Before you shortlist it
Evaluate the complete experiment: arm, control interface, sensing, tooling and the engineering time needed to make them work together.
- Validate real-time host, network and control-interface requirements before ordering.
- Check the end-effector mass and whether your experiment needs contact-force control or only position commands.
- Agree the installation, application risk assessment, training and support responsibilities in writing.
Ask the supplier to demonstrate your complete application with representative parts and tooling. Confirm the exact configuration, controller, interfaces, local support, and delivery scope.
This profile records published information. Community reviews should describe the installation, time in use, and observed results.

Robot learning
LeRobot camera placement for a first manipulation task
Choose and preserve camera views that reveal grasping, transfer and release, then verify the observations a LeRobot policy actually receives.
Programming & controls
Robot programming methods: pendant, hand guiding, offline and code
Choose a robot programming workflow by separating taught poses, motion logic and external software, then plan the checks needed to move from simulation to a real cell.
