Teleoperation capture hardware
Imitation models need logs from the grippers and camera mounts you will ship, not a rental arm with different kinematics.
Teleoperation capture hardware records synchronized video, joint states, and success labels while an operator drives the same end effector your fleet will use. Hardware Form designs the rig, electronics, and production path so capture volume can scale with your build program.
What belongs on the bench
Most teams underestimate sync and mounting. A wrist camera that slips half a degree between sessions will show up as label noise months later.
| Layer | Typical choices | Production tie-in |
|---|---|---|
| Leader interface | Exoskeleton, spacemouse, second arm | Ergonomic fixtures you can bolt to a work cell |
| Follower robot | Your production arm or AMR manipulator | Same motor drivers and gearboxes as field units |
| Logging | MCAP, ROS 2 bags, custom HDF5 | Edge recorder with deterministic timestamps |
| QA | Golden trajectories, dropped frame checks | Factory functional test hooks |

Sync architecture
PPS, hardware trigger lines, or PTP on a dedicated logging subnet.
Firmware + recorder
On-robot buffer, checksums, and upload policies that match your security model.
Pilot to OEM build
From five bench units to PCBA, assembly, and test for a capture fleet.
Teleoperation capture FAQ
Do you sell datasets?
No. We build and manufacture the hardware and logging stack that produces data on your tasks and your mechanisms.
Can you match our existing robot API?
Yes, when you share the control interface and safety limits. We align recorder schemas with your training pipeline.
How is this different from renting a lab?
The rig uses your production end effector, camera extrinsics, and lighting targets so policies transfer to units you actually ship.
