Koch v1.1 Low-Cost Robot Arm: Follower

- This product is the bundle of ROBOTIS parts for the Follower arm of the Koch V1.1 Robot arms.

- The Follower arm is intended to be used as the arm you control through teleoperation with the Leader arm.

**3D Printed Parts are now available to purchase as an option at the top of the page.**

Please note: All 3D printed items are made to order, and all sales are final. 3D printed items cannot be canceled or refunded.

A revolutionary robotics platform designed specifically for those seeking a low-cost yet high-performance robotic arm solution. This kit includes all of the ROBOTIS components required to build the Koch v1.1 Follower robot arm, available as a single package to simplify component sourcing. 

Build and control a state-of-the-art robotic leader/follower system arm. This affordable and easy-to-construct robotic solution is the perfect tool for conducting robotics research and learning. With the capability to execute complex maneuvers such as folding clothes, the versatility of these robotic arms will astound you.

The design is based on Alexander Koch's (founding member of Tau Robotics) low cost arm, modified by the engineers at Hugging Face for a focus on simplicity in assembly. The arm employs the reliable and efficient Dynamixel XL430 and XL330 servos for their lightweight and high-speed performance. 

Thanks to Hugging Face's LeRobot framework, it's simple to get the arm set up and running with today's most up to date an capable machine learning systems.

The complete project repository includes all the necessary information for construction of the platform and detailed assembly instructions provided in both text and video format. A 3D printer is necessary for printing all required parts. The files for 3D printing are provided in the repository.

Whether you're a budding roboticist, an academic seeking a low-cost solution for research and development, or a robotics enthusiast, this DYNAMIXEL Robotic Arm is an invaluable option for cost-effective, high-performance robotic arms. Bridging the gap between affordability and performance, and providing the opportunity for everyone to explore the incredible world of robotics. Experience the future of robotics with DYNAMIXEL!
