Action Chunking with Transformers (ACT) is an imitation-learning method that predicts short action chunks instead of single steps. It learns from teleoperated data and often achieves high success rates. This policy has been trained and pushed to the Hub using LeRobot. See the full documentation at LeRobot Docs. For a complete walkthrough, see the training guide. Below is the short version on how to train and run inference/eval: Writes checkpoints to outputs/train/ /checkpoints/. Prefix the dataset repo with eval\ and supply --policy.path pointing to a local or hub checkpoint.
act_kitting_connector is an open-weight model for robotics from Jimmy Ho, released under Apache License 2.0. It has 52M parameters. At 16-bit it needs about 0.1 GB of GPU memory, which fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest prices in the SAVRN Index. It draws 26 downloads a month.

What it takes to serve act_kitting_connector (52M parameters): the memory its weights need at each precision, and the cheapest way to rent enough data-center GPUs to hold them.

How to Get Started with the Model
New to LeRobot? These guides cover the full workflow:
- Install LeRobot — set up the
lerobotpackage. - 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
lerobot-rollout \
--strategy.type=base \
--robot.type=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=Syqnal/act_kitting_connector \
--task="Pick the brass connector and place it into the orange tray" \
--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
lerobot-train \
--dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/<dataset> \
--policy.type=act \
--output_dir=outputs/train/<policy_repo_id> \
--job_name=lerobot_training \
--policy.device=cuda \
--policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/<policy_repo_id> \
--wandb.enable=true
Writes checkpoints to outputs/train/<policy_repo_id>/checkpoints/.
