Brief

Hugging Face’s LeRobot team is releasing its Unfolding Robotics blog to document how it trained a robot to fold clothes. The post highlights the scale of the effort — 8 bimanual setups, 100+ hours of demonstrations, and 5,000+ GPU hours — and positions the blog as a transparent look at the data, failures, and engineering behind the demo, with code and data shared publicly.

Releasing the Unfolding Robotics blog!

Time to unfold robotics: we trained a robot to fold clothes using 8 bimanual setups, 100+ hours of demonstrations, and 5k+ GPU hours.

Flashy robot demos are everywhere. But you rarely see the real story: the data, the failures, the engineering.

We’re sharing everything: code, data, and details in the blog → huggingface.co/spaces/lerobo…
