RoboPeek

Robotics datasets in the browser. It works out the layout.

Get picks like this daily. Today's launch numbers, the top launches, AI and tech news, and a daily opportunity pick, straight to your inbox.

Robotics datasets each have their own layout. Paste a Hugging Face link and RoboPeek works out the structure (LeRobot v2 or v3, RLDS, MCAP, HDF5, Zarr, nested repos) and opens every episode in your browser. No custom viewer to build. Open source, by VideoDB.

Could you build this?

Partial A browser-based viewer that auto-detects common formats and streams episodes is buildable, but parsing many niche robotics formats (MCAP, RLDS, HDF5, Zarr) and rendering video and sensor data efficiently at scale takes real data-engineering work.

What it would actually take: Use a Python or WASM backend with the Hugging Face Hub API to list files and infer schema, plus parsers for each format (mcap, h5py, zarr, tensorflow-datasets). The browser side needs a video and time-series player with range requests for large files. Handling real multi-GB datasets efficiently requires familiarity with robotics data formats and streaming I/O.
