This repository contains the final checkpoint for a SmolVLA policy fine-tune trained on aswinkumar99/task3-unknown for SO101 sponge pick-and-place experiments.

Dataset meaning: Task 3: Single Sponge - With Distractors (random-locations / unknown).

This SmolVLA policy is a fine-tune of lerobot/smolvla_base, as recorded by both the launch command (--policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_base) and the saved training config (pretrained_path: lerobot/smolvla_base).
