OpenArm is a fully open-source 7DOF humanoid robot arm (hardware, firmware, and software) designed for physical AI research and deployment in contact-rich environments. It supports teleoperation with bilateral force feedback, imitation learning, simulation, and reproducible real-world data collection via a standardized evaluation cell.

Use cases

• collect teleoperation data for imitation learning
• train RL policies on a real robot arm
• run reproducible physical AI benchmarks
• build an affordable bimanual humanoid research platform
• simulate a humanoid arm in MuJoCo or Genesis
• control robot arm motors over CAN

When to choose

• you need an affordable, fully open-source robot arm for physical AI research
• you want safe human-robot interaction with compliant, backdrivable joints
• you need bilateral force feedback for contact-rich teleoperation
• you want reproducible evaluation conditions across labs

When to avoid

• you need an industrial high-payload manipulator
• you want a turnkey commercial robot with vendor support
• you are not comfortable assembling or sourcing hardware components
