LeRobot Shirt-Folding Dataset

The shirt-folding dataset from LeRobot's open-source 'Unfolding Robotics: Open-Source Shirt Folding from Data to Deployment' project, which trained a bimanual robot to fold t-shirts at a 90% success rate. Collected via real-world leader-follower teleoperation across 8 bimanual setups optimizing for diversity (25+ t-shirts, 8 backgrounds, varied camera/robot heights), structured as Level 1 (fold a laid-out shirt) and Level 2 (spread a crumpled shirt, fold, set aside). The full dataset has 5,688 episodes (~131h); a curated high-quality subset (lerobot/high_quality_folding) has 1,200 episodes (~30h). Each episode has 3 camera streams (base 480x640, two wrists 720x1280) and 16-dim joint+gripper states/actions, stored in LeRobotDataset v3.0 (video-encoded).
