OpenArm

OpenArm is an open-source robotic arm platform designed for physical AI research, with mechanical designs, electronics, and software released publicly so labs can build, modify, and repair the hardware themselves. Like other open hardware efforts in manipulation, it targets a much lower cost than commercial cobots while supporting teleoperated data collection and learned policy deployment.

Why it matters for physical AI

Affordable, reproducible arms lower the barrier to collecting large demonstration datasets and validating policies on physical hardware, broadening who can contribute to manipulation research.
