Model Card for smolvla

SmolVLA is a compact, efficient vision-language-action model that achieves competitive performance at reduced computational costs and can be deployed on consumer-grade hardware.

This policy has been trained and pushed to the Hub using LeRobot.

Learn how to train and run it in the LeRobot smolvla guide, or browse the full documentation.

How to Get Started with the Model

New to LeRobot? These guides cover the full workflow:

Install LeRobot — set up the lerobot package.
Hardware setup — assemble, wire, and calibrate your robot and cameras.
Record data & train a policy — the end-to-end imitation-learning walkthrough.
CLI cheat-sheet — quick reference for the lerobot-* commands.

The short version to run and train this policy:

Run the policy on your robot

bash

lerobot-rollout \
  --strategy.type=base \
  --robot.type=bi_so_follower \
  --robot.port=<your_robot_port> \
  --robot.cameras="{ <camera_1>: {type: opencv, index_or_path: <index_or_path>, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}, <camera_2>: {type: opencv, index_or_path: <index_or_path>, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
  --policy.path=OrderDraconis/smolvla_pickplace_leo \
  --task="pick up the upper piece of fabric and place it in the target square" \
  --duration=60

Replace the remaining <...> placeholders with your own values: --robot.port and the camera names/indices are specific to your machine, and the camera names must match the observation keys this policy was trained on.

When --strategy.type=base is used the script doesn't record the episodes. Skipping duration will make the policy run indefinitely. For more information look at rollout documentation.

Train your own policy

This policy type is usually fine-tuned from the pretrained base model lerobot/smolvla_base:

bash

lerobot-train \
  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/<dataset> \
  --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_base \
  --output_dir=outputs/train/<policy_repo_id> \
  --job_name=lerobot_training \
  --policy.device=cuda \
  --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/<policy_repo_id> \
  --wandb.enable=true

Writes checkpoints to outputs/train/<policy_repo_id>/checkpoints/.
