Grabette: an open system to record robot-manipulation data
TL;DR
Robot learning is hindered by a lack of diverse real-world manipulation data. Grabette is a new, open system that allows users to easily record manipulation tasks using just a human hand and a camera.
✦ Why It Matters
Engineers can start using Grabette today to collect manipulation data without needing expensive robotic setups.
Key Takeaways
- Build a Grabette using standard components from your workbench.
- Record manipulation tasks easily with the handheld gripper.
- Share your recorded data on the Hugging Face Hub.
- Contribute to a diverse dataset that enhances robot learning.
How It Works
Grabette captures manipulation demonstrations using a handheld gripper with two cameras: a fisheye camera for context and an RGBD camera for precise tracking. Users press a button to start and stop recording, synchronizing data from both cameras and the gripper's encoder.
The recorded data is then processed into a standard format for training robotic models.
