This is so cool! One of our community members built a Space on @huggingface with step by step build instructions for SO-ARM101. It includes nice 3D visualizations of each step with detailed description. Here is a link to the space: Join our Discord and share what you built:

We took part in the research preview of MHS from @AnthropicAI Here is Claude Code running a real SO-ARM101. Nothing in this was trained - no policy, no teleoperation, no demonstrations. The agent measured the workspace itself and wrote the motion. The calibration is the interesting part. No checkerboard, no camera intrinsics: the arm is its own ruler. Torque drops, a human rests the closed gripper on 16 dots the software draws in the camera view, and the robot reads back where they are. 4.1 mm position accuracy, 3.0 mm placement. Best run so far: 12 bricks placed with all four colour groups formed. A full hands-off run, start to finish, is what's next. Research preview today, open source coming soon.

$28 3D printed teleoperator device. And of course it's open source! The design features clean cable routing, same resting position as the SO-ARM101 and optional rubber bands that improve teleoperation experience (great idea). Used with MuJoCo simulator in the video below but can also be used with the follower arm. Awesome contribution from our community member! Check out the project here:
