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.
The policy consumes these observation features and produces these action features.

4 --robot.port=<your_robot_port> \
5 --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}}" \

7 --task="pick up the bowl and place it in the bowl" \
8 --duration=60
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.
This policy type is usually fine-tuned from the pretrained base model
lerobot/smolvla_base:
1lerobot-train \
2 --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/<dataset> \
3 --policy.path=lerobot/smolvla_base \
4 --output_dir=outputs/train/<policy_repo_id> \
5 --job_name=lerobot_training \
6 --policy.device=cuda \
7 --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/<policy_repo_id> \
8 --wandb.enable=true
