What it does
- Provides pretrained robot policies, human-collected demonstration datasets and simulation environments to get started without a physical robot.
- Loads datasets from the Hugging Face hub or local folders and serves frames as PyTorch tensors, with optional temporal frame retrieval.
- Trains policies from the command line, reproducing reported results for Diffusion Policy on the PushT task.
- Supports Feetech motors and supports SO-101, LeKiwi and HopeJR robot builds per its tutorials.
- Lets users upload trained policies to the Hugging Face hub with their configuration and weights.

Robots that can run it
No robot on Robotheca is linked to it yet. Links come from a robot's robot.yaml, from its dependency files read as text, or from Robotheca's editors.
Robotheca lists AI models as a reference: nothing is hosted or run here, and every fact links to where it was read.
