# Robot learning guides.

Practical guides to egocentric data, teleoperation, UMI capture and LeRobot datasets.

## [What is egocentric data for robot learning?](https://wake.inc/blog/what-is-egocentric-data/)

Egocentric data explained: what first-person video captures, how it differs from robot action data and what to check before using it for robot learning.

## [Teleoperation vs egocentric human video.](https://wake.inc/blog/teleoperation-vs-egocentric-video/)

Compare teleoperation data and egocentric human video for robot learning: observations, actions, embodiment, collection constraints and evaluation.

## [UMI gripper vs head-mounted capture.](https://wake.inc/blog/umi-gripper-vs-head-mounted-capture/)

Understand UMI gripper demonstrations and head-mounted video: captured signals, task fit, viewpoint limitations and questions for a robotics data brief.

## [LeRobot dataset format: what buyers should check.](https://wake.inc/blog/lerobot-dataset-format/)

A practical guide to LeRobot dataset structure, episode metadata, video alignment and validation, with distinctions from HDF5 and RLDS.

## What should your robot learn next?

Bring the task, setting and signals you need. We’ll work through the collection and annotation requirements with you.
