 unconditional epsilon change perturbed all normalized values,
breaking backward compatibility tests. The original approach (1e-8 eps
for MEAN_STD, conditional torch.where for QUANTILES) already handles
division by zero correctly without affecting non-degenerate cases.
* fix: restore delta_action_processor.py used by phone/RL teleop
The rename commit incorrectly deleted delta_action_processor.py and
duplicated its classes into relative_action_processor.py. Restore the
original file and import from it instead.
* fix(processor): address PR #2970 review comments
- Remove shebang from relative_action_processor.py (library module, not script)
- Add device alignment in to_relative_actions/to_absolute_actions so _last_state
on CPU doesn't cause cross-device errors when actions are on CUDA
- Rename delta_step → relative_step in AbsoluteActionsProcessorStep for naming
consistency; update factory.py, all processor files, and tests
- Expand _reconnect_relative_absolute_steps docstring to explain why post-hoc
rewiring is needed after deserialization
- Fix off-by-one in compute_stats.py: sample_upper_bound = total_frames - chunk_size + 1
so last valid start index is included and total_frames == chunk_size is not rejected
- Remove redundant NOTE comment in processor_pi05.py (duplicated two lines below)
- Fix pi0_fast processor ordering: move relative_step before NormalizerProcessorStep
so normalizer sees delta actions (matching pi0/pi05); flip postprocessor to
unnormalize → absolute accordingly. Relative stats are now required for all pi models
- Revert use_relative_joint_actions_aloha → use_delta_joint_actions_aloha in
configuration_smolvla.py (preserve existing public API)
- Update action_representations.mdx: add missing joint to 6-DOF example, fix
'based on a figure', clarify pi family ordering, add RTC compatibility section
* update rtc link
* feat: compute relative action stats over full dataset with optional parallelism
Remove the 100k sample cap from compute_relative_action_stats and process
all valid chunks. Vectorize with numpy (pre-load actions/states, fancy
indexing + broadcasting) for a large speedup over the per-index HF dataset
loop. Add num_workers param for thread-based parallelism (numpy releases
the GIL). Update docs to show --push_to_hub for recompute_stats.

* feat(edit-dataset): add CLI support for modify_tasks operation
Integrate the modify_tasks function into lerobot_edit_dataset CLI.
Users can now modify dataset tasks via command line:
Supports setting a default task, per-episode tasks, or both combined.

Add comprehensive test coverage for the modify_tasks utility:
- Single task for all episodes
- Episode-specific task assignment
- Default task with per-episode overrides

* fix(file sizes forwarding): forwarding files and chunk sizes in metadata info when splitting and aggregating datasets
* style fix
* refactor(aggregate): Fix video indexing and timestamp bugs in dataset merging
There were three critical bugs in aggregate.py that prevented correct dataset merging:
1. Video file indices: Changed from += to = assignment to correctly reference
merged video files
2. Video timestamps: Implemented per-source-file offset tracking to maintain
continuous timestamps when merging split datasets (was causing non-monotonic
timestamp warnings)
3. File rotation offsets: Store timestamp offsets after rotation decision to
prevent out-of-bounds frame access (was causing "Invalid frame index" errors
with small file size limits)
Changes:
- Updated update_meta_data() to apply per-source-file timestamp offsets
- Updated aggregate_videos() to track offsets correctly during file rotation
- Added get_video_duration_in_s import for duration calculation
* Improved docs for split dataset and added a check for the possible case that the split size results in zero episodes
* chore(docs): update merge documentation details
