Hugging FaceManual Control
Guide the arm yourself and record while you do
Camera feed, latency and gripper in one window. Drive it from the keyboard, from sliders, or in leader-follower mode where the second arm mirrors your motion. Every move can go straight into a dataset.

Cloud Robotics Inference
The policy runs on a cloud GPU, the arm moves at your desk
Pick a model, type an instruction in plain language, hit start. The computation runs either locally on the robot or on a rented GPU, and the joint targets stream back.
InferenceE-STOPSample data
AI Pilot - autonomous control
Pick a model, then a trained policy (or the base model), and enter an instruction in plain language. The model computes joint targets and streams them to the robot until you stop the pilot.

Your episodes become your own policy
Select the datasets you recorded, set model and hyperparameters, start the run. The GPU is rented by the hour and the finished checkpoint lands back in your workspace, ready for your arm.

Let remote operators control and supervise your robot arms
Your setup keeps running with your trained policy. If the arm gets stuck, a remote operator sees it in the live view, takes over, steers the arm back into its start position and hands control back to the policy.
- 1Policy running Your trained policy works through the task on its own.
- 2Arm stuck The operator sees in the live view that the arm is stuck.
- 3Operator takes over One click on “Take over” pauses the policy.
- 4Back to the start position Joint by joint, the operator steers the arm back into its start position with the keyboard.
- 5Back to the policy The policy carries on from the corrected pose. The intervention is counted.
Step 1 of 5Policy running
Your trained policy works through the task on its own.
Animated mock-up of the operator view over a real recording, played in reverse in step 4. In a live session the operator sees your camera stream.
Your setup keeps running
Arm, cameras and policy stay where they are. You start the run and release the robot for operators.
A human only when needed
The operator only steps in when the policy gets stuck and hands back right after. The emergency stop is always within reach.
Paid by the hour
You set the maximum hourly rate when you release the robot. Only the minutes the session actually ran are billed.

How It Works
Get started in three simple steps
01
Select Your Robot
Choose from our supported robot arms or request support for your hardware.
02
Download Our Software
Install our lightweight client on your robot controller.
03
Start Operating
Connect to our operator network and begin collecting data.
Three ways to get training data
Record it yourself, have it recorded, or buy it
A policy is only as good as the episodes behind it. You can collect them with your own hands, pay operators around the world to collect them on your setup, or buy a finished dataset from the marketplace.
Record it yourself
Plug your arm into the desktop client, hit record, and the episodes land in LeRobot format on your own machine. No Python, no setup weekend.
Get the desktop clientHire operators
Skilled operators from over 50 countries take control of your arm remotely and record the task you describe. You pay by the hour and only for the sessions you book.

Desktop App & CLI
Your arm. Your machine. Your data.
Install the AY-Robots client and record imitation learning datasets with your SO-100 or any supported arm. No Python, no terminal, no setup weekend.
- Detects your arm and cameras automatically
- Guided recording: task, reset, record, review, upload
- Exports straight to the LeRobot dataset format
- Your data stays local until you choose to upload
Prefer the terminal? Install the CLI with a single command.
No CLI build has shipped yet, so the install command is not shown here: it would only stop with "no release published yet". It appears as soon as the first build is out. The download page tracks what is published.
The CLI also runs as an MCP server, so Claude Code and other agents can operate your arm directly. MCP integration
Simulation in the browser
Drive the SO-100 right here
WASD moves the base, Q/E and R/F drive the joints, space closes the gripper. No install, no account, the same kinematics as the real arm.
Manual Control - SO-100 SimulationSample data

Keyboard
Hover the scene, then WASD drives base and shoulder, Q/E the elbow, R/F the wrist, T/G rolls it and space closes the gripper. The keys light up as you press them - or hold them here with the mouse.
Recording
Every move in the sim can be stored as an episode, exactly like on the real arm.
