ROBOTIS-GIT/open_manipulator

AI Manipulator and Open Manipulator

What it solves

It provides the official software interfaces and control tools for the ROBOTIS OpenMANIPULATOR platform, enabling users to operate the robot arm, integrate sensors, and build physical AI applications.

How it works

The project consists of a set of ROS 2 packages that act as the bridge between the hardware and the software, allowing developers to to control the robot and integrate it with other AI frameworks like LeRobot.

Who it’s for

Developers and researchers working with ROBOTIS OpenMANIPULATOR hardware who want to implement robotic control and physical AI experiments.

Highlights

  • Official ROS 2 support for OpenMANIPULATOR platforms.
  • Integration capabilities with Physical AI tools and frameworks like LeRobot.
  • Support for Docker images to simplify environment setup.
  • Access to complementary simulation models and pre-trained AI models via external links.
