 "title": "Run one robot task headlessly and get JSON back",
 "page_title": "How to run one robot task headlessly and get JSON back with EMERGE Policy",
 "summary": "Send one natural-language task to a running Controller and read the JSON result from stdout.",
 "who": "A developer or evaluation engineer who needs to call robot tasks from a script or batch job.",
 "problem": "Scripts need a non-interactive way to run a task and capture the outcome without opening a terminal interface.",
 "outcome": "The task runs against the Controller and the result is printed to stdout as JSON, with workspace files stored in ~/.Emerge/workspace.",
 "steps": [
  "Complete the environment setup with `conda activate EmergePolicy` from the repository root.",
  "Start the model services with `OPENPI_GPU=0 VGGT_GPU=1 SAM3_GPU=2 bash scripts/model_server/start_external_model_servers.sh --services openpi,vggt,sam3`. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Start the Controller in one terminal with `python -m robot.controller --driver libero_mujoco --driver-config dev/libero_mujoco_driver_sample.json`. (inferred, check the README)",
  "In a second terminal, run `python -m Emerge.cli.headless \"Put the red block in the basket\"`.",
  "Read the JSON result from stdout and check the files in ~/.Emerge/workspace."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the EMERGE-Policy repo, with the Controller already running, execute `python -m Emerge.cli.headless \"<task>\"` and capture stdout. Expected output is a JSON result for the task. Verify that the output parses as valid JSON before reporting it.",
 "agents": [

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "3 hours",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says to configure the API through Web or TUI before using Headless, so a script cannot run cold on a fresh machine.",

  "Conda and Python 3.12 for the EmergePolicy environment",

  "Downloaded model checkpoints placed under checkpoints/ as listed in the README",
  "LIBERO-Plus assets.zip downloaded from Hugging Face and extracted into the submodule",
  "API configuration, which the first launch of Web or TUI walks you through"
