# Rice RobotΠ Lab

**Where robots Physically Interact with the world.**

The Rice RobotΠ Lab at Rice University, led by Prof. Kaiyu Hang, studies how robots can physically interact with an uncertain, contact-rich world. Our work spans manipulation planning, interactive perception, learning from in-the-wild video, and benchmarking infrastructure for the field.

## What you'll find here

This Hugging Face organization hosts the lab's open-source datasets, interactive demos, and model artifacts. For papers, members, and full project listings, please visit our [lab website](https://robotpilab.github.io/).

### On Hugging Face

- **EgoInfinity** *(coming soon)*: Large-scale automated reconstruction of 3D hand-object interactions from in-the-wild egocentric video, designed for scaling up robot training data.

### Other ongoing lab projects

- [**ManiDreams**](https://robotpilab.github.io/post/manidreams/): Open-source modular framework for uncertainty-aware manipulation planning over intuitive physics models.
- [**ManipulationNet**](https://robotpilab.github.io/post/manipulationnet/): Community-driven global infrastructure for benchmarking robot manipulation research at scale.
