Your arm. Your machine.Your data.
The client detects your arm and cameras automatically and guides you through recording, review, and upload — straight into LeRobot format. Custom tasks, camera setups, and arm configurations included. No Python, no terminal, no tinkering weekend.

Five steps, one loop
The client guides you through every round — that is how datasets are made that actually move models forward.
Task
Describe the task — it goes into every episode as a language annotation.
Reset
Set up the scene, place objects. The client shows you both camera feeds.
Record
Demonstrate with the leader arm. Joint angles and images run in sync.
Review
Watch every episode, sort out weak ones — quality over quantity.
Upload
Only when you are ready: upload and train. Until then, everything stays local.
Prefer the terminal? One command.
The CLI installs with one line and also runs as an MCP server — Claude, ChatGPT, and other agents can operate your arm directly.

TheRobotStudio / LeRobot (Hugging Face)
Popular low-cost teleop data collector (Leader/Follower) for Imitation Learning and VLA.
Koch v1.1
LeRobot (Hugging Face)
Similar purpose as SO-100, but with Dynamixel ecosystem.
Franka Research 3 (FR3)
Franka Robotics
Very popular in research (precise, torque-controlled), but significantly more expensive than DIY arms.
Franka Production 3 (FP3)
Franka Robotics
Production variant (specs vary by configuration).
Franka Emika Panda
Franka Emika
Classic research arm, often seen in older manipulation/IL datasets.
Interbotix WidowX-250
Trossen Robotics / Interbotix
Affordable & popular; often used as entry point for imitation/teleop.
ALOHA ViperX-300 6DOF
Interbotix/Trossen (ALOHA-inspired)
Variant with modifications inspired by ALOHA 2 proposals.
