What this PR adds

This Learning Path shows developers how to:

  • Connect and calibrate an SO-101 robot arm and two cameras.
  • Record examples of a pick-and-place task with Hugging Face's LeRobot library.
  • Use those examples to train SmolVLA, a visual-language-action model from Hugging Face.
  • Run the trained model on the robot and evaluate the results.
  • These workflow is executed on DGX Spark

Unlike most software-only Learning Paths, completing this tutorial requires physical robot hardware.

This PR also removes a duplicate name from assets/contributors.csv.

I would appreciate a review.

Just to update, @odinshen-git is currently looking for someone who can support the review, as access to the SO-101 robot arm hardware is required. He will share an update shortly.
