Hugging Face Launches LeRobot, Community-Driven Open-Source Robotics Library in PyTorch

May 6, 2024, 12:57 PM

Hugging Face has launched LeRobot, an open-source robotics code library, marking a significant advancement in making AI robotics accessible to the broader community. The library, developed under the leadership of newly hired former Tesla scientist Remi Cadene, includes state-of-the-art approaches in imitation and reinforcement learning, pre-trained models, and datasets with human-collected data. LeRobot, which is compatible with PyTorch, aims to bridge the gap between AI and real-world applications, with a focus on community-driven development and research breakthroughs such as ALOHA, diffusion policies, and UMI. It also integrates technologies like Figure-01 connected to a pertained model via OpenAI for enhanced reasoning capabilities.
