Universal Manipulation Interface (UMI) devices allow human experts to demonstrate tasks for robot learning without teleoperating physical robots. Using these demonstrations as training data still requires a consistent hardware setup, calibration, and data processing.

We present UMI-Live, a full-stack open-source bimanual UMI system for in-the-wild data collection. We design our custom UMI-Live hardware to integrate camera and LiDAR--inertial sensing, onboard compute, and power, without external tracking equipment or calibration within the collection environment.

We implement a simple user interface for recording data while an asynchronous pipeline performs parallel SLAM reconstruction and publishes training-ready datasets. We also release software that supports dual-YAM teleoperation and VLA policy training and inference.

We validate UMI-Live data quality by fine-tuning $π_{0.5}$ and MolmoAct2, achieving success rates of 10/10 and 8/10, respectively on a bimanual pick-and-place task. Furthermore, we release 40 hours of UMI-Live data across three tasks, and complete hardware designs, software, and reproduction guides at our $[project website](https://umi-live.github.io/)$.
