Your robot arm is probably already supported by LeRobot. You just don't know it yet.
The community has shipped 30+ hardware integrations: xArm, UR5e, Franka, Trossen, AgileX Piper, I2RT YAM, ARX5, ugo Pro, Quest and PICO 4 teleop, GELLO, Haply Inverse3 haptics, ROS 2 bridges.
Most of them are drop-in plugins.
pip install
pass --robot.type=...
