Hugging face, The Startup Best Known For The AI Developer Platform of the Same Name, is Selling a Programmable, 3D-Printable Robotic Arm that Can Pick Up and Place Objects and Place Objects and Place Oture Basic Chores.
Called the So-101The Arm is the follow-up to hugging face’s Previous Robotic Arm, The SO-100, Released Last Year. The company’s Robotics Division, Lerobot, Partnered with French Robotics Firm the Robot Studio to Debut the so-100 for Around $ 100 in October.
Hugging face Teamed up with the Robot Studio Once Again for the SO-101, as well as with Robotics Store Wowrobo, Iot Hardware Supplier Seeedstudio, and Robotics Part Seller Partabot.
Compared to the So-100, The So-101, which also starts at $ 100, is faster to assemble and features improved motors that reduce friction with allowing the arm to sustain it is more. The camera-Equipped Arm Can Be Trained Via An AI Technique Called Reinforcement Learning, which allows it to “learn” to perform tasks like picking up a Lego Block and Placing It in a bin.
Super excited to introduce so-101 today from @HuggingFaceIn collaboration with @TherobotstudioWowrobo, seedstudio & partabot.
