2. Product Overview

2.1 Product Introduction

DAS ( Data Acquisition System) is a general embodied intelligence multimodal data acquisition system. The DAS Gripper is a two-finger data acquisition device within the DAS series. Based on the advanced UMI design concept, it integrates five types (including eight units) of sensors, namely visual, tactile, acoustic, inertial and magnetic encoding sensors, enabling efficient acquisition of embodied intelligence multimodal data.

2.2 Core Features

  • Portable and User-Friendly: The lightweight design offers superior handling, achieving operational efficiency comparable to manual labor.
  • MultiModal Data Acquisition: Integrates multi-modal sensors such as bionic compound eyes, IMU, tactiles, microphone, and magnetic encoder
  • Multi-End Effector, Universal Adaptability: Provides various end effectors for handling irregularly shaped, differently sized, and variably weighted objects.
  • Local/Cloud Dual Modes: Local data processing ensures data’s security, while cloud mode facilitates unified management and remote acquisition.
  • Hardware agnostic: Deployable across multiple robot plamicroSDorms.
  • Product-Level Positioning: Capture-and-ready-to-use, user-friendly, providing convenience and easy to use.
  • Top-Tier Industrial Design: Designed by a Rolls-Royce designer.

4. Quick Start Guide for Data Collection Specialist

Step 1: Unboxing Inspection

  1. Open the packaging box and take out all components
  2. Assemble the gripper head.
    • Universal Grippers: Suitable for most grasping tasks.
    • Tactile Grippers: Suitable for tasks requiring precise force control.
    • Soft Grippers: Provide enhanced conformity.
  3. Insert microSD Card, press the power button once to start the device and the LED indicator will emit a green light. The current booting process may take longer than usual. We appreciate your patience and are prioritizing optimizations for subsequent updates. If the boot time exceeds 20 seconds, please contact technical support.
