Build Your Own AI-Powered Robot
Low-Cost Robotics
Just $200 per arm! The SO-101 design makes cutting-edge robotics accessible to students, makers, and hobbyists at a fraction of traditional costs.
Leader-Follower Design
Train your robot in minutes with the intuitive leader arm. Simply move the leader to teach the follower arm, then watch as it repeats your actions autonomously.
AI-Ready Platform
Seamlessly integrates with the open-source 🤗 LeRobot library. Experiment with state-of-the-art machine learning models for robotics control and automation.
Expandable Design
Add camera mounts, tactile sensors, or even mount your arm on a mobile platform. A growing ecosystem of add-ons lets you customize your robot for specific applications.
Active Community
Join a global community of educators, makers, and researchers. Share designs, code, and applications with supportive enthusiasts through the LeRobot community on Discord.
