基于数据的学习型机器人研究需要一种新型硬件平台,既能执行策略,又能作为具身数据采集工具。我们推出ToddlerBot,一款低成本、开源的人形机器人平台,专为可扩展的策略学习与机器人及人工智能研究设计。该平台支持无缝获取高质量仿真与真实世界数据。即插即用的零点校准与可迁移电机系统辨识技术,确保高保真数字孪生,实现仿真到现实的零样本策略迁移。友好的遥操作界面简化了从人类示范中学习运动技能的真实数据收集流程。凭借其数据采集能力与类人设计,ToddlerBot是实现全身运动操作的理想平台。其紧凑尺寸(0.56米,3.4公斤)保障了在真实环境中的安全运行。通过全3D打印与开源设计结合市售部件,总成本控制在6000美元以下,实现可复现性。完整文档使具备基础技术能力者即可完成组装与维护,已通过独立复现验证。我们通过臂展、承重、续航测试,运动操作任务,以及双机器人协作清理玩具场景等实验,展示了其能力。通过提升机器学习兼容性、功能能力和可复现性,ToddlerBot为机器人研究提供了可扩展学习与动态策略执行的坚实平台。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Learning-based robotics research driven by data demands a new approach to robot hardware design-one that serves as both a platform for policy execution and a tool for embodied data collection to train policies. We introduce ToddlerBot, a low-cost, open-source humanoid robot platform designed for scalable policy learning and research in robotics and AI. ToddlerBot enables seamless acquisition of high-quality simulation and real-world data. The plug-and-play zero-point calibration and transferable motor system identification ensure a high-fidelity digital twin, enabling zero-shot policy transfer from simulation to the real world. A user-friendly teleoperation interface facilitates streamlined real-world data collection for learning motor skills from human demonstrations. Utilizing its data collection ability and anthropomorphic design, ToddlerBot is an ideal platform to perform whole-body loco-manipulation. Additionally, ToddlerBot's compact size (0.56m, 3.4kg) ensures safe operation in real-world environments. Reproducibility is achieved with an entirely 3D-printed, open-source design and commercially available components, keeping the total cost under 6,000 USD. Comprehensive documentation allows assembly and maintenance with basic technical expertise, as validated by a successful independent replication of the system. We demonstrate ToddlerBot's capabilities through arm span, payload, endurance tests, loco-manipulation tasks, and a collaborative long-horizon scenario where two robots tidy a toy session together. By advancing ML-compatibility, capability, and reproducibility, ToddlerBot provides a robust platform for scalable learning and dynamic policy execution in robotics research.
