The Agility A1 Robotic Arm, built on the open-source OpenArm platform, brings humanoid manipulation closer to natural human motion than ever before. What truly sets this system apart is not only its open-source hardware and software ecosystem—but the fact that it can be controlled directly through a wearable exoskeleton vest, allowing the robotic arm to move exactly as the user moves.
Instead of relying on joysticks, GUIs, or scripted commands, the operator simply wears the exoskeleton, lifts an arm, bends a wrist, or shifts an elbow—and the Agility A1 mirrors those gestures in real time. This creates an intuitive, almost seamless connection between human and robot, providing unmatched control for research, development, and remote operation.

The DAMIAO Joint Motor System is a fully integrated drive platform designed specifically for the OpenArm open-source humanoid robot arm, providing researchers, developers, and robotic engineers with a professional-grade foundation for high-performance motion control.
By combining DAMIAO’s 43-series and 8009P joint motors, the system achieves an optimal balance of torque, speed, and precision — enabling natural, coordinated movement from the shoulder to the wrist. Each motor module integrates power electronics, sensing, and communication, minimizing wiring complexity while maximizing control efficiency.

SLAM100 adopts a 360° rotating head which can form a 270°x 360° point cloud coverage, and three 5MP optical cameras to produce panorama and help color the point cloud data.
