Seeking Feedback: Open-Source Mobile Manipulator Platform for Robotics Development

We’re developing an affordable, open-source mobile manipulator platform – a wheeled robot with a 6-DoF arm, powered by machine learning for adaptable behavior on commodity hardware. Our goal is to provide a flexible foundation for building real-world robotic applications across different industries.

By “open-source,” we mean that both the hardware and software are fully accessible and modifiable. This gives you the freedom to customize the system to meet your specific needs—whether for a unique use case or new capabilities.

The robot comes as a DIY kit, providing all the components needed for assembly, so you have full control over the build process. Along with the hardware, we provide a fully integrated software stack, including ROS2 bindings, manipulation policies, navigation, and perception, so you can start testing and deploying applications right away.

At this stage, we’re looking for technical feedback from developers who are actively working on robotics applications, and we’d like to understand how our platform could be more useful or where it may be lacking. We want to hear about your real-world pain points, integration challenges, and the features that would make this platform a better fit for your needs.

If you’re actively developing robotic applications or working on integrating mobile manipulators, please schedule an interview with us. We’d appreciate your thoughts, and we’d love to collaborate to refine the platform. Your input will help shape future updates and improvements to the platform.
