Fabian Kerj shared photos of the OpenArm UMI handheld gripper (with camera module and fingertip markers), noting it's available for those who want it and that the team is moving to a different recording strategy. OpenArm is an open-source robot arm project; UMI-style handheld grippers are used to collect robot manipulation demo data. Chris Paxton called this line of work really important.
