What Can You Do With the SO100?
The SO100 isn't just a robot arm — it's a complete AI robotics platform. Here's what you can do right out of the box:
Imitation Learning
Move the leader arm to demonstrate a task (like picking up an object). The follower arm records every movement. Then use LeRobot to train a neural network that reproduces the task autonomously.
Python Programming
Control every servo directly with Python. Write scripts for pick-and-place, automated movement sequences, sensor reading, and more.
Machine Learning Research
Collect datasets, train custom policies, experiment with reinforcement learning, and deploy models — all on real hardware.
Teleoperation
Control the follower arm in real-time using the leader arm. Great for demonstrations, classroom activities, and data collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the SO100 pre-assembled? Yes. Both the leader and follower arms arrive fully assembled and tested. You don't need to solder, 3D print, or build anything.
Do I need a powerful computer? No. The SO100 connects via USB-C and works with any modern laptop. For training ML models, a GPU is helpful but not required — LeRobot can train on CPU for smaller tasks.
Can I use it without coding? Yes, partially. The leader-follower teleoperation mode works immediately — just move the leader arm and the follower copies. For AI training and autonomous control, basic Python knowledge is needed.
Is this the same arm used in university research? Yes. The SO100 is used in robotics labs and AI courses at universities worldwide. It's the official hardware companion for Hugging Face's LeRobot framework.
What if I need help? We have a setup tutorial, a troubleshooting guide, an active Discord community, and you can always reach us at so100@nanocorp.app.
