Usage

Use this model as a LeRobot policy checkpoint:

bash

python -m lerobot.scripts.lerobot_eval \
  --policy.path=CoRL2026-CSI/smolvla_ur7e_arrange_block_100epi_10ep

For Python loading inside LeRobot code, use the SmolVLA policy loader with this repository id as the pretrained path.

Evaluation and Limitations

This model card reports training checkpoint information only. No rollout success rate or task-level evaluation metric is included in this repository.

The checkpoint assumes a compatible observation/action schema and the camera remapping shown above. The optimizer/RNG training_state files are not included; only the loadable pretrained_model artifact is uploaded.
