SO-100 6-DoF arm - the hardware our operators control every day.
Live Simulation
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.
Manual Control - SO-100 SimulationSample data
camera_frontFPS--SIM
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.

What you get
Work on your terms
No shifts, no minimum hours, no manager. You decide when you work and for how long.
Fully flexible
No fixed shifts and no minimum. Log in for twenty minutes or for a whole day - your call.
No upper limit
Want more hours? Take them. Nothing caps how much you work or earn in a week.
Payouts from EUR 10
Request a payout from 10 EUR – bank account (Stripe), PayPal or crypto. Every payout is reviewed and released by us.
Work from anywhere
A stable connection and a browser is all you need. Operators work from over 50 countries.
No robot required
You never buy hardware. The arms belong to the companies - you control them remotely.
You move up
Start at Beginner, reach Skilled, then Expert - after roughly five hours of collected episodes.
Why it matters
Your moves become a robot that works on its own
Robots learn from demonstrations. Every episode you record is one more example a model trains on - until the robot does the task without you.
You drive
You show the robot how a task is done, several times over.
Dataset grows
Cameras, joint angles and gripper state are stored per episode.
Model trains
A policy such as GR00T or SmolVLA learns from your demonstrations.
Robot works alone
The trained policy runs the task on its own, day and night.
What you record
Pick up a sample vial and place it in the rack, slot by slot.
What the robot learns
Precise grasping of thin objects and repeatable placement. Labs use this to run overnight sample handling without staff.

Robot not connected
Emergency stop: One click stops everything at once - inference, recording and control - and releases the motors. The arm is not held after that, so make sure it cannot fall.
Preview, no robot connected. The pictures are recorded frames from a real recording, not a live view. The real cockpit opens once your account is approved.
