Two cameras at eye level, approximately 60 mm apart and calibrated to each other. They preserve scene context and support stereo depth processing in your pipeline.
Six-camera cap
See the task from six angles.
Six global-shutter cameras on one cap. Two face forward, two face down at your hands, one sits on each side. All 1920 × 1200, all on one hardware trigger, one USB-C cable to the receiver.

Coverage
Where each camera looks.
Robot policies fail on what the head view never saw. The Six-camera cap keeps the scene, hands, and periphery in the same episode from six cameras that all fire together.
Two more cameras aimed at the table. Hand-object contact stays in frame when the head looks up, the shot a forward-only cap loses.
One wide camera on each end of the bar. Optional 60 fps on these two for fast hand motion and handovers at the edge of view.
Synchronization
All six cameras are hardware synchronized.
Every camera is global shutter and 1920 × 1200. All six expose on the same hardware trigger pulse and every frame carries a hardware timestamp, so frame N on one camera is frame N on all six. Nothing is aligned in software afterwards.
One trigger pulse. Six cameras.
One camera generates the trigger pulse and the other five expose on it. Per-frame hardware timestamps in microseconds on every stream.

Optional free-running mode for the two side cameras. Use per-frame device timestamps for post-capture alignment; this mode is not hardware-synchronized with the 30 fps streams.

≈505 Hz, on the same clock as every frame.
Intrinsics for every camera and extrinsics between them. Depth from the forward or downward cameras in your pipeline, not a black box.
One cable. One receiver.
USB-C out of the cap into the OpenRobot receiver.
All six cameras leave the cap on one USB-C cable. The receiver records locally and is controlled from a phone over Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Bring your own compatible removable SD storage and USB power bank. No laptop in the capture loop, no onboard battery on the head.
