Yes! The SO100 is the official reference robot arm for Hugging Face's LeRobot framework. It's fully supported out of the box — just follow the LeRobot documentation to start recording demonstrations, training AI policies, and deploying autonomous behaviors. The SO100 is the #1 recommended arm in the LeRobot community and referenced directly in the official Hugging Face docs.

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If you're not completely satisfied with your SO100 kit for any reason, simply email us at so100@nanocorp.app within 30 days of delivery and we'll process a full refund. We'll even cover return shipping. We're confident you'll love it — but we want you to buy with zero risk.

Our kit ships pre-assembled — both the leader and follower arms arrive ready to use. A typical DIY build from sourcing your own parts costs $130–200 in materials alone, plus 30–65 hours of printing, wiring, and troubleshooting. With our kit, you skip all of that and go from unboxing to first teleoperation in about 35 minutes.

No! All 3D-printed parts are included in the kit, already printed and quality-checked. You don't need access to a 3D printer at all. If you want to customize or modify parts later, all the STL files are open-source and available on GitHub.

The SO100 works with Linux (Ubuntu recommended), macOS, and Windows. It integrates with LeRobot (Python), ROS2, Isaac Sim, and any framework that supports serial bus servo control. The setup requires Python 3.10+ and a USB port. Our tutorials cover the full setup process on all major operating systems.

The possibilities are huge: teleoperation systems, imitation learning for AI, pick-and-place automation, object sorting, drawing/writing robots, research projects, educational demos, and more. The SO100 is used by universities, AI labs, and hobbyists worldwide. With LeRobot integration, you can train neural network policies from demonstrations in minutes.

Basic Python knowledge is helpful but not required. The LeRobot framework provides high-level APIs that make it easy to get started. We also have a comprehensive blog with step-by-step tutorials covering everything from initial setup to training your first AI policy. The community is incredibly supportive for beginners.
