"""
Scrape robotics company websites for demo videos and download them locally.
Focus: robot manipulation (arms, grasping, assembly, surgical, warehouse picking).
1. Loads (or creates) robotics_companies.txt with company names and URLs (manipulation-focused by default).
2. Visits each URL, finds video links (direct .mp4/.webm, YouTube, Vimeo, video src).
3. Extracts language captions when available (title, aria-label, figcaption, og:title/og:description).
4. Optionally runs a captioning model (e.g. BLIP-2) on sampled frames to describe what the robot is doing.
5. Downloads videos into online_demo_videos/ and saves a companion .txt with instruction, company, url, and model_caption.
6. Keeps a state file (scraped_state.json in out-dir) of processed URLs; reruns skip URLs already downloaded or skipped.
Usage:
uv run python scripts/robotics_demo_video_scraper.py
uv run python scripts/robotics_demo_video_scraper.py --companies robotics_companies.txt --out-dir online_demo_videos
uv run python scripts/robotics_demo_video_scraper.py --caption-model blip2 # add VLM caption per video
uv run python scripts/robotics_demo_video_scraper.py --crawl-sublinks --max-pages-per-site 20 # follow same-domain links to find more videos
uv run python scripts/robotics_demo_video_scraper.py --download-youtube # download YouTube/Vimeo via yt-dlp (pip install yt-dlp)
uv run python scripts/robotics_demo_video_scraper.py --require-robot --caption-model blip2 # keep only videos where VLM detects a robot
Requires: requests. Captioning: pip install transformers torch (or uv with [robometer]). YouTube/Vimeo download: pip install yt-dlp, then use --download-youtube.
Respect robots.txt and site terms of service; use for personal/educational purposes.
