Real Robot Operations

Use this sub-skill for UR5 + RealSense + SpaceMouse workflows around real Push-T demo collection, checkpoint evaluation, shared-memory motion/camera IO, timestamp alignment, and raw real-data conversion.

Route here when

• a task touches live robot preflight, demo capture, evaluation rollout, or real-robot data layout
• you need to reason about RealEnv, RTDEInterpolationController, SingleRealsense, MultiRealsense, Spacemouse, SharedMemoryRingBuffer, or SharedMemoryQueue
• you need to convert recorded robot episodes into a training-ready replay buffer or compute real Push-T metrics
• you need to diagnose timestamp, latency, camera, SpaceMouse, or RTDE failures

Route elsewhere when

• the task is simulation-only training, evaluation, or Hydra workspace composition: use ../training-and-evaluation/
• the task is generic ReplayBuffer, dataset schema, or sampler work: use ../data-and-replay-buffers/
• the task is model, policy, checkpoint, or prediction-shape reasoning: use ../policies-and-models/

Operating contract

• Never start the robot, cameras, or spacenavd from this skill.
• Treat emergency-stop reachability, camera connection, and SpaceMouse presence as manual safety confirmations.
• Use the bundled prereq checker only for import/executable/service inspection and optional RTDE socket reachability.
• Keep all real-robot commands bounded by the target robot IP, a known output directory, and the exact dataset/checkpoint path.
