XLeRobot 0.2.3 (XLeVR) out! xlerobot.readthedocs.io • VR (Quest 3) Whole-body Control • Reads everything: head and hand poses, joysticks, and all the buttons • Minimal dependencies, web-based • Modular, can use it on other robots • Open-source, easy install, play in 20min
XLeRobot 0.2.4: VR control on a real LeRobot SO101 arm. Wireless 🛜, Quest 3, and built-in analytical IK for the fastest computation. Seldom jerkiness due to WiFi network lag (will also happen to leader-follower control). Open-sourced at: github.com/Vector-Wangel/…
XLeRobot Sim2real RL: Only 1hr RL training in pure simulation (Maniskill) with a 4090 GPU and then we got this. Faster and smoother than most of the VLA models I have seen on LeRobot. Codes and tutorials fully open-sourced: github.com/StoneT2000/ler… Many thanks to @Stone_Tao!
What would a World Model look like if we start from a real embodied agent acting in the real world? It has to have: 1) A real, physically grounded and complex action space—not just abstract control signals. 2) Diverse, real-life scenarios and activities. Or in short: It has to…
Many thanks to the Bambu Lab official for giving me the H2D combo for free! @BambulabGlobal This will help me to develop XLeRobot hardware upgrades faster and work on hard-soft hybrid printing.


Code/tutorial released for🤗LeRobot zero-shot visual sim2real Reinforcement Learning! Train your SO100 robot in ManiSkill's fast simulator+renderer💨 and deploy a cube picking model zero-shot. Just in time for the LeRobot Hackathon, happy hacking! github.com/StoneT2000/ler…
