Learner server runner for distributed HILSerl robot policy training.



This script implements the learner component of the distributed HILSerl architecture.

It initializes the policy network, maintains replay buffers, and updates

the policy based on transitions received from the actor server.



Examples of usage:



- Start a learner server for training:

```bash

python -m lerobot.rl.learner --config_path src/lerobot/configs/train_config_hilserl_so100.json

```



**NOTE**: Start the learner server before launching the actor server. The learner opens a gRPC server

to communicate with actors.



**NOTE**: Training progress can be monitored through Weights & Biases if wandb.enable is set to true

in your configuration.



**WORKFLOW**:

1. Create training configuration with proper policy, dataset, and environment settings

2. Start this learner server with the configuration

3. Start an actor server with the same configuration

4. Monitor training progress through wandb dashboard

    - Ensures training begins only when the replay buffer has a sufficient number of transitions.
