joykraft/vla_pi0
About the project
Project for the Episode1 single-arm robot: teleoperation data collection via LeRobot, LoRA fine-tuning of the π₀ (pi0) VLA model on OpenPI/JAX, and deployment of the policy to a real robot over WebSocket.
Useful for
- Collect a demonstration dataset from two cameras and the leader arm via lerobot.record
- Fine-tune pi0 with LoRA on your dataset and start the WebSocket policy service
- Connect the robot client to the policy service and execute predicted actions
