Reference rig

Multimodal capture hardware, field-deployed

We deploy capture systems — we do not run a commodity glasses logistics op. Pro deployments pair Stereolabs ZED X head depth, dual wrist RGB, and PaXini PXCap tactile gloves in clap-synced harnesses — logged to MCAP for ROS2 and Foxglove pipelines. Mono ego RGB remains available for high-volume denselabel programs.

HEAD STEREO

Stereo & depth head

Metric RGB-D where the work happens

Stereolabs ZED X-class head rigs — stereo RGB-D, IMU, and 6-DoF pose for contact-rich factory capture.

WRIST RGB

Dual wrist cameras

Tight hand–tool framing

Left and right wrist RGB clap-synced to head depth — the multimodal streams buyers ask for in demos.

TACTILE

Data gloves & pressure

Contact-rich dexterous capture

PaXini PXCap-class gloves — joint angles and distributed tactile force, time-aligned to video.

SYNC

Clap sync & MCAP

Sync & calibration

Time-aligned in the field — not stitched in post

  • Clap-sync board visible in all streams at session start
  • Start order: head ZED X → chest → wrist L → wrist R → PaXini gloves
  • Per-frame timestamp CSV: frame index ↔ wall-clock
  • Camera intrinsics / extrinsics in session metadata
  • MCAP time-indexed logs — Foxglove / Rerun compatible

Data is logged in MCAP — the ROS2 bag format — for playback in Foxglove Studio and integration with LeRobot / Hugging Face export pipelines.
