LeRobot v0.7.0: text steering for running robots, disk-less datasets, remote policy server
Hugging Face shipped LeRobot v0.7.0, adding text steering of running robots, disk-less dataset streaming, a remote policy server and new models; the release notes flag breaking changes to installs, trackers and simulator imports.
Why it matters
Text steering turns a running robot into something an operator can correct in plain words mid-task, and the remote policy server separates the policy from the robot hardware.
What you could build with it
A robotics lab could steer a running manipulation policy with plain text corrections mid-task, telling a sorting robot to handle the fragile items gently without stopping the run, using LeRobot v0.7.0's text steering and remote policy server.
Does it hold up?
Usable today for teams already on LeRobot: text steering and a remote policy server are in the release, though the notes flag breaking changes to installs, trackers and simulator imports, so existing setups need migration.
