How to Get Started with the Model

New to LeRobot? These guides cover the full workflow:

The short version to run and train this policy:

Run the policy on your robot

lerobot-rollout \
  --strategy.type=base \
  --robot.type=so_follower \
  --robot.port=<your_robot_port> \
  --robot.cameras="{ <camera_1>: {type: opencv, index_or_path: <index_or_path>, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}, <camera_2>: {type: opencv, index_or_path: <index_or_path>, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
  --policy.path=NLTuan/smolvla_clean_lora \
  --task="Clean the board fully" \
  --duration=60

Replace the remaining <...> placeholders with your own values: --robot.port and the camera names/indices are specific to your machine, and the camera names must match the observation keys this policy was trained on.

When --strategy.type=base is used the script doesn't record the episodes. Skipping duration will make the policy run indefinitely. For more information look at rollout documentation.

Train your own policy

This policy type is usually fine-tuned from the pretrained base model lerobot/smolvla_base:

lerobot-train \
  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/<dataset> \
  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_base \
  --output_dir=outputs/train/<policy_repo_id> \
  --job_name=lerobot_training \
  --policy.device=cuda \
  --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/<policy_repo_id> \
  --wandb.enable=true

Writes checkpoints to outputs/train/<policy_repo_id>/checkpoints/.
