Large language and vision models are becoming agentic, capable of exploring the internet and interacting with the world of bits. The obvious next step for them is to interact with the world of atoms by controlling physical systems and robots.
LeRobot is an open-source library from @HuggingFace written in #Python, designed to accelerate R&D and is fully integrated with affordable #robots. It includes pretrained models, crowdsourced datasets, and simulation environments, as well as tools to record data on real robots and control them end-to-end using Vision-Language-Action models (VLA) based on Google’s PaliGemma.
In this talk, Remi Cadene, Principal Research Scientist at @HuggingFace shares the technical details behind the LeRobot project.
