WHAT CAN I TRAIN?✓ Your first VLA experiment✓ Pick-and-place imitation policy✓ SmolVLA fine-tuning
WHAT DO I NEED?• Python basics• LeRobot installed• A GPU is helpful, not needed to inspect data
SUITABILITY✓ Contains robot actions✓ Real-world recordings• Check source for language labels
New to the terminology?Episode = one complete attemptObservation = what the robot sees and sensesAction = the command sent to the robot
