Power Supply Notice

Due to regional differences, the power adapter is not included. If local customs restrict power supplies, please purchase a compatible adapter locally or order one from our store.

Overview

Lightweight Design for Fatigue-Free Operation

Weighing only 663g, this 6+1 DoF master arm features low-friction joint actuators for a smooth, effortless operational feel. Its ergonomic end-effector grip perfectly aligns with natural finger curvature, ensuring zero hand fatigue even during prolonged motion capture and demonstrations.

12-Bit Encoders for Precise Trajectory Capture

Equipped with 12-bit magnetic encoders (0.088° resolution) across all 7 joints, it precisely captures subtle wrist and finger movements. The collected motion data is free of frame drops or jitters, providing clean trajectories that can be fed directly into imitation learning models without extra filtering.

Broad Compatibility for Multiple Follower Arms

Offers broad compatibility, seamlessly driving the Star Arm 102-FL as well as third-party follower arms (e.g., reBot B601-DM and Xinghai Tu). A single master device can control multiple execution platforms, significantly reducing hardware costs for multi-platform teleoperation.

Plug-and-Play Setup for Rapid Deployment

Operates on a compact 12V/3A power supply with direct USB serial connectivity. Features driver-free setup on Ubuntu 22.04, with simple CH340 driver deployment for Windows and macOS to get up and running within 5 minutes.

Development Ecosystem

LeRobot Ecosystem Integration

Officially recognized in the Hugging Face LeRobot ecosystem as a standard teleoperation device. It allows direct collection of Hugging Face-compatible datasets without additional adapter setup, streamlining imitation learning data collection, model training, and real-world deployment for cutting-edge Embodied AI research.
