Where to start

Follow setup and recording before training and evaluation; inspect the robot-specific prerequisites first.

Use it in your project

Create a configuration and data ledger linking the robot identity, calibration, episodes and evaluated checkpoint.

Scope and limitations

Commands and supported platforms evolve. Check upload defaults, exact hardware revision and the installed software version.
