Pepijn a147fa4439 feat(envs): add RoboCerebra long-horizon manipulation benchmark (#3314)
* feat(ci): add RoboCerebra benchmark eval job

- Docker image with robosuite/libero deps for RoboCerebra eval
- CI workflow: 1-episode eval with pepijn223/smolvla_robocerebra
- Reuses libero env with rename_map + empty_cameras=3

* docs(robocerebra): add benchmark page and toctree entry

Add a dedicated docs page for RoboCerebra that points at the canonical
dataset lerobot/robocerebra_unified and shows how to run eval + fine-tune
against it. Wire it into the Benchmarks section of the toctree so
doc-builder picks it up.

* ci: point benchmark eval checkpoints at the lerobot/ org mirrors

pepijn223/smolvla_* → lerobot/smolvla_* across every benchmark job in
this branch (libero, metaworld, and the per-branch benchmark). The
checkpoints were mirrored into the lerobot/ org and that's the canonical
location going forward.

* fix(robocerebra): drop alias extra + simplify docker image

Two problems rolled up:

1. `uv sync --locked --extra test` was failing because pyproject.toml added
   a `robocerebra = ["lerobot[libero]"]` alias extra but uv.lock wasn't
   regenerated. Drop the alias — nothing in CI actually needs the extra
   name (the Dockerfile just installs what it needs directly), so this
   restores pyproject.toml and uv.lock to byte-exact origin/main.

2. Rebase docker/Dockerfile.benchmark.robocerebra on
   huggingface/lerobot-gpu:latest (same pattern as libero/metaworld/…).
   The nightly image already ships lerobot[all] which includes [libero],
   so the RoboCerebra image is essentially identical to the LIBERO one:
   fetch libero-assets, write ~/.libero/config.yaml, overlay source.
   92 → 43 lines.

Also repoint the CI workflow comment that referenced the removed extra.

* ci: use dedicated lerobot/smolvla_robocerebra checkpoint for smoke eval

Replace the generic pepijn223/smolvla_libero placeholder with the
purpose-trained lerobot/smolvla_robocerebra model in the RoboCerebra
CI smoke test.

* fix(ci): align RoboCerebra eval with training pipeline

Fixes 5 mismatches that caused 0% success rate:
- env.type: robocerebra (unregistered) → libero
- resolution: 360x360 (default) → 256x256 (matches dataset)
- camera_name_mapping: map eye_in_hand → wrist_image (not image2)
- empty_cameras: 3 → 1 (matches training)
- add HF_USER_TOKEN guard on eval step

* fix(ci): set env.fps=20 and explicit obs_type for RoboCerebra eval

Match the dataset's 20 FPS (LiberoEnv defaults to 30) and make
obs_type=pixels_agent_pos explicit for safety against future changes.

* docs(robocerebra): align page with adding_benchmarks template

Rework docs/source/robocerebra.mdx to follow the standard benchmark
doc structure: intro + links + available tasks + installation + eval
+ recommended episodes + policy I/O + training + reproducing results.

- Point everything at lerobot/smolvla_robocerebra (the released
  checkpoint), not the personal pepijn223 mirror.
- Add the --env.fps=20 and --env.obs_type=pixels_agent_pos flags
  that CI actually uses, so copy-paste eval reproduces CI.
- Split the "Training" block out of the recipe section into its own
  section with the feature table.
- Add an explicit "Reproducing published results" section pointing
  at the CI smoke eval.

* fix: integrate PR #3314 review feedback

- ci(robocerebra): drop redundant hf auth login step (auth is
  already performed inside the eval step's container).
- ci(robocerebra): add Docker Hub login before the image build
  to pick up the authenticated rate limit.
- docs(robocerebra): align eval snippet with the CI command
  (observation size, camera_name_mapping, use_async_envs, device,
  empty_cameras=1).

* fix(envs): preserve AsyncVectorEnv metadata/unwrapped in lazy eval envs

Port of #3416 onto this branch.

* ci: gate Docker Hub login on secret availability

* Update .github/workflows/benchmark_tests.yml

Generating the documentation

To generate the documentation, you first have to build it. Several packages are necessary to build the doc, you can install them with the following command, at the root of the code repository:

pip install -e . -r docs-requirements.txt

You will also need nodejs. Please refer to their installation page


NOTE

You only need to generate the documentation to inspect it locally (if you're planning changes and want to check how they look before committing for instance). You don't have to git commit the built documentation.


Building the documentation

Once you have setup the doc-builder and additional packages, you can generate the documentation by typing the following command:

doc-builder build lerobot docs/source/ --build_dir ~/tmp/test-build

You can adapt the --build_dir to set any temporary folder that you prefer. This command will create it and generate the MDX files that will be rendered as the documentation on the main website. You can inspect them in your favorite Markdown editor.

Previewing the documentation

To preview the docs, first install the watchdog module with:

pip install watchdog

Then run the following command:

doc-builder preview lerobot docs/source/

The docs will be viewable at http://localhost:3000. You can also preview the docs once you have opened a PR. You will see a bot add a comment to a link where the documentation with your changes lives.


NOTE

The preview command only works with existing doc files. When you add a completely new file, you need to update _toctree.yml & restart preview command (ctrl-c to stop it & call doc-builder preview ... again).


Adding a new element to the navigation bar

Accepted files are Markdown (.md).

Create a file with its extension and put it in the source directory. You can then link it to the toc-tree by putting the filename without the extension in the _toctree.yml file.

Renaming section headers and moving sections

It helps to keep the old links working when renaming the section header and/or moving sections from one document to another. This is because the old links are likely to be used in Issues, Forums, and Social media and it'd make for a much more superior user experience if users reading those months later could still easily navigate to the originally intended information.

Therefore, we simply keep a little map of moved sections at the end of the document where the original section was. The key is to preserve the original anchor.

So if you renamed a section from: "Section A" to "Section B", then you can add at the end of the file:

Sections that were moved:

[ <a href="#section-b">Section A</a><a id="section-a"></a> ]

and of course, if you moved it to another file, then:

Sections that were moved:

[ <a href="../new-file#section-b">Section A</a><a id="section-a"></a> ]

Use the relative style to link to the new file so that the versioned docs continue to work.

For an example of a rich moved sections set please see the very end of the transformers Trainer doc.

Adding a new tutorial

Adding a new tutorial or section is done in two steps:

  • Add a new file under ./source. This file can either be ReStructuredText (.rst) or Markdown (.md).
  • Link that file in ./source/_toctree.yml on the correct toc-tree.

Make sure to put your new file under the proper section. If you have a doubt, feel free to ask in a Github Issue or PR.

Writing source documentation

Values that should be put in code should either be surrounded by backticks: `like so`. Note that argument names and objects like True, None or any strings should usually be put in code.

Writing a multi-line code block

Multi-line code blocks can be useful for displaying examples. They are done between two lines of three backticks as usual in Markdown:

```
# first line of code
# second line
# etc
```

Adding an image

Due to the rapidly growing repository, it is important to make sure that no files that would significantly weigh down the repository are added. This includes images, videos, and other non-text files. We prefer to leverage a hf.co hosted dataset like the ones hosted on hf-internal-testing in which to place these files and reference them by URL. We recommend putting them in the following dataset: huggingface/documentation-images. If an external contribution, feel free to add the images to your PR and ask a Hugging Face member to migrate your images to this dataset.
