The encoder module is open source too. One module packs a 15-bit magnetic encoder, bearing, hardware limit, and driver together. Design frames to match your robot's joints and you've got a leader arm for it. Bearings are already inside, so all you need is the frames.

We are excited to announce the release of a new OpenArm teleoperation device: KER (Kinematic Equivalent Replica). This is a lightweight leader device that shares the exact same joint structure as OpenArm 2.0. KER uses only encoders for each joint, no motors, allowing for smooth and easy operation with zero resistance. Every joint maps 1:1 to OpenArm 2.0, so no coordinate transforms are needed. This release marks the completion of the OpenArm 2.0 ecosystem. KER, OpenArm, and the Cell are all open source and are ready to be used in state-of-the-art reproducible research! 🦾 #OpenArm #OpenSource #Robotics

Introducing Universal Manipulation Exoskeleton (UME) A low-cost exoskeleton with real-time haptic torque feedback for learning autonomous policies that perform highly force-mediated, tightly space-constrained, visually occluded, whole-body, and long-horizon mobile manipulation tasks. Using UME, the teleoperator can unsheathe a heavy metal sword completely blindfolded. ume-exo.github.io/ 🧵1/N

Releasing the Unfolding Robotics blog! Time to unfold robotics: we trained a robot to fold clothes using 8 bimanual setups, 100+ hours of demonstrations, and 5k+ GPU hours. Flashy robot demos are everywhere. But you rarely see the real story: the data, the failures, the engineering. We’re sharing everything: code, data, and details in the blog → huggingface.co/spaces/lerobo…

How do we make robot policy evaluation reproducible across labs? Announcing OpenArm 02: a fully open-source dual arm platform, with a unified setup for reproducible evaluation: controlled tasks, backgrounds, lighting, and camera angles. ✅ Fully open-source, so anyone can replicate the setup anywhere ✅ AutoEval: 24/7 real-world evaluation with minimal human intervention (building on work by @zhiyuan_zhou_) ✅ Fair side-by-side policy comparison OpenArm is the open foundation to turn isolated results into shared progress. Releasing soon. Stay tuned.
