 # Cameras
 
-LeRobot offers multiple options for video capture:
+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).

-> [!TIP]
-> For `OpenCVCamera` compatibility details, see the [Video I/O with OpenCV Overview](https://docs.opencv.org/4.x/d0/da7/videoio_overview.html).
+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.
 
-### Find your camera
-
-Every camera requires a unique identifier to be instantiated, allowing you to distinguish between multiple connected devices.
-
-`OpenCVCamera` and `RealSenseCamera` support auto-discovery. Run the command below to list available devices and their identifiers. Note that these identifiers may change after rebooting your computer or re-plugging the camera, depending on your operating system.
+To find the camera indices of the cameras plugged into your system, run the following script:

-- **Blocking and non-blocking frame capture** using an OpenCV-based camera
+- **Asynchronous frame capture** using an OpenCV-based camera
 - **Color and depth capture** using an Intel RealSense camera
 
-> [!WARNING]
-> Failing to cleanly disconnect cameras can cause resource leaks. Use the context manager protocol to ensure automatic cleanup:
->
-> ```python
-> with OpenCVCamera(config) as camera:
->     ...
-> ```
->
-> You can also call `connect()` and `disconnect()` manually, but always use a `finally` block for the latter.

-# Damiao Motors and CAN Bus
-
-This guide covers setup and usage of Damiao motors with LeRobot via CAN bus communication.
-
-Currently, only Linux is supported, as the OpenArms CAN adapter only has drivers for Linux.
-
-## Linux CAN Setup
-
-Before using Damiao motors, you need to set up the CAN interface on your Linux system.
-
-### Install CAN Utilities
-
-```bash
-sudo apt-get install can-utils
-```
-
-### Configure CAN Interface (Manual)
-
-For standard CAN FD (recommended for OpenArms):
-
-```bash
-sudo ip link set can0 down
-sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 1000000 dbitrate 5000000 fd on
-sudo ip link set can0 up
-```
-
-For standard CAN (without FD):
-
-```bash
-sudo ip link set can0 down
-sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 1000000
-sudo ip link set can0 up
-```
-
-### Configure CAN Interface (Using LeRobot)
-
-LeRobot provides a utility script to setup and test CAN interfaces:
-
-```bash
-# Setup multiple interfaces (e.g., OpenArms Followers with 2 CAN buses)
-lerobot-setup-can --mode=setup --interfaces=can0,can1
-```
-
-## Debugging CAN Communication
-
-Use the built-in debug tools to test motor communication:
-
-```bash
-# Test motors on all interfaces
-lerobot-setup-can --mode=test --interfaces=can0,can1
-
-# Run speed/latency test
-lerobot-setup-can --mode=speed --interfaces=can0
-```
-
-The test mode will scan for motors (IDs 0x01-0x08) and report which ones respond. Example output:
-
-```
-can0: UP (CAN FD)
-  Motor 0x01 (joint_1): ✓ FOUND
-    → Response 0x11 [FD]: 00112233...
-  Motor 0x02 (joint_2): ✓ FOUND
-  Motor 0x03 (joint_3): ✗ No response
-  ...
-  Summary: 2/8 motors found
-```
-
-## Usage
-
-### Basic Setup
-
-```python
-from lerobot.motors import Motor
-from lerobot.motors.damiao import DamiaoMotorsBus
-
-# Define your motors with send/receive CAN IDs
-motors = {
-    "joint_1": Motor(id=0x01, motor_type_str="dm8009", recv_id=0x11),
-    "joint_2": Motor(id=0x02, motor_type_str="dm4340", recv_id=0x12),
-    "joint_3": Motor(id=0x03, motor_type_str="dm4310", recv_id=0x13),
-}
-
-# Create the bus
-bus = DamiaoMotorsBus(
-    port="can0",  # Linux socketcan interface
-    motors=motors,
-)
-
-# Connect
-bus.connect()
-```
-
-### Reading Motor States
-
-```python
-# Read single motor position (degrees)
-position = bus.read("Present_Position", "joint_1")
-
-# Read from multiple motors
-positions = bus.sync_read("Present_Position")  # All motors
-positions = bus.sync_read("Present_Position", ["joint_1", "joint_2"])
-
-# Read all states at once (position, velocity, torque)
-states = bus.sync_read_all_states()
-# Returns: {'joint_1': {'position': 45.2, 'velocity': 1.3, 'torque': 0.5}, ...}
-```
-
-### Writing Motor Commands
-
-```python
-# Enable torque
-bus.enable_torque()
-
-# Set goal position (degrees)
-bus.write("Goal_Position", "joint_1", 45.0)
-
-# Set positions for multiple motors
-bus.sync_write("Goal_Position", {
-    "joint_1": 45.0,
-    "joint_2": -30.0,
-    "joint_3": 90.0,
-})
-
-# Disable torque
-bus.disable_torque()
-```
-
-## Configuration Options
-
-| Parameter      | Default   | Description                                                 |
-| -------------- | --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `port`         | -         | CAN interface (`can0`) or serial port (`/dev/cu.usbmodem*`) |
-| `use_can_fd`   | `True`    | Enable CAN FD for higher data rates                         |
-| `bitrate`      | `1000000` | Nominal bitrate (1 Mbps)                                    |
-| `data_bitrate` | `5000000` | CAN FD data bitrate (5 Mbps)                                |
-
-## Motor Configuration
-
-Each motor requires:
-
-- `id`: CAN ID for sending commands
-- `motor_type`: One of the supported motor types (e.g., `"dm8009"`, `"dm4340"`)
-- `recv_id`: CAN ID for receiving responses
-
-OpenArms default IDs follow the pattern: send ID `0x0N`, receive ID `0x1N` where N is the joint number.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### No Response from Motors
-
-1. **Check power**
-2. **Verify CAN wiring**: Check CAN-H, CAN-L, and GND connections
-3. **Check motor IDs**: Use Damiao Debugging Tools to verify/configure IDs
-4. **Test CAN interface**: Run `candump can0` to see if messages are being received
-5. **Run diagnostics**: `lerobot-setup-can --mode=test --interfaces=can0`
-
-### Motor Timeout Parameter
-
-If motors were configured with timeout=0, they won't respond to commands. Use Damiao Debugging Tools to set a non-zero timeout value.
-
-### Verify CAN FD Status
-
-```bash
-ip -d link show can0 | grep fd
-```

-# Using Subtasks in LeRobot Datasets
-
-Subtask support in robotics datasets has proven effective in improving robot reasoning and understanding. Subtasks are particularly useful for:
-
-- **Hierarchical policies**: Building policies that include subtask predictions to visualize robot reasoning in real time
-- **Reward modeling**: Helping reward models understand task progression (e.g., SARM-style stage-aware reward models)
-- **Task decomposition**: Breaking down complex manipulation tasks into atomic, interpretable steps
-
-LeRobotDataset now supports subtasks as part of its dataset structure, alongside tasks.
-
-## What are Subtasks?
-
-While a **task** describes the overall goal (e.g., "Pick up the apple and place it in the basket"), **subtasks** break down the execution into finer-grained steps:
-
-1. "Approach the apple"
-2. "Grasp the apple"
-3. "Lift the apple"
-4. "Move to basket"
-5. "Release the apple"
-
-Each frame in the dataset can be annotated with its corresponding subtask, enabling models to learn and predict these intermediate stages.

-
-## Dataset Structure
-
-Subtask information is stored in the dataset metadata:
-
-```
-my-dataset/
-├── data/
-│   └── ...
-├── meta/
-│   ├── info.json
-│   ├── stats.json
-│   ├── tasks.parquet
-│   ├── subtasks.parquet      # Subtask index → subtask string mapping
-│   └── episodes/
-│       └── ...
-└── videos/
-    └── ...
-```
-
-### Subtasks Parquet File
-
-The `meta/subtasks.parquet` file maps subtask indices to their natural language descriptions:
-
-| subtask_index | subtask (index column) |
-| ------------- | ---------------------- |
-| 0             | "Approach the apple"   |
-| 1             | "Grasp the apple"      |
-| 2             | "Lift the apple"       |
-| ...           | ...                    |
-
-### Frame-Level Annotations
-
-Each frame in the dataset can include a `subtask_index` field that references the subtasks parquet file:
-
-```python
-# Example frame data in the parquet file
-{
-    "index": 42,
-    "timestamp": 1.4,
-    "episode_index": 0,
-    "task_index": 0,
-    "subtask_index": 2,  # References "Lift the apple"
-    "observation.state": [...],
-    "action": [...],
-}
-```
-
-## Annotating Datasets with Subtasks
-
-We provide a HuggingFace Space for easily annotating any LeRobotDataset with subtasks:
-
-**[https://huggingface.co/spaces/lerobot/annotate](https://huggingface.co/spaces/lerobot/annotate)**
-
-After completing your annotation:
-
-1. Click "Push to Hub" to upload your annotated dataset
-2. You can also run the annotation space locally by following the instructions at [github.com/huggingface/lerobot-annotate](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot-annotate)
-
-## Loading Datasets with Subtasks
-
-When you load a dataset with subtask annotations, the subtask information is automatically available:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
-
-# Load a dataset with subtask annotations
-dataset = LeRobotDataset("jadechoghari/collect-fruit-annotated")
-
-# Access a sample
-sample = dataset[100]
-
-# The sample includes both task and subtask information
-print(sample["task"])        # "Collect the fruit"
-print(sample["subtask"])     # "Grasp the apple"
-print(sample["task_index"])  # tensor(0)
-print(sample["subtask_index"])  # tensor(2)
-```
-
-### Checking for Subtask Support
-
-You can check if a dataset has subtask annotations:
-
-```python
-# Check if subtasks are available
-has_subtasks = (
-    "subtask_index" in dataset.features
-    and dataset.meta.subtasks is not None
-)
-
-if has_subtasks:
-    print(f"Dataset has {len(dataset.meta.subtasks)} unique subtasks")
-    print("Subtasks:", list(dataset.meta.subtasks.index))
-```
-
-## Using Subtasks for Training
-
-### With the Tokenizer Processor
-
-The `TokenizerProcessor` automatically handles subtask tokenization for Vision-Language Action (VLA) models:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.processor.tokenizer_processor import TokenizerProcessor
-from lerobot.processor.pipeline import ProcessorPipeline
-
-# Create a tokenizer processor
-tokenizer_processor = TokenizerProcessor(
-    tokenizer_name_or_path="google/paligemma-3b-pt-224",
-    padding="max_length",
-    max_length=64,
-)
-
-# The processor will automatically tokenize subtasks if present in the batch
-# and add them to the observation under:
-# - "observation.subtask.tokens"
-# - "observation.subtask.attention_mask"
-```
-
-When subtasks are available in the batch, the tokenizer processor adds:
-
-- `observation.subtask.tokens`: Tokenized subtask text
-- `observation.subtask.attention_mask`: Attention mask for the subtask tokens
-
-### DataLoader with Subtasks
-
-```python
-import torch
-from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
-
-dataset = LeRobotDataset("jadechoghari/collect-fruit-annotated")
-
-dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
-    dataset,
-    batch_size=16,
-    shuffle=True,
-)
-
-for batch in dataloader:
-    # Access subtask information in the batch
-    subtasks = batch["subtask"]  # List of subtask strings
-    subtask_indices = batch["subtask_index"]  # Tensor of subtask indices
-
-    # Use for training hierarchical policies or reward models
-    print(f"Batch subtasks: {set(subtasks)}")
-```
-
-## Example Datasets with Subtask Annotations
-
-Try loading a dataset with subtask annotations:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
-
-# Example dataset with subtask annotations
-dataset = LeRobotDataset("jadechoghari/collect-fruit-annotated")
-
-# Explore the subtasks
-print("Available subtasks:")
-for subtask_name in dataset.meta.subtasks.index:
-    print(f"  - {subtask_name}")
-
-# Get subtask distribution
-subtask_counts = {}
-for i in range(len(dataset)):
-    sample = dataset[i]
-    subtask = sample["subtask"]
-    subtask_counts[subtask] = subtask_counts.get(subtask, 0) + 1
-
-print("\nSubtask distribution:")
-for subtask, count in sorted(subtask_counts.items(), key=lambda x: -x[1]):
-    print(f"  {subtask}: {count} frames")
-```
-
-## Use Cases
-
-### 1. Hierarchical Policy Training
-
-Train policies that predict both actions and current subtask:
-
-```python
-class HierarchicalPolicy(nn.Module):
-    def __init__(self, num_subtasks):
-        super().__init__()
-        self.action_head = nn.Linear(hidden_dim, action_dim)
-        self.subtask_head = nn.Linear(hidden_dim, num_subtasks)
-
-    def forward(self, observations):
-        features = self.encoder(observations)
-        actions = self.action_head(features)
-        subtask_logits = self.subtask_head(features)
-        return actions, subtask_logits
-```
-
-### 2. Stage-Aware Reward Modeling (SARM)
-
-Build reward models that understand task progression:
-
-```python
-# SARM predicts:
-# - Stage: Which subtask is being executed (discrete)
-# - Progress: How far along the subtask (continuous 0-1)
-
-class SARMRewardModel(nn.Module):
-    def forward(self, observations):
-        features = self.encoder(observations)
-        stage_logits = self.stage_classifier(features)
-        progress = self.progress_regressor(features)
-        return stage_logits, progress
-```
-
-### 3. Progress Visualization
-
-Monitor robot execution by tracking subtask progression:
-
-```python
-def visualize_execution(model, observations):
-    for t, obs in enumerate(observations):
-        action, subtask_logits = model(obs)
-        predicted_subtask = subtask_names[subtask_logits.argmax()]
-        print(f"t={t}: Executing '{predicted_subtask}'")
-```

-# OpenArm
-
-[OpenArm](https://openarm.dev) is an open-source 7DOF humanoid arm designed for physical AI research and deployment.
-
-To get your OpenArm, assembled or DIY, and join the global community, browse verified and certified manufacturers worldwide at [openarm.dev](https://openarm.dev).
-
-## What's Unique?
-
-- **Human-Scale Design**: OpenArm is designed with human-like proportions, scaled for a person around 160-165cm tall. This provides an optimal balance between practical reach and manageable inertia for safe, responsive operation.
-
-- **Safety-First Architecture**: Built with QDD backdrivable motors and high compliance, OpenArm prioritizes safe human-robot interaction while maintaining practical payload capabilities (6.0kg peak / 4.1kg nominal) for real-world tasks.
-
-- **Built for Durability**: Critical structural components use aluminum and stainless steel construction, ensuring robust performance for repetitive data collection and continuous research use.
-
-- **Fully Accessible & Buildable**: Every component, from CNC parts and 3D-printed casings to electrical wiring is designed to be purchasable and buildable by individual researchers and labs, with complete fabrication data provided.
-
-- **Practical & Affordable**: At $6,500 USD for a complete bimanual system, OpenArm delivers research-grade capabilities at a fraction of traditional humanoid robot costs.
-
-## Platform Requirements
-
-<Tip warning={true}>
-  **Linux Only**: OpenArm currently only works on Linux. The CAN bus USB adapter
-  does not have macOS drivers and has not been tested on Windows.
-</Tip>
-
-## Safety Guide
-
-Before operating OpenArm, please read the [official safety guide](https://docs.openarm.dev/getting-started/safety-guide). Key points:
-
-- **Secure installation**: Fasten the arm to a flat, stable surface with screws or clamps
-- **Safe distance**: Keep body parts and objects outside the range of motion during operation
-- **Protective equipment**: Always wear safety goggles; use additional PPE as needed
-- **Payload limits**: Do not exceed specified payload limits (6.0kg peak / 4.1kg nominal per arm)
-- **Emergency stop**: Know the location and operation of the emergency stop device
-- **Regular inspection**: Check for loose screws, damaged mechanical limits, unusual noises, and wiring damage
-
-## Hardware Setup
-
-Follow the official [OpenArm hardware documentation](https://docs.openarm.dev) for:
-
-- Bill of materials and sourcing
-- 3D printing instructions
-- Mechanical assembly
-- Electrical wiring
-
-The hardware repositories are available at [github.com/enactic/openarm](https://github.com/enactic/openarm).
-
-## CAN Bus Setup

-Mirror a bimanual dataset in parallel with DataTrove + SLURM, then double it.
-
-Workflow:
-1) Split source episodes across `num_shards` ranks and mirror each shard in parallel.
-2) Aggregate mirrored shards into one mirrored dataset.
-3) Aggregate [original, mirrored] into a final doubled dataset.
-
-Example:
-python examples/port_datasets/slurm_mirror_dataset.py \
-  --repo-id=pepijn/openarm_bimanual \
-  --output-repo-id=pepijn/openarm_bimanual_doubled \
