## Usage

### Loading the Dataset

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load from Hugging Face Hub
dataset = load_dataset("YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_DATASET_NAME")

# Or load locally
dataset = load_dataset("parquet", data_files="chunk-*/data/*.parquet")
```

### Using with LeRobot

```python
from lerobot.common.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset

# Load dataset
dataset = LeRobotDataset("YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_DATASET_NAME")

print(f"Total episodes: {dataset.num_episodes}")
print(f"Total frames: {len(dataset)}")

# Iterate through data
for item in dataset:
    observation = item['observation.state']  # Shape: [16]
    action = item['action']  # Shape: [4]
    # ... use for training
```

### Accessing Videos

Videos are stored as MP4 files in chunk directories:

```python
import pandas as pd
from pathlib import Path

# Load episode data
df = pd.read_parquet("chunk-000/data/episode_000000.parquet")

# Video path is stored in metadata
# Load from: chunk-000/videos/episode_000000_liftoff.mp4
```

## Dataset Creation

### Recording Setup

- **Simulator**: Liftoff Drone Simulator
- **Bridge**: ROS2 Jazzy
- **Recorder**: Custom LeRobot-compatible recorder
- **Control**: RC controller or gamepad

### Data Collection Process

1. Start Liftoff simulator
2. Launch ROS2 bridge (`liftoff_bridge_ros2.py`)
3. Start recorder with gamepad control
4. Fly manually and record episodes
5. Data automatically organized into chunks

### Quality Control

- Episodes with crashes or poor control are discarded using emergency stop
- Each episode includes full telemetry and synchronized video
- Statistics computed across all episodes for normalization
