LeRobot

LeRobot is Hugging Face's open-source Python library for real-world robotics, covering data collection, dataset storage, policy training, and deployment in one framework. Its standardized dataset format replaced lab-specific pipelines and turned the LeRobot Hub into the largest collection of real-robot datasets, reportedly passing 58,000 by mid-2026. It works with affordable hardware like the $100 SO-100 arm and plays well with simulators for those without robots. It is a toolkit and ecosystem rather than a single model, so you still need to pick or train policies yourself, and the field moves fast enough that parts of the stack keep changing.
