Aero UMI
Five-finger dexterous manipulation data-collection system
A wearable manipulation interface for collecting demonstrations and teleoperating robots. Matched joint for joint to Aero Hand, it records how a person moves and how hard they press, with every signal on one clock.
Full specifications
Joint by joint
Designed to match Aero Hand. Magnetic encoders read each joint angle directly, and calibration maps it to the corresponding joint on the hand.
Record how force changes
Captures the detail of contact force at the fingertips and palm as a task unfolds.
Every signal shares one moment.
All data streams run on one hardware-triggered clock, aligned to within 1 ms. Alignment is verified on every recording, not spot-checked.
- Hand joint angles
- Fingertip force
- Wrist 6-DoF pose
- Head 6-DoF pose
- Egocentric stereo RGB
- Wrist camera (configurable)
Light to wear. Quick to start.
Designed for high-precision collection that can run all day, so data collection fits the person doing the task.
The same interface drives the hand.
Aero UMI also works as a teleoperation rig: the operator moves, and Aero Hand follows in real time.
Data-collection kit
