+# Bring Your Own Policies
+
+This tutorial explains how to integrate your own custom policy implementations into the LeRobot ecosystem, allowing you to leverage all LeRobot tools for training, evaluation, and deployment while using your own algorithms.
+
+## Step 1: Create a Policy Package
+
+Your custom policy should be organized as an installable Python package following LeRobot's plugin conventions.
+
+### Package Structure
+
+Create a package with the prefix `lerobot_policy_` (IMPORTANT!) followed by your policy name:
+
+```bash
+lerobot_policy_my_custom_policy/
+├── pyproject.toml
+└── src/
+    └── lerobot_policy_my_custom_policy/
+        ├── __init__.py
+        ├── configuration_my_custom_policy.py
+        ├── modeling_my_custom_policy.py
+        └── processor_my_custom_policy.py
+```
+
+### Package Configuration
+
+Set up your `pyproject.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[project]
+name = "lerobot_policy_my_custom_policy"
+version = "0.1.0"
+dependencies = [
+    # your policy-specific dependencies
+]
+requires-python = ">= 3.11"
+
+[build-system]
+build-backend = # your-build-backend
+requires = # your-build-system
+```
+
+## Step 2: Define the Policy Configuration
+
+Create a configuration class that inherits from `PreTrainedConfig` and registers your policy type:
+
+```python
+# configuration_my_custom_policy.py
+from dataclasses import dataclass, field
+from lerobot.configs.policies import PreTrainedConfig
+from lerobot.configs.types import NormalizationMode
+
+@PreTrainedConfig.register_subclass("my_custom_policy")
+@dataclass
+class MyCustomPolicyConfig(PreTrainedConfig):
+    """Configuration class for MyCustomPolicy.
+
+    Args:
+        n_obs_steps: Number of observation steps to use as input
+        horizon: Action prediction horizon
+        n_action_steps: Number of action steps to execute
+        hidden_dim: Hidden dimension for the policy network
+        # Add your policy-specific parameters here
+    """
+    # ...PreTrainedConfig fields...
+    pass
+
+    def __post_init__(self):
+        super().__post_init__()
+        # Add any validation logic here
+
+    def validate_features(self) -> None:
+        """Validate input/output feature compatibility."""
+        # Implement validation logic for your policy's requirements
+        pass
+```
+
+## Step 3: Implement the Policy Class
+
+Create your policy implementation by inheriting from LeRobot's base `PreTrainedPolicy` class:
+
+```python
+# modeling_my_custom_policy.py
+import torch
+import torch.nn as nn
+from typing import Dict, Any
+
+from lerobot.policies.pretrained import PreTrainedPolicy
+from .configuration_my_custom_policy import MyCustomPolicyConfig
+
+class MyCustomPolicy(PreTrainedPolicy):
+    config_class = MyCustomPolicyConfig
+    name = "my_custom_policy"
+
+    def __init__(self, config: MyCustomPolicyConfig, dataset_stats: Dict[str, Any] = None):
+        super().__init__(config, dataset_stats)
+        ...
+```
+
+## Step 4: Add Data Processors
+
+Create processor functions:
+
+```python
+# processor_my_custom_policy.py
+from typing import Dict, Any
+import torch
+
+
+def make_my_custom_policy_pre_post_processors(
+    config,
+) -> tuple[
+    PolicyProcessorPipeline[dict[str, Any], dict[str, Any]],
+    PolicyProcessorPipeline[PolicyAction, PolicyAction],
+]:
+    """Create preprocessing and postprocessing functions for your policy."""
+    pass  # Define your preprocessing and postprocessing logic here
+
+```
+
+## Step 5: Package Initialization
+
+Expose your classes in the package's `__init__.py`:
+
+```python
+# __init__.py
+"""Custom policy package for LeRobot."""
+
+try:
+    import lerobot  # noqa: F401
+except ImportError:
+    raise ImportError(
+        "lerobot is not installed. Please install lerobot to use this policy package."
+    )
+
+from .configuration_my_custom_policy import MyCustomPolicyConfig
+from .modeling_my_custom_policy import MyCustomPolicy
+from .processor_my_custom_policy import make_my_custom_policy_pre_post_processors
+
+__all__ = [
+    "MyCustomPolicyConfig",
+    "MyCustomPolicy",
+    "make_my_custom_policy_pre_post_processors",
+]
+```
+
+## Step 6: Installation and Usage
+
+### Install Your Policy Package
+
+```bash
+cd lerobot_policy_my_custom_policy
+pip install -e .
+
+# Or install from PyPI if published
+pip install lerobot_policy_my_custom_policy
+```
+
+### Use Your Policy
+
+Once installed, your policy automatically integrates with LeRobot's training and evaluation tools:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --policy.type my_custom_policy \
+    --env.type pusht \
+    --steps 200000
+```

+# EarthRover Mini Plus
+
+The EarthRover Mini Plus is a fully open source mobile robot that connects through the cloud using the Frodobots SDK. This lets you control the robot and record datasets for training AI models.
+
+## What You Need
+
+### Hardware
+
+- EarthRover Mini robot
+- Computer with Python 3.10 or newer
+- Internet connection
+
+### Setting Up the Frodobots SDK
+
+The robot needs the [Frodobots SDK](https://github.com/Frodobots/earth-rovers-sdk) running on your computer. Here's how:
+
+1. Download and install the SDK:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/Frodobots/earth-rovers-sdk.git
+cd earth-rovers-sdk
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+2. Start the SDK:
+
+```bash
+hypercorn main:app --reload
+```
+
+3. Open your web browser and go to `http://localhost:8000`, then click "Join"
+
+The SDK gives you:
+
+- Live video from front and rear cameras
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The SDK must be running before you can use the robot.
+
+## Install LeRobot
+
+Follow our [Installation Guide](./installation) to install LeRobot.
+
+In addition to the base installation, install the EarthRover Mini dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+The robot uses the internet to communicate:
+
+- **Movement commands**: Sent through the SDK
+- **Camera video**: Received from the SDK
+- **Robot info**: Battery, location, speed from the SDK
+
+You don't need to plug anything in - it all works through the SDK.
+
+## Calibration
+
+No calibration needed! The robot is ready to use as soon as the SDK is running.
+
+## Controlling the Robot
+
+You control the robot using your keyboard - just like playing a video game with WASD keys.
+
+### Keyboard Controls
+
+| Key | Action                           |
+| --- | -------------------------------- |
+| W   | Move forward                     |
+| S   | Move backward                    |
+| A   | Turn left (with forward motion)  |
+| D   | Turn right (with forward motion) |
+| Q   | Rotate left in place             |
+| E   | Rotate right in place            |
+| X   | Stop all movement                |
+| +/= | Increase speed                   |
+| -   | Decrease speed                   |
+| ESC | Disconnect                       |
+
+### Speed Settings
+
+You can adjust how fast the robot moves:
+
+- **Forward/backward speed**: Default is full speed (1.0)
+- **Turning speed**: Default is full speed (1.0)
+- **Speed changes**: Use +/- keys to adjust by 0.1 each time
+
+### Try It Out
+
+Test driving the robot before recording data:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.robots.earthrover_mini_plus import EarthRoverMiniPlus, EarthRoverMiniPlusConfig
+from lerobot.teleoperators.keyboard import KeyboardRoverTeleop, KeyboardRoverTeleopConfig
+
+# Initialize robot
+robot_config = EarthRoverMiniPlusConfig()
+robot = EarthRoverMiniPlus(robot_config)
+
+# Initialize teleoperator
+teleop_config = KeyboardRoverTeleopConfig(
+    linear_speed=1.0,
+    angular_speed=1.0,
+    speed_increment=0.1
+)
+teleop = KeyboardRoverTeleop(teleop_config)
+
+# Connect
+robot.connect()
+teleop.connect()
+
+# Teleoperate (use keyboard controls)
+try:
+    while True:
+        action = teleop.get_action()
+        robot.send_action(action)
+except KeyboardInterrupt:
+    pass
+finally:
+    robot.disconnect()
+    teleop.disconnect()
+```
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If you're using a Mac, you might need to give Terminal permission to access your keyboard for teleoperation. Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Input Monitoring and check the box for Terminal.
+
+## Recording Data
+
+Once you can drive the robot well, you can start recording data to train AI models. The system records:
+
+- **What you do**: How you move the robot (forward, backward, turning)
+- **What the robot sees**:
+  - Videos from both cameras
+  - Robot speed and direction
+  - Battery level and location
+  - GPS position and signal
+  - Other sensor data
+- **When it happened**: Timestamps for everything
+
+### Setting Up Hugging Face
+
+We use Hugging Face to store your data online. First, log in with your token from [Hugging Face settings](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens):
+
+```bash
+huggingface-cli login --token ${HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN} --add-to-git-credential
+```
+
+Store your Hugging Face username:
+
+```bash
+HF_USER=$(huggingface-cli whoami | head -n 1)
+echo $HF_USER
+```
+
+### Start Recording
+
+Use the standard recording command:
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/scripts/lerobot_record.py \
+    --robot.type=earthrover_mini_plus \
+    --teleop.type=keyboard_rover \
+    --dataset.repo_id=your_username/dataset_name \
+    --dataset.num_episodes=2 \
+    --dataset.fps=10 \
+    --dataset.single_task="Navigate around obstacles" \
+    --display_data=true
+```
+
+Replace `your_username/dataset_name` with your Hugging Face username and a name for your dataset.
+
+### What Gets Saved
+
+Your dataset includes:
+
+**Your Actions (2 things)**:
+
+- How much you moved forward/backward
+- How much you turned left/right
+
+**Robot Observations (12 things)**:
+
+- Front camera video
+- Rear camera video
+- Current speed
+- Battery level
+- Which way the robot is facing
+- GPS location (latitude, longitude, signal strength)
+- Network signal strength
+- Vibration level
+- Lamp status (on/off)
+
+### Where Your Data Goes
+
+On your computer: `~/.cache/huggingface/lerobot/{repo-id}`
+
+After recording, your data automatically uploads to your Hugging Face page:
+
+```bash
+echo https://huggingface.co/datasets/${HF_USER}/earthrover-navigation
+```
+
+Your dataset will be tagged with `LeRobot` for community discovery.

+/>
+
+## 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.

+
+## ☁️ 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

+
+# 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...

-# Imitation Learning in Sim
-
-This tutorial will explain how to train a neural network to control a robot in simulation with imitation learning.
-
-**You'll learn:**
-
-1. How to record a dataset in simulation with [gym-hil](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-hil) and visualize the dataset.
-2. How to train a policy using your data.
-3. How to evaluate your policy in simulation and visualize the results.
-
-For the simulation environment we use the same [repo](https://github.com/huggingface/gym-hil) that is also being used by the Human-In-the-Loop (HIL) reinforcement learning algorithm.
-This environment is based on [MuJoCo](https://mujoco.org) and allows you to record datasets in LeRobotDataset format.
-Teleoperation is easiest with a controller like the Logitech F710, but you can also use your keyboard if you are up for the challenge.
-
-## Installation
-
-First, install the `gym_hil` package within the LeRobot environment, go to your LeRobot folder and run this command:
-
-```bash
-pip install -e ".[hilserl]"
-```
-
-## Teleoperate and Record a Dataset
-
-To use `gym_hil` with LeRobot, you need to use a configuration file. An example config file can be found [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/config_examples/resolve/main/sim_il/env_config.json).
-
-To teleoperate and collect a dataset, we need to modify this config file. Here's an example configuration for imitation learning data collection:
-
-```json
-{
-  "env": {
-    "type": "gym_manipulator",
-    "name": "gym_hil",
-    "task": "PandaPickCubeGamepad-v0",
-    "fps": 10
-  },
-  "dataset": {
-    "repo_id": "your_username/il_gym",
-    "root": null,
-    "task": "pick_cube",
-    "num_episodes_to_record": 30,
-    "replay_episode": null,
-    "push_to_hub": true
-  },
-  "mode": "record",
-  "device": "cuda"
-}
-```
-
-Key configuration points:
-
-- Set your `repo_id` in the `dataset` section: `"repo_id": "your_username/il_gym"`
-- Set `num_episodes_to_record: 30` to collect 30 demonstration episodes
-- Ensure `mode` is set to `"record"`
-- If you don't have an NVIDIA GPU, change `"device": "cuda"` to `"mps"` for macOS or `"cpu"`
-- To use keyboard instead of gamepad, change `"task"` to `"PandaPickCubeKeyboard-v0"`
-
-Then we can run this command to start:
-
-<hfoptions id="teleop_sim">
-<hfoption id="Linux">
-
-```bash
-python -m lerobot.rl.gym_manipulator --config_path path/to/env_config_gym_hil_il.json
-```
-
-</hfoption>
-<hfoption id="MacOS">
-
-```bash
-mjpython -m lerobot.rl.gym_manipulator --config_path path/to/env_config_gym_hil_il.json
-```
-
-</hfoption>
-</hfoptions>
-
-Once rendered you can teleoperate the robot with the gamepad or keyboard, below you can find the gamepad/keyboard controls.
-
-Note that to teleoperate the robot you have to hold the "Human Take Over Pause Policy" Button `RB` to enable control!
-
-**Gamepad Controls**

-</p>
-<p align="center">
-  <i>Gamepad button mapping for robot control and episode management</i>
-</p>
-
-**Keyboard controls**
-
-For keyboard controls use the `spacebar` to enable control and the following keys to move the robot:
-
-```bash
-  Arrow keys: Move in X-Y plane
-  Shift and Shift_R: Move in Z axis
-  Right Ctrl and Left Ctrl: Open and close gripper
-  ESC: Exit
-```
-
-## Visualize a dataset
-
-If you uploaded your dataset to the hub you can [visualize your dataset online](https://huggingface.co/spaces/lerobot/visualize_dataset) by copy pasting your repo id.
-

-
-## Train a policy
-
-To train a policy to control your robot, use the [`lerobot-train`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/scripts/train.py) script. A few arguments are required. Here is an example command:
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \
-  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/il_gym \
-  --policy.type=act \
-  --output_dir=outputs/train/il_sim_test \
-  --job_name=il_sim_test \
-  --policy.device=cuda \
-  --wandb.enable=true
-```
-
-Let's explain the command:
-
-1. We provided the dataset as argument with `--dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/il_gym`.
-2. We provided the policy with `policy.type=act`. This loads configurations from [`configuration_act.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/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.
-3. 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.
-4. 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, 100k steps (which is the default) will take about 1h on Nvidia A100. You will find checkpoints in `outputs/train/il_sim_test/checkpoints`.
-
-#### Train using Collab
-
-If your local computer doesn't have a powerful GPU you could utilize Google Collab to train your model by following the [ACT training notebook](./notebooks#training-act).
-
-#### Upload policy checkpoints
-
-Once training is done, upload the latest checkpoint with:
-
-```bash
-huggingface-cli upload ${HF_USER}/il_sim_test \
-  outputs/train/il_sim_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
-```
-
-You can also upload intermediate checkpoints with:
-
-```bash
-CKPT=010000
-huggingface-cli upload ${HF_USER}/il_sim_test${CKPT} \
-  outputs/train/il_sim_test/checkpoints/${CKPT}/pretrained_model
-```
-
-## Evaluate your policy in Sim
-
-To evaluate your policy we have to use a configuration file. An example can be found [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/config_examples/resolve/main/sim_il/eval_config.json).
-
-Here's an example evaluation configuration:
-
-```json
-{
-  "env": {
-    "type": "gym_manipulator",
-    "name": "gym_hil",
-    "task": "PandaPickCubeGamepad-v0",
-    "fps": 10
-  },
-  "dataset": {
-    "repo_id": "your_username/il_sim_dataset",
-    "dataset_root": null,
-    "task": "pick_cube"
-  },
-  "pretrained_policy_name_or_path": "your_username/il_sim_model",
-  "device": "cuda"
-}
-```
-
-Make sure to replace:
-
-- `repo_id` with the dataset you trained on (e.g., `your_username/il_sim_dataset`)

-> [!WARNING]
-> While the main workflow of training ACT in simulation is straightforward, there is significant room for exploring how to set up the task, define the initial state of the environment, and determine the type of data required during collection to learn the most effective policy. If your trained policy doesn't perform well, investigate the quality of the dataset it was trained on using our visualizers, as well as the action values and various hyperparameters related to ACT and the simulation.

+# PyTorch accelerators
+
+LeRobot supports multiple hardware acceleration options for both training and inference.
+
+These options include:
+
+- **CPU**: CPU executes all computations, no dedicated accelerator is used
+- **CUDA**: acceleration with NVIDIA & AMD GPUs
+- **MPS**: acceleration with Apple Silicon GPUs
+- **XPU**: acceleration with Intel integrated and discrete GPUs
+
+## Getting Started
+
+To use particular accelerator, a suitable version of PyTorch should be installed.
+
+For CPU, CUDA, and MPS backends follow instructions provided on [PyTorch installation page](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally).
+For XPU backend, follow instructions from [PyTorch documentation](https://docs.pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/get_start_xpu.html).
+
+### Verifying the installation
+
+After installation, accelerator availability can be verified by running
+
+```python
+import torch
+print(torch.<backend_name>.is_available())  # <backend_name> is cuda, mps, or xpu
+```
+
+## How to run training or evaluation
+
+To select the desired accelerator, use the `--policy.device` flag when running `lerobot-train` or `lerobot-eval`. For example, to use MPS on Apple Silicon, run:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train
+    --policy.device=mps ...
+```
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+    --policy.device=mps ...
+```
+
+However, in most cases, presence of an accelerator is detected automatically and `policy.device` parameter can be omitted from CLI commands.

+# Unitree G1 Robot Setup and Control
+
+This guide covers the complete setup process for the Unitree G1 humanoid, from initial connection to running gr00t_wbc locomotion.
+
+## About the Unitree G1
+
+We offer support for both 29 and 23 DOF G1. In this first PR we introduce:
+
+- **`unitree g1` robot class, handling low level communication with the humanoid**
+- **ZMQ socket bridge** for remote communication over WiFi, allowing one to deploy policies remotely instead of over ethernet or directly on the Orin
+- **GR00T locomotion policy** for bipedal walking and balance
+
+---
+
+## Part 1: Connect to Robot over Ethernet
+
+### Step 1: Configure Your Computer's Ethernet Interface
+
+Set a static IP on the same subnet as the robot:
+
+```bash
+# Replace 'enp131s0' with your ethernet interface name (check with `ip a`)
+sudo ip addr flush dev enp131s0
+sudo ip addr add 192.168.123.200/24 dev enp131s0
+sudo ip link set enp131s0 up
+```
+
+**Note**: The robot's Ethernet IP is fixed at `192.168.123.164`. Your computer must use `192.168.123.x` where x ≠ 164.
+
+### Step 2: SSH into the Robot
+
+```bash
+ssh unitree@192.168.123.164
+# Password: 123
+```
+
+You should now be connected to the robot's onboard computer.
+
+---
+
+## Part 2: Enable WiFi on the Robot
+
+Once connected via Ethernet, follow these steps to enable WiFi:
+
+### Step 1: Enable WiFi Hardware
+
+```bash
+# Unblock WiFi radio
+sudo rfkill unblock wifi
+sudo rfkill unblock all
+
+# Bring up WiFi interface
+sudo ip link set wlan0 up
+
+# Enable NetworkManager control
+sudo nmcli radio wifi on
+sudo nmcli device set wlan0 managed yes
+sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
+```
+
+### Step 2: Enable Internet Forwarding
+
+**On your laptop:**
+
+```bash
+# Enable IP forwarding
+sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
+
+# Set up NAT (replace wlp132s0f0 with your WiFi interface)
+sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlp132s0f0 -s 192.168.123.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
+sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i wlp132s0f0 -o enp131s0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
+sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i enp131s0 -o wlp132s0f0 -j ACCEPT
+```
+
+**On the robot:**
+
+```bash
+# Add laptop as default gateway
+sudo ip route del default 2>/dev/null || true
+sudo ip route add default via 192.168.123.200 dev eth0
+echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf
+
+# Test connection
+ping -c 3 8.8.8.8
+```
+
+### Step 3: Connect to WiFi Network
+
+```bash
+# List available networks
+nmcli device wifi list
+
+# Connect to your WiFi (example)
+sudo nmcli connection add type wifi ifname wlan0 con-name "YourNetwork" ssid "YourNetwork"
+sudo nmcli connection modify "YourNetwork" wifi-sec.key-mgmt wpa-psk
+sudo nmcli connection modify "YourNetwork" wifi-sec.psk "YourPassword"
+sudo nmcli connection modify "YourNetwork" connection.autoconnect yes
+sudo nmcli connection up "YourNetwork"
+
+# Check WiFi IP address
+ip a show wlan0
+```
+
+### Step 4: SSH Over WiFi
+
+Once connected to WiFi, note the robot's IP address and disconnect the Ethernet cable. You can now SSH over WiFi:
+
+```bash
+ssh unitree@<YOUR_ROBOT_IP>
+# Password: 123
+```
+
+Replace `<YOUR_ROBOT_IP>` with your robot's actual WiFi IP address (e.g., `172.18.129.215`).
+
+---
+
+## Part 3: Robot Server Setup
+
+### Step 1: Install LeRobot on the Orin
+
+SSH into the robot and install LeRobot:
+
+```bash
+ssh unitree@<YOUR_ROBOT_IP>
+
+conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.10
+conda activate lerobot
+git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git
+cd lerobot
+pip install -e '.[unitree_g1]'
+git clone https://github.com/unitreerobotics/unitree_sdk2_python.git
+cd unitree_sdk2_python  && pip install -e .
+```
+
+**Note**: The Unitree SDK requires CycloneDDS v0.10.2 to be installed. See the [Unitree SDK documentation](https://github.com/unitreerobotics/unitree_sdk2_python) for details.
+
+### Step 2: Run the Robot Server
+
+On the robot:
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/robots/unitree_g1/run_g1_server.py
+```
+
+**Important**: Keep this terminal running. The server must be active for remote control.
+
+---
+
+## Part 4: Running GR00T Locomotion
+
+With the robot server running, you can now control the robot from your laptop.
+
+### Step 1: Install LeRobot on your machine
+
+```bash
+conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.10
+conda activate lerobot
+git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git
+cd lerobot
+pip install -e '.[unitree_g1]'
+git clone https://github.com/unitreerobotics/unitree_sdk2_python.git
+cd unitree_sdk2_python  && pip install -e .
+```
+
+### Step 2: Update Robot IP in Config
+
+Edit the config file to match your robot's WiFi IP:
+
+```python
+# In src/lerobot/robots/unitree_g1/config_unitree_g1.py
+robot_ip: str = "<YOUR_ROBOT_IP>"  # Replace with your robot's WiFi IP.
+```
+
+**Note**: When running directly on the G1 (not remotely), set `robot_ip: str = "127.0.0.1"` instead.
+
+### Step 3: Run the Locomotion Policy
+
+```bash
+# Run GR00T locomotion controller
+python examples/unitree_g1/gr00t_locomotion.py --repo-id "nepyope/GR00T-WholeBodyControl_g1"
+```
+

+# X-VLA: The First Soft-Prompted Robot Foundation Model for Any Robot, Any Task
+
+## Overview
+
+For years, robotics has aspired to build agents that can follow natural human instructions and operate dexterously across many environments and robot bodies. Recent breakthroughs in LLMs and VLMs suggest a path forward: extend these foundation-model architectures to embodied control by grounding them in actions. This has led to the rise of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, with the hope that a single generalist model could combine broad semantic understanding with robust manipulation skills.
+
+But training such models is difficult. Robot data is fragmented across platforms, sensors, embodiments, and collection protocols. Heterogeneity appears everywhere: different arm configurations, different action spaces, different camera setups, different visual domains, and different task distributions. These inconsistencies create major distribution shifts that make pretraining unstable and adaptation unreliable.
+
+Inspired by meta-learning and prompt learning, we ask: **"What if a VLA model could learn the structure of each robot and dataset the same way LLMs learn tasks, through prompts?"**
+
+**X-VLA** is a soft-prompted, flow-matching VLA framework that treats each hardware setup as a "task" and encodes it using a small set of learnable embeddings. These **Soft Prompts** capture embodiment and domain-specific variations, guiding the Transformer from the earliest stages of multimodal fusion. With this mechanism, X-VLA can reconcile diverse robot morphologies, data types, and sensor setups within a single unified architecture.
+
+<p align="center">

+    alt="XVLA Architecture"
+    style="max-width: 100%; height: auto; width: 800px;"
+  />
+</p>
+
+Built from pure Transformer encoders, X-VLA scales naturally with model size and dataset diversity. Across 6 simulation benchmarks and 3 real robots, Soft Prompts consistently outperform existing methods in handling hardware and domain differences. X-VLA-0.9B, trained on 290K episodes spanning seven robotic platforms, learns an embodiment-agnostic generalist policy in Phase I, and adapts efficiently to new robots in Phase II simply by learning a new set of prompts, while keeping the backbone frozen.
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img

+    alt="XVLA Architecture 2"
+    style="width: 32%; max-width: 450px; height: auto;"
+  />
+</p>
+
+With only 1% of parameters tuned (9M), X-VLA-0.9B achieves near-π₀ performance on LIBERO and Simpler-WidowX, despite using **300× fewer trainable parameters**. It also demonstrates strong real-world dexterity with minimal demonstrations, including folding cloths in under two minutes.

+    alt="XVLA fold visualization"
+    style="width: 95%; max-width: 1100px; height: auto;"
+  />
+</p>
+
+X-VLA shows that generalist robot intelligence does not require increasingly complex architectures, only the right way to absorb heterogeneity. Soft Prompts offer a simple, scalable mechanism for unifying diverse robotic data, paving the way toward adaptable, cross-embodiment robot foundation models.
+
+## Installation
+
+After installing LeRobot, install the X-VLA dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e .[xvla]
+```
+
+After the new release, you'll be able to do:
+
+```bash
+pip install lerobot[xvla]
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+To use X-VLA in your LeRobot configuration, specify the policy type as:
+
+```bash
+policy.type=xvla
+```
+
+### Evaluating Pre-trained Checkpoints
+
+Example evaluation with LIBERO:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="lerobot/xvla-libero" \

+## Available Checkpoints
+
+### 🎯 Base Model
+
+**[lerobot/xvla-base](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/xvla-base)**
+
+A 0.9B parameter instantiation of X-VLA, trained with a carefully designed data processing and learning recipe. The training pipeline consists of two phases:
+
+- **Phase I: Pretraining** - Pretrained on 290K episodes from Droid, Robomind, and Agibot, spanning seven platforms across five types of robotic arms (single-arm to bi-manual setups). By leveraging soft prompts to absorb embodiment-specific variations, the model learns an embodiment-agnostic generalist policy.
+
+- **Phase II: Domain Adaptation** - Adapted to deployable policies for target domains. A new set of soft prompts is introduced and optimized to encode the hardware configuration of the novel domain, while the pretrained backbone remains frozen.

+
+## Training X-VLA
+
+### Recommended Training Configuration
+
+When fine-tuning X-VLA for a new embodiment or task, we recommend the following freezing strategy:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=YOUR_DATASET \
+  --output_dir=./outputs/xvla_training \
+  --job_name=xvla_training \
+  --policy.path="lerobot/xvla-base" \
+  --policy.repo_id="HF_USER/xvla-your-robot" \
+  --steps=3000 \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --policy.freeze_vision_encoder=True \
+  --policy.freeze_language_encoder=True \
+  --policy.train_policy_transformer=True \
+  --policy.train_soft_prompts=True \
+  --policy.action_mode=YOUR_ACTION_MODE
+```
+
+### Training Parameters Explained
+
+| Parameter                  | Default | Description                              |
+| -------------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------- |
+| `freeze_vision_encoder`    | `True`  | Freeze the VLM vision encoder weights    |
+| `freeze_language_encoder`  | `True`  | Freeze the VLM language encoder weights  |
+| `train_policy_transformer` | `True`  | Allow policy transformer layers to train |
+| `train_soft_prompts`       | `True`  | Allow soft prompts to train              |
+
+**💡 Best Practice**: For Phase II adaptation to new embodiments, freeze the VLM encoders and only train the policy transformer and soft prompts. This provides excellent sample efficiency with minimal compute.
+
+### Example: Training on Bimanual Robot
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=pepijn223/bimanual-so100-handover-cube \
+  --output_dir=./outputs/xvla_bimanual \
+  --job_name=xvla_so101_training \
+  --policy.path="lerobot/xvla-base" \
+  --policy.repo_id="YOUR_USERNAME/xvla-biso101" \
+  --steps=3000 \
+  --policy.device=cuda \
+  --policy.action_mode=so101_bimanual \
+  --policy.freeze_vision_encoder=True \
+  --policy.freeze_language_encoder=True \
+  --policy.train_policy_transformer=True \
+  --policy.train_soft_prompts=True
+```
+
+💡 **Best Performance:** If you have sufficient computational resources and want to achieve best X-VLA finetuning performance, you should follow the official finetuning strategy:
+
+**🔥 Full-finetune all components with a custom learning-rate scheme**
+
+To ensure stable optimization, the Vision-Language Model (VLM) must be trained with only 1/10 of the base learning rate, while all other components use the full LR.
+This LR ratio is crucial for achieving strong and stable finetuning performance.
+To enable this behavior, you must:
+
+1. Implement a custom optimizer and register it in your training config
+
+```
+from dataclasses import dataclass, asdict
+from lerobot.optim.optimizers import OptimizerConfig
+import torch
+
+@OptimizerConfig.register_subclass("xvla-adamw")
+@dataclass
+class XVLAAdamW(OptimizerConfig):
+    lr: float = 1e-4
+    betas: tuple[float, float] = (0.9, 0.99)
+    eps: float = 1e-8
+    weight_decay: float = 0.0
+    grad_clip_norm: float = 10.0
+
+    def build(self, params: dict) -> torch.optim.Optimizer:
+        """
+        Expect `named_parameters()` as input.
+        Apply lr = lr / 10 for all VLM-related parameters.
+        """
+        assert isinstance(params, dict), \
+            "Custom LR optimizer requires `named_parameters()` as inputs."
+        kwargs = asdict(self)
+        kwargs.pop("grad_clip_norm")
+        vlm_group, other_group = [], []
+        for name, p in params.items():
+            if not p.requires_grad:
+                continue
+            if "vlm" in name.lower():
+                vlm_group.append(p)
+            else:
+                other_group.append(p)
+
+        param_groups = [
+            {"params": vlm_group, "lr": self.lr * 0.1, "weight_decay": self.weight_decay * 0.1},
+            {"params": other_group, "lr": self.lr, "weight_decay": self.weight_decay},
+        ]
+
+        return torch.optim.AdamW(param_groups, **kwargs)
+```
+
+2. Modify X-VLA’s get_optim_params to return named parameters
+
+Replace:
+
+```
+def get_optim_params(self) -> dict:
+    """Return only trainable parameters for optimization."""
+    return filter(lambda p: p.requires_grad, self.parameters())
+```
+
+with:
+
+```
+def get_optim_params(self):
+    """Return trainable named parameters."""
+    return filter(lambda kv: kv[1].requires_grad, self.named_parameters())
+```
+
+This ensures the optimizer receives a dict of named parameters, allowing it to correctly detect VLM modules and apply the 1/10 LR rule.
+
+❕Note
+
+Completely matching the official reported performance may require an additional warm-up LR schedule for soft-prompts, which can bring minor improvements.
+We encourage implementing this in your customized training pipeline for optimal results.
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### 1. Action Modes
+
+X-VLA uses an **Action Registry** system to handle different action spaces and embodiments. The `action_mode` parameter defines how actions are processed, what loss functions are used, and how predictions are post-processed.
+
+#### Available Action Modes
+
+| Action Mode      | Action Dim              | Description                                 | Use Case                             |
+| ---------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
+| `ee6d`           | 20                      | End-effector with xyz, 6D rotation, gripper | Dual-arm setups with spatial control |
+| `joint`          | 14                      | Joint-space with gripper                    | Direct joint control robots          |
+| `agibot_ee6d`    | 20                      | AGI-bot variant with MSE loss               | AGI-bot platforms                    |
+| `so101_bimanual` | 20 (model), 12 (real)   | SO101 bimanual robot                        | Bimanual manipulation tasks          |
+| `auto`           | 20 (model), auto (real) | Auto-detects action dim from dataset        | **Recommended** for new robots       |
+
+#### Why Action Modes Matter
+
+When you have a pretrained checkpoint like `lerobot/xvla-base` trained with `action_dim=20`, and you want to train on a dataset with a different action dimension (e.g., 14 for bimanual arms), you can't simply trim the action dimension. The action mode orchestrates:
+
+1. **Loss Computation**: Different loss functions for different action components (MSE for joints, BCE for grippers, etc.)
+2. **Preprocessing**: Zeroing out gripper channels, padding dimensions
+3. **Postprocessing**: Applying sigmoid to gripper logits, trimming padding
+
+#### Example: BimanualSO101 Action Space
+
+The `so101_bimanual` action mode handles the mismatch between model output (20D) and real robot control (12D):
+
+```python
+# Model outputs 20 dimensions for compatibility
+dim_action = 20
+
+# Real robot only needs 12 dimensions
+# [left_arm (6), right_arm (6)] = [joints (5) + gripper (1)] × 2
+REAL_DIM = 12
+
+# Preprocessing: Pad 12D actions to 20D for training
+# Postprocessing: Trim 20D predictions to 12D for deployment
+```
+
+See the [action_hub.py](/home/jade_choghari/robot/lerobot/src/lerobot/policies/xvla/action_hub.py) implementation for details.
+
+#### Auto Action Mode (Recommended)
+
+The `auto` action mode is the easiest way to use X-VLA with any robot. It automatically detects your dataset's action dimension and handles padding/trimming:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.path="lerobot/xvla-base" \
+  --policy.action_mode=auto \
+  --policy.max_action_dim=20 \
+  ...
+```
+
+**How it works:**
+
+- Reads `action_feature.shape[-1]` from your dataset (e.g., 7 for Franka)
+- Model outputs `max_action_dim` (default 20) for pretrained compatibility
+- Loss is computed **only on the real dimensions**: `MSE(pred[:,:,:real_dim], target[:,:,:real_dim])`
+- Postprocess trims output back to `real_dim` for robot control
+
+This eliminates the need to create custom action modes for most robots.
+
+### 2. Domain IDs
+
+Domain IDs are learnable identifiers for different robot configurations and camera setups. They allow X-VLA to distinguish between:
+
+- Different robots (Robot 1 vs Robot 2)
+- Different camera configurations (cam1 vs cam2)
+- Different combinations (Robot1-cam1-cam2 vs Robot1-cam1 vs Robot2-cam1)
+
+#### Setting Domain IDs
+
+**During Training**: By default, domain_id is set to 0 for general training.
+
+**During Evaluation**: Specify the domain_id that matches your checkpoint's training configuration.
+
+```python
+# Example: LIBERO checkpoint uses domain_id=3
+domain_id = 3
+```
+
+The domain_id is automatically added to observations by the `XVLAAddDomainIdProcessorStep` in the preprocessing pipeline.
+
+### 3. Processor Steps
+
+X-VLA requires specific preprocessing and postprocessing steps for proper operation.
+
+#### Required Preprocessing Steps
+
+1. **XVLAImageToFloatProcessorStep**: Converts images from [0, 255] to [0, 1] range
+2. **XVLAImageNetNormalizeProcessorStep**: Applies ImageNet normalization (required for VLM backbone)
+3. **XVLAAddDomainIdProcessorStep**: Adds domain_id to observations
+
+#### Example Custom Processor
+
+For LIBERO environments, a custom processor handles the specific observation format:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.policies.xvla.processor_xvla import LiberoProcessorStep
+
+processor = LiberoProcessorStep()
+# Handles robot_state dictionary, converts rotation matrices to 6D representation
+# Applies 180° image rotation for camera convention
+```
+
+### 4. Configuration Parameters
+
+Key configuration parameters for X-VLA:
+
+```python
+# Observation and action
+n_obs_steps: int = 1          # Number of observation timesteps
+chunk_size: int = 32           # Action sequence length
+n_action_steps: int = 32       # Number of action steps to execute
+
+# Model architecture
+hidden_size: int = 1024        # Transformer hidden dimension
+depth: int = 24                # Number of transformer layers
+num_heads: int = 16            # Number of attention heads
+num_domains: int = 30          # Maximum number of domain IDs
+len_soft_prompts: int = 32     # Length of soft prompt embeddings
+
+# Action space
+action_mode: str = "ee6d"      # Action space type (use "auto" for auto-detection)
+use_proprio: bool = True       # Use proprioceptive state
+max_state_dim: int = 32        # Maximum state dimension
+max_action_dim: int = 20       # Max action dim for padding (used by "auto" mode)
+
+# Vision
+num_image_views: int | None    # Number of camera views
+resize_imgs_with_padding: tuple[int, int] | None  # Target image size with padding
+
+# Training
+num_denoising_steps: int = 10  # Flow matching denoising steps
+```
+
+## Creating Custom Action Modes
+
+If your robot has a unique action space, you can create a custom action mode:
+
+### Step 1: Define Your Action Space
+
+```python
+from lerobot.policies.xvla.action_hub import BaseActionSpace, register_action
+import torch.nn as nn
+
+@register_action("my_custom_robot")
+class MyCustomActionSpace(BaseActionSpace):
+    """Custom action space for my robot."""
+
+    dim_action = 15  # Your robot's action dimension
+    gripper_idx = (7, 14)  # Gripper channel indices
+
+    def __init__(self):
+        super().__init__()
+        self.mse = nn.MSELoss()
+        self.bce = nn.BCEWithLogitsLoss()
+
+    def compute_loss(self, pred, target):
+        """Define your loss computation."""
+        # Example: MSE for joints, BCE for grippers
+        joints_loss = self.mse(pred[:, :, :7], target[:, :, :7])
+        gripper_loss = self.bce(pred[:, :, self.gripper_idx],
+                                target[:, :, self.gripper_idx])
+
+        return {
+            "joints_loss": joints_loss,
+            "gripper_loss": gripper_loss,
+        }
+
+    def preprocess(self, proprio, action, mode="train"):
+        """Preprocess actions before training."""
+        # Example: Zero out grippers in proprioception
+        proprio_m = proprio.clone()
+        action_m = action.clone() if action is not None else None
+        proprio_m[..., self.gripper_idx] = 0.0
+        if action_m is not None:
+            action_m[..., self.gripper_idx] = 0.0
+        return proprio_m, action_m
+
+    def postprocess(self, action):
+        """Post-process predictions for deployment."""
+        # Example: Apply sigmoid to gripper logits
+        action[..., self.gripper_idx] = torch.sigmoid(action[..., self.gripper_idx])
+        return action
+```
+
+### Step 2: Use Your Custom Action Mode
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.action_mode=my_custom_robot \
+  --dataset.repo_id=YOUR_DATASET \
+  --policy.path="lerobot/xvla-base" \
+  ...
+```
+
+## Advanced Topics
+
+### Multi-Camera Support
+
+X-VLA supports multiple camera views through the `num_image_views` parameter:
+
+```python
+# Configure for 3 camera views
+policy.num_image_views=3
+
+# Add empty cameras if you have fewer physical cameras
+policy.empty_cameras=1  # Adds 1 zero-padded camera view
+```
+
+### Custom Preprocessing Pipeline
+
+Create a custom preprocessing pipeline for your environment:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.processor import PolicyProcessorPipeline
+from lerobot.policies.xvla.processor_xvla import (
+    XVLAImageToFloatProcessorStep,
+    XVLAImageNetNormalizeProcessorStep,
+    XVLAAddDomainIdProcessorStep,
+)
+
+# Build custom pipeline
+preprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline(
+    steps=[
+        YourCustomProcessorStep(),  # Your custom processing
+        XVLAImageToFloatProcessorStep(),  # Required: convert to float
+        XVLAImageNetNormalizeProcessorStep(),  # Required: ImageNet norm
+        XVLAAddDomainIdProcessorStep(domain_id=5),  # Your domain ID
+    ]
+)
+```
+
+### Handling Different Action Dimensions
+
+When your dataset has fewer action dimensions than the pretrained model:
+
+**Option 1 (Recommended)**: Use `auto` action mode
+
+```bash
+# Automatically detects your dataset's action dimension
+# Works with any robot without custom code
+policy.action_mode=auto
+policy.max_action_dim=20  # Match pretrained model
+```
+
+**Option 2**: Use a predefined action mode with built-in padding
+
+```python
+# Model expects 20D, dataset has 12D
+# Action mode handles padding internally
+action_mode = "so101_bimanual"  # Pads 12 → 20
+```
+
+**Option 2**: Create a custom action mode that maps dimensions explicitly
+
+```python
+@register_action("my_mapped_action")
+class MappedActionSpace(BaseActionSpace):
+    dim_action = 20
+    REAL_DIM = 12
+
+    def _pad_to_model_dim(self, x):
+        # Custom padding logic
+        ...
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Issue**: "Action dimension mismatch"
+
+- **Solution**: Check that your `action_mode` matches your robot's action space. Create a custom action mode if needed.
+
+**Issue**: "Image values outside [0, 1] range"
+
+- **Solution**: Ensure images are preprocessed with `XVLAImageToFloatProcessorStep` before normalization.
+
+**Issue**: "Domain ID not found"
+
+- **Solution**: Make sure `XVLAAddDomainIdProcessorStep` is in your preprocessing pipeline with the correct domain_id.
+
+**Issue**: "Low success rate on new embodiment"
+
+- **Solution**:
+  1. Verify your action_mode is correct
+  2. Check that soft prompts are being trained (`train_soft_prompts=True`)
+  3. Ensure proper preprocessing (ImageNet normalization, domain_id)
+  4. Consider increasing training steps
+
+**Issue**: "Out of memory during training"
+
+- **Solution**:
+  1. Reduce `chunk_size` (e.g., from 32 to 16)
+  2. Enable gradient checkpointing
+  3. Reduce batch size
+  4. Freeze more components

+# Synthetic Data Generation Script - Summary
+
+## ✅ What Was Created
+
+### Main Script: `annotate_pgen.py` (717 lines)
+A production-ready script implementing the Hi-Robot synthetic data generation pipeline.
+
+**Key Features:**
+- ✅ Loads LeRobot datasets with skill annotations
+- ✅ Generates synthetic user prompts and robot utterances using Qwen VLM
+- ✅ **Temporal sampling** - generates dialogue every N seconds (default: 1s)
+- ✅ Adds `task_index_high_level` feature to dataset parquets
+- ✅ Saves high-level tasks to `meta/tasks_high_level.parquet`
+- ✅ Exports debug JSONL for quality analysis
+- ✅ Supports both Qwen2-VL and Qwen3-VL models
+- ✅ Multi-view camera support
+- ✅ Episode-aware processing with automatic first-frame sampling
+- ✅ Modular architecture for easy extension
+
+### Supporting Files Created
+
+1. **`run_pgen.sh`** - Convenience script with sensible defaults
+2. **`README_PGEN.md`** - Comprehensive documentation with examples
+3. **`example_pgen_usage.md`** - Practical examples and performance estimates
+4. **`SAMPLING_DIAGRAM.md`** - Visual explanation of temporal sampling strategy
+5. **`PGEN_SUMMARY.md`** - This file
+
+## 🚀 Key Innovation: Temporal Sampling
+
+The script processes **ALL episodes** in the dataset efficiently via `--sample-interval`:
+
+```bash
+# Instead of calling VLM for every frame (expensive):
+# 15,000 frames × VLM call = ~5 hours
+
+# Generate dialogue every 1 second (efficient):
+python annotate_pgen.py --repo-id dataset --model qwen --sample-interval 1.0
+# 15,000 frames processed, only ~500 VLM calls (30x speedup!)
+```
+
+**How it works:**
+- Process ALL frames in ALL episodes (complete coverage)
+- Generate dialogue at sampled timepoints (e.g., every 1 second)
+- Propagate task indices to intermediate frames
+- Always sample first frame of each episode
+- All frames get labeled, but VLM is only called for samples
+- No dummy values or skipped episodes
+
+**Benefits:**
+- 30-100x speedup depending on interval
+- Maintains temporal coherence
+- Reduces cost without losing quality
+- Configurable based on skill duration
+
+## 📊 Efficiency Comparison
+
+For a typical 15,000 frame dataset at 30 fps:
+
+| Method | VLM Calls | Time | Cost |
+|--------|-----------|------|------|
+| Every frame | 15,000 | ~5 hours | $$$$ |
+| Every 0.5s | 1,000 | ~20 min | $$$ |
+| **Every 1s** (default) | **500** | **~10 min** | **$$** |
+| Every 2s | 250 | ~5 min | $ |

+# Synthetic Data Generation for Hierarchical Robot Policies
+
+This directory contains `annotate_pgen.py`, a script for generating synthetic user prompts and robot utterances for hierarchical policy training using Vision-Language Models (VLMs).
+
+## Overview
+
+The script implements the synthetic data generation pipeline described in the Hi-Robot paper:
+
+1. **Load** a LeRobot dataset with skill annotations (from `annotate.py`)
+2. **Generate** synthetic dialogue using Qwen VLM:
+   - User prompts (ℓ_t): Natural requests that lead to specific skills
+   - Robot utterances (u_t): Acknowledgments and clarifications
+3. **Save** results as a new dataset feature `task_index_high_level`
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. First, annotate your dataset with skills using `annotate.py`:
+
+```bash
+python examples/dataset/annotate.py \
+    --repo-id lerobot/svla_so101_pickplace \
+    --video-key observation.images.base \
+    --model Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct
+```
+
+This creates `meta/skills.json` with skill segmentation for each episode.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+python examples/dataset/annotate_pgen.py \
+    --repo-id lerobot/svla_so101_pickplace \
+    --model Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct \
+    --sample-interval 1.0 \
+    --output-dir ./outputs/pgen_dataset
+```
+
+**Note**: The script processes **all episodes** in the dataset. It generates dialogue every 1 second (`--sample-interval 1.0`) using temporal sampling. Frames between samples reuse the last generated dialogue. This makes the process efficient while ensuring complete dataset coverage.
+
+### Advanced Options
+
+```bash
+python examples/dataset/annotate_pgen.py \
+    --repo-id lerobot/svla_so101_pickplace \
+    --model Qwen/Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Instruct \
+    --temperature 0.8 \
+    --sample-interval 0.5 \
+    --num-image-views-per-sample 2 \
+    --output-dir ./outputs/pgen_dataset \
+    --push-to-hub
+```
+
+This example uses a more powerful model and samples every 0.5 seconds for finer granularity.
+
+### Fast Testing (larger interval)
+
+```bash
+python examples/dataset/annotate_pgen.py \
+    --repo-id lerobot/svla_so101_pickplace \
+    --model Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct \
+    --sample-interval 5.0 \
+    --output-dir ./outputs/pgen_quick_test
+```
+
+Use a larger interval (5.0 seconds) for rapid iteration during development. All episodes are still processed.
+
+### Using Local Dataset
+
+```bash
+python examples/dataset/annotate_pgen.py \
+    --data-dir /fsx/jade_choghari/.cache/huggingface/lerobot/lerobot/svla_so101_pickplace \
+    --model Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct \
+    --output-dir ./outputs/pgen_dataset
+```
+
+## Output Files
+
+The script produces several outputs:
+
+1. **`meta/tasks_high_level.parquet`**: High-level tasks with user prompts and robot utterances
+   - Columns: task_index, user_prompt, robot_utterance, skill, scenario_type, response_type
+
+2. **`meta/syn_annotations.jsonl`**: Debug file with all generated dialogues
+   - One JSON object per line with full context for each frame
+
+3. **Modified dataset**: New dataset with `task_index_high_level` feature added to all parquet files
+
+## Scenario and Response Types
+
+The generator produces diverse interaction types:
+
+### Scenario Types
+- **specific_object**: Direct specification of objects/actions
+- **negative_task**: Instructions about what NOT to do
+- **situated_correction**: Adjustments based on current state
+- **implicit_request**: Implied needs without direct commands
+- **constraint_based**: Specific constraints or preferences
+
+### Response Types
+- **confirmation**: Simple acknowledgment ("OK, I'll do X")
+- **clarification**: Seeking confirmation ("Just to confirm...")
+- **acknowledgment**: Action acknowledgment ("Got it, doing X")
+- **constraint_acknowledgment**: Acknowledging constraints ("Sure, I'll X while Y")
+
+## Example Generated Data
+
+```json
+{
+  "episode_id": 0,
+  "frame_index": 45,
+  "timestamp": 2.5,
+  "skill_current": "robot arm picks up pink lego brick",
+  "skill_history": ["robot arm moves towards pink lego brick"],
+  "task_description": "pink lego brick into the transparent box",
+  "scenario_type": "specific_object",
+  "response_type": "confirmation",
+  "user_prompt": "Can you grab the pink brick?",
+  "robot_utterance": "Sure, I'll pick up the pink lego brick."
+}
+```
+
+## Accessing the Data
+
+After running the script, access the synthetic data in your code:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
+import pandas as pd
+
+# Load modified dataset
+dataset = LeRobotDataset(repo_id="lerobot/svla_so101_pickplace_with_high_level_tasks")
+
+# Access frame with high-level task
+frame = dataset[100]
+high_level_task_idx = frame["task_index_high_level"].item()
+
+# Load high-level tasks
+tasks_df = pd.read_parquet(dataset.root / "meta" / "tasks_high_level.parquet")
+task_info = tasks_df.iloc[high_level_task_idx]
+
+print(f"User prompt: {task_info['user_prompt']}")
+print(f"Robot utterance: {task_info['robot_utterance']}")
+print(f"Skill: {task_info['skill']}")
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+The script is modular and extensible:
+
+```python
+# Core components
+class QwenPgen:
+    """VLM wrapper for generation"""
+    def call_qwen(images, prompt) -> dict
+    
+def construct_prompt(task, history, skill) -> str
+    """Build prompt for VLM"""
+    
+def annotate_sample(pgen, images, ...) -> dict
+    """Generate dialogue for one sample"""
+    
+def generate_synthetic_data(dataset, pgen, ...) -> tuple
+    """Process entire dataset"""
+```
+
+## Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Default | Description |
+|-----------|---------|-------------|
+| `--repo-id` | - | HuggingFace dataset ID |
+| `--data-dir` | - | Local dataset path |
+| `--model` | Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct | VLM model name |
+| `--device` | cuda | Device (cuda/cpu) |
+| `--dtype` | bfloat16 | Model precision |
+| `--temperature` | 0.7 | Sampling temperature |
+| `--sample-interval` | 1.0 | Generate dialogue every N seconds (all episodes processed) |
+| `--num-image-views-per-sample` | 1 | Number of cameras |
+| `--output-dir` | None | Output directory |
+| `--push-to-hub` | False | Push to HuggingFace Hub |
+
+## Sampling Strategy
+
+The script uses **temporal sampling** to efficiently generate dialogue:
+
+- **Default**: Generate dialogue every 1 second (`--sample-interval 1.0`)
+- **Efficiency**: If a dataset runs at 30fps, this samples ~3% of frames
+- **Propagation**: Frames between samples reuse the last generated task_index
+- **Episode-aware**: Always samples the first frame of each episode
+
+### Example with 30 fps dataset:
+```bash
+# Sample every 1 second (every 30 frames)
+--sample-interval 1.0  # ~3,000 generations for a 100 episode dataset (3 sec/episode)
+
+# Sample every 0.5 seconds (every 15 frames)
+--sample-interval 0.5  # ~6,000 generations (more granular)
+
+# Sample every 2 seconds (every 60 frames)
+--sample-interval 2.0  # ~1,500 generations (more efficient)
+```
+
+### Why sampling works:
+- Skills typically last 1-3 seconds
+- Dialogue doesn't need to change every frame
+- Reduces computational cost by 30-100x
+- Still provides good coverage for training
+
+## Tips
+
+1. **Quick testing**: Use larger `--sample-interval` (e.g., 5.0 or 10.0) for rapid iteration
+2. **Monitor GPU**: VLM inference is memory-intensive
+3. **Check outputs**: Review `syn_annotations.jsonl` for quality
+4. **Adjust temperature**: Higher = more diverse, lower = more consistent
+5. **Multiple views**: Use `--num-image-views-per-sample 2+` for better context
+6. **Tune sampling**: Start with 1.0s, increase for speed (testing), decrease for granularity (production)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No skills.json found
+Run `annotate.py` first to generate skill annotations.
+
+### Out of memory
+- Reduce batch size to 1
+- Use smaller model (Qwen2-VL-7B instead of Qwen3-VL-30B)
+- Process fewer samples at a time
+
+### Poor quality generations
+- Adjust temperature (try 0.6-0.9)
+- Check that skills.json has good annotations
+- Ensure images are loading correctly

+
+Note: Frames 0, 130, 260 are ALWAYS sampled (episode starts)
+      Even if they're within the sample-interval window
+```
+
+## Real-World Example: svla_so101_pickplace Dataset
+
+Typical stats:
+- **Total episodes**: 50
+- **Avg episode length**: 300 frames (10 seconds at 30 fps)
+- **Total frames**: 15,000
+
+### Without Sampling (every frame)
+```
+Frames processed:    15,000
+VLM calls:           15,000
+Time estimate:       ~5 hours
+Unique tasks:        ~12,000 (lots of duplicates)
+```
+
+### With `--sample-interval 1.0` (every 1 second)
+```
+Frames processed:    15,000 ✓
+VLM calls:           500
+Time estimate:       ~10 minutes
+Unique tasks:        ~450 (meaningful variety)
+Efficiency gain:     30x faster
+```
+
+### With `--sample-interval 2.0` (every 2 seconds)
+```
+Frames processed:    15,000 ✓
+VLM calls:           250
+Time estimate:       ~5 minutes
+Unique tasks:        ~220
+Efficiency gain:     60x faster
+```
+
+## Key Points
+
+1. **All frames get labeled**: Every frame gets a `task_index_high_level`
+2. **Only sampled frames call VLM**: Huge efficiency gain
+3. **Temporal coherence**: Nearby frames share the same task
+4. **Episode-aware**: Always samples episode starts
+5. **Configurable**: Adjust `--sample-interval` based on your needs
+
+## Choosing Your Sampling Interval
+
+| Use Case | Recommended Interval | Why |
+|----------|---------------------|-----|
+| Quick testing | 2.0s | Fastest iteration |
+| Standard training | 1.0s | Good balance |
+| High-quality dataset | 0.5s | Better coverage |
+| Fine-grained control | 0.33s | Very detailed |
+| Dense annotations | 0.1s | Nearly every frame |
+
+**Rule of thumb**: Match your sampling interval to your typical skill duration.
+If skills last 1-3 seconds, sampling every 1 second captures each skill multiple times.

+# Example: Synthetic Data Generation with Sampling
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Test with 100 frames and 1 second sampling
+```bash
+python examples/dataset/annotate_pgen.py \
+    --data-dir /fsx/jade_choghari/.cache/huggingface/lerobot/lerobot/svla_so101_pickplace \
+    --model Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct \
+    --num-samples 100 \
+    --sample-interval 1.0 \
+    --output-dir ./outputs/test_pgen
+```
+
+**Expected behavior** (assuming 30 fps):
+- Total frames: 100
+- Frames sampled: ~4 (every 30 frames = 1 second)
+- Efficiency: 96% fewer VLM calls
+- Output: All 100 frames get `task_index_high_level`, but only 4 unique dialogues generated
+
+### 2. Process full dataset with different sampling rates
+
+#### Conservative (every 2 seconds)
+```bash
+python examples/dataset/annotate_pgen.py \
+    --data-dir /fsx/jade_choghari/.cache/huggingface/lerobot/lerobot/svla_so101_pickplace \
+    --model Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct \
+    --sample-interval 2.0 \
+    --output-dir ./outputs/pgen_2s
+```
+
+#### Standard (every 1 second) - **RECOMMENDED**
+```bash
+python examples/dataset/annotate_pgen.py \
+    --data-dir /fsx/jade_choghari/.cache/huggingface/lerobot/lerobot/svla_so101_pickplace \
+    --model Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct \
+    --sample-interval 1.0 \
+    --output-dir ./outputs/pgen_1s
+```
+
+#### Fine-grained (every 0.5 seconds)
+```bash
+python examples/dataset/annotate_pgen.py \
+    --data-dir /fsx/jade_choghari/.cache/huggingface/lerobot/lerobot/svla_so101_pickplace \
+    --model Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct \
+    --sample-interval 0.5 \
+    --output-dir ./outputs/pgen_0.5s
+```
+
+## Performance Estimates
+
+For a dataset with:
+- 100 episodes
+- 10 seconds per episode (average)
+- 30 fps
+- Total frames: 30,000
+
+| Sampling Interval | Frames Sampled | % Sampled | Speedup | Time Estimate |
+|-------------------|----------------|-----------|---------|---------------|
+| Every frame (0.033s) | 30,000 | 100% | 1x | ~10 hours |
+| 0.5 seconds | 2,000 | 6.7% | 15x | ~40 min |
+| **1.0 seconds** | **1,000** | **3.3%** | **30x** | **~20 min** |
+| 2.0 seconds | 500 | 1.7% | 60x | ~10 min |
+
+*Note: Times are approximate and depend on GPU, model size, and generation speed*
+
+## Understanding the Output
+
+### Console Output Example
+```
+[cyan]Generating synthetic data for 30000 frames...[/cyan]
+[cyan]Sampling interval: 1.0s (fps: 30)[/cyan]
+Generating synthetic dialogue: 100%|████████| 30000/30000 [20:15<00:00, 24.68it/s]
+[green]✓ Sampled 1000 frames out of 30000 (3.3%)[/green]
+[green]✓ Generated 450 unique high-level tasks[/green]
+```
+
+### What happens:
+1. **Frame 0 (t=0.0s)**: Generate dialogue → Task index 0
+2. **Frames 1-29 (t=0.033s-0.967s)**: Reuse task index 0
+3. **Frame 30 (t=1.0s)**: Generate new dialogue → Task index 1
+4. **Frames 31-59 (t=1.033s-1.967s)**: Reuse task index 1
+5. And so on...
+
+### Result:
+- Every frame has a `task_index_high_level`
+- Only sampled frames have unique dialogues generated
+- Intermediate frames inherit from the most recent sample
+- Maintains temporal coherence within episodes
+
+## Checking Your Results
+
+After running, verify the output:
+
+```bash
+# Check the generated tasks
+python -c "
+import pandas as pd
+from pathlib import Path
+
+tasks = pd.read_parquet('outputs/test_pgen/meta/tasks_high_level.parquet')
+print(f'Total unique tasks: {len(tasks)}')
+print(f'Sample tasks:')
+print(tasks[['user_prompt', 'robot_utterance', 'skill']].head())
+"
+
+# Check debug output
+head outputs/test_pgen/meta/syn_annotations.jsonl
+
+# Load and verify dataset
+python -c "
+from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
+
+ds = LeRobotDataset(repo_id='local_with_high_level_tasks', 
+                    root='outputs/test_pgen')
+print(f'Dataset has {len(ds)} frames')
+print(f'Features: {list(ds.features.keys())}')
+assert 'task_index_high_level' in ds.features
+print('✓ task_index_high_level feature added successfully!')
+"
+```
+
+## Common Use Cases
+
+### Development/Testing
+```bash
+--sample-interval 2.0  # Fast iteration
+--num-samples 500      # Small subset
+```
+
+### Production Training
+```bash
+--sample-interval 1.0  # Good coverage
+# Process all samples (no --num-samples)
+```
+
+### High-Quality Dataset
+```bash
+--sample-interval 0.5  # Fine-grained
+--temperature 0.6      # More consistent
+--model Qwen/Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Instruct  # Larger model
+```

+## One-sentence answer
+
+> `make_att_2d_masks(prefix_pad_masks, prefix_att_masks)` builds the **actual 2D attention mask** `[B, L, L]` that tells the transformer **which token positions may attend to which others**, combining **padding** and **causality**.
+
+Everything else you’ve seen so far was just metadata.
+
+---
+
+## What goes in
+
+### Inputs
+
+```python
+prefix_pad_masks   # shape [B, L]
+prefix_att_masks   # shape [B, L]
+```
+
+Where:
+
+* `prefix_pad_masks[b, i] = True`
+  → token `i` exists (not padding)
+
+* `prefix_att_masks[b, i] = False`
+  → token `i` is **bidirectional**
+
+* `prefix_att_masks[b, i] = True`
+  → token `i` is **causal (autoregressive)**
+
+---
+
+## What comes out
+
+```python
+att_2d_prefix  # shape [B, L, L]
+```
+
+Each entry:
+
+```text
+att_2d_prefix[b, i, j] = True
+```
+
+means:
+
+> “In batch `b`, **token i (query)** is allowed to attend to **token j (key)**.”
+
+---
+
+## How it is constructed (conceptually)
+
+For **each batch b**, **each query position i**, **each key position j**:
+
+```python
+if not prefix_pad_masks[b, j]:
+    att[b, i, j] = False           # cannot attend to padding
+else if not prefix_att_masks[b, i]:
+    att[b, i, j] = True            # bidirectional token → can see all real tokens
+else:
+    att[b, i, j] = (j <= i)        # causal token → can see only past + itself
+```
+
+That’s it.
+
+---
+
+## Tiny concrete example (exactly matching your code)
+
+Suppose:
+
+```python
+prefix_pad_masks[0] = [T, T, T, T, T, F]
+prefix_att_masks[0] = [F, F, F, T, T, T]
+```
+
+Tokens:
+
+```
+0: IMG
+1: IMG
+2: LANG
+3: SUB0
+4: SUB1
+5: PAD
+```
+
+---
+
+### Resulting `att_2d_prefix[0]`
+
+`✓ = True, ✗ = False`
+
+| Q \ K      | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
+| ---------- | - | - | - | - | - | - |
+| 0 (bi)     | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ |
+| 1 (bi)     | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ |
+| 2 (bi)     | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ |
+| 3 (causal) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ |
+| 4 (causal) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ |
+| 5 (pad)    | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
+
+---
+
+## Why this matters for your training code
+
+This line:
+
+```python
+att_2d_prefix_4d = self._prepare_attention_masks_4d(att_2d_prefix)
+```
+
+Converts `[B, L, L] → [B, 1, L, L]` and possibly flips True/False to `0/-inf`.
+
+This is **exactly what Paligemma uses inside self-attention**.
+
+---
+
+## Key implications (VERY important)
+
+### 1️⃣ This mask does **not isolate token groups**
+
+* Bidirectional tokens can attend to **everything**
+* Causal tokens only restrict *their own row*
+
+So **flow/action tokens must be blocked separately**.
+
+---
+
+### 2️⃣ This is why your AR subtask prediction works
+
+* Subtask tokens are causal
+* Output at position `i` predicts token `i+1`
+* Padding is fully ignored
+
+---
+
+### 3️⃣ Inference behavior
+
+When `subtask_tokens = None`:
+
+* `prefix_att_masks` contains only `False`
+* `att_2d_prefix` becomes **fully bidirectional**
+* No AR behavior remains
+
+Exactly what you want.
+
+---
+
+## One-sentence takeaway (commit this)
+
+> `make_att_2d_masks` fuses **padding** and **causality** into a concrete `[B, L, L]` attention matrix that the transformer actually uses.
+
+If you want next, I can:
+
+* inspect `make_att_2d_masks()` source with you
+* show how to block **flow → subtask** attention
+* explain how this changes when suffix tokens are added
+* help you refactor this into a cleaner “grouped attention” API
+
+You’re now at the point where the model’s behavior should feel *predictable*, not magical.

+Generate annotate_pgen.py using Qwen for synthetic data generation
+
+You are writing a Python script called annotate_pgen.py.
+This script generates synthetic user prompts (ℓ_t) and robot utterances (u_t) for Hi Robot–style hierarchical policy training, using Qwen 3vl as the generator model (pgen).
+
+SCRIPT PURPOSE
+
+The script must:
+
+Load Dlabeled which is a LeRobot Dataset that has been annotate using the annotate.py script, which contains:
+
+images: list of image paths at time t
+
+skill_current: the annotated skill label (ℓ̂_t)
+
+skill_history: list of previous skill labels (ℓ̂₀ … ℓ̂_{t−1}), those where annotated, and you can find details on them stored in teh dataset inside the the DATA_PATH/meta/skills.json
+
+you will find something like

+- The high-level task: {task_description}
+- Previous skill steps completed: {skill_history}
+- The next skill to be performed by the robot: {skill_current}
+
+Generate two things in JSON:
+1. "user_prompt": a natural-sounding user request that logically leads to the robot performing the skill "{skill_current}" given the task and history.
+2. "robot_utterance": a natural robot reply acknowledging or clarifying the request.
+
+The responses must be grounded in the visual scene, the task, and the skill history.
+
+Respond ONLY in JSON:
+{
+  "user_prompt": "...",
+  "robot_utterance": "..."
+}
+
+This resposne will have a corresponsing task_index, and the task will be saved in task.parqeut and you must update each dataset parquet in for example /fsx/jade_choghari/.cache/huggingface/lerobot/lerobot/svla_so101_pickplace/data/chunk-000/

+🎯 FINAL DELIVERABLE
+
+Cursor must now generate:

+It should be production-ready, runnable on real data, cleanly structured, and easy to modify.
+
+
+from the paper:
+Next, we use a large vision-language model (VLM) pgen
+to produce synthetic user prompts and interjections ℓt,
+and corresponding robot utterance ut. Given Dlabeled, we
+prompt pgen with both the visual context I1
+t ,...,In
+t and the
+skill labelˆ
+ℓt (e.g., pick up the lettuce). pgen then imag-
+ines an appropriate interaction that might have led toˆ
+ℓt in a
+real user interaction: it generates possible user prompts ℓt
+(e.g., “Can you add some lettuce for me?”) along with the
+robot’s verbal responses and clarifications ut. We detail the
+A. Synthetic Data Generation
+A.1. Scenario and Response Categorization
+To ensure the quality and diversity of the synthetic data,
+we incorporate structured scenario classification and re-
+sponse categorization into the prompt design for pgen, fol-
+lowing (Stephan et al., 2024). Specifically, we classify
+interactions into different scenario types, such as nega-
+tive task (where the user instructs the robot what not to
+do), situated correction (where the user adjusts an earlier
+command based on the evolving task state), and specific
+constraint (where the user specifies particular constraints,
+such as dietary preferences). In addition, we categorize
+the robot’s responses into types such as simple confirma-
+tions, clarifications, and error handling. These classifica-
+tions guide the generation process to ensure a broad range
+of user-robot interactions.
+A.2. Prompt Construction for Contextual Grounding
+In prompt P, we include a detailed description of the task
+(e.g., bussing a table, making a sandwich, grocery shop-
+ping) and instruct the model to ground responses in visual
+observations and prior context. A key advantage of lever-
+aging large pretrained VLMs is their ability to incorporate
+world knowledge when generating interactions. For in-
+stance, the model can infer dietary constraints when gener-
+ating prompts for sandwich-making, producing user com-
+mands such as “Can you make a sandwich for me? I’m
+lactose intolerant” and an appropriate robot response like
+“Sure, I won’t put cheese on it.” Similarly, it can reason
+over ambiguous or implicit requests, such as inferring that
+“I want something sweet” in a grocery shopping scenario
+should lead to suggestions like chocolate or candy.
+To maintain consistency in multi-step tasks, we condition
+pgen on prior skill labels within an episodeˆ
+ˆ
+ℓ0,...,
+ℓt−1,
+allowing it to generate coherent user commands that
+account for past actions. For instance, if the robot
+has already placed lettuce and tomato on a sandwich,
+the generated user prompt might request additional in-
+gredients that logically follow. This ensures that the
+synthetic interactions reflect realistic task progression
+rather than isolated commands. As such, we leverage
+ˆ
+ˆ
+ˆ
+pgen(ℓt,ut|I1
+t ,...,In
+t ,
+ℓ0,...,
+ℓt−1,
+ℓt,P) to produce a richer,
+more diverse synthetic dataset Dsyn that provides mean-
+ingful supervision for training our high-level policy.
+While in this work we generate a separate Dsyn and train
+a separate high-level policy for each task (e.g., sandwich
+making vs. table cleaning) for clarity and ease of bench-
+marking, the architecture is readily amenable to a unified
+multi-task formulation. In principle, the same hierarchical
+approach could be used to train a single high-level policy
+across a multitude of tasks, facilitating knowledge transfer
+
+
+The result should be a new LeRobotDataset with a new feature called task_index_high_level inside each dataset parquet

+SARM Subtask Annotation using local GPU (Qwen3-VL).
+
+This script implements the annotation approach from the SARM paper using local GPU inference:
+"SARM: Stage-Aware Reward Modeling for Long Horizon Robot Manipulation"
+Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2509.25358
+
+What it does:
+1. Takes videos from a LeRobot dataset
+2. Uses Qwen3-VL running locally on GPU to identify when subtasks occur
+3. Saves subtask timestamps to the dataset metadata
+4. Optionally pushes the annotated dataset to HuggingFace Hub
+
+SARM trains reward models that predict:
+  - Stage: Which subtask is currently being executed (discrete classification)
+  - Progress: How far along the subtask we are (continuous 0-1)
+
+Supports three annotation modes:
+  1. No annotations (no args): Auto-creates single sparse "task" stage covering full episode.
+     Use with SARM config annotation_mode="single_stage" for simple tasks.
+
+  2. Dense-only (--dense-only --dense-subtasks): Dense annotations from VLM, auto-generated
+     single sparse "task" stage. Use with annotation_mode="dense_only".
+
+  3. Dual mode (--sparse-subtasks + --dense-subtasks): Both sparse and dense annotations
+     from VLM. Use with annotation_mode="dual".
+
+Requirements:
+  - GPU with sufficient VRAM (16GB+ recommended for 30B model)
+  - `pip install transformers, torch, qwen-vl-utils`
+
+Run with:
+```bash
+python examples/dataset_annotation/subtask_annotation.py \
+  --repo-id your-username/your-dataset \
+  --sparse-subtasks "Do ..." \
+  --dense-subtasks "Do task 1, Do task 2, Do task 3" \

+        # Role
+        You are a Robotics Vision System specializing in temporal action localization for robot manipulation. Your job is to segment a single demonstration video into distinct, non-overlapping atomic actions from a fixed subtask list.
+
+        # Subtask Label Set (Closed Vocabulary)
+        You must strictly identify the video segments using ONLY the following labels. Do not create new labels or modify existing ones:
+
+        [
+        {subtask_str}
+        ]
+
+        The video shows one successful execution of all subtasks in a logical order.
+
+        # Ground-Truth Semantics (Very Important)
+        Use **visual state changes** to define when a subtask starts and ends. Do NOT assume equal durations for the subtasks.
+
+        - A subtask **starts** at the first frame where the robot's motion clearly initiates that subtask.
+        - A subtask **ends** at the first frame where that specific action is visually completed and the manipulated object reaches a temporary, stable configuration.
+
+        If there are short pauses or micro-motions that don't clearly correspond to a new subtask, they belong to the **current** subtask.
+
+        # Hard Constraints & Logic
+        1. **Continuous Coverage (No Gaps):**
+           - The entire video duration from "00:00" to the final timestamp must be covered by subtasks.
+           - There can be no gaps between subtasks.
+           - If there is any idle or ambiguous time between clear actions, extend the *preceding* subtask to cover it.
+
+        2. **Boundary Consistency:**
+           - The `"end"` timestamp of one subtask must be exactly equal to the `"start"` timestamp of the next subtask.
+           - Boundaries must coincide with a real visual state transition, not just a convenient time split.
+
+        3. **Chronological Order, One Occurrence Each:**
+           - This is a single successful demonstration.
+           - Each subtask from the vocabulary appears **exactly once**, in the correct logical order.
+           - **Durations may be very different** between subtasks. Never assume they are similar lengths. Base all boundaries only on the video.
+
+        4. **Reject Uniform Segmentation (Important):**
+           - Do NOT simply divide the video into equal or nearly equal time chunks.
+           - If your boundaries would result in subtasks with similar durations (e.g. all around 5 seconds), treat this as evidence that your segmentation is wrong and refine the boundaries.
+           - Only use nearly equal durations if the video truly shows each subtask taking the same amount of time (this is very rare).
+
+        5. **Timestamps:**
+           - Timestamps must be in `"MM:SS"` format.
+           - The first subtask always starts at `"00:00"`.
+           - The last subtask ends at the final visible frame of the video.
+
+        # Step 1 — Textual Timeline (must do this first)
+        First, write a extensive and detailed textual timeline describing what happens in the video with approximate timestamps.
+        For each subtask, include:
+        - its name
+        - an approximate start and end time,
+        - an description of the visual event at the boundary (e.g. "shirt fully folded to the left", "robot rotates folded shirt 90 degrees").
+
+        Format this as a bullet list.
+
+        # Step 2 — JSON Output (final answer)
+        After the textual timeline, output **only** valid JSON with this structure.
+        The JSON **must** be consistent with the textual timeline above:
+
+        {{
+          "subtasks": [
+            {{
+              "name": "EXACT_NAME_FROM_LIST",
+              "timestamps": {{
+                "start": "MM:SS",

+            }}
+          ]
+        }}

+# Voice Assistant Examples
+
+Voice-enabled robot assistant examples using speech-to-text (STT), and text-to-speech (TTS).
+
+## Overview
+
+These examples demonstrate how to build a voice interface for robot control:
+
+1. **Hold SPACE** → Push-to-talk recording starts
+2. **Release SPACE** → Recording stops
+3. **STT (Whisper)** → Converts speech to text (high-level task prompt)
+4. **Pi0.5** → Generates robot response/utterance
+5. **TTS (Kokoro)** → Speaks the response back
+
+## Requirements
+
+```bash
+pip install torch transformers sounddevice numpy pynput kokoro>=0.9.2
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### With Pi0.5 Model
+
+```bash
+python examples/voice_assistant/voice_assistant_pi05.py \
+    --pretrained_path path/to/pi05/checkpoint
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Pi0.5 Voice Integration
+
+Pi0.5 can generate robot utterances as part of its subtask prediction. The flow:
+
+1. **High-level prompt**: User voice command is transcribed and formatted as a task prompt
+2. **Subtask generation**: Pi0.5 autoregressively generates a response
+3. **Utterance extraction**: If the response contains `<utterance>...</utterance>` tags, the content is extracted
+4. **TTS output**: The response is spoken back to the user
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+| Option | Default | Description |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| `--pretrained_path` | None | Path to Pi0.5 checkpoint |
+| `--record_seconds` | 5.0 | Audio recording duration |
+| `--max_response_tokens` | 100 | Max tokens in generated response |

+Voice Assistant with Pi0.5: Microphone → STT → Pi0.5 → TTS → Speaker
+
+This example demonstrates how to use Pi0.5 as a conversational robot assistant:

+# FAST Tokenizer Training for LeRobotDataset
+
+This directory contains tools for training a FAST (Factorized Action Sequence Tokenizer) on LeRobot datasets.
+
+## Files
+
+- **`train_fast_tokenizer.py`**: Main training script (refactored for LeRobotDataset)
+- **`train_fast_tokenizer_example.md`**: Usage examples and parameter documentation
+- **`MIGRATION_NOTES.md`**: Migration guide from B1K to LeRobotDataset
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Basic usage
+python train_fast_tokenizer.py \
+    --repo_id "lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human" \
+    --action_horizon 10 \
+    --encoded_dims "0:14"
+
+# With delta transform
+python train_fast_tokenizer.py \
+    --repo_id "lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human" \
+    --action_horizon 10 \
+    --encoded_dims "0:14" \
+    --delta_dims "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13" \
+    --state_key "observation.state" \
+    --vocab_size 1024
+```
+
+## What is FAST?
+
+FAST is a tokenizer for robotic action sequences that:
+1. Applies DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) to action chunks
+2. Quantizes DCT coefficients 
+3. Uses BPE (Byte-Pair Encoding) to compress the quantized sequence
+4. Achieves high compression ratios (e.g., 10-20x) while maintaining accuracy
+
+This enables efficient storage and processing of long action sequences in vision-language-action models.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.10+
+- LeRobot dataset (either local or from HuggingFace Hub)
+- transformers (for AutoProcessor)
+- numpy
+- torch
+- tyro
+
+## Workflow
+
+```
+LeRobotDataset → Extract Episodes → Apply Delta Transform 
+    ↓
+Select Dimensions → Normalize (q01, q99) → Create Chunks
+    ↓
+Train FAST Tokenizer → Compute Stats → Save
+```
+
+## Parameters Guide
+
+### Essential Parameters
+
+- **`repo_id`**: HuggingFace dataset repository ID
+  - Example: `"lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human"`
+  
+- **`action_horizon`**: Length of action sequences to tokenize
+  - Typical: 10-16 steps
+  
+- **`encoded_dims`**: Which action dimensions to encode
+  - Format: `"start:end,start:end"`
+  - Example: `"0:7"` = dimensions 0-6
+  - Example: `"0:3,7:10"` = dimensions 0-2 and 7-9
+
+### Optional Parameters
+
+- **`delta_dims`**: Apply delta transform (action - state) to these dimensions
+  - Format: `"0,1,2,3,4,5"`
+  - Use for position-based actions
+  
+- **`state_key`**: Dataset key containing state observations
+  - Default: `"observation.state"`
+  
+- **`vocab_size`**: BPE vocabulary size
+  - Default: 1024
+  - Larger = better compression but more memory
+  
+- **`scale`**: DCT quantization scale
+  - Default: 10.0
+  - Smaller = finer quantization, larger = coarser
+
+- **`sample_fraction`**: Fraction of action chunks to use per episode
+  - Default: 0.1 (10%)
+  - Increase for small datasets, decrease for large datasets
+
+## Output
+
+The script creates a directory (default: `./fast_tokenizer_{repo_id}`) containing:
+
+1. **Tokenizer files**: Can be loaded with `AutoProcessor.from_pretrained()`
+2. **`metadata.json`**: Contains:
+   - Training configuration
+   - Compression statistics
+   - Dataset information
+
+## Example Output
+
+```
+Loading dataset: lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human
+Dataset loaded: 50 episodes, 5000 frames
+Encoding 14 dimensions: 0:14
+Delta dimensions: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]

+
+After normalization - overall stats:
+  Min: -1.0000, Max: 1.0000, Mean: 0.0156, Std: 0.4321
+
+Training FAST tokenizer on 4500 action chunks...
+Action chunk shape: (4500, 10, 14)
+Vocab size: 1024
+DCT scale: 10.0
+✓ Tokenizer training complete!
+
+Compression Statistics:
+  Average compression ratio: 14.23x
+  Mean token length: 9.8
+  P99 token length: 15
+  Min token length: 6
+  Max token length: 18
+
+✅ Saved FAST tokenizer to ./fast_tokenizer_lerobot_aloha_sim_insertion_human
+```
+
+## Using the Trained Tokenizer
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoProcessor
+
+# Load tokenizer
+tokenizer = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
+    "./fast_tokenizer_lerobot_aloha_sim_insertion_human",
+    trust_remote_code=True
+)
+
+# Encode action chunk [horizon, action_dim]
+action_chunk = np.random.randn(10, 14)  # Example
+tokens = tokenizer(action_chunk[None])[0]  # Returns token IDs
+
+# Decode tokens back to actions
+reconstructed = tokenizer.decode(tokens)
+```
+
+## Tips
+
+1. **Start Small**: Use `--max_episodes 10` for initial testing
+2. **Check Dimensions**: Verify encoded dimensions match your robot's action space
+3. **Delta Transform**: Use for position-based actions, not velocity-based
+4. **Normalization**: Ensure dataset has proper statistics computed
+5. **Compression Ratio**: Aim for 10-20x for good balance of compression and accuracy
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Issue**: "No normalization stats found"
+- **Solution**: Compute dataset statistics first, or use raw actions
+
+**Issue**: "Episode too short for action horizon"
+- **Solution**: Reduce `--action_horizon` or filter short episodes
+
+**Issue**: "State key not found"
+- **Solution**: Check dataset features and use correct `--state_key`
+
+**Issue**: Memory error with large datasets
+- **Solution**: Reduce `--sample_fraction` or `--max_episodes`

+# Train FAST Tokenizer - Usage Examples
+
+This script trains a FAST (Factorized Action Sequence Tokenizer) on LeRobotDataset action data.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/policies/pi05/train_fast_tokenizer.py \
+    --repo_id "lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human" \
+    --action_horizon 10 \
+    --encoded_dims "0:7" \
+    --vocab_size 1024 \
+    --scale 10.0
+```
+
+## Parameters
+
+### Required
+- `--repo_id`: LeRobot dataset repository ID (e.g., "lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human")
+
+### Optional
+- `--root`: Root directory for dataset (default: ~/.cache/huggingface/lerobot)
+- `--action_horizon`: Number of future actions in each chunk (default: 10)
+- `--max_episodes`: Maximum number of episodes to use (default: None = all)
+- `--sample_fraction`: Fraction of chunks to sample per episode (default: 0.1)
+- `--encoded_dims`: Comma-separated dimension ranges to encode (default: "0:6,7:23")
+  - Example: "0:7" encodes dimensions 0-6
+  - Example: "0:3,6:9" encodes dimensions 0-2 and 6-8
+- `--delta_dims`: Comma-separated dimension indices for delta transform (default: None)
+  - Example: "0,1,2,3,4,5" applies delta transform to first 6 dimensions
+  - Delta transform: action[i] - state[i] for specified dimensions
+- `--state_key`: Dataset key for state observations (default: "observation.state")
+- `--vocab_size`: FAST vocabulary size / BPE vocab size (default: 1024)
+- `--scale`: DCT scaling factor (default: 10.0)
+- `--output_dir`: Directory to save tokenizer (default: ./fast_tokenizer_{repo_id})
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Train on full action space
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/policies/pi05/train_fast_tokenizer.py \
+    --repo_id "lerobot/pusht" \
+    --action_horizon 16 \
+    --encoded_dims "0:2" \
+    --vocab_size 512 \
+    --max_episodes 100
+```
+
+### Example 2: Train with delta transform
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/policies/pi05/train_fast_tokenizer.py \
+    --repo_id "lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human" \
+    --action_horizon 10 \
+    --encoded_dims "0:14" \
+    --delta_dims "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13" \
+    --state_key "observation.state" \
+    --vocab_size 1024 \
+    --scale 10.0 \
+    --sample_fraction 0.2
+```
+
+### Example 3: Train on subset of dimensions
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/policies/pi05/train_fast_tokenizer.py \
+    --repo_id "lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human" \
+    --action_horizon 10 \
+    --encoded_dims "0:7" \
+    --vocab_size 1024 \
+    --output_dir "./my_tokenizer"
+```
+
+## Output
+
+The script saves:
+1. **Tokenizer files**: Trained FAST tokenizer (can be loaded with `AutoProcessor.from_pretrained()`)
+2. **metadata.json**: Contains:
+   - Configuration parameters
+   - Compression statistics (compression ratio, token lengths)
+   - Training dataset information
+
+## Understanding the Process
+
+1. **Load Dataset**: Loads the LeRobotDataset from HuggingFace
+2. **Extract Action Chunks**: Creates sliding windows of actions with specified horizon
+3. **Apply Delta Transform**: (Optional) Computes action deltas relative to current state
+4. **Select Encoded Dimensions**: Extracts only the dimensions to be encoded
+5. **Normalize**: Applies quantile normalization ([q01, q99] → [-1, 1])
+6. **Train Tokenizer**: Trains BPE tokenizer on DCT coefficients
+7. **Compute Stats**: Reports compression ratio and token length statistics
+8. **Save**: Saves tokenizer and metadata
+
+## Notes
+
+- **Normalization**: The script uses quantile normalization (q01, q99) from the dataset's statistics
+- **Sampling**: To speed up training, you can sample a fraction of chunks per episode
+- **Delta Transform**: Applied per-dimension to make actions relative to current state
+- **Compression**: FAST uses DCT + BPE to compress action sequences efficiently
