PiPER Mate Series: Teleoperation Robotic Arms for AI 机器人应用
A robotic-arm teleoperation platform for real-time control of Piper arms, AI training-data collection and hands-on robot-learning workflows. Build with Python, ROS 2 Humble and LeRobot.
A clear path from human motion to robot-learning experiments
PiPER Mate is designed for direct teleoperation workflows: capture demonstrations on physical hardware, evaluate control approaches and integrate an open robotics stack into research or education projects.
Designed around real-time teleoperation
The project documentation describes direct leader-arm control with automatic joint mapping, optional gripper coordination and safeguards for experimental use.
Real-time Teleoperation
Control a Piper arm from PiPER Mate motion input for responsive demonstrations and teleoperation experiments.
Automatic Joint Mapping
Convert PiPER Mate joint angles into Piper control commands through the published software workflow.
Safety-aware Controls
The project includes joint-angle limits, torque control and exception handling described in its README.
ROS 2 Humble
Use ROS 2 nodes for robotics-system integration on the documented Ubuntu 22.04 workflow.
Python SDK
Start with a direct Python path for quick testing, teaching and teleoperation setup.
LeRobot Path
Explore the project’s LeRobot integration path for AI-training and robot-learning research workflows.
Choose the integration route that fits your work
The repository provides separate implementation paths rather than a closed application layer.
python3 ./Python_SDK/piper_pipermate.py
# Or build the ROS 2 Humble workspace
colcon build
source install/setup.bash
# Refer to the repository for current dependencies,
hardware setup and full commands.
