+## Abstract
+Robot learning is at an inflection point, driven by rapid advancements in machine learning and the growing availability of large-scale robotics data. This shift from classical, model-based methods to data-driven, learning-based paradigms is unlocking unprecedented capabilities in autonomous systems. This tutorial navigates the landscape of modern robot learning, charting a course from the foundational principles of Reinforcement Learning and Behavioral Cloning to generalist, language-conditioned models capable of operating across diverse tasks and even robot embodiments. This work is intended as a guide for researchers and practitioners, and our goal is to equip the reader with the conceptual understanding and practical tools necessary to contribute to developments in robot learning, with ready-to-use examples implemented in $\texttt{lerobot}$.
+
+## Model Details
+This model checkpoint is configured as an Action Chunking with Transformers (ACT) policy, as defined in its `config.json`. It utilizes a `resnet18` vision backbone for processing visual observations and is designed for robotic action prediction.
+
+-   **Model Type:** `act` (Action Chunking with Transformers)
+-   **Vision Backbone:** `resnet18`
+-   **Input Features:**
+    -   `observation.state`: State vector of shape `[6]`
+    -   `observation.images.up`: Visual input from an 'up' camera, shape `[3, 480, 640]`
+    -   `observation.images.side`: Visual input from a 'side' camera, shape `[3, 480, 640]`
+-   **Output Features:**
+    -   `action`: Action vector of shape `[6]`
