OpenAMRobot (github.com)

OpenAMRobot, a project by Botshare LTD, introduces an innovative open-source robotics ecosystem designed to make advanced embodied AI more accessible and affordable. Targeted at a wide range of users—from SMEs and startups to researchers and educators—the platform features both DIY kits and fully assembled robots, encouraging collaboration and customization over vendor lock-in. With significant pre-order discounts available until the end of December 2026, OpenAMRobot is set for initial dispatch in April 2027, supporting a diverse array of applications including industrial automation, logistics, and human-robot collaboration. This modular platform incorporates advanced capabilities such as dual-arm manipulation, AI-based perception, and a flexible ROS 2 software infrastructure. It enables users to teach robots new tasks through demonstration and iterative learning, thus streamlining the traditional programming model. Key technical components include a lift mechanism, enhanced mobility, and various simulation and navigation systems, making it adaptable for educational purposes, research, and industrial applications. OpenAMRobot stands out in the AI/ML community for its commitment to open-source development, aiming to reduce barriers in robotics innovation and reshape the landscape of embodied AI research.
