Seeed Studio SO-ARM101 Low-Cost AI Arm Servo Motor Kit Pro for LeRobot
Seeed Studio SO-ARM101 Low-Cost AI Arm Servo Motor Kit Pro for LeRobot
Seeed Studio SO-ARM101 Low-Cost AI Arm Servo Motor Kit Pro for LeRobot is the Pro motor kit version of the SO-ARM101 open-source robotic arm system for LeRobot. It is built for users who want the leader arm + follower arm motor and control hardware for imitation learning, reinforcement learning, teleoperation, and AI robotics development, while sourcing the 3D printed skeleton separately.
The SO-ARM101 Pro series improves on SO-ARM100 with optimized wiring, different leader-arm gear ratios, and support for the newer workflow where the leader arm can follow the follower arm in real time. It is a strong fit for LeRobot experiments, teleoperation, data collection, simulation-to-real workflows, reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and Jetson-based edge robotics.
Important: This SKU is the motor kit only. It does not include the 3D printed skeleton. To build the complete arm structure, you need the separate SO-ARM101 3D Printed Skeleton.

Features
- Designed for LeRobot workflows including teleoperation, data collection, imitation learning, and reinforcement learning.
- Dual-arm hardware set for one leader arm and one follower arm.
- Optimized SO-ARM101 leader arm with updated gear ratios for joints 1 to 6.
- Improved cable routing compared with SO-ARM100 for more stable operation.
- Leader-following-follower support for newer learning and intervention workflows.
- Ready for Jetson and PC-based robotics development with UART control and LeRobot tooling.

Other Content
What this SKU includes
This SKU gives you the full motor and control hardware set for both arms, so you can build one leader arm and one follower arm for the SO-ARM101 Pro workflow.
What this SKU does not include
This is not a complete assembled robot arm, and it is not the 3D printed frame kit. If you need the printed structural parts, add the separate SO-ARM101 3D Printed Skeleton.
Power supply note
For the SO-ARM101 Arm Kit Pro, the leader arm uses 5V 4A during calibration and operation, while the follower arm uses 12V 2A. This must be kept correct throughout calibration, testing, and deployment.
