Hugging Face Blog · 4 months ago

LeRobot released v0.5.0 with support for the Unitree G1 humanoid robot, new vision-language-action policies including Pi0-FAST and Wall-X, and faster dataset processing. The update added over 200 merged pull requests from more than 50 new contributors, expanded robot hardware support to include Earth Rover and OMX Robot, and achieved 10x faster image training and 3x faster video encoding. The modernized codebase now requires Python 3.12 and Transformers v5, enables real-time video encoding during data collection, and allows custom policies to be registered as installable packages.
