Hardware Assembly 硬件装配

Build the structural frame, then set up the workspace, four arms and three cameras. Verify the actual device mapping after assembly, then align the camera views with the saved installation references. 先完成结构框架搭建,再布置工作区、四条机械臂与三台相机。装配后确认实际设备映射,再将相机画面与已有安装参考对齐。

No assembly experience needed. Follow the video to quickly build your BREE frame.零经验也能轻松上手,跟着视频快速搭好 BREE 框架。
Note说明

See BREE Assets for the rig and hardware references. Use System Calibration to check H poses and camera overlays after assembly. 机架与硬件参考见 BREE 资源。装配完成后,通过系统标定检查 H 位与相机叠加。

1 · Frame construction1 · 框架搭建

Build the 4040 aluminum frame first, then fit the panels, arm mounts, cameras and lighting. The assembled frame is 1200 mm wide × 600 mm deep × 700 mm high. Dimensions in the drawing and the material table below are in millimeters.先搭建 4040 铝型材框架,再安装面板、机械臂底座、相机与照明。框架外形为宽 1200 × 深 600 × 高 700 mm。下方工程图与物料表中的尺寸单位均为毫米。

The profile cut list contains 17 pieces with a total finished length of 11.44 m; allow for cutting loss when ordering stock. Printed mount models are listed in Calibration fixtures and mounting hardware.型材下料共 17 根,成品净长合计 11.44 m,采购原料时另计切割损耗。安装打印件模型见标定夹具与安装部件。

Build sequence搭建顺序

  1. Check the cut lengths and prepare the brackets, matching screws and slot nuts. Insert nuts needed inside closed frame sections before closing the joints.核对型材下料长度,准备角码、配套螺钉与槽内螺母。封闭连接前,先装入后续安装所需的槽内螺母。
  2. Build two side frames. Each uses two 700 mm posts and two 520 mm short beams. Keep the corners square and leave the bolts loose enough for alignment.先组装两个侧框,每个侧框使用 2 根 700 mm 立柱和 2 根 520 mm 短横梁。校正直角,先预紧连接螺栓。
  3. Connect the side frames using four 1120 mm long beams. Check the 1200 × 600 × 700 mm outside dimensions and compare the diagonals before tightening the outer frame.用 4 根 1120 mm 长横梁连接两个侧框。核对 1200 × 600 × 700 mm 外形尺寸并比较对角线,再拧紧外框。
  4. Install the remaining 1120 mm beam and four 240 mm supports at the locations in the drawing. Follow the drawing’s mounting dimensions when positioning arm bases and upper supports.按工程图位置安装剩余 1 根 1120 mm 横梁和 4 根 240 mm 支撑。机械臂底座与上部支撑的定位按图中安装尺寸执行。
  5. Fit the work / cover panels, side panels and rear panel. Secure the mounting parts and lighting, then route cables along the frame so they clear the shared workspace.安装工作台板 / 顶板、侧板与背板,再固定安装件和照明。沿框架整理线缆,留出共享工作区。
  6. Check that the frame stands level, the connectors are tight and the mounts do not shift. Continue with workspace layout, device assignment and camera alignment below.检查框架放置平稳、连接件紧固、安装件无松动,再继续下方工作区布局、设备分配与相机对齐流程。

The operating guide uses the following example mapping. Verify it with lerobot-find-port after every reconnect; connection order alone does not guarantee device numbers. 操作指南采用以下示例映射。每次重连后通过 lerobot-find-port 核对,插入顺序并不保证设备编号固定。

Arm机械臂 Type类型 Port端口 Calibration ID标定 ID
Left follower左从臂follower/dev/ttyACM0follower_arm_left
Right follower右从臂follower/dev/ttyACM1follower_arm_right
Left leader左主臂leader/dev/ttyACM2leader_arm_left
Right leader右主臂leader/dev/ttyACM3leader_arm_right

4 · Camera rig4 · 相机机架

The operating guide uses the following example camera indices; confirm each live view before running commands: 操作指南中的相机编号示例如下;运行命令前按实时画面确认:

Camera相机 Device设备 Mount安装位置
Global (overhead)全局(俯视)/dev/video0Fixed overhead mount over the workspace工作区上方固定俯视支架
Left wrist左腕/dev/video2Left follower gripper左从臂夹爪
Right wrist右腕/dev/video4Right follower gripper右从臂夹爪

All cameras run 640×480 @ 30 fps, MJPG. After mounting, their exact pose is locked in during System Calibration — mount them roughly now, align them precisely later. 所有相机以 640×480 @ 30 fps、MJPG 运行。安装后,相机的精确位姿会在系统标定阶段锁定——现在先大致安装,之后再精确对齐。

5 · Preserve the installation reference5 · 保留安装参考

The camera workflow compares live views with saved reference images. Keep camera mounts, lighting and arm poses stable.相机流程将实时画面与已保存参考图对比。保持相机支架、光照与机械臂姿态稳定。
