HuggingFaceOpen Source Projects“LeRobot"A detailed guide has been released that provides a comprehensive overview of the entire process of how to assemble, configure and train to control an AI robot. The project aims to lower the barrier to entry for AI in robotics and support the open source ecosystem in robotics.
LeRobot co-founder Remi Cadene said the step-by-step guide is aimed at a wider audience, hoping to popularize AI-driven robotics and encourage innovation in the field. The guide is based on the open source robot kit Koch v1.1, which includes two 6-degree-of-freedom robotic arms and one or more cameras.
Looking ahead, LeRobot plans to develop a more affordable version of the Moss v1 robot that eliminates the need for 3D printing and only costs $150 to have two robotic arms. They hope to expand the robotics community and make full use of open source technology and Hugging Face Hub to quickly iterate on the next generation of robots.
At the same time, technology giants such as Google and OpenAI are also developing closed-source multimodal basic models for robots. Cadene emphasized that the open source approach is crucial because this new technology will ultimately promote social and industrial progress and should benefit all mankind.
