About this dataset

HIW-500 records Unitree G1 humanoids under human teleoperation across 12 real homes in Southeast Asia on more than ten household tasks, with 161 subtask labels and over 148K subtask annotations. Head RGB stereo at 480p 30 fps, wrist RGB plus stereo IR at 480p 30 fps, 29-DoF joint states, end-effector state, IMU, odometry, whole-body teleoperation action traces, language annotations and camera intrinsics and extrinsics. This repo holds the raw ROS bag and MCAP recordings (around 10 TB); the LeRobot conversion is the sibling repo BitRobot/HIW-500-LeRobot. The card invites contact about additional commercial datasets.
