DROID
DROID Dataset TeamDROID (Distributed Robot Interaction Dataset) is a large in-the-wild robot manipulation dataset recorded by 50 collectors in North America, Asia and Europe on copies of one Franka-based robot platform: about 76k trajectories and 350 hours across 564 scenes and 86 tasks. It is distributed through TensorFlow Datasets and Cloud Storage, with a LeRobot-format copy on the Hugging Face Hub.
Neither the DROID repository nor its website states a license. The Hub copy declared here is LeRobot's conversion, which labels itself Apache-2.0 on its own authority.
Openness
2 medium confidence- license

The data downloads freely, but the team behind it has published no license, so there is no written permission to reuse it. LeRobot's copy on the Hub carries Apache-2.0, a label the converter chose rather than one the DROID authors granted.

Capability
3 medium confidenceDROID's strength is variety of place: 564 real scenes recorded by collectors on three continents. Every trajectory comes from the same robot, though, and the collection is under a tenth the size of AgiBot World's.
