Does ACT run on WidowX 250 S?
Scope: LeRobot training is evidenced by a public checkpoint. Real-robot ACT results on the WidowX 250 come only from the BridgeData V2 paper's own implementation, which was not released, not from LeRobot.

| Real-robot inference | works with caveats | BridgeData V2 authors' real-robot evaluation (10 trials per task), outside LeRobot. | ev-bridgev2-paper-act, ev-bridgev2-repo |

Caveats
- The BridgeData V2 evaluation used goal-image-conditioned ACT. bridge_data_v2 does not include the ACT implementation or a checkpoint.

BridgeData V2 paper (dataset paper; ACT first author Tony Zhao is a co-author) trains goal-conditioned ACT on BridgeData V2 and evaluates it on the real WidowX 250, 10 trials per task (Table 2).
“Action chunking with transformers (ACT). Previous work has also noted that predicting action sequences instead of single actions can benefit imitation learning [17, 18].”

bridge_data_v2 implements GCBC, D-GCBC, GCIQL, CRL and LCBC only. ACT is linked to its upstream repo, and no ACT checkpoint is released.
“We don't currently have a checkpoints for ACT or RT-1 available but may release them soon.”
