Grabette: an open system to record robot-manipulation data

AI summary

Hugging Face released Grabette, an open-source system recording manipulation demonstrations with a handheld gripper and two cameras, producing robot-ready datasets without robots or teleoperation equipment. The handheld hardware costs about €490 in materials, with the accompanying motorised Gripette gripper around €120. Hardware CAD, Raspberry Pi collection software and browser-based processing are all open-source.

Selection record

AdmittedSum of both 124 ≥ twice the threshold 120

Source tier
Official, first-hand; this tier's threshold is 60
Pre-filter
passed:开源机器人操作数据采集系统,用于机器人学习训练
Why it was chosen
Hardware costs and the complete recording-to-LeRobot dataset workflow show how barriers to robot data collection are changing.

A model scores each item twice, independently, against one written standard, out of 100. An item is admitted only when the two scores add up to twice the threshold. The threshold is set per source tier.
