RoboCap: A New Platform for Egocentric Robot Learning
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.07217v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite its promise for scaling robot learning, egocentric manipulation data is still scarce today. Collection at scale requires vertically integrating ergonomic hardware with centimeter-precise 3D algorithms, at a precision that has not been publicly demonstrated. To address this gap, we introduce RoboCap, a 250\,g six-camera dual-IMU hat designed for in-the-wild egocentric data capture, and the Grounded API, a suite of device-agnostic 3D algorithms tuned for RoboCap. In this report, we demonstrate how hardware, calibration, and 3D algorithms
