Bridging AI & Robotics: Exploring the LeRobot Library
summary
LeRobot from Hugging Face is a complete open-source pipeline that collects teleoperation data, trains policies and deploys them to hardware or sims (PushT, ALOHA). It runs training scripts that log to Weights & Biases, can train overnight, and the presenter hits state-of-the-art on two sims with a compact policy. Hardware work uses the 3D-printable SO-ARM100 ~$130 with teleoperation (follower arm or PS4 controller), requires about ~50 demonstrations for simple grasp tasks and sometimes needs real-world fine-tuning.
