# OpenRobot device selection guide

> Choose the capture system by whether the task requires stereo depth, a single wide field of view, or a custom sensing modality.

## Stereo-cap

Choose Stereo-cap when synchronized left/right video, stereo calibration, and
a high-rate 6-axis IMU are important. Typical use cases include egocentric
robotics training data for hands, objects, close-range manipulation, and
spatial task work.

Stereo-cap records locally to an included receiver. The configured kit includes
the cap, mounted stereo camera, cable, receiver and casing, 10,000 mAh power
bank, selected removable SD storage, and setup documents.

Public planning prices:

- 128 GB: USD 250
- 256 GB: USD 285
- 512 GB: USD 330
- 1 TB: USD 440

## Mono-cap

Choose Mono-cap when a single wide-FOV view is sufficient and spatial stereo
depth is not required. The public configuration provides 1920 x 1080 video at
30 fps, a 9-axis IMU, recording metadata, and a mobile-app upload path.

## Custom Sensor Program

Choose the Custom Sensor Program when the required modality, optics, form
factor, synchronization, storage, packaging, or robot-mounted configuration is
not covered by a stock device. Programs move through requirements review,
technical validation, pilot planning, and production discussion.
