+# The LeRobotDataset Format
+
+`LeRobotDataset` is a standardized dataset format designed to address the specific needs of robot learning research.
+In this, it provides a unified and convenient access to robotics data across modalities, including sensorimotor readings, multiple camera feeds and teleoperation status.
+`LeRobotDataset` also stores general information regarding the data collected, like the task being performed by the teleoperator, the kind of robot used and measurement details like the frames per second at which the recording of both image and robot state's streams are proceeding.
+
+Therefore, `LeRobotDataset` provides a unified interface for handling multi-modal, time-series data, and it integrates seamlessly with the PyTorch and Hugging Face ecosystems.
+`LeRobotDataset` is designed to be easily extensible and customizable by users, and it already supports openly available data coming from a variety of embodiments, ranging from manipulator platforms like the SO-100 and ALOHA-2, to real-world humanoid data, simulation datasets and self-driving car datasets.
+This dataset format is built to be both efficient for training and flexible enough to accommodate the diverse data types encountered in robotics, while promoting reproducibility and ease of use for users.
+
+## The Format's Design
+
+A core design choice behind `LeRobotDataset` is separating the underlying data storage from the user-facing API.
+This allows for efficient serialization and storage while presenting the data in an intuitive, ready-to-use format.
+A dataset is always organized into three main components:
+
+1.  **Tabular Data**: Low-dimensional, high-frequency data such as joint states, and actions are stored in efficient [Apache Parquet](https://parquet.apache.org/) files, and typically offloaded to the more mature `datasets` library, providing fast, memory-mapped access.
+2.  **Visual Data**: To handle large volumes of camera data, frames are concatenated and encoded into MP4 files. Frames from the same episode are always grouped together into the same video, and multiple videos are grouped together by camera. To reduce stress on the file system, groups of videos for the same camera view are also broke into multiple sub-directories, after a given threshold number.
+3.  **Metadata**: A collection of JSON files which describes the dataset's structure in terms of its metadata, serving as the relational counterpart to both the tabular and visual dimensions of data. Metadata include the different feature schemas, frame rates, normalization statistics, and episode boundaries.
+
+For scalability, and to support datasets with potentially millions of trajectories resulting in hundreads of millions or billions of individual camera frames, we merge data from different episodes into the same high-level structure.
+Concretely, this means that any given tabular collection and video will not typically contain information about one episode only, but rather a concatenation of the information available in multiple episodes.
+This keeps the pressure on the file system, both locally and on remote storage providers like Hugging Face, manageable, at the expense of leveraging more heavily the metadata part of the data, e.g. used to reconstruct information relative to at which position a given episode starts or ends.
+An example structure for a given `LeRobotDataset` would appear as follows:
+
+```bash
+lerobot/svla_so101_pickplace
+├── data/
+│   └── chunk-000/
+│       ├── file_000000.parquet
+│       └── ...
+├── meta/
+│   ├── episodes/
+│   │   ├── chunk-000/
+│   │   │   └── file_000000.parquet
+│   │   └── ...
+│   ├── info.json
+│   ├── stats.json
+│   └── tasks.jsonl
+└── videos/
+    └── chunk-000/
+        ├── observation.images.wrist_camera/
+        │   ├── file_000000.mp4
+        │   └── ...
+        └── ...
+```
+
+- **`meta/info.json`**: This is the central metadata file. It contains the complete dataset schema, defining all features (e.g., `observation.state`, `action`), their shapes, and data types. It also stores crucial information like the dataset's frames-per-second (`fps`), codebase version, and the path templates used to locate data and video files.
+- **`meta/stats.json`**: This file stores aggregated statistics (mean, std, min, max) for each feature across the entire dataset. These are used for data normalization and are accessible via `dataset.meta.stats`.
+- **`meta/tasks.jsonl`**: Contains the mapping from natural language task descriptions to integer task indices, which are used for task-conditioned policy training.
+- **`meta/episodes/`**: This directory contains metadata about each individual episode, such as its length, corresponding task, and pointers to where its data is stored. For scalability, this information is stored in chunked Parquet files rather than a single large JSON file.
+- **`data/`**: Contains the core frame-by-frame tabular data in Parquet files. To improve performance and handle large datasets, data from **multiple episodes are concatenated into larger files**. These files are organized into chunked subdirectories to keep file sizes manageable. Therefore, a single file typically contains data for more than one episode.
+- **`videos/`**: Contains the MP4 video files for all visual observation streams. Similar to the `data/` directory, video footage from **multiple episodes is concatenated into single MP4 files**. This strategy significantly reduces the number of files in the dataset, which is more efficient for modern filesystems. The path structure (`/videos/<camera_key>/<chunk>/file_...mp4`) allows the data loader to locate the correct video file and then seek to the precise timestamp for a given frame.
+
+## Code Example: Using `LeRobotDataset` with `torch.utils.data.DataLoader`
+
+This section provides an overview of how to access datasets hosted on Hugging Face using the `LeRobotDataset` class.
+Every dataset on the Hugging Face Hub containing the three main pillars presented above (Tabular and Visual Data, as well as relational Metadata) can be assessed with a single line.
+Most reinforcement learning (RL) and behavioral cloning (BC) algorithms tend to operate on stack of observation and actions.
+For instance, RL algorithms typically use a history of previous observations `[o_{t-H}, ..., o_{t}]` to mitigate partial observability.
+BC cloning algorithms are instead typically trained to regress chunks of multiple actions rather than single controls.
+To accommodate for the specifics of robot learning training, `LeRobotDataset` provides a native windowing operation, whereby we can use the _seconds_ before and after any given observation using `delta_timestamps`.
+Non available frames is opportuninely padded, with a padding mask released to provide support in this.
+Notably, this all happens within the `LeRobotDataset` and is entitrely transparent to higher level wrappers such as `torch.utils.data.DataLoader`.
+
+Conveniently, by using `LeRobotDataset` with a Pytorch `DataLoader` one can automatically collate the individual sample dictionaries from the dataset into a single dictionary of batched tensors.
+
+```python
+from lerobot.datasets import LeRobotDataset
+
+# Load from the Hugging Face Hub (will be cached locally)
+dataset = LeRobotDataset("lerobot/svla_so101_pickplace")
+
+# Get the 100th frame in the dataset by
+sample = dataset[100]
+print(sample)
+# The sample is a dictionary of tensors
+# {
+#     'observation.state': tensor([...]),
+#     'action': tensor([...]),
+#     'observation.images.wrist_camera': tensor([C, H, W]),
+#     'timestamp': tensor(1.234),
+#     ...
+# }
+delta_timestamps = {
+    "observation.images.wrist_camera": [-0.2, -0.1, 0.0]  # 0.2, and 0.1 seconds *before* any observation
+}
+dataset = LeRobotDataset(
+    "lerobot/svla_so101_pickplace",
+    delta_timestamps=delta_timestamps
+)
+
+# Accessing an index now returns a stack of frames for the specified key
+sample = dataset[100]
+
+# The image tensor will now have a time dimension
+# 'observation.images.wrist_camera' has shape [T, C, H, W], where T=3
+print(sample['observation.images.wrist_camera'].shape)
+
+batch_size=16
+# wrap the dataset in a DataLoader to use process it batches for training purposes
+data_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
+    dataset,
+    batch_size=batch_size
+)
+
+# 3. Iterate over the DataLoader in a training loop
+num_epochs = 1
+device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
+
+for epoch in range(num_epochs):
+    for batch in data_loader:
+        # 'batch' is a dictionary where each value is a batch of tensors.
+        # For example, batch['action'] will have a shape of [32, action_dim].
+
+        # If using delta_timestamps, a batched image tensor might have a
+        # shape of [32, T, C, H, W].
+
+        # Move data to the appropriate device (e.g., GPU)
+        observations = batch['observation.state'].to(device)
+        actions = batch['action'].to(device)
+        images = batch['observation.images.wrist_camera'].to(device)
+
+        # Next do amazing_model.forward(batch)
+        ...
+```
+
+## Streaming
+
+`LeRobotDataset` now also supports streaming mode.
+You can stream of data from a large dataset hosted on the Hugging Face Hub by just replacing the dataset definition with:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.datasets.streaming_dataset import StreamingLeRobotDataset
+
+# Streams frames from the Hugging Face Hub
+dataset = StreamingLeRobotDataset("lerobot/svla_so101_pickplace")
+```
+
+Streaming datasets supports high-performance batch processing (ca. 80-100 it/s, varying on connectivity) and high levels of frames randomization: a key feature for behavioral cloning algorithms otherwise operating on highly non-i.i.d. data.

-# Implement your own Robot Processor
-
-In this tutorial, you'll learn how to implement your own Robot Processor.
-It begins by exploring the need for a custom processor, then uses the Normalization processors as the running example to explain how to implement, configure, and serialize a processor. Finally, it lists all helper processors that ship with LeRobot.
-
-## Why would you need a custom processor?
-
-In most cases, when reading raw data from a sensor like the camera and robot motor encoders,
-you will need to process this data to transform it into a format that is compatible to use with the policies in LeRobot.
-For example, raw images are encoded with `uint8` and the values are in the range `[0, 255]`.
-To use these images with the policies, you will need to cast them to `float32` and normalize them to the range `[0, 1]`.
-
-For example, in LeRobot's `VanillaObservationProcessor`, raw images come from the environment as numpy arrays with `uint8` values in range `[0, 255]` and in channel-last format `(H, W, C)`. The processor transforms them into PyTorch tensors with `float32` values in range `[0, 1]` and channel-first format `(C, H, W)`:
-
-```python
-# Input: numpy array with shape (480, 640, 3) and dtype uint8
-raw_image = env_observation["pixels"]  # Values in [0, 255]
-
-# After processing: torch tensor with shape (1, 3, 480, 640) and dtype float32
-processed_image = processor(transition)["observation"]["observation.image"]  # Values in [0, 1]
-```
-
-On the other hand, when a model returns a certain action to be executed on the robot, it is often that one has to post-process this action to make it compatible to run on the robot.
-For example, the model might return joint positions values that range from `[-1, 1]` and one would need to scale them to the ranges of the minimum and maximum joint angle positions of the robot.
-
-In LeRobot, this normalization workflow is handled by the `NormalizerProcessor` (for inputs) and the `UnnormalizerProcessor` (for outputs). These processors are heavily used by policies (e.g., Pi0, SmolVLA) and integrate tightly with the `RobotProcessor`'s `get_config`, `state_dict`, and `load_state_dict` APIs.
-
-For instance, `UnnormalizerProcessor` converts model outputs in `[-1, 1]` back to actual robot joint ranges:
-
-```python
-# Input: model action with normalized values in [-1, 1]
-normalized_action = torch.tensor([-0.5, 0.8, -1.0, 0.2])  # Model output
-
-# After post-processing: real joint positions in robot's native ranges
-# Example: joints range from [-180.0, 180.0]
-real_action = unnormalizer(transition)["action"]
-# real action after post-processing: [ -90.,  144., -180.,   36.]
-```
-
-The unnormalizer uses the dataset statistics to convert back:
-
-```python
-# For MIN_MAX normalization: action = (normalized + 1) * (max - min) / 2 + min
-real_action = (normalized_action + 1) * (max_val - min_val) / 2 + min_val
-```
-
-All these situations point us towards the need for a mechanism to preprocess the data before being passed to the policies and then post-process the action that are returned to be executed on the robot.
-
-To that end, LeRobot provides a pipeline mechanism to implement a sequence of processing steps for the input data and the output action.
-
-## How to implement your own processor?
-
-We'll use the `NormalizerProcessor` as a concrete running example because it is central to most policies and demonstrates configuration and state serialization cleanly.
-
-Prepare the sequence of processing steps necessary for your problem. A processor step is a class that implements the following methods:
-
- `__call__`: implements the processing step for the input transition.
- `get_config`: gets the configuration of the processor step.
- `state_dict`: gets the state of the processor step.
- `load_state_dict`: loads the state of the processor step.
- `reset`: resets the state of the processor step.
- `feature_contract`: displays the modification to the feature space during the processor step.
-
-### Implement the `__call__` method
-
-The `__call__` method is the core of your processor step. It takes an `EnvTransition` and returns a modified `EnvTransition`. Here's how the `NormalizerProcessor` conceptually works (simplified):
-
-```python
-from dataclasses import dataclass
-import torch
-from lerobot.configs.types import FeatureType, NormalizationMode, PolicyFeature
-from lerobot.processor.pipeline import EnvTransition, TransitionKey
-
-@dataclass
-class NormalizerProcessor:
-    features: dict[str, PolicyFeature]
-    norm_map: dict[FeatureType, NormalizationMode]
-    stats: dict[str, dict[str, torch.Tensor]]
-    eps: float = 1e-8
-
-    def __call__(self, transition: EnvTransition) -> EnvTransition:
-        normalized_info = {}
-
-        obs = transition.get(TransitionKey.OBSERVATION)
-        act = transition.get(TransitionKey.ACTION)
-
-        new_obs = self._normalize_observation(obs, normalized_info)
-        new_act = self._normalize_action(act, normalized_info)
-
-        new_transition = transition.copy()
-        new_transition[TransitionKey.OBSERVATION] = new_obs
-        new_transition[TransitionKey.ACTION] = new_act
-
-        # Record what was normalized into complementary_data
-        if normalized_info:
-            comp = new_transition.get(TransitionKey.COMPLEMENTARY_DATA) or {}
-            comp = dict(comp)
-            comp["normalized_keys"] = normalized_info
-            new_transition[TransitionKey.COMPLEMENTARY_DATA] = comp
-
-        return new_transition
-```
-
-See the full implementation in `src/lerobot/processor/normalize_processor.py` for details on mean/std and min/max modes and key selection.
-
-**Key principles:**
-
- Always check if required data exists before processing
- Return unchanged transition if no processing is needed
- Use `transition.copy()` to avoid side effects
- Only modify the specific keys your processor handles
-
-**Tip**: For observation-only processors, you can inherit from `ObservationProcessor` to avoid writing `__call__` boilerplate. The normalizer is mixed (observations and actions), so it implements `__call__` directly.
-
-### Configuration and State Management
-
-Processors support serialization through three methods that separate configuration from tensor state. This is especially important for normalization processors, which carry dataset statistics (tensors) in their state, and hyperparameters in their config:
-
-```python
-from dataclasses import dataclass, field
-from typing import Any
-import torch
-from lerobot.configs.types import FeatureType, NormalizationMode, PolicyFeature
-
-@dataclass
-class NormalizerProcessor:
-    features: dict[str, PolicyFeature]
-    norm_map: dict[FeatureType, NormalizationMode]
-    eps: float = 1e-8
-    _tensor_stats: dict[str, dict[str, torch.Tensor]] = field(default_factory=dict, init=False, repr=False)
-
-    def get_config(self) -> dict[str, Any]:
-        """JSON-serializable configuration (no tensors)."""
-        return {
-            "eps": self.eps,
-            "features": {k: {"type": v.type.value, "shape": v.shape} for k, v in self.features.items()},
-            "norm_map": {ft.value: nm.value for ft, nm in self.norm_map.items()},
-        }
-
-    def state_dict(self) -> dict[str, torch.Tensor]:
-        """Tensor state only (e.g., dataset statistics)."""
-        flat: dict[str, torch.Tensor] = {}
-        for key, sub in self._tensor_stats.items():
-            for stat_name, tensor in sub.items():
-                flat[f"{key}.{stat_name}"] = tensor
-        return flat
-
-    def load_state_dict(self, state: dict[str, torch.Tensor]) -> None:
-        """Restore tensor state at runtime."""
-        self._tensor_stats.clear()
-        for flat_key, tensor in state.items():
-            key, stat_name = flat_key.rsplit(".", 1)
-            self._tensor_stats.setdefault(key, {})[stat_name] = tensor
-```
-
-**Usage:**
-
-```python
-# Save (e.g., inside a policy)
-config = processor.get_config()
-tensors = processor.state_dict()
-
-# Restore (e.g., loading a pretrained policy)
-new_processor = NormalizerProcessor(**config)
-new_processor.load_state_dict(tensors)
-```
-
-### Transform features
-
-The `transform_features` method defines how your processor transforms feature names and shapes. This is crucial for policy configuration and debugging.
-
-Normalization typically preserves the feature keys and shapes, so `NormalizerProcessor.transform_features` returns the input features unchanged. When your processor renames or reshapes, implement this method to reflect the mapping for downstream components. For example, a simple rename processor:
-
-```python
-def transform_features(self, features: dict[str, PolicyFeature]) -> dict[str, PolicyFeature]:
-    # Simple renaming
-    if "pixels" in features:
-        features["observation.image"] = features.pop("pixels")
-
-    # Pattern-based renaming
-    for key in list(features.keys()):
-        if key.startswith("env_state."):
-            suffix = key[len("env_state."):]
-            features[f"observation.{suffix}"] = features.pop(key)
-
-    return features
-```
-
-**Key principles:**
-
- Use `features.pop(old_key)` to remove and get the old feature
- Use `features[new_key] = old_feature` to add the renamed feature
- Always return the modified features dictionary
- Document transformations clearly in the docstring
-
-### Example of usage from the codebase
-
-`transform_features` is used by `RobotProcessor` to derive the dataset/policy feature contract from an initial feature set by applying each step's transformation. You can see concrete examples in the codebase:
-
- Phone teleoperation record pipeline (`examples/phone_so100_record.py`): processors like `ForwardKinematicsJointsToEE`, `GripperVelocityToJoint`, and `EEBoundsAndSafety` implement `transform_features` to declare which action/observation keys should be materialized in the dataset.
- SO100 follower kinematics (`src/lerobot/robots/so100_follower/robot_kinematic_processor.py`): each processor's `transform_features` method adds or refines feature keys such as `observation.state.ee.{x,y,z,wx,wy,wz}` or `action.gripper.pos`.
- Rename and tokenizer processors (`src/lerobot/processor/rename_processor.py`, `src/lerobot/processor/tokenizer_processor.py`): demonstrate key renaming and adding language token features to the contract.
-
-In practice, you will often aggregate features by running `RobotProcessor.transform_features(...)` with your initial features to compute the final contract before recording or training.
-
-## Helper Classes
-
-LeRobot provides pre-built processor classes for common transformations. Below is a comprehensive list of registered processors in the codebase.
-
-### Core processors (observations, actions, normalization)
-
- **`VanillaObservationProcessor`** (`observation_processor`): Images and state processing to LeRobot format.
- **`NormalizerProcessor`** (`normalizer_processor`): Normalize observations/actions (mean/std or min/max to [-1, 1]).
- **`UnnormalizerProcessor`** (`unnormalizer_processor`): Inverse of the normalizer for model outputs.
- **`DeviceProcessor`** (`device_processor`): Move tensors to a specific device (CPU/GPU) and optional float dtype.
- **`ToBatchProcessor`** (`to_batch_processor`): Add batch dimension to observations/actions when missing.
- **`RenameProcessor`** (`rename_processor`): Rename observation keys using a mapping dictionary.
- **`TokenizerProcessor`** (`tokenizer_processor`): Tokenize language tasks into `observation.language.*` tensors.
-
-### Teleoperation mapping processors
-
- **`MapDeltaActionToRobotAction`** (`map_delta_action_to_robot_action`): Map teleop deltas (e.g., gamepad) to `action.target_*` fields.
- **`MapPhoneActionToRobotAction`** (`map_phone_action_to_robot_action`): Map calibrated phone pose/buttons to `action.target_*` and gripper.
-
-### Robot kinematics processors (SO100 follower example)
-
- **`EEReferenceAndDelta`** (`ee_reference_and_delta`): Compute desired EE pose from target deltas and current pose.
- **`EEBoundsAndSafety`** (`ee_bounds_and_safety`): Clip EE pose to bounds and check for jumps.
- **`InverseKinematicsEEToJoints`** (`inverse_kinematics_ee_to_joints`): Convert EE pose to joint targets via IK.
- **`GripperVelocityToJoint`** (`gripper_velocity_to_joint`): Convert gripper velocity input to joint position command.
- **`ForwardKinematicsJointsToEE`** (`forward_kinematics_joints_to_ee`): Compute EE pose features from joint positions via FK.
- **`AddRobotObservationAsComplimentaryData`** (`add_robot_observation`): Read robot observation and insert `raw_joint_positions` into complementary data.
-
-### Policy-specific utility processors
-
- **`Pi0NewLineProcessor`** (`pi0_new_line_processor`): Ensure text tasks end with a newline (Pi0 tokenizer compatibility).
- **`SmolVLANewLineProcessor`** (`smolvla_new_line_processor`): Ensure text tasks end with a newline (SmolVLA tokenizer compatibility).
-
-### Usage Example
-
-```python
-from lerobot.processor import NormalizerProcessor, DeviceProcessor, RobotProcessor, ToBatchProcessor
-
-# Create a processing pipeline (typical policy preprocessor)
-steps = [
-    NormalizerProcessor(features=features, norm_map=norm_map, stats=stats),
-    ToBatchProcessor(),
-    DeviceProcessor(device="cuda"),
-]
-
-# Use in RobotProcessor
-processor = RobotProcessor(steps=steps)
-processed_transition = processor(raw_transition)
-```
-
-### Using overrides
-
-You can override step parameters at load-time using `overrides`. This is handy for non-serializable objects or site-specific settings. It works both in policy factories and with `RobotProcessor.from_pretrained(...)`.
-
-Example: during policy evaluation on the robot, override the device and rename map.
-Use this to run a policy trained on CUDA on a CPU-only robot, or to remap camera keys when the robot uses different names than the dataset.
-
-```437:445:src/lerobot/record.py
-preprocessor, postprocessor = make_processor(
-    policy_cfg=cfg.policy,
-    pretrained_path=cfg.policy.pretrained_path,
-    dataset_stats=rename_stats(dataset.meta.stats, cfg.dataset.rename_map),
-    preprocessor_overrides={
-        "device_processor": {"device": cfg.policy.device},
-        "rename_processor": {"rename_map": cfg.dataset.rename_map},
-    },
-)
-```
-
-Direct usage with `from_pretrained`:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.processor import RobotProcessor
-
-processor = RobotProcessor.from_pretrained(
-    "username/my-processor",
-    overrides={
-        "device_processor": {"device": "cuda:0"},  # registry name for registered steps
-        "CustomStep": {"param": 42},               # class name for non-registered steps
-    },
-)
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
- **Keep processors atomic** - One transformation per processor for reusability and debugging
- **Use dataclasses** - Clean initialization with `@dataclass`
- **Always register processors** - Use `@ProcessorStepRegistry.register("name")` for discoverability
- **Check for None** - Always validate required data exists before processing
- **Use copy() for safety** - Avoid side effects with `transition.copy()`
- **Separate config and state** - JSON-serializable config vs tensor state_dict
- **Use base classes** - Inherit from `ObservationProcessor` for observation-only processing
-
-```python
-@ProcessorStepRegistry.register("my_processor")
-@dataclass
-class MyProcessor(ObservationProcessor):
-    threshold: float = 0.5
-
-    def observation(self, observation):
-        if observation is None:
-            return observation
-        # Your processing logic here
-        return processed_observation
-```
-
-## Conclusion
-
-You now have all the tools to implement custom processors in LeRobot! The key steps are:
-
-1. **Define your processor** as a dataclass with the required methods (`__call__`, `get_config`, `state_dict`, `load_state_dict`, `reset`, `feature_contract`)
-2. **Register it** using `@ProcessorStepRegistry.register("name")` for discoverability
-3. **Integrate it** into a `RobotProcessor` pipeline with other processing steps
-4. **Use base classes** like `ObservationProcessor` when possible to reduce boilerplate
-
-The processor system is designed to be modular and composable, allowing you to build complex data processing pipelines from simple, focused components. Whether you're preprocessing sensor data for training or post-processing model outputs for robot execution, custom processors give you the flexibility to handle any data transformation your robotics application requires. Policies like Pi0 and SmolVLA use the same normalization processors described above, so your understanding here will transfer directly when wiring policy preprocessors and postprocessors.
-
-Start simple, test thoroughly, and leverage the existing helper classes to build robust data processing pipelines for your robot learning workflows.

- Robots output raw sensor data (camera images, joint positions, force readings) that need normalization, batching, and device placement before models can process them
- Language instructions from humans ("pick up the red cube") must be tokenized into numerical representations
- Different robots use different coordinate systems and units that need standardization
-
-**Model Output → Robot Commands:**
-
- Models might output end-effector positions, but robots need joint-space commands
- Teleoperators (like gamepads) produce relative movements (delta positions), but robots expect absolute commands
- Model predictions are often normalized and need to be converted back to real-world scales
-
-**Cross-Domain Translation:**
-
- Training data from one robot setup needs adaptation for deployment on different hardware
- Models trained with specific camera configurations must work with new camera arrangements
- Datasets with different naming conventions need harmonization
-
-**That's where processors come in.** They serve as the universal translators that bridge these gaps, ensuring seamless data flow from sensors to models to actuators.
-
-Processors are the data transformation backbone of LeRobot. They handle all the preprocessing and postprocessing steps needed to convert raw environment data into model-ready inputs and vice versa. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about processors - from basic concepts to advanced usage patterns.
-
-## What are Processors?
-
-In robotics, data comes in many forms - images from cameras, joint positions from sensors, text instructions from users, and more. Each type of data requires specific transformations before a model can use it effectively. Models need this data to be:
-
- **Normalized**: Scaled to appropriate ranges for neural network processing
- **Batched**: Organized with proper dimensions for batch processing
- **Tokenized**: Text converted to numerical representations
- **Device-placed**: Moved to the right hardware (CPU/GPU)
- **Type-converted**: Cast to appropriate data types
-
-Processors handle these transformations through composable, reusable steps that can be chained together into pipelines. Think of them as a modular assembly line where each station performs a specific transformation on your data.
-
-## Core Concepts
-
-### EnvTransition: The Universal Data Container
-
-The `EnvTransition` is the fundamental data structure that flows through all processors. It's a typed dictionary that represents a complete robot-environment interaction:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.processor.pipeline import TransitionKey, EnvTransition
-
-# Example transition from a robot collecting data
-transition: EnvTransition = {
-    TransitionKey.OBSERVATION: {
-        "observation.images.camera0": camera0_image_tensor,  # Shape: (H, W, C)
-        "observation.images.camera1": camera1_image_tensor,  # Shape: (H, W, C)
-        "observation.state": joint_positions_tensor,         # Shape: (7,) for 7-DOF arm
-        "observation.environment_state": env_state_tensor    # Shape: (3,) for object position
-    },
-    TransitionKey.ACTION: action_tensor,                    # Shape: (7,) for joint velocities
-    TransitionKey.REWARD: 0.0,                             # Scalar reward signal
-    TransitionKey.DONE: False,                             # Episode termination flag
-    TransitionKey.TRUNCATED: False,                        # Episode truncation flag
-    TransitionKey.INFO: {"success": False},                # Additional metadata
-    TransitionKey.COMPLEMENTARY_DATA: {
-        "task": "pick up the red cube",                    # Language instruction
-        "task_index": 0,                                   # Task identifier
-        "index": 42                                        # Frame index
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Each key in the transition has a specific purpose:
-
- **OBSERVATION**: All sensor data (images, states, proprioception)
- **ACTION**: The action to execute or that was executed
- **REWARD**: Reinforcement learning signal
- **DONE/TRUNCATED**: Episode boundary indicators
- **INFO**: Arbitrary metadata
- **COMPLEMENTARY_DATA**: Task descriptions, indices, padding flags, inter-step data (e.g., you need to compute the velocities and then use this velocity to clip the action)
-
-### ProcessorStep: The Building Block Interface
-
-A `ProcessorStep` is a single transformation unit that processes transitions. It's a protocol (interface) that any processor step must implement:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.processor.pipeline import ProcessorStep, EnvTransition
-from lerobot.configs.types import PolicyFeature
-from typing import Any
-import torch
-
-class MyProcessorStep:
-    """Example processor step interface - all methods must be implemented."""
-
-    def __call__(self, transition: EnvTransition) -> EnvTransition:
-        """Transform the transition - this is the main processing logic."""
-        raise NotImplementedError
-
-    def feature_contract(self, features: dict[str, PolicyFeature]) -> dict[str, PolicyFeature]:
-        """Declare how this step transforms feature shapes/types."""
-        raise NotImplementedError
-
-    def get_config(self) -> dict[str, Any]:
-        """Return JSON-serializable configuration for saving/loading."""
-        raise NotImplementedError
-
-    def state_dict(self) -> dict[str, torch.Tensor]:
-        """Return any learnable parameters (tensors only)."""
-        raise NotImplementedError
-
-    def load_state_dict(self, state: dict[str, torch.Tensor]) -> None:
-        """Load learnable parameters from saved state."""
-        raise NotImplementedError
-
-    def reset(self) -> None:
-        """Reset any internal state between episodes."""
-        raise NotImplementedError
-```
-
-### RobotProcessor: The Pipeline Orchestrator
-
-The `RobotProcessor` chains multiple `ProcessorStep` instances together, executing them sequentially. It provides automatic format conversion to handle both batch dictionaries (from datasets) and EnvTransition dictionaries:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.processor.pipeline import RobotProcessor, _default_batch_to_transition, _default_transition_to_batch
-
-# Create a processing pipeline
-processor = RobotProcessor(
-    steps=[
-        step1,  # First transformation
-        step2,  # Second transformation
-        step3   # Third transformation
-    ],
-    name="my_preprocessing_pipeline",
-
-    # Optional: Custom converters for input/output formats
-    to_transition=_default_batch_to_transition,  # How to convert batch dict → EnvTransition
-    to_output=_default_transition_to_batch       # How to convert EnvTransition → output format
-)
-
-# The processor automatically handles different input formats:
-# 1. If input is a batch dict (from dataset), converts to EnvTransition
-# 2. Passes through each step sequentially
-# 3. Converts back to original format (or custom output format)
-
-# Example with batch dict input (common in training)
-batch_dict = {"observation.state": tensor, "action": tensor}
-output = processor(batch_dict)  # Automatically converted to/from EnvTransition
-
-# Example with EnvTransition input (common in inference)
-transition = {TransitionKey.OBSERVATION: {...}, TransitionKey.ACTION: ...}
-output = processor(transition)  # Stays as EnvTransition throughout
-```
-
-The `to_transition` and `to_output` converters enable seamless integration with existing codebases.
-By default, they handle the standard LeRobot batch format, but you can customize them for different data structures.
-
-### Additional Converter Functions
-
-LeRobot provides several specialized converter functions for common robotics scenarios:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.processor.converters import (
-    to_transition_teleop_action,
-    to_transition_robot_observation,
-    to_output_robot_action,
-    to_dataset_frame
-)
-```
-
-**`to_transition_teleop_action`** - Converts teleoperation device actions to EnvTransitions:
-
-```python
-# Use case: Phone, gamepad, or other teleop device control
-phone_action = {"x": 0.1, "y": -0.2, "gripper": 0.8}
-transition = to_transition_teleop_action(phone_action)
-# Creates: {ACTION: {"action.x": 0.1, "action.y": -0.2, "action.gripper": 0.8}, ...}
-```
-
-**`to_transition_robot_observation`** - Converts robot sensor data to EnvTransitions:
-
-```python
-# Use case: Live robot observation during inference
-robot_obs = {
-    "joint_1": 0.5, "joint_2": -0.3,  # joint positions
-    "camera_0": image_array            # camera images
-}
-transition = to_transition_robot_observation(robot_obs)
-# Creates: {OBSERVATION: {"observation.state.joint_1": 0.5, "observation.images.camera_0": image, ...}}
-```
-
-**`to_output_robot_action`** - Extracts robot-executable actions from EnvTransitions:
-
-```python
-# Use case: Converting model outputs back to robot commands
-model_transition = {ACTION: {"action.joint_1": 0.2, "action.joint_2": 0.1}}
-robot_action = to_output_robot_action(model_transition)
-# Returns: {"joint_1": 0.2, "joint_2": 0.1} - ready for robot.send_action()
-```
-
-**`to_dataset_frame`** - Converts transitions to dataset-compatible format:
-
-```python
-# Use case: Saving processed data or creating training batches
-features = {
-    "action": {"names": ["joint_1", "joint_2"]},
-    "observation.state": {"names": ["joint_1", "joint_2"]},
-    "observation.images.camera0": {...}
-}
-batch = to_dataset_frame(transition, features)
-# Returns: {"action": [0.2, 0.1], "observation.state": [0.5, -0.3], ...}
-```
-
-These converters are particularly useful when integrating with real robots, as shown in the examples:
-
-```python
-# Example from phone_so100_teleop.py - Real robot teleoperation
-phone_to_robot_ee_pose = RobotProcessor(
-    steps=[...],
-    to_transition=to_transition_teleop_action,  # Phone → EnvTransition
-    to_output=lambda tr: tr                     # Keep as EnvTransition
-)
-
-# Example from phone_so100_eval.py - Robot action execution
-robot_ee_to_joints = RobotProcessor(
-    steps=[...],
-    to_transition=lambda tr: tr,                # Already EnvTransition
-    to_output=to_output_robot_action           # EnvTransition → Robot action
-)
-
-# Example from phone_so100_record.py - Dataset recording
-robot_joints_to_ee_pose = RobotProcessor(
-    steps=[...],
-    to_transition=to_transition_robot_observation,  # Robot obs → EnvTransition
-    to_output=lambda tr: tr                         # Keep as EnvTransition for dataset
-)
-```
-
-### Data Format Conversion
-
-Different data sources have different formats, but processors need a unified `EnvTransition` structure internally.
-The default converters handle LeRobot datasets, but you can customize them:
-
-```python
-# Default: LeRobot batch format
-lerobot_batch = {
-    "observation.state": torch.tensor(...),
-    "action": torch.tensor(...),
-    "next.reward": torch.tensor(...),
-    "task": ["pick cube", ...]
-}
-# → Converts to EnvTransition → Processes → Converts back
-
-# Custom: Live robot data
-robot_data = {
-    "cameras": {"wrist_cam": np.array(...)},
-    "joint_positions": np.array(...),
-    "gripper_state": 0.5
-}
-
-def robot_to_transition(data: dict) -> EnvTransition:
-    return {
-        TransitionKey.OBSERVATION: {
-            "observation.images.wrist": torch.from_numpy(data["cameras"]["wrist_cam"]),
-            "observation.state": torch.from_numpy(data["joint_positions"])
-        },
-        TransitionKey.ACTION: None,
-        # ... other fields with defaults
-    }
-
-# Use custom converter
-processor = RobotProcessor(
-    steps=[...],
-    to_transition=robot_to_transition,
-    to_output=lambda transition: transition  # Keep as EnvTransition
-)
-```
-
-**When to customize:** Live robot data, Gymnasium environments, legacy datasets, or any non-LeRobot format.
-
-## Common Processor Steps
-
-LeRobot provides a rich set of pre-built processor steps for common transformations.
-Let's explore each in detail:
-
-### Data Normalization
-
-Normalization is crucial for neural network training and inference.
-The `NormalizerProcessor` handles both mean-std normalization and min-max scaling:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.processor.normalize_processor import NormalizerProcessor, UnnormalizerProcessor
-from lerobot.configs.types import PolicyFeature, FeatureType, NormalizationMode
-
-# Define what features exist in your data
-features = {
-    "observation.images.camera0": PolicyFeature(
-        type=FeatureType.IMAGE,
-        shape=(224, 224, 3)
-    ),
-    "observation.state": PolicyFeature(
-        type=FeatureType.STATE,
-        shape=(7,)
-    ),
-    "action": PolicyFeature(
-        type=FeatureType.ACTION,
-        shape=(7,)
-    )
-}
-
-# Define normalization strategy per feature type
-norm_map = {
-    FeatureType.IMAGE: NormalizationMode.MEAN_STD,    # Images: (x - mean) / std
-    FeatureType.STATE: NormalizationMode.MIN_MAX,     # States: scale to [-1, 1]
-    FeatureType.ACTION: NormalizationMode.MIN_MAX     # Actions: scale to [-1, 1]
-}
-
-# Create normalizer with dataset statistics
-normalizer = NormalizerProcessor(
-    features=features,
-    norm_map=norm_map,
-    stats=dataset.meta.stats,  # Contains mean, std, min, max per feature
-    normalize_keys={"observation.state", "action"}  # Optional: only normalize specific keys
-)
-
-# For postprocessing: inverse transformation
-unnormalizer = UnnormalizerProcessor(
-    features=features,
-    norm_map=norm_map,
-    stats=dataset.meta.stats
-)
-
-# The normalizer automatically:
-# - Detects which normalization to apply based on feature type
-# - Handles device placement of statistics tensors
-# - Skips keys not in stats or not in normalize_keys
-# - Adds metadata about what was normalized
-```
-
-### Device Management
-
-The `DeviceProcessor` ensures tensors are on the right device with the right dtype:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.processor.device_processor import DeviceProcessor
-
-# Basic GPU placement
-gpu_processor = DeviceProcessor(device="cuda:0")
-
-# Advanced: GPU with half-precision for inference
-efficient_processor = DeviceProcessor(
-    device="cuda:0",
-    float_dtype="float16"  # Convert float32 -> float16 for memory efficiency
-)
-
-# The processor:
-# - Moves all tensors to specified device
-# - Preserves non-tensor data unchanged
-# - Optionally converts float dtypes while preserving int/bool types
-# - Uses non_blocking transfers for CUDA devices
-# - Handles nested structures (observations, complementary_data)
-
-# Supported float dtypes:
-# "float16" / "half": 16-bit floating point
-# "float32" / "float": 32-bit floating point (default)
-# "float64" / "double": 64-bit floating point
-# "bfloat16": Brain floating point (better for training)
-```
-
-### Batch Processing
-
-Models expect batched inputs, but robot interactions often produce unbatched data:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.processor.batch_processor import ToBatchProcessor
-
-batch_processor = ToBatchProcessor()
-
-# Automatically adds batch dimensions where needed:
-# State: (7,) -> (1, 7)
-# Image: (224, 224, 3) -> (1, 224, 224, 3)
-# Action: (4,) -> (1, 4)
-# Task: "pick_cube" -> ["pick_cube"]
-# Already batched: (1, 7) -> (1, 7) [unchanged]
-
-# The processor intelligently:
-# - Detects tensor dimensionality
-# - Adds batch dim to 1D states/actions
-# - Adds batch dim to 3D images
-# - Wraps string tasks in lists
-# - Preserves already-batched data
-
-# Example usage in inference:
-single_observation = robot.get_observation()  # Unbatched
-batched_input = batch_processor({"observation": single_observation})
-model_output = model(batched_input)  # Model expects batch dim
-```
-
-### Text Tokenization
-
-For language-conditioned policies, text instructions must be tokenized:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.processor.tokenizer_processor import TokenizerProcessor
-from transformers import AutoTokenizer
-
-# Option 1: Auto-load tokenizer by name
-tokenizer_proc = TokenizerProcessor(
-    tokenizer_name="google/paligemma-3b-pt-224",
-    max_length=128,
-    task_key="task",           # Where to find text in complementary_data
-    padding="max_length",       # Pad to max_length
-    padding_side="right",
-    truncation=True            # Truncate if longer than max_length
-)
-
-# Option 2: Provide custom tokenizer
-custom_tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("microsoft/DialoGPT-medium")
-custom_proc = TokenizerProcessor(
-    tokenizer=custom_tokenizer,
-    max_length=256,
-    padding_side="left"        # For autoregressive models
-)
-
-# The processor:
-# - Extracts task text from complementary_data
-# - Tokenizes using HuggingFace tokenizer
-# - Adds tokens and attention_mask to observations
-# - Handles both single strings and lists of strings
-# - Preserves original task in complementary_data
-
-# Output structure:
-# observation["observation.language.tokens"] = tensor([101, 2032, ...])
-# observation["observation.language.attention_mask"] = tensor([1, 1, 0, ...])
-```
-
-### Key Renaming
-
-Different datasets and models may use different naming conventions.
-The `RenameProcessor` solves this mismatch:
-
-**Why is this useful?**
-
- When loading a model trained on a different dataset with different key names
- When using foundation models that expect specific key naming conventions
- When standardizing datasets from different sources
- When adapting legacy code to new naming standards
-
-```python
-from lerobot.processor.rename_processor import RenameProcessor
-
-# Example 1: Dataset uses "top"/"wrist", model expects "camera0"/"camera1"
-rename_proc = RenameProcessor(
-    rename_map={
-        "observation.images.top": "observation.images.camera0",
-        "observation.images.wrist": "observation.images.camera1",
-    }
-)
-
-# Example 2: Foundation model compatibility
-# Your dataset: "observation.state", Foundation model: "proprio"
-foundation_rename = RenameProcessor(
-    rename_map={
-        "observation.state": "proprio",
-        "observation.images.main": "rgb",
-    }
-)
-
-# Example 3: Standardizing multiple datasets
-standardize_rename = RenameProcessor(
-    rename_map={
-        # Different robots might use different names
-        "observation.joint_positions": "observation.state",
-        "observation.gripper_state": "observation.end_effector",
-        "observation.arm_camera": "observation.images.wrist",
-    }
-)
-```
-
-## Building Complete Pipelines
-
-Let's build a real-world preprocessing and postprocessing pipeline for a vision-based
-manipulation policy:
-
-```python
-# Consolidated imports
-from lerobot.processor import (
-    RobotProcessor,
-    NormalizerProcessor,
-    UnnormalizerProcessor,
-    DeviceProcessor,
-    ToBatchProcessor,
-    TokenizerProcessor,
-    RenameProcessor
-)
-
-# Step 1: Define the preprocessing pipeline
-preprocessor = RobotProcessor(
-    steps=[
-        # 1. Standardize naming from dataset
-        RenameProcessor(
-            rename_map={
-                "observation.images.top": "observation.images.camera0",
-                "observation.images.wrist": "observation.images.camera1"
-            }
-        ),
-
-        # 2. Add batch dimensions for model
-        ToBatchProcessor(),
-
-        # 3. Tokenize language instructions if present
-        TokenizerProcessor(
-            tokenizer_name="google/paligemma-3b-pt-224",
-            max_length=64,
-            task_key="task"
-        ),
-
-        # 4. Normalize numerical data
-        NormalizerProcessor(
-            features=policy_features,
-            norm_map={
-                FeatureType.IMAGE: NormalizationMode.MEAN_STD,
-                FeatureType.STATE: NormalizationMode.MIN_MAX,
-                FeatureType.ACTION: NormalizationMode.MIN_MAX
-            },
-            stats=dataset.meta.stats
-        ),
-
-        # 5. Move to GPU and convert to half precision
-        DeviceProcessor(
-            device="cuda:0",
-            float_dtype="float16"
-        )
-    ],
-    name="robot_preprocessor"
-)
-
-# Step 2: Define the postprocessing pipeline
-postprocessor = RobotProcessor(
-    steps=[
-        # 1. Move back to CPU for robot hardware
-        DeviceProcessor(device="cpu"),
-
-        # 2. Denormalize actions to original scale
-        UnnormalizerProcessor(
-            features=policy_features,
-            norm_map={
-                FeatureType.ACTION: NormalizationMode.MIN_MAX
-            },
-            stats=dataset.meta.stats
-        )
-    ],
-    name="robot_postprocessor"
-)
-```
-
-## Using Processors in Practice
-
-### Training Loop Integration
-
-Here's how processors integrate into a training loop using the policy's forward method:
-
-```python
-from torch.utils.data import DataLoader
-
-# Create dataset and dataloader
-dataset = LeRobotDataset(repo_id="your_dataset")
-dataloader = DataLoader(dataset, batch_size=32, shuffle=True)
-
-# Initialize model and processors
-model = YourPolicy.from_pretrained("your_model")
-preprocessor = RobotProcessor.from_pretrained(
-    "your_model",
-    config_filename="robot_preprocessor.json"
-)
-
-# Training loop
-for epoch in range(num_epochs):
-    for batch in dataloader:
-        # Preprocess batch
-        processed_batch = preprocessor(batch)
-
-        # Forward pass - returns loss and optional metrics
-        loss, metrics = model.forward(processed_batch)
-
-        # Backward pass
-        optimizer.zero_grad()
-        loss.backward()
-        optimizer.step()
-
-        # Log metrics if available
-        if metrics:
-            wandb.log(metrics)
-```
-
-### Inference Pipeline
-
-For deployment, processors ensure consistent data handling with real robots:
-
-```python
-# Load model and processors
-policy = YourPolicy.from_pretrained("path/to/model")
-preprocessor = RobotProcessor.from_pretrained(
-    "path/to/model",
-    config_filename="robot_preprocessor.json"
-)
-postprocessor = RobotProcessor.from_pretrained(
-    "path/to/model",
-    config_filename="robot_postprocessor.json"
-)
-
-# Connect to robot
-robot = make_robot_from_config(robot_config)
-robot.connect()
-
-# Inference loop
-policy.eval()
-# Reset the policy and processors
-policy.reset()
-preprocessor.reset()
-postprocessor.reset()
-
-with torch.no_grad():
-    while not done:
-        # Get observation from robot
-        observation = robot.get_observation()
-
-        # Build dataset-compatible frame
-        observation_frame = build_dataset_frame(
-            dataset.features,
-            observation,
-            prefix="observation"
-        )
-
-        # Add task instruction to complementary data
-        observation_frame["task"] = "pick up the red cube"
-
-        # Preprocess for model
-        model_input = preprocessor(observation_frame)
-
-        # Run policy
-        raw_action = policy.select_action(model_input)
-
-        # Postprocess action
-        action_transition = {TransitionKey.ACTION: raw_action}
-        processed = postprocessor(action_transition)
-        action = processed[TransitionKey.ACTION]
-
-        # Convert to robot action format
-        robot_action = {
-            key: action[i].item()
-            for i, key in enumerate(robot.action_features)
-        }
-
-        # Execute on robot
-        robot.send_action(robot_action)
-```
-
-## Saving and Loading Processors
-
-Processors can be persisted and shared just like models, making them portable across different
-environments and ensuring reproducibility:
-
-### Local Save/Load
-
-```python
-# Save processor configuration and state
-preprocessor.save_pretrained(
-    "./my_robot_processor",
-    config_filename="preprocessor.json"  # Optional custom name
-)
-
-# The save creates:
-# my_robot_processor/
-# ├── preprocessor.json                    # Configuration
-# ├── preprocessor_step_0_normalizer.safetensors  # Step 0 state (stats)
-# └── preprocessor_step_1_device.safetensors     # Step 1 state (if any)
-
-# Load processor
-loaded = RobotProcessor.from_pretrained(
-    "./my_robot_processor",
-    config_filename="preprocessor.json"
-)
-```
-
-### HuggingFace Hub Integration
-
-The HuggingFace Hub provides a centralized place to share and version your processors.
-This is particularly useful for sharing preprocessing configurations with models,
-ensuring that anyone who downloads your model can reproduce your exact preprocessing pipeline.
-It also enables versioning and collaboration on preprocessing strategies.
-
-```python
-# Save to HuggingFace Hub
-preprocessor.save_pretrained("username/my-robot-policy")
-
-# Load from Hub with automatic download
-hub_processor = RobotProcessor.from_pretrained(
-    "username/my-robot-policy",
-    config_filename="robot_preprocessor.json",
-    revision="main",  # Optional: specific revision
-    cache_dir="./cache"  # Optional: local cache directory
-)
-
-# The Hub integration provides:
-# - Automatic versioning with git
-# - Public or private sharing
-# - Download caching for efficiency
-# - Integration with model repositories
-```
-
-### Loading with Overrides
-
-Sometimes you need to modify loaded processors for new environments or datasets.
-The override mechanism allows you to update specific processor configurations without modifying
-the saved files:
-
-```python
-# Load processor with configuration overrides
-processor = RobotProcessor.from_pretrained(
-    "./saved_processor",
-    overrides={
-        # Change device for different hardware
-        "device_processor": {"device": "cuda:1"},
-
-        # Update statistics for new dataset
-        "normalizer_processor": {"stats": new_dataset.meta.stats},
-
-        # Provide non-serializable objects (like tokenizers)
-        "tokenizer_processor": {"tokenizer": custom_tokenizer}
-    }
-)
-
-# Common override scenarios:
-# 1. Adapting to different hardware (GPU availability)
-# 2. Fine-tuning on new datasets with different statistics
-# 3. Providing runtime dependencies that can't be serialized
-# 4. Testing variations without creating new saved configs
-```
-
-## Creating Custom Processor Steps
-
-Build your own processor steps for specialized transformations.
-The key is implementing the required interface:
-
-### Basic Custom Step with Registration
-
-The registration mechanism allows your custom processors to be saved and loaded by name rather
-than by module path.
-This makes them more portable and easier to share:
-
-```python
-from dataclasses import dataclass
-from lerobot.processor.pipeline import ProcessorStepRegistry, ObservationProcessor
-
-# The @register decorator adds your processor to the global registry
-# Use a unique name, preferably namespaced to avoid conflicts
-@dataclass
-@ProcessorStepRegistry.register("my_company/gaussian_noise")
-class GaussianNoiseProcessor(ObservationProcessor):
-    """Add Gaussian noise to observations for robustness training."""
-
-    noise_std: float = 0.01
-    training_only: bool = True
-    is_training: bool = True
-
-    def observation(self, observation):
-        """Add noise to observation tensors."""
-        if not self.is_training and self.training_only:
-            return observation
-
-        noisy_obs = {}
-        for key, value in observation.items():
-            if isinstance(value, torch.Tensor) and "image" not in key:
-                # Add noise to non-image observations
-                noise = torch.randn_like(value) * self.noise_std
-                noisy_obs[key] = value + noise
-            else:
-                noisy_obs[key] = value
-
-        return noisy_obs
-
-    def get_config(self):
-        return {
-            "noise_std": self.noise_std,
-            "training_only": self.training_only,
-            "is_training": self.is_training
-        }
-
-# Why register?
-# 1. Enables saving by name: config saves "my_company/gaussian_noise" instead of full module path
-# 2. More portable: Others can use your processor without your exact module structure
-# 3. Version-safe: Module refactoring won't break saved configs
-# 4. Cleaner configs: JSON shows readable names instead of long import paths
-```
-
-### Using Base Classes for Common Patterns
-
-LeRobot provides base classes like `ObservationProcessor`, `ActionProcessor`, etc., that handle
-the boilerplate of extracting and reinserting specific components:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.processor import ActionProcessor
-
-@dataclass
-@ProcessorStepRegistry.register("my_company/action_clipper")
-class ActionClipProcessor(ActionProcessor):
-    """Clip actions to safe ranges."""
-
-    min_value: float = -1.0
-    max_value: float = 1.0
-
-    def action(self, action):
-        """Process only the action component."""
-        # No need to handle transition dict - base class does it
-        return torch.clamp(action, self.min_value, self.max_value)
-
-    def get_config(self):
-        return {"min_value": self.min_value, "max_value": self.max_value}
-```
-
-For more advanced processor patterns including stateful processors, see [Implement Your Own Processor](implement_your_own_processor.mdx).
-
-## Advanced Features
-
-### Debugging with Hooks
-
-Processors support hooks for monitoring and debugging without modifying the pipeline code:
-
-```python
-# Define monitoring hooks
-def log_shapes(step_idx: int, transition: EnvTransition):
-    """Log tensor shapes after each step."""
-    obs = transition.get(TransitionKey.OBSERVATION)
-    if obs:
-        print(f"Step {step_idx} shapes:")
-        for key, value in obs.items():
-            if isinstance(value, torch.Tensor):
-                print(f"  {key}: {value.shape}")
-
-def check_nans(step_idx: int, transition: EnvTransition):
-    """Check for NaN values."""
-    obs = transition.get(TransitionKey.OBSERVATION)
-    if obs:
-        for key, value in obs.items():
-            if isinstance(value, torch.Tensor) and torch.isnan(value).any():
-                print(f"Warning: NaN detected in {key} at step {step_idx}")
-
-# Register hooks
-processor.register_after_step_hook(log_shapes)
-processor.register_after_step_hook(check_nans)
-
-# Process data - hooks will be called after each step
-output = processor(input_data)
-
-# Remove hooks when done debugging
-processor.unregister_after_step_hook(log_shapes)
-processor.unregister_after_step_hook(check_nans)
-```
-
-### Step-by-Step Inspection
-
-Use `step_through()` for detailed debugging of the transformation pipeline:
-
-```python
-# Inspect data at each transformation stage
-for i, intermediate in enumerate(processor.step_through(data)):
-    print(f"\n=== After step {i} ===")
-
-    # Check observation shapes
-    obs = intermediate.get(TransitionKey.OBSERVATION)
-    if obs:
-        for key, value in obs.items():
-            if isinstance(value, torch.Tensor):
-                print(f"{key}: shape={value.shape}, "
-                      f"dtype={value.dtype}, "
-                      f"device={value.device}, "
-                      f"range=[{value.min():.3f}, {value.max():.3f}]")
-
-    # Check action if present
-    action = intermediate.get(TransitionKey.ACTION)
-    if action is not None and isinstance(action, torch.Tensor):
-        print(f"action: shape={action.shape}, range=[{action.min():.3f}, {action.max():.3f}]")
-```
-
-### Pipeline Slicing
-
-Extract subsets of a pipeline for testing or creating variations:
-
-```python
-# Get specific steps
-first_three_steps = processor[:3]  # Returns new RobotProcessor
-middle_step = processor[2]         # Returns single ProcessorStep
-
-# Test individual steps
-test_input = {...}
-step_output = processor[0](test_input)  # Test first step only
-
-# Create variations
-variant_processor = RobotProcessor(
-    steps=processor.steps[:-1] + [new_final_step],
-    name="variant"
-)
-```
-
-## Best Practices and Tips
-
-### 1. Order Matters
-
-The sequence of processors is crucial. Follow this general order:
-
-```python
-# Preprocessing: Raw → Model-ready
-1. Rename (standardize keys)
-2. Batch (add dimensions)
-3. Tokenize (text → tokens)
-4. Normalize (scale values)
-5. Device (move to GPU)
-
-# Postprocessing: Model → Robot-ready
-1. Device (move to CPU)
-2. Unnormalize (restore scale)
-3. Unbatch (remove dimensions if needed)
-```
-
-### 2. Registration Best Practices
-
-```python
-# Always register custom steps for better portability
-@ProcessorStepRegistry.register("my_company/special_processor")
-class SpecialProcessor:
-    ...
-
-# Use namespaced names to avoid conflicts
-# Good: "my_company/augmentation"
-# Bad: "augmentation" (too generic)
-
-# Check registered processors
-print(ProcessorStepRegistry.list())  # See all registered processors
-```
-
-### 3. Common Pitfalls and Solutions
-
-**Tensor Device Mismatch:**
-
-```python
-# Problem: RuntimeError: Expected all tensors on same device
-# Solution: Ensure DeviceProcessor is in pipeline
-preprocessor = RobotProcessor(
-    steps=[
-        NormalizerProcessor(...),
-        DeviceProcessor(device="cuda")  # Add this
-    ]
-)
-```
-
-**Missing Statistics:**
-
-```python
-# Problem: NormalizerProcessor has no stats
-# Solution 1: Compute stats from dataset
-from lerobot.datasets.compute_stats import compute_stats
-stats = compute_stats(dataset)
-
-# Solution 2: Load with overrides
-processor = RobotProcessor.from_pretrained(
-    "model_path",
-    overrides={"normalizer_processor": {"stats": dataset.meta.stats}}
-)
-```
-
-## Next Steps
-
-Now that you understand processors, explore these topics:
-
- [**Implement Your Own Processor**](implement_your_own_processor.mdx) - Deep dive into creating custom processors with advanced features like stateful processing
- [**Policy Documentation**](policies.mdx) - Learn how different policies use processors
- [**Dataset Documentation**](datasets.mdx) - Understand the data format that processors transform
- [**Training Guide**](training.mdx) - See processors in action during model training
- [**Evaluation Guide**](evaluation.mdx) - Learn about processor usage during policy evaluation
-
-## Summary
-
-Processors are the unsung heroes of robotics pipelines, handling the critical transformations between raw sensor data and model-ready tensors. By understanding and effectively using processors, you can:
-
- Build robust, reusable data pipelines
- Share preprocessing configurations across projects
- Debug data transformations systematically
- Ensure consistency between training and deployment
- Create custom transformations for specialized tasks
-
-Remember: good preprocessing is often the difference between a model that works in theory
-and one that works in practice!
-The modular pipeline approach ensures your transformations are testable, reproducible,
-and portable across different robots and environments.

-# Phone
-
-Use your phone (iOS or Android) to control your robot.
-
-**In this guide you'll learn:**
-
- How to connect an iOS/Android phone
- How phone pose is mapped to robot end‑effector (EE) targets
- How to tweak safety limits, gripper control, and IK settings
-
-To use phone to control your robot, install the relevant dependencies with:
-
-```bash
-pip install lerobot[phone]
-```
-
-## Get started
-
-### Supported platforms
-
- iOS: Uses the HEBI Mobile I/O app (ARKit pose + buttons). Download the app first, open it and the examples will discover it on your network and stream the phone pose and inputs.
- Android: Uses the `teleop` package (WebXR). When you start the Python process, it prints a local URL. Open the link on your phone, tap Start, then use Move to stream pose.
-
-Links:
-
- Android WebXR library: [`teleop` on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/teleop/)
- iOS app: [HEBI Mobile I/O](https://docs.hebi.us/tools.html#mobile-io)
-
-### Phone orientation and controls
-
- Orientation: hold the phone with the screen facing up and the top edge pointing in the same direction as the robot gripper. This ensures calibration aligns the phone’s frame with the robot frame so motion feels natural.
- Enable/disable:
-  - iOS: Hold `B1` to enable teleoperation, release to stop. The first press captures a reference pose.
-  - Android: Press and hold the `Move` button, release to stop. The first press captures a reference pose.
- Gripper control:
-  - iOS: Analog input `A3` controls the gripper as velocity input.
-  - Android: Buttons `A` and `B` act like increment/decrement (A opens, B closes). You can tune velocity in the `GripperVelocityToJoint` step.
-
-### Step 1: Choose the platform
-
-Modify the examples to use `PhoneOS.IOS` or `PhoneOS.ANDROID` in `PhoneConfig`. The API is identical across platforms, only the input source differs. All examples are under `examples/` and have `phone_so100_*.py` variants.
-
-Teleoperation example:
-
-```36:43:examples/phone_so100_teleop.py
-from lerobot.teleoperators.phone.config_phone import PhoneConfig, PhoneOS
-
-teleop_config = PhoneConfig(phone_os=PhoneOS.IOS)  # or PhoneOS.ANDROID
-teleop_device = Phone(teleop_config)
-```
-
-### Step 2: Connect and calibrate
-
-When `Phone(teleop_config)` is created and `connect()` is called, calibration is prompted automatically. Hold the phone in the orientation described above, then:
-
- iOS: press and hold `B1` to capture the reference pose.
- Android: press `Move` button on the WebXR page to capture the reference pose.
-
-Why calibrate? We capture the current pose so subsequent poses are expressed in a robot aligned frame. When you again press the button to enable control, the position is recaptured to avoid drift when your phone is repositioned while it was disabled.
-
-### Step 3: Run an example
-
-Run on of the examples scripts to teleoperate, record a dataset, replay a dataset or evaluate a policy.
-
-All scripts assume you configured your robot (e.g., SO-100 follower) and set the correct serial port.
-
- Android: after starting the script, open the printed local URL on your phone, tap Start, then press and hold Move.
- iOS: open HEBI Mobile I/O first; B1 enables motion. A3 controls the gripper.
-
-You can customize mapping or safety limits by editing the processor steps shown in the examples.
-
-You can also remap inputs (e.g., use a different analog input) or adapt the pipeline to other robots (e.g., LeKiwi) by modifying the input and kinematics steps. More about this in the [Processors for Robots and Teleoperators](./processors_robots_teleop.mdx) guide.
-
- Run this example to teleoperate:
-
-  ```bash
-  python examples/phone_so100_teleop.py
-  ```
-
- Run this example to record a dataset, which saves absolute end effector observations and actions:
-
-  ```bash
-  python examples/phone_so100_record.py
-  ```
-
- Run this example to replay recorded episodes:
-
-  ```bash
-  python examples/phone_so100_replay.py
-  ```
-
- Run this example to evaluate a pretrained policy:
-
-  ```bash
-  python examples/phone_so100_eval.py
-  ```
-
-### Important pipeline steps and options
-
- Kinematics are used in multiple steps. We use [Placo](https://github.com/Rhoban/placo) which is a wrapper around Pinocchio for handling our kinematics. We construct the kinematics object by passing the robot's URDF and target frame. We set `target_frame_name` to the gripper frame.
-
-  ```44:49:examples/phone_so100_teleop.py
-  RobotKinematics(
-      urdf_path="./src/lerobot/teleoperators/sim/so101_new_calib.urdf",
-      target_frame_name="gripper_frame_link",
-      joint_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()),
-  )
-  ```
-
- The `MapPhoneActionToRobotAction` step converts the calibrated phone pose and inputs into target deltas and gripper commands, below is shown what the step outputs.
-
-  ```72:83:src/lerobot/teleoperators/phone/phone_processor.py
-  # Map calibrated phone pose to robot targets (enabled gates the motion)
-  act.update(
-      {
-          "action.enabled": enabled,
-          "action.target_x": -pos[1] if enabled else 0.0,
-          "action.target_y":  pos[0] if enabled else 0.0,
-          "action.target_z":  pos[2] if enabled else 0.0,
-          "action.target_wx": rotvec[1] if enabled else 0.0,
-          "action.target_wy": rotvec[0] if enabled else 0.0,
-          "action.target_wz": -rotvec[2] if enabled else 0.0,
-          "action.gripper":   gripper,
-      }
-  )
-  ```
-
- The `EEReferenceAndDelta` step converts target deltas to an absolute desired EE pose, storing a reference on enable, the `end_effector_step_sizes` are the step sizes for the EE pose and can be modified to change the motion speed.
-
-  ```56:65:examples/phone_so100_teleop.py
-  EEReferenceAndDelta(
-      kinematics=kinematics_solver,
-      end_effector_step_sizes={"x": 0.5, "y": 0.5, "z": 0.5},
-      motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()),
-  )
-  ```
-
- The `EEBoundsAndSafety` step clamps EE motion to a workspace and checks for large ee step jumps to ensure safety. The `end_effector_bounds` are the bounds for the EE pose and can be modified to change the workspace. The `max_ee_step_m` and `max_ee_twist_step_rad` are the step limits for the EE pose and can be modified to change the safety limits.
-
-  ```61:66:examples/phone_so100_teleop.py
-  EEBoundsAndSafety(
-      end_effector_bounds={"min": [-1.0, -1.0, -1.0], "max": [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]},
-      max_ee_step_m=0.10,
-      max_ee_twist_step_rad=0.50,
-  )
-  ```
-
- The `GripperVelocityToJoint` step turns a velocity‑like gripper input into absolute gripper position using the current measured state. The `speed_factor` is the factor by which the velocity is multiplied.
-
-  ```78:81:examples/phone_so100_teleop.py
-  GripperVelocityToJoint(
-      motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()),
-      speed_factor=20.0,
-  )
-  ```
-
-#### Different IK initial guesses
-
-We use different IK initial guesses in the kinematic steps. As initial guess either the current measured joints or the previous IK solution is used.
-
- Closed loop (used in record/eval): sets `initial_guess_current_joints=True` so IK starts from the measured joints each frame.
-
-  ```71:76:examples/phone_so100_eval.py
-  InverseKinematicsEEToJoints(
-      kinematics=kinematics_solver,
-      motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()),
-      initial_guess_current_joints=True,  # closed loop
-  )
-  ```
-
- Open loop (used in replay): sets `initial_guess_current_joints=False` so IK continues from the previous IK solution rather than the measured state. This preserves action stability when we replay without feedback.
-
-  ```80:86:examples/phone_so100_replay.py
-  InverseKinematicsEEToJoints(
-      kinematics=kinematics_solver,
-      motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()),
-      initial_guess_current_joints=False,  # open loop
-  )
-  ```
-
-### Pipeline steps explained
-
- MapPhoneActionToRobotAction: converts calibrated phone pose and inputs into target deltas and a gripper command. Motion is gated by an enable signal (B1 on iOS, Move on Android).
- AddRobotObservationAsComplimentaryData: reads current robot joints and inserts them under `complementary_data.raw_joint_positions` for FK/IK steps to use.
- EEReferenceAndDelta: latches a reference EE pose on enable and combines it with target deltas to produce an absolute desired EE pose each frame. When disabled, it keeps sending the last commanded pose.
- EEBoundsAndSafety: clamps the EE pose to a workspace and rate‑limits jumps for safety. Also declares `action.ee.*` features.
- InverseKinematicsEEToJoints: turns an EE pose into joint positions with IK. `initial_guess_current_joints=True` is recommended for closed‑loop control; set `False` for open‑loop replay for stability.
- GripperVelocityToJoint: integrates a velocity‑like gripper input into an absolute gripper position using the current measured state.
- ForwardKinematicsJointsToEE: computes `observation.state.ee.*` from observed joints for logging and training on EE state.
-
-### Troubleshooting
-
- iOS not discovered: ensure HEBI Mobile I/O is open and your laptop/phone are on the same network.
- Android URL not reachable: check local you used `https` instead of `http`, use the exact IP printed by the script and allow your browser to enter and ignore the certificate issue.
- Motion feels inverted: adjust the sign flips in `MapPhoneActionToRobotAction` or swap axes to match your setup.

-# Processors for Robots and Teleoperators
-
-This guide shows how to build and modify processing pipelines that connect teleoperators (e.g., phone) to robots and datasets. Pipelines standardize conversions between different action/observation spaces so you can swap teleops and robots without rewriting glue code.
-
-We use the Phone to SO‑100 follower examples for concreteness, but the same patterns apply to other robots.
-
-**What you'll learn**
-
- Absolute vs. relative EE control: What each means, trade‑offs, and how to choose for your task.
- Three-pipeline pattern: How to map teleop actions → dataset actions → robot commands, and robot observations → dataset observations.
- Adapters (`to_transition` / `to_output`): How these convert raw dicts to `EnvTransition` and back to reduce boilerplate.
- Dataset feature contracts: How steps declare features via `transform_features(...)`, and how to aggregate/merge them for recording.
- Choosing a representation: When to store joints, absolute EE poses, or relative EE deltas—and how that affects training.
- Pipeline customization guidance: How to swap robots/URDFs safely and tune bounds, step sizes, and options like IK initialization.
-
-### Absolute vs relative EE control
-
-The examples in this guide use absolute end effector (EE) poses because they are easy to reason about. In practice, relative EE deltas or joint position are often preferred as learning features.
-
-You can choose what you save and learn from the teleop and robot action spaces, joints, absolute EE, or relative EE by using/implementing the right steps (and `transform_features()`) in your pipelines.
-
-## Three pipelines
-
-We often compose three pipelines. Depending on your setup, some can be empty if action and observation spaces already match.
-Each of these pipelines handle different conversions between different action and observation spaces. Below is a quick explanation of each pipeline.
-
-1. Pipeline 1: Teleop action space → dataset action space (phone pose → EE targets)
-2. Pipeline 2: Dataset action space → robot command space (EE targets → joints)
-3. Pipeline 3: Robot observation space → dataset observation space (joints → EE pose)
-
-Below is an example of the three pipelines that we use in the phone to SO-100 follower examples:
-
-```69:90:examples/phone_so100_record.py
-phone_to_robot_ee_pose = RobotProcessor(  # teleop -> dataset action
-    steps=[MapPhoneActionToRobotAction(platform=teleop_config.phone_os),
-           AddRobotObservationAsComplimentaryData(robot=robot),
-            EEReferenceAndDelta(kinematics=kinematics_solver,
-                               end_effector_step_sizes={"x": 0.5, "y": 0.5, "z": 0.5},
-                               motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys())),
-           EEBoundsAndSafety(end_effector_bounds={"min": [-1, -1, -1], "max": [1, 1, 1]},
-                             max_ee_step_m=0.20, max_ee_twist_step_rad=0.50)],
-    to_transition=to_transition_teleop_action,
-    to_output=lambda tr: tr,
-)
-
-robot_ee_to_joints = RobotProcessor(      # dataset action -> robot
-    steps=[InverseKinematicsEEToJoints(kinematics=kinematics_solver,
-                                       motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()),
-                                       initial_guess_current_joints=True),
-           GripperVelocityToJoint(motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()), speed_factor=20.0)],
-    to_transition=lambda tr: tr,
-    to_output=to_output_robot_action,
-)
-
-robot_joints_to_ee_pose = RobotProcessor( # robot obs -> dataset obs
-    steps=[ForwardKinematicsJointsToEE(kinematics=kinematics_solver,
-                                       motor_names=list(robot.bus.motors.keys()))],
-    to_transition=to_transition_robot_observation,
-    to_output=lambda tr: tr,
-)
-```
-
-## Why to_transition / to_output
-
-To convert from robot/teleoperator to pipeline and back, we use the `to_transition` and `to_output` pipeline adapters.
-They standardize conversions to reduce boilerplate code, and form the bridge between the robot and teleoperators raw dicts and the pipeline’s `EnvTransition` format.
-In the phone to SO-100 follower examples we use the following adapters:
-
- `to_transition_teleop_action`: transforms the teleop action dict to a pipeline transition (puts keys under `action.*`, converts scalars/arrays to tensors, keeps objects like `Rotation` intact)
- `to_output_robot_action`: transforms the pipeline transition to a robot action dict (extracts keys ending with `.pos`/`.vel` and strips `action.` prefix)
- `to_transition_robot_observation`: transforms the robot observation dict to a pipeline transition (splits state vs images; stores state under `observation.state.*` and images under `observation.images.*`)
-
-See `src/lerobot/processor/converters.py` for more details.
-
-## Dataset feature contracts
-
-Dataset features are the keys saved in the dataset. Each step can declare what its dataset features are via `transform_features(...)`. We can then aggregate features per pipeline with `aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features()` and merge multiple groups with `merge_features(...)`.
-
-Below is and example of how we declare features with the `transform_features` method in the phone to SO-100 follower examples:
-
-```203:211:src/lerobot/robots/so100_follower/robot_kinematic_processor.py
-def transform_features(self, features: dict[str, PolicyFeature]) -> dict[str, PolicyFeature]:
-    # Because this is last step we specify the dataset features of this step that we want to be stored in the dataset
-    features["action.ee.x"] = float
-    features["action.ee.y"] = float
-    features["action.ee.z"] = float
-    features["action.ee.wx"] = float
-    features["action.ee.wy"] = float
-    features["action.ee.wz"] = float
-    return features
-```
-
-Tip: declare features at the last step that produces them (e.g., `EEBoundsAndSafety` declares `action.ee.*`, `ForwardKinematicsJointsToEE` declares `observation.state.ee.*`).
-
-Below is an example of how we aggregate and merge features in the phone to SO-100 follower examples:
-
-```121:145:examples/phone_so100_record.py
-action_ee = aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features(
-    pipeline=phone_to_robot_ee_pose,
-    initial_features=phone.action_features,
-    use_videos=True,
-    patterns=["action.ee"],
-)
-
-gripper = aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features(
-    pipeline=robot_ee_to_joints,
-    initial_features={},
-    use_videos=True,
-    patterns=["action.gripper.pos", "observation.state.gripper.pos"],
-)
-
-observation_ee = aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features(
-    pipeline=robot_joints_to_ee_pose,
-    initial_features=robot.observation_features,
-    use_videos=True,
-    patterns=["observation.state.ee"],
-)
-
-dataset_features = merge_features(action_ee, gripper, observation_ee)
-```
-
-How it works:
-
- `aggregate_pipeline_dataset_features(...)`: applies `transform_features` across the pipeline and filters by patterns (images included when `use_videos=True`).
- `merge_features(...)`: combine multiple feature dicts.
- Recording uses `to_dataset_frame(...)` to build frames consistent with `dataset.features` before we call `add_frame(...)` to add the frame to the dataset.
-
-## Guidance when customizing robot pipelines
-
-You can store any of the following features as your action/observation space:
-
- Joint positions
- Absolute EE poses
- Relative EE deltas
- Other features: joint velocity, etc.
-
-Pick what you want to use for your policy action and observation space and configure/modify the pipelines and steps accordingly.
-
-### Different robots
-
- Swap `RobotKinematics` URDF and `motor_names`. Ensure `target_frame_name` points to your gripper/wrist.
-
-### Safety first
-
- When changing pipelines, start with tight bounds, implement safety steps when working with real robots.
- Its advised to start with simulation first and then move to real robots.
-
-Hope this guide helps you get started with customizing your robot pipelines, If you run into any issues at any point, jump into our [Discord community](https://discord.com/invite/s3KuuzsPFb) for support.

+# Reachy 2
+
+Reachy 2 is an open-source humanoid robot made by Pollen Robotics, specifically designed for the development of embodied AI and real-world applications.
+Check out [Pollen Robotics website](https://www.pollen-robotics.com/reachy/), or access [Reachy 2 documentation](https://docs.pollen-robotics.com/) for more information on the platform!
+
+## Teleoperate Reachy 2
+
+Currently, there are two ways to teleoperate Reachy 2:
+
+- Pollen Robotics’ VR teleoperation (not included in LeRobot).
+- Robot-to-robot teleoperation (use one Reachy 2 to control another).
+
+## Reachy 2 Simulation
+
+**(Linux only)** You can run Reachy 2 in simulation (Gazebo or MuJoCo) using the provided [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/pollenrobotics/reachy2_core).
+
+1. Install [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/).
+2. Run (for MuJoCo):
+
+```
+docker run --rm -it \
+  --name reachy \
+  --privileged \
+  --network host \
+  --ipc host \
+  --device-cgroup-rule='c 189:* rwm' \
+  --group-add audio \
+  -e ROS_DOMAIN_ID="$ROS_DOMAIN_ID" \
+  -e DISPLAY="$DISPLAY" \
+  -e RCUTILS_CONSOLE_OUTPUT_FORMAT="[{severity}]: {message}" \
+  -e REACHY2_CORE_SERVICE_FAKE="${REACHY2_CORE_SERVICE_FAKE:-true}" \
+  -v /dev:/dev \
+  -v "$HOME/.reachy_config":/home/reachy/.reachy_config_override \
+  -v "$HOME/.reachy.log":/home/reachy/.ros/log \
+  -v /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/opt/host-libs \
+  --entrypoint /package/launch.sh \
+  pollenrobotics/reachy2_core:1.7.5.9_deploy \
+  start_rviz:=true start_sdk_server:=true mujoco:=true
+```
+
+> If MuJoCo runs slowly (low simulation frequency), append `-e LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/host-libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" \` to the previous command to improve performance:
+>
+> ```
+> docker run --rm -it \
+>   --name reachy \
+>   --privileged \
+>   --network host \
+>   --ipc host \
+>   --device-cgroup-rule='c 189:* rwm' \
+>   --group-add audio \
+>   -e ROS_DOMAIN_ID="$ROS_DOMAIN_ID" \
+>   -e DISPLAY="$DISPLAY" \
+>   -e RCUTILS_CONSOLE_OUTPUT_FORMAT="[{severity}]: {message}" \
+>   -e REACHY2_CORE_SERVICE_FAKE="${REACHY2_CORE_SERVICE_FAKE:-true}" \
+>   -e LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/host-libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" \
+>   -v /dev:/dev \
+>   -v "$HOME/.reachy_config":/home/reachy/.reachy_config_override \
+>   -v "$HOME/.reachy.log":/home/reachy/.ros/log \
+>   -v /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/opt/host-libs \
+>   --entrypoint /package/launch.sh \
+>   pollenrobotics/reachy2_core:1.7.5.9_deploy \
+>   start_rviz:=true start_sdk_server:=true mujoco:=true
+> ```
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- On your robot, check the **service images** meet the minimum versions:
+  - **reachy2-core >= 1.7.5.2**
+  - **webrtc >= 2.0.1.1**
+
+Then, if you want to use VR teleoperation:
+
+- Install the [Reachy 2 teleoperation application](https://docs.pollen-robotics.com/teleoperation/teleoperation-introduction/discover-teleoperation/).
+  Use version **>=v1.2.0**
+
+We recommend using two computers: one for teleoperation (Windows required) and another for recording with LeRobot.
+
+### Install LeRobot
+
+Follow the [installation instructions](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot#installation) to install LeRobot.
+
+Install LeRobot with Reachy 2 dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[reachy2]"
+```
+
+### (Optional but recommended) Install pollen_data_acquisition_server
+
+How you manage Reachy 2 recording sessions is up to you, but the **easiest** way is to use this server so you can control sessions directly from the VR teleoperation app.
+
+> **Note:** Currently, only the VR teleoperation application works as a client for this server, so this step primarily targets teleoperation. You’re free to develop custom clients to manage sessions to your needs.
+
+In your LeRobot environment, install the server from source:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/pollen-robotics/pollen_data_acquisition_server.git
+cd pollen_data_acquisition_server
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+Find the [pollen_data_acquisition_server documentation here](https://github.com/pollen-robotics/pollen_data_acquisition_server).
+
+## Step 1: Recording
+
+### Get Reachy 2 IP address
+
+Before starting teleoperation and data recording, find the [robot's IP address](https://docs.pollen-robotics.com/getting-started/setup-reachy2/connect-reachy2/).
+We strongly recommend connecting all devices (PC and robot) via **Ethernet**.
+
+### Launch recording
+
+There are two ways to manage recording sessions when using the Reachy 2 VR teleoperation application:
+
+- **Using the data acquisition server (recommended for VR teleop)**: The VR app orchestrates sessions (via the server it tells LeRobot when to create datasets, start/stop episodes) while also controlling the robot’s motions.
+- **Using LeRobot’s record script**: LeRobot owns session control and decides when to start/stop episodes. If you also use the VR teleop app, it’s only for motion control.
+
+### Option 1: Using Pollen data acquisition server (recommended for VR teleop)
+
+Make sure you have installed pollen_data_acquisition_server, as explained in the Setup section.
+
+Launch the data acquisition server to be able to manage your session directly from the teleoperation application:
+
+```bash
+python -m pollen_data_acquisition_server.server
+```
+
+Then get into the teleoperation application and choose "Data acquisition session".
+You can finally setup your session by following the screens displayed.
+
+> Even without the VR app, you can use the `pollen_data_acquisition_server` with your own client implementation.
+
+### Option 2: Using lerobot.record
+
+Reachy 2 is fully supported by LeRobot’s recording features.
+If you choose this option but still want to use the VR teleoperation application, select "Standard session" in the app.
+
+**Example: start a recording without the mobile base:**
+First add reachy2 and reachy2_teleoperator to the imports of the record script. Then you can use the following command:
+
+```bash
+python -m lerobot.record \
+    --robot.type=reachy2 \
+    --robot.ip_address=192.168.0.200 \
+    --robot.id=r2-0000 \
+    --robot.use_external_commands=true \
+    --robot.with_mobile_base=false \
+    --teleop.type=reachy2_teleoperator \
+    --teleop.ip_address=192.168.0.200 \
+    --teleop.with_mobile_base=false \
+    --dataset.repo_id=pollen_robotics/record_test \
+    --dataset.single_task="Reachy 2 recording test" \
+    --dataset.num_episodes=1 \
+    --dataset.episode_time_s=5 \
+    --dataset.fps=15 \
+    --dataset.push_to_hub=true \
+    --dataset.private=true \
+    --display_data=true
+```
+
+#### Specific Options
+
+**Extended setup overview (all options included):**
+
+```bash
+python -m lerobot.record \
+    --robot.type=reachy2 \
+    --robot.ip_address=192.168.0.200 \
+    --robot.use_external_commands=true \
+    --robot.with_mobile_base=true \
+    --robot.with_l_arm=true \
+    --robot.with_r_arm=true \
+    --robot.with_neck=true \
+    --robot.with_antennas=true \
+    --robot.with_left_teleop_camera=true \
+    --robot.with_right_teleop_camera=true \
+    --robot.with_torso_camera=false \
+    --robot.disable_torque_on_disconnect=false \
+    --robot.max_relative_target=5.0 \
+    --teleop.type=reachy2_teleoperator \
+    --teleop.ip_address=192.168.0.200 \
+    --teleop.use_present_position=false \
+    --teleop.with_mobile_base=false \
+    --teleop.with_l_arm=true \
+    --teleop.with_r_arm=true \
+    --teleop.with_neck=true \
+    --teleop.with_antennas=true \
+    --dataset.repo_id=pollen_robotics/record_test \
+    --dataset.single_task="Reachy 2 recording test" \
+    --dataset.num_episodes=1 \
+    --dataset.episode_time_s=5 \
+    --dataset.fps=15 \
+    --dataset.push_to_hub=true \
+    --dataset.private=true \
+    --display_data=true
+```
+
+##### `--robot.use_external_commands`
+
+Determine whether LeRobot robot.send_action() sends commands to the robot.
+**Must** be set to false while using the VR teleoperation application, as the app already sends commands.
+
+##### `--teleop.use_present_position`
+
+Determine whether the teleoperator reads the goal or present position of the robot.
+Must be set to true if a compliant Reachy 2 is used to control another one.
+
+##### Use the relevant parts
+
+From our initial tests, recording **all** joints when only some are moving can reduce model quality with certain policies.
+To avoid this, you can exclude specific parts from recording and replay using:
+
+````
+--robot.with_<part>=false
+```,
+with `<part>` being one of : `mobile_base`, `l_arm`, `r_arm", `neck`, `antennas`.
+It determine whether the corresponding part is recorded in the observations. True if not set.
+
+By default, **all parts are recorded**.
+
+The same per-part mechanism is available in `reachy2_teleoperator` as well.
+
+````
+
+--teleop.with\_<part>
+
+```
+with `<part>` being one of : `mobile_base`, `l_arm`, `r_arm", `neck`, `antennas`.
+Determine whether the corresponding part is recorded in the actions. True if not set.
+
+> **Important:** In a given session, the **enabled parts must match** on both the robot and the teleoperator.
+For example, if the robot runs with `--robot.with_mobile_base=false`, the teleoperator must disable the same part `--teleoperator.with_mobile_base=false`.
+
+##### Use the relevant cameras
+
+You can do the same for **cameras**. By default, only the **teleoperation cameras** are recorded (both `left_teleop_camera` and `right_teleop_camera`). Enable or disable each camera with:
+
+```
+
+--robot.with_left_teleop_camera=<true|false>
+--robot.with_right_teleop_camera=<true|false>
+--robot.with_torso_camera=<true|false>
+
+````
+
+
+## Step 2: Replay
+
+Make sure the robot is configured with the same parts as the dataset:
+
+```bash
+python -m lerobot.replay \
+    --robot.type=reachy2 \
+    --robot.ip_address=192.168.0.200 \
+    --robot.use_external_commands=false \
+    --robot.with_mobile_base=false \
+    --dataset.repo_id=pollen_robotics/record_test \
+    --dataset.episode=0
+    --display_data=true
+````
+
+## Step 3: Train
+
+```bash
+python -m lerobot.scripts.train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=pollen_robotics/record_test \
+  --policy.type=act \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/reachy2_test \
+  --job_name=reachy2 \
+  --policy.device=mps \
+  --wandb.enable=true \
+  --policy.repo_id=pollen_robotics/record_test_policy
+```
+
+## Step 4: Evaluate
+
+```bash
+python -m lerobot.record \
+  --robot.type=reachy2 \
+  --robot.ip_address=192.168.0.200 \
+  --display_data=false \
+  --dataset.repo_id=pollen_robotics/eval_record_test \
+  --dataset.single_task="Evaluate reachy2 policy" \
+  --dataset.num_episodes=10 \
+  --policy.path=outputs/train/reachy2_test/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
+```

+This script will help you convert any LeRobot dataset already pushed to the hub from codebase version 2.0 to
+2.1. It will:

 - Generate per-episodes stats and writes them in `episodes_stats.jsonl`
 - Check consistency between these new stats and the old ones.
 - Remove the deprecated `stats.json`.
 - Update codebase_version in `info.json`.
- Push this new version to the destination repo/branch and tag it with the current codebase version.
+- Push this new version to the hub on the 'main' branch and tags it with "v2.1".

 Usage:

 ```bash

-## General Value/Reward Learning:
-
-I want to implement a general/universal vision and language value function or reward model for robotics/video tasks. Also called a video language conditioned reward model. Integrated with already existing LeRobot code if convenient, use the LeRobot Dataset for dataset and store the reward for a frame in the lerobot frame itself.
-
-Inspired by these papers:
-
- ReWiND; https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.10911 (Most applicable and main paper I want to implement ideas from) and code: https://github.com/lucidrains/rewind-reward-pytorch

-Loss: See this chatgpt thread: https://chatgpt.com/s/t_68999a50a0b081919abc365cdd205e01
-
-Past images: (for example a reward method go to 3rd floor, has to know what floor it was on and what pas actions it did, can we attend or encorperate images of decision from history in one way?) Maybe via this paper: Learning Long-Context Diffusion Policies via Past-Token Prediction
-
-Amount of frames needed for test/generalization: 1M frames? or ~20% of IPEC-COMMUNITY/bc_z_lerobot
-
-Eval:
-Implement something like voc score , or ROC rank order correlation between reward leanredna and ev reward from sim, or use something else to do additional evaluation
-
-Ideas:
-
- Incorporate training on multiple horizons: as in label same dataset for longer horizons: make a sandwich (long), put cheese on bread (medium) and even smaller horizons: go down or close gripper (small)
- Incorporate navigation goals “walk towards the kitchen”, make sure we fix CLIP contrastive learning issue of positional text misunderstanding where model doesnnt learn difference between "horse right of cow" and "horse left of cow" “Move right” potentially train with more other data or even actionable world models such as Genie 3 (https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/genie-3-a-new-frontier-for-world-models/)
-
-How to use a general reward model (use cases): - Train rl policy on it - Success detection - Do exploraion - Do task via planning and search to optimize reward - Filter out bad episodes in large datasets from imitation learning
-
-Potential Datasets: (start with dataset that is most clean for this and works best with chosen way of doing evals)
-_ Epic-Kitchens-100
-_ Something-Something v. 2 Dataset https://www.qualcomm.com/developer/software/something-something-v-2-dataset
-_ Ego4D (3000 hours)

-### TODOs:
-
- Implement first architecture [x]
- Implement processors [x]
- Choose right loss metric(s) [x]
- Make dataset with script that generated the dataset (IPEC-COMMUNITY/bc_z_lerobot) ready in lerobot format (and be able to visualize in dataset visualizer)
-  - Annotate with ReWiND-style 0→1 progress rewards [x]
-  - Visualize to check [x]
- Implement eval score or metric that is robust and can deal with generalization/is a good metric to try different architectures. And use it in an eval jupyter notebook with visalization of the live reward next to the video for part of the dataset: VOC score and score with correct and incorrect language captions [x]
- Do first training [x]
- Implement on-the-fly progress label generation (no need for pre-annotated rewards) [x]
- Try different losses
-  - Only rewind loss [x]
-  - Exactly similar to: https://github.com/lucidrains/rewind-reward-pytorch/blob/main/rewind_reward_pytorch/rewind_reward.py#L11 [x]
-  - Try DINO v2 as encoder Base 86 M: with https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L12-v2 [x]
-  - Test rewind (evaluate) [x]
- benchmark siglip 2 vs this implementation forward pass, debug speed [x]
- use siglip 2 [x]
- Fix evaluation bug !!! []
- Fix sample episode padding bug !!! []
- Overfit on one episode []
- Cleanup code? [] + enable language loss
- Convert python -m lerobot.datasets.v21.convert_dataset_v20_to_v21 --repo-id=IPEC-COMMUNITY/bc_z_lerobot and train on 1 percent
- Then on 10 percent []
- Ablation 16 sucessive frame vs 16 frame samples with stride 2 or 4 []
- Add more artificial text to dataset generated by vlm (google gemini) []
-  - See google gemini vlm caption [] https://gemini.google.com/app/7e332ffaf32580f2
-  - Multiple captions per video, creat method to generate as much data as possible etc [] https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.13446, https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.04453
- Add other datasets from OXE metioned in rewind []
- Extend evaluation []
- Ablation for size vision encoder, language encoder, temporal head []
- Ablation one mlp head per frame or single mlp head []
- Add other datasets metnioned here []
- How can we improve spatial aware learning? solve issue of Contrastive learning and position []

-    """Processor that adds batch dimensions to observations and actions when needed.
-
-    This processor ensures that observations and actions have proper batch dimensions for model processing:
-
-    - For state observations (observation.state, observation.environment_state):
-      Adds batch dimension (unsqueeze at dim=0) if tensor is 1-dimensional
-
-    - For image observations (observation.image, observation.images.*):
-      Adds batch dimension (unsqueeze at dim=0) if tensor is 3-dimensional (H, W, C)
-
-    - For actions:
-      Adds batch dimension (unsqueeze at dim=0) if tensor is 1-dimensional
-
-    - For task field in complementary data:
-      Wraps string task in a list to add batch dimension
-      (task must be a string or list of strings)
-
-    This is useful when processing single transitions that need to be batched for
-    model inference or when converting from unbatched environment outputs to
-    batched model inputs.
-
-    The processor only modifies tensors that need batching and leaves already
-    batched tensors unchanged.
-
-    Example:
-        ```python
-        # State: (7,) -> (1, 7)
-        # Image: (224, 224, 3) -> (1, 224, 224, 3)
-        # Action: (4,) -> (1, 4)
-        # Task: "pick_cube" -> ["pick_cube"]
-        # Already batched: (1, 7) -> (1, 7) [unchanged]

-Generic script to migrate any policy model with normalization layers to the new pipeline-based system.
-
-This script:
-1. Loads an existing pretrained policy model
-2. Extracts normalization statistics from the model
-3. Creates both preprocessor and postprocessor:
-   - Preprocessor: normalizes both inputs (observations) and outputs (actions) for training
-   - Postprocessor: unnormalizes outputs (actions) for inference
-4. Removes normalization layers from the model state_dict
-5. Saves the new model and both processors
-
-Usage:
-    python src/lerobot/processor/migrate_policy_normalization.py \
-        --pretrained-path lerobot/act_aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human \
-        --policy-type act \
-        --push-to-hub
