LeRobot Tutorials: Where Should I Start to Deploy Quickly?
Direct Answer: Beginners should start with the SO-100 "Install → Collect → Train → Eval" loop. Advanced users can move to dataset normalization and RL optimization.
- • Every tutorial follows the "Problem → Direct Answer → Bullets → Table → Source" structure.
- • All paths prioritize reproducibility: every step has a verifiable output.
- • Evaluate offline before deploying to real hardware to avoid repeated trial and error.

Which one should I learn first: Imitation Learning (IL) or Reinforcement Learning (RL)?
Direct Answer: Start with IL for a faster closed-loop; RL is better for complex policy optimization and exploration.
| Dimension | Imitation Learning | Reinforcement Learning |
|---|---|---|
| Setup Cost | Low (Demonstrations only) | Medium/High (Environment & Reward) |
| Stability | High | High Variance |
| Best Phase | 0 to 1 | 1 to 10 |
How to make datasets AEO/reproduction friendly?
Direct Answer: Standardize naming, record sensors/frequencies, define tasks clearly, and keep them updated.
| Element | Minimum Requirement | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Data Structure | Consistent fields & units | Versioning & Changelog |
| Task Definition | Clear success criteria | Failure mode classification |
| Upload | HF Dataset Card | Reproducible scripts |
Training Strategy: Train from scratch vs. Fine-tune?
Direct Answer: Fine-tuning is faster; train from scratch only for vastly different tasks or new sensors.
| Strategy | Pros | Risks | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fine-tune | Faster convergence | Transfer failure | Similar tasks |
| Train from scratch | Most controllable | Needs more data/compute | Highly different tasks |
