LeRobot: State-of-the-art AI for real-world robotics
---
π€ LeRobot aims to provide models, datasets, and tools for real-world robotics in PyTorch. The goal is to lower the barrier to entry to robotics so that everyone can contribute and benefit from sharing datasets and pretrained models.
π€ LeRobot contains state-of-the-art approaches that have been shown to transfer to the real-world with a focus on imitation learning and reinforcement learning.
π€ LeRobot already provides a set of pretrained models, datasets with human collected demonstrations, and simulation environments to get started without assembling a robot. In the coming weeks, the plan is to add more and more support for real-world robotics on the most affordable and capable robots out there.
π€ LeRobot hosts pretrained models and datasets on this Hugging Face community page: [huggingface.co/lerobot](https://huggingface.co/lerobot)
#### Examples of pretrained models on simulation environments
ACT policy on ALOHA env
TDMPC policy on SimXArm env

### Visualize datasets
Check out [example 1](./examples/1_load_lerobot_dataset.py) that illustrates how to use our dataset class which automatically downloads data from the Hugging Face hub.
You can also locally visualize episodes from a dataset on the hub by executing our script from the command line:
```bash
python lerobot/scripts/visualize_dataset.py \
--repo-id lerobot/pusht \
--episode-index 0
```
or from a dataset in a local folder with the `root` option and the `--local-files-only` (in the following case the dataset will be searched for in `./my_local_data_dir/lerobot/pusht`)
```bash
python lerobot/scripts/visualize_dataset.py \
--repo-id lerobot/pusht \
--root ./my_local_data_dir \
--local-files-only 1 \
--episode-index 0
```
It will open `rerun.io` and display the camera streams, robot states and actions, like this:
https://github-production-user-asset-6210df.s3.amazonaws.com/4681518/328035972-fd46b787-b532-47e2-bb6f-fd536a55a7ed.mov?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAVCODYLSA53PQK4ZA%2F20240505%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20240505T172924Z&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Signature=d680b26c532eeaf80740f08af3320d22ad0b8a4e4da1bcc4f33142c15b509eda&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&actor_id=24889239&key_id=0&repo_id=748713144
Our script can also visualize datasets stored on a distant server. See `python lerobot/scripts/visualize_dataset.py --help` for more instructions.
### The `LeRobotDataset` format
A dataset in `LeRobotDataset` format is very simple to use. It can be loaded from a repository on the Hugging Face hub or a local folder simply with e.g. `dataset = LeRobotDataset("lerobot/aloha_static_coffee")` and can be indexed into like any Hugging Face and PyTorch dataset. For instance `dataset[0]` will retrieve a single temporal frame from the dataset containing observation(s) and an action as PyTorch tensors ready to be fed to a model.
A specificity of `LeRobotDataset` is that, rather than retrieving a single frame by its index, we can retrieve several frames based on their temporal relationship with the indexed frame, by setting `delta_timestamps` to a list of relative times with respect to the indexed frame. For example, with `delta_timestamps = {"observation.image": [-1, -0.5, -0.2, 0]}` one can retrieve, for a given index, 4 frames: 3 "previous" frames 1 second, 0.5 seconds, and 0.2 seconds before the indexed frame, and the indexed frame itself (corresponding to the 0 entry). See example [1_load_lerobot_dataset.py](examples/1_load_lerobot_dataset.py) for more details on `delta_timestamps`.
Under the hood, the `LeRobotDataset` format makes use of several ways to serialize data which can be useful to understand if you plan to work more closely with this format. We tried to make a flexible yet simple dataset format that would cover most type of features and specificities present in reinforcement learning and robotics, in simulation and in real-world, with a focus on cameras and robot states but easily extended to other types of sensory inputs as long as they can be represented by a tensor.
Here are the important details and internal structure organization of a typical `LeRobotDataset` instantiated with `dataset = LeRobotDataset("lerobot/aloha_static_coffee")`. The exact features will change from dataset to dataset but not the main aspects:
```
dataset attributes:
β hf_dataset: a Hugging Face dataset (backed by Arrow/parquet). Typical features example:
β β observation.images.cam_high (VideoFrame):
β β VideoFrame = {'path': path to a mp4 video, 'timestamp' (float32): timestamp in the video}
β β observation.state (list of float32): position of an arm joints (for instance)
β ... (more observations)
β β action (list of float32): goal position of an arm joints (for instance)
β β episode_index (int64): index of the episode for this sample
β β frame_index (int64): index of the frame for this sample in the episode ; starts at 0 for each episode
β β timestamp (float32): timestamp in the episode
β β next.done (bool): indicates the end of en episode ; True for the last frame in each episode
β β index (int64): general index in the whole dataset
β episode_data_index: contains 2 tensors with the start and end indices of each episode
β β from (1D int64 tensor): first frame index for each episode β shape (num episodes,) starts with 0
β β to: (1D int64 tensor): last frame index for each episode β shape (num episodes,)
β stats: a dictionary of statistics (max, mean, min, std) for each feature in the dataset, for instance
β β observation.images.cam_high: {'max': tensor with same number of dimensions (e.g. `(c, 1, 1)` for images, `(c,)` for states), etc.}
β ...
β info: a dictionary of metadata on the dataset
β β codebase_version (str): this is to keep track of the codebase version the dataset was created with
β β fps (float): frame per second the dataset is recorded/synchronized to
β β video (bool): indicates if frames are encoded in mp4 video files to save space or stored as png files
β β encoding (dict): if video, this documents the main options that were used with ffmpeg to encode the videos
β videos_dir (Path): where the mp4 videos or png images are stored/accessed
β camera_keys (list of string): the keys to access camera features in the item returned by the dataset (e.g. `["observation.images.cam_high", ...]`)
```
A `LeRobotDataset` is serialised using several widespread file formats for each of its parts, namely:
- hf_dataset stored using Hugging Face datasets library serialization to parquet
- videos are stored in mp4 format to save space
- metadata are stored in plain json/jsonl files
Dataset can be uploaded/downloaded from the HuggingFace hub seamlessly. To work on a local dataset, you can use the `local_files_only` argument and specify its location with the `root` argument if it's not in the default `~/.cache/huggingface/lerobot` location.
### Evaluate a pretrained policy
Check out [example 2](./examples/2_evaluate_pretrained_policy.py) that illustrates how to download a pretrained policy from Hugging Face hub, and run an evaluation on its corresponding environment.
We also provide a more capable script to parallelize the evaluation over multiple environments during the same rollout. Here is an example with a pretrained model hosted on [lerobot/diffusion_pusht](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/diffusion_pusht):
```bash
python lerobot/scripts/eval.py \
-p lerobot/diffusion_pusht \
eval.n_episodes=10 \
eval.batch_size=10
```
Note: After training your own policy, you can re-evaluate the checkpoints with:
```bash
python lerobot/scripts/eval.py -p {OUTPUT_DIR}/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model
```
See `python lerobot/scripts/eval.py --help` for more instructions.
### Train your own policy
Check out [example 3](./examples/3_train_policy.py) that illustrates how to train a model using our core library in python, and [example 4](./examples/4_train_policy_with_script.md) that shows how to use our training script from command line.
In general, you can use our training script to easily train any policy. Here is an example of training the ACT policy on trajectories collected by humans on the Aloha simulation environment for the insertion task:
```bash
python lerobot/scripts/train.py \
policy=act \
env=aloha \
env.task=AlohaInsertion-v0 \
dataset_repo_id=lerobot/aloha_sim_insertion_human \
```
The experiment directory is automatically generated and will show up in yellow in your terminal. It looks like `outputs/train/2024-05-05/20-21-12_aloha_act_default`. You can manually specify an experiment directory by adding this argument to the `train.py` python command:
```bash
hydra.run.dir=your/new/experiment/dir
```
In the experiment directory there will be a folder called `checkpoints` which will have the following structure:
```bash
checkpoints
βββ 000250 # checkpoint_dir for training step 250
β βββ pretrained_model # Hugging Face pretrained model dir
β β βββ config.json # Hugging Face pretrained model config
β β βββ config.yaml # consolidated Hydra config
β β βββ model.safetensors # model weights
β β βββ README.md # Hugging Face model card
β βββ training_state.pth # optimizer/scheduler/rng state and training step
```
To resume training from a checkpoint, you can add these to the `train.py` python command:
```bash
hydra.run.dir=your/original/experiment/dir resume=true
```
It will load the pretrained model, optimizer and scheduler states for training. For more information please see our tutorial on training resumption [here](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/5_resume_training.md).
To use wandb for logging training and evaluation curves, make sure you've run `wandb login` as a one-time setup step. Then, when running the training command above, enable WandB in the configuration by adding:
```bash
wandb.enable=true
```
A link to the wandb logs for the run will also show up in yellow in your terminal. Here is an example of what they look like in your browser. Please also check [here](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/examples/4_train_policy_with_script.md#typical-logs-and-metrics) for the explanation of some commonly used metrics in logs.
Note: For efficiency, during training every checkpoint is evaluated on a low number of episodes. You may use `eval.n_episodes=500` to evaluate on more episodes than the default. Or, after training, you may want to re-evaluate your best checkpoints on more episodes or change the evaluation settings. See `python lerobot/scripts/eval.py --help` for more instructions.
#### Reproduce state-of-the-art (SOTA)
We have organized our configuration files (found under [`lerobot/configs`](./lerobot/configs)) such that they reproduce SOTA results from a given model variant in their respective original works. Simply running:
```bash
python lerobot/scripts/train.py policy=diffusion env=pusht
```
reproduces SOTA results for Diffusion Policy on the PushT task.
Pretrained policies, along with reproduction details, can be found under the "Models" section of https://huggingface.co/lerobot.
## Contribute
If you would like to contribute to π€ LeRobot, please check out our [contribution guide](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md).
### Add a new dataset
To add a dataset to the hub, you need to login using a write-access token, which can be generated from the [Hugging Face settings](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens):
```bash
huggingface-cli login --token ${HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN} --add-to-git-credential
```
Then point to your raw dataset folder (e.g. `data/aloha_static_pingpong_test_raw`), and push your dataset to the hub with:
```bash
python lerobot/scripts/push_dataset_to_hub.py \
--raw-dir data/aloha_static_pingpong_test_raw \
--out-dir data \
--repo-id lerobot/aloha_static_pingpong_test \
--raw-format aloha_hdf5
```
See `python lerobot/scripts/push_dataset_to_hub.py --help` for more instructions.
If your dataset format is not supported, implement your own in `lerobot/common/datasets/push_dataset_to_hub/${raw_format}_format.py` by copying examples like [pusht_zarr](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/lerobot/common/datasets/push_dataset_to_hub/pusht_zarr_format.py), [umi_zarr](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/lerobot/common/datasets/push_dataset_to_hub/umi_zarr_format.py), [aloha_hdf5](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/lerobot/common/datasets/push_dataset_to_hub/aloha_hdf5_format.py), or [xarm_pkl](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/lerobot/common/datasets/push_dataset_to_hub/xarm_pkl_format.py).
### Add a pretrained policy
Once you have trained a policy you may upload it to the Hugging Face hub using a hub id that looks like `${hf_user}/${repo_name}` (e.g. [lerobot/diffusion_pusht](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/diffusion_pusht)).
You first need to find the checkpoint folder located inside your experiment directory (e.g. `outputs/train/2024-05-05/20-21-12_aloha_act_default/checkpoints/002500`). Within that there is a `pretrained_model` directory which should contain:
- `config.json`: A serialized version of the policy configuration (following the policy's dataclass config).
- `model.safetensors`: A set of `torch.nn.Module` parameters, saved in [Hugging Face Safetensors](https://huggingface.co/docs/safetensors/index) format.
- `config.yaml`: A consolidated Hydra training configuration containing the policy, environment, and dataset configs. The policy configuration should match `config.json` exactly. The environment config is useful for anyone who wants to evaluate your policy. The dataset config just serves as a paper trail for reproducibility.
To upload these to the hub, run the following:
```bash
huggingface-cli upload ${hf_user}/${repo_name} path/to/pretrained_model
```
See [eval.py](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/lerobot/scripts/eval.py) for an example of how other people may use your policy.
### Improve your code with profiling
An example of a code snippet to profile the evaluation of a policy:
```python
from torch.profiler import profile, record_function, ProfilerActivity
def trace_handler(prof):
prof.export_chrome_trace(f"tmp/trace_schedule_{prof.step_num}.json")
with profile(
activities=[ProfilerActivity.CPU, ProfilerActivity.CUDA],
schedule=torch.profiler.schedule(
wait=2,
warmup=2,
active=3,
),
on_trace_ready=trace_handler
) as prof:
with record_function("eval_policy"):
for i in range(num_episodes):
prof.step()
# insert code to profile, potentially whole body of eval_policy function
```
