SuperSuit: An Isomorphic Bimodal Interface for Scalable Mobile Manipulation

High-quality, long-horizon demonstrations are essential for embodied AI, yet acquiring such data for tightly coupled wheeled mobile manipulators remains a fundamental bottleneck. Unlike fixed-base systems, mobile manipulators require continuous coordination between SE(2) locomotion and precise manipulation, exposing limitations in existing teleoperation and wearable interfaces. We present SuperSuit, a bimodal data acquisition framework that supports both robot-in-the-loop teleoperation and active demonstration under a shared kinematic interface. Both modalities produce structurally identical joint-space trajectories, enabling direct data mixing without modifying downstream policies. For locomotion, SuperSuit maps natural human stepping to continuous planar base velocities, eliminating discrete command switches. For manipulation, it employs a strictly isomorphic wearable arm in both modes, while policy training is formulated in a shift-invariant delta-joint representation to mitigate calibration offsets and structural compliance without inverse kinematics. Real-world experiments on long-horizon mobile manipulation tasks show 2.6times higher demonstration throughput in active mode compared to a teleoperation baseline, comparable policy performance when substituting teleoperation data with active demonstrations at fixed dataset size, and monotonic performance improvement as active data volume increases. These results indicate that consistent kinematic representations across collection modalities enable scalable data acquisition for long-horizon mobile manipulation.
