Grabette: an open system to record robot-manipulation data

Grabette is an open-source, handheld gripper system designed to solve the data bottleneck in robot learning. It allows anyone to record complex manipulation tasks simply by performing them by hand, using integrated cameras to capture the demonstration without needing an actual robot. The captured data is then processed into a clean, robot-ready format, with the goal of building a large, collaborative dataset for the community. This entirely open-source project includes the handheld Grabette for recording and its robotic twin, Gripette, for executing the learned skills on an arm.
