Try the controls right now
This is the exact SO-100 control surface our operators use. Click into the view and steer the arm with your mouse and keyboard - no install, no signup.
Tip: hover the simulation, then use your mouse to orbit and the on-screen controls to move the joints.
Robot arms you can operate
From low-cost research arms to industrial-grade manipulators - pick a platform and start collecting data.
Supported Robot Arms
We support a wide range of robot arms for teleoperation and data collection.
SO-100 / SO-ARM100
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.
A look inside the operator workspace
Three integrated tools — one platform.
Robot Control
Operate real robots in the field via low-latency WebRTC. WASD, gripper, and joint sliders — all from your browser.
Pick your location, see the latency
Edge servers in 8 regions keep round-trip below 80 ms for almost every operator.
