This dataset was created using [LeRobot](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot).

## Dataset Description

This dataset contains the first set of teleoperated demonstrations collected during a two-day hackathon using the LeRobot library and SO-101 robot arms in a leader–follower setup.
Each episode shows the follower arm picking one colored cube and placing it onto the matching colored cross inside a 2×2 grid.

Two synchronized RGB cameras were used:

- **Top camera**: overhead, provides a full 2D view of the workspace (arm, cube, grid).

- **Front/low camera**: slightly above ground level, facing the arm and grid to capture z-axis cues and arm self-pose.

The background was masked with cardboard panels, but ambient lighting varied throughout the day; this variation is preserved and is useful for robustness studies.

Intended for vision-based imitation learning, multi-view fusion, and tabletop manipulation research.


### Use Cases

- **Imitation Learning**: Behavior cloning from teleop demonstrations.

- **Multiview Perception**: Fusing top + front perspectives for depth inference without explicit depth sensors.

- **Robustness to Lighting**: Evaluating policy sensitivity to illumination drift.

- **State–Action Alignment**: Leveraging synchronized proprioception and images.

- **Policy Bootstrapping for curricula**: pretrain on single-cube before multi-cube tasks.


## Data Collection

### Teleoperation & Hardware

- **Leader–Follower teleop**: human drives a leader arm; follower SO-101 replicates to produce demonstrations.

- **Workspace**: Tabletop with 2×2 grid; only one cell has a colored cross. One cube is placed in its matching cross per episode.

- **Cameras**:

  - **Front**: static overhead.

  - **Left**: static frontal view emphasizing depth.

- **Environment**: Cardboard background; illumination changes across time are present in the data.

### Episode Protocol

1- Move to pre-grasp and visually localize the target cube.

2- Approach and grasp the cube.

3- Transport and align over the colored cross.

4- Place, release, and return to neutral.


## Known Limitations

Lighting drift: Varying brightness/temperature across episodes; apply color constancy, normalization, or photometric augmentation.

Occlusions: Hand/gripper and cube may occlude from the front camera during close approaches.

No depth sensor: Only RGB; consider multi-view fusion or learned depth cues.

Action semantics: Confirm whether actions are delta-pose or joint velocities in each metadata.json.

Early-phase variability: Being the first batch, some episodes may include exploratory motions, hesitations, or failed initial grasps that later recover—useful for learning robustness but consider filtering for clean BC.
