The hardware

Everything is in the box

In the kit

  • SO-ARM101 follower arm โ€” 5-DOF with a gripper
  • Leader arm for teleoperation and recording demonstrations
  • USB camera for the computer-vision and learning modules
  • Power supplies, cables and desk clamps โ€” everything wired in one box

You'll need

  • A computer with a USB port โ€” Windows, macOS or Linux. No GPU needed; the platform runs in the browser
  • A free USB port and about 40ร—40 cm of desk
  • An evening for assembly โ€” the first Lab module walks you through it, servo by servo

The kit ships unassembled โ€” building it is module one. Standard shipping is free worldwide; the delivery time for your country is shown at checkout.

Robonine Lab

Robonine Lab is included โ€” free

Every kit comes with access to Robonine Lab, a browser platform: connect the arms over USB, Bluetooth or WebRTC and work through twelve modules โ€” assembly, calibration, teleoperation, pick-and-place, computer vision, ArUco tracking, neural-network recognition and a final project. The tools you need along the way live in the same window.

A Robonine Lab lesson: the arm in a live 3D view with the movement planes explained alongside
  • 12 modules, from assembly to a final project
  • 15 tools: motor calibration, teleoperation, ArUco, OpenCV, a ROS2 lab, block-code
  • USB, Bluetooth or WebRTC โ€” or a virtual arm with no hardware attached
  • English and Russian interface
  • A certificate on completion

Open Robonine Lab

What you can do

From the first power-on to a task the arm does on its own

The modules on Robonine Lab follow the arm itself: build it, calibrate it, drive it by hand, then let the camera and the code take over.

Teleoperation and recording

Move the leader arm and the follower repeats it. Record the motion and replay it โ€” the same recordings are the dataset behind LeRobot policies.

Computer vision

With the camera on the follower arm: find objects by colour and shape with OpenCV, track ArUco markers and guide the gripper to them.

ROS2 and LeRobot

The stack research labs use โ€” nodes and topics in ROS2, Hugging Face LeRobot workflows โ€” on an arm you built yourself.

I have automated factories for twenty years and still learned things โ€” the LeRobot imitation learning setup is genuinely current. Kit quality is above what I expected.

Complete beginner and honestly nervous, but the first module has you assembling the arm with your hands, not staring at slides. By module five I was writing my own Python.

Bought it for my son and ended up doing half the modules with him. The instructions assume zero background, which was exactly right for us.

Doing this alongside my CS degree. The teleoperation module where the leader arm drives the follower is the best lab I have done anywhere, uni included.

I write backend code all day, robotics was new. The dataset recording and imitation learning modules were the perfect bridge โ€” real ML on real hardware, not a simulator.

Total career switcher here. Python from zero, then OpenCV, then my arm picking things up โ€” each module builds on the last without any jumps.

Retired and wanted a proper hobby. The Robonine Lab platform is clear enough that I never felt lost, and the arm has been on my desk running Python scripts ever since.

The content is good but delivery took almost three weeks and a couple of photos in the assembly instructions could be sharper. Once I got going, teleoperation with the leader arm worked exactly as shown.

I had never coded before and now my arm sorts blocks by colour with the camera. The 30โ€“40 minute modules fit around school easily.

The imitation learning module with LeRobot blew my mind. You record datasets by teleoperating the follower arm with the leader, then the arm repeats the task on its own.

Assembled the SO-ARM101 over one weekend โ€” assembly is literally module one, so you start with a working arm instead of theory. The live 3D view in Robonine Lab made checking each joint really easy.

FAQ

Before you buy

Do I need any robotics or coding experience?

No. Robonine Lab starts with the assembly and goes step by step: the first modules need no code at all, and Python comes in gradually, with the tools in the browser.

What computer do I need? Do I need a GPU?

Any reasonably recent Windows, macOS or Linux computer with a USB port. No GPU: the platform runs in the browser, and the arm connects over USB, Bluetooth or WebRTC.

Is it suitable for a 12-year-old?

Yes โ€” the kit is a low-voltage desktop arm and the modules assume no prior knowledge. Younger teens move faster with light parental involvement in the first weeks.

How do I get into Robonine Lab?

Go to lab.robonine.com and sign in with Google, GitHub or your email. Access is included with the kit at no extra charge; the first module is the assembly you are about to do.

Does it work with LeRobot without modification?

Yes. SO-ARM101 is part of the open SO-100/SO-101 ecosystem and works with the Hugging Face LeRobot workflows as they are โ€” teleoperation, recording demonstrations, training and running policies.

How hard is the assembly?

An evening. The first Lab module goes step by step, servo by servo; no soldering and no machining are involved.

How do delivery and returns work?

The kit ships from our warehouse in China. Standard shipping is free to every country; the checkout shows the delivery time for your address and an express option before you pay. An unopened kit can be returned within 14 days of receipt for a full refund.

How can I pay?

International bank cards โ€” Visa, Mastercard and more. Payment happens on a secure payment page.

What will I pay at the border?

Import duty and VAT are charged by your countryโ€™s customs, not by us. The checkout shows an estimate for your country before you pay, and the courier collects the actual amount on delivery.
