## Summary

The research team introduces RoboCap, a 250-gram head-mounted device with six cameras and dual IMUs for in-the-wild egocentric data collection, along with the Grounded API, a device-agnostic suite of 3D algorithms. The report shows how the hardware, calibration, and 3D algorithms work together to achieve state-of-the-art performance on public benchmarks, covering SLAM across diverse settings and rigs, egocentric depth estimation, and hand tracking when adapted to third-party devices.
