It covers recording demonstrations, collecting episodes, training policies on growing datasets, deploying checkpoints, and using mutable Xet-backed storage to reduce repeated data transfers. ### Source excerpt Record, train, and deploy from one place with Strands Agents, LeRobot, and Hugging Face Storage Buckets You have an agent that can already record a demonstration and push it to the Hugging Face Hub. Now you want to run that loop continuously: collect episodes through the day, train a policy on the growing dataset, deploy it, and pull the next batch back to improve it. Run that loop once and every piece works. Run it every day and you start paying for the same byte transfers over and over. ## Grabette: an open system to record robot-manipulation data DevFeed: [Grabette: an open system to record robot-manipulation data]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Steve Nguyen; Claire Houziel; Gaelle Lannuzel; Simon Le Goff; Jeremy Laville; Étienne Published: 2026-07-21T00:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Hugging Face - Blog]() Topics: [Robotics](), [datasets](), [lerobot](), [hugging face](), [Open Source]() Tags: [ai](), [community](), [data](), [datasets](), [devices](), [hugging-face](), [lerobot](), [open](), [open-source](), [robot-manipulation](), [robotics](), [video]() ### AI overview Grabette is an open, low-cost handheld system for recording robot-manipulation demonstrations without requiring a robot, laboratory, or teleoperation rig.
