Open-source ModPack turns robot teleoperation into a modular stack

ModPack makes teleoperation stack modular across different robots
The post introduces ModPack, an open-source modular teleoperation interface designed to avoid rebuilding a new teleop stack every time the robot embodiment changes.
What it does
- Uses a shared backpack-style infrastructure for teleoperation.
- Adds robot-specific leader arms so the system can adapt to different robots.
- Supports plug-in modules such as haptic feedback, active perception, and mobility.
Why it matters
The pitch is that teams can keep the core system simple for bimanual teleop, then extend it as needed instead of starting over for each platform. Because it is open source, others can customize and deploy it on their own robots.
