Grabette: an open system to record robot-manipulation data
Hugging Face Blog
Pollen Robotics released Grabette, an open-source handheld gripper system that records robot manipulation demonstrations using a handheld device with cameras and IMU sensors. The hardware costs approximately €490 for the recording device (Grabette) and €120 for the robotic gripper counterpart (Gripette), with all components sourced from standard off-the-shelf parts. The system aims to democratize robot learning data collection by enabling anyone to record manipulation tasks and contribute to a shared open dataset on Hugging Face, removing the need for expensive teleoperation rigs or dedicated robotics labs.
