UMI gripper teaching: how GB / GT fit capture

UMI-gripper records human manipulation with a parallel gripper. GB covers video, inertial, and jaw width; GT adds fingertip tactile. Write locally first, then archive; capture and deployment stay separate.

Two versions, one workflow

UMI-GB records video, inertial, and jaw width for basic ops and early POCs; UMI-GT adds normal/shear fingertip tactile for contact, force, slip, and soft-object work.

Clips enter the sync queue only after a full SD write. Configured units can keep capturing offline until storage fills; they archive to NAS when online.

From teaching to execution validation

Capture mode and robot deployment mode are separate. Policy transfer still requires calibration, action adaptation and real-task evaluation; data capture alone does not promise training gains.

GT packing lists, battery life, and tactile ranges follow the configuration checklist — confirm versions and quantities with sales.

Related FAQ

What is the difference between UMI-GB and UMI-GT?
They share one capture workflow. UMI-GB records video, inertial, and jaw width; UMI-GT adds fingertip normal/shear tactile for contact and force-fusion experiments.
Can capture continue offline?
Yes. Configured devices still write to SD when Wi-Fi or NAS is down until storage fills; pending clips archive automatically once online.
Does capture data guarantee robot training success?
No. Capture and deployment modes are separate. Policy transfer still needs calibration, motion adaptation, and real-task evaluation.
