🤖 What is Neuracore

✨ Neuracore is a powerful robot learning library that enables data collection and visualization, model training, deployment, and real-time inference with support for custom data types. Get started with Neuracore today, sign up for a Neuracore account!

🌟 Features

• 🚀 Streaming data logging with custom data types
• 📊 Dataset visualization and synchronization
• ☁️ Train robot learning algorithms on cloud
• 🤖 Policy inference and deployment

🛠️ Installation

Neuracore has been tested on Ubuntu 24.04 and MacOS 26 (Arm64, Apple Silicon, M1 series Chips). If you're on Windows, please use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

On macOS, Neuracore supports Apple Silicon only.

To install the basic package for data logging and visualization:

pip install neuracore

Note: installing the ffmpeg binary is recommended for faster video encoding (during recording) and decoding (during playback/import). If not available, Neuracore falls back to PyAV for encoding.

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y ffmpeg

For training and ML development:

pip install neuracore[ml]

For bulk importing datasets:

pip install neuracore[import]

To run our examples:

pip install neuracore[examples]

For MuJoCo MJCF model support:

pip install neuracore[mjcf]

🍰 A Short Taste

Here is a short taste on what neuracore can do.
For a detailed walk-through, please refer to the tutorial and documentation.

import neuracore as nc # pip install neuracore
import time

# ensure you have an account at neuracore.com
nc.login()

# Connect to a robot with URDF
nc.connect_robot(
    robot_name="MyRobot", 
    urdf_path="/path/to/robot.urdf",
)

# Create a dataset for recording
nc.create_dataset(
    name="My Robot Dataset",
    description="Example dataset with multiple data types"
)

# Recording and streaming data
nc.start_recording()
t = time.time()
nc.log_joint_positions(positions={'joint1': 0.5, 'joint2': -0.3}, timestamp=t)
nc.log_rgb(name="top_camera", rgb=image_array, timestamp=t)
# Stop recording, the dataset is automatically uploaded to the cloud
nc.stop_recording()

# Kick off cloud training
job_data = nc.start_training_run(
    name="MyTrainingJob",
    dataset_name="My Robot Dataset",
    algorithm_name="diffusion_policy",
    num_gpus=5,
    frequency=50,
    ...
)

# Load a trained model locally
policy = nc.policy(
    train_run_name="MyTrainingJob",
    ...
)

# Get model inputs
nc.log_joint_positions(positions={'joint1': 0.5, 'joint2': -0.3})
nc.log_rgb(name="top_camera", rgb=image_array)
# Model Inference
predictions = policy.predict(timeout=5)
