Before you buy — please read
This kit does not include the 3D-printed structural parts. You will need to print the frame yourself from the open-source files, or source it separately. Without them you cannot assemble a working arm.
This is developer hardware, not a children’s product. It assumes you are comfortable with Python, the LeRobot stack and 3D printing. If you want a robot that works out of the box, this is the wrong item — look at the Apitor coding kits instead.
Frequently asked questions
Is the SO-ARM101 robotic arm kit suitable for kids?
No, this is developer hardware rather than a children’s product. It assumes you are comfortable with Python, the LeRobot stack and 3D printing, so it suits adults, students and hobbyists rather than young children. For an out-of-the-box robot, the Apitor coding kits are a better fit.
What does the Seeed Studio SO-ARM101 robotic arm do?
It is an open-source imitation-learning arm designed for teaching a robot by demonstration. It works with the LeRobot and Hugging Face open-source robotics stack, and the designs and firmware are fully public.
What is in the box with the SO-ARM101 Pro arm kit?
The kit includes the servo motors, adapter board and cables, so the electronics side is complete. It does not include a battery or the 3D-printed structural parts.
Is assembly required for the SO-ARM101 robotic arm?
Yes, and you will need to print the frame yourself from the open-source files or source it separately. Without the 3D-printed structural parts you cannot assemble a working arm.
Does the SO-ARM101 robotic arm kit ship free and can I return it?
Yes, shipping is free to all US addresses, with a tracking number emailed on dispatch and delivery typically within 10 to 14 days. You have 30 days to return it, and faulty items are replaced or refunded free.
