It supports policies including ACT, Diffusion, π0, SmolVLA and GR00T N1.7, and robots including SO-100, LeKiwi, Koch, HopeJR, EarthRover and Reachy 2.

    3. Documented by company source

      Hugging Face's paper on LeRobot (February 2026) was presented as a poster at ICLR 2026. It is written by the LeRobot team, so it describes the library rather than testing it independently.

    4. Independently verified

      Other companies build on it: NVIDIA's SO-101 sim-to-real course says "LeRobot is the foundation of this course" and uses it to train GR00T policies, and AWS's Physical AI Toolchain (October 2026) converts robot recordings to the LeRobot format.
