Actuator Evolution Leads Automation Innovation

Huge shoutout to @Ryan_Resolution and the MakerMods team for launching Maker Arm — the accessible open-source 6DoF robot arm powered by RobStride QDD actuators, now running Dream-1 from Dream Labs. This project solves a key pain point in embodied AI: expensive, hard-to-source robot hardware. We were glad to support the team to deliver reliable QDD actuators for this launch. Open, affordable hardware is how we bring zero-shot physical AI to more builders and researchers. #RobStride #QDDActuator #MakerArm #PhysicalAI #Dream1 #actuator

Amazing hip joint design! Exactly the truth — humanoids are built on powerful, compact actuators. Great work @maya_canaan! #RobStride #HumanoidRobot #PhysicalAI #Actuator
自作ヒューマノイドの股関節付近の詳細設計でけた。 こう見るとヒューマノイドってモーターの塊だなーってのがよく分かる… #ROBSTRIDE

This is brilliant! 🤖 Using CadQuery(Python) to parametrically define 83 parts for SO-101, Open Duck Mini v2 and LeRobot humanoid. Parametric design makes dimension tuning for simulation & 3D printing so much easier. #RobStride #OpenSourceRobot #CadQuery #ParametricCAD
We rewrote the 3D-printed parts of three open-source robots as CadQuery (Python) programs: SO-101, Open Duck Mini v2 and the LeRobot humanoid. 83 parts. Change a shared dimension once, and every part that uses it follows, for printing and for simulation. git clone github.com/yotown/gym && cd gym pip install -e . gym check so101 gym build so101 --step --stl Edit the horn screw size in robots/so101/shared.py, then run gym diff so101 to see which parts changed. Bought parts are code too: Feetech and DYNAMIXEL servos, RobStride actuators, bearings, Raspberry Pi and IMU boards. Printed parts take their holes from these, so a plate always fits its board. Next: training tasks, so a robot's body and its controller can be designed together. These are first versions. Issues and PRs welcome. Thanks @therobotstudio , @antoinepirrone, @LeRobotHF for the original designs.

Awesome quadruped CAD design! All parts are sized for Bambu Lab A1 mini 3D printing and powered by RobStride actuators. Can’t wait to see this build come alive 🤖 #RobStride #QuadrupedRobot #3DPrintedRobot #Robotics
Astraのultraで4脚ロボットのポン出しCADを作ってもらった。 一応、Robstrideのモータ、Raspberry pi、Gens aceのバッテリを使って、各パーツがBambu lab A1 miniのプリンタで作れるサイズらしい。

Awesome shoutout! Huge thanks to Paul Ruiz for putting together this great primer. Really glad this Python guide helps developers get started with RobStride motors. We’re working to enrich our official docs with more code examples for the robotics community 🤖 #RobStride #Robotics #Actuators #OpenSourceRobot
Paul Ruiz shared an intro to the RobStride motor set and how to control them via Python, which is missing from official documentation. hackster.io/PaulTR/the-softw…

Exciting launch from CyberFusion! 👏 Full-stack, vertically integrated robotics stack built entirely in-house. The Ayg quadruped, designed for developers & research labs with agent-first architecture, is really promising. Looking forward to seeing their rover and humanoid roadmap unfold.🥳 The future of open, extensible robotic platforms! 🤖 #RobStride #Robotics #EmbodiedAI #QuadrupedRobot #FullStackRobotics
Today we’re introducing CyberFusion 🚀 CyberFusion is a vertically integrated full-stack robotics company building robotic platforms from the ground up. We design the major systems in-house: mechanics, power, electronics, embedded systems, control, perception, autonomy and AI. Our first platform is Ayg, a quadruped built for developers, researchers, universities and labs. It’s designed to be programmable, inspectable and extensible across the stack. We’re building it developer-first and agent-first, so both people and AI systems can understand, operate and extend it. Rovers and humanoids are also on our roadmap. There’s a lot ahead, and we’re excited to start sharing what we’re building.

Build with reBot Arm B601-RS! Equipped with RobStride high-performance actuators, it features 2.5kg payload & ±0.1mm repeatability. Fully open-source hardware & software for embodied AI developers. #RobStride #seeedstudio #Robotics #PhysicalAI
Move the target. The robot finds it again. This visual grasping pipeline combines #IntelRealSenseD405 + #reBotArmB601-RS + #ROS2 + #YOLOE: Detection → Depth → Hand-Eye Calibration → Grasp Pose → Pick & Place Move the pen, and the system detects its new position, calculates a new grasp pose, and sends the arm to pick and place it. The Seeed Wiki walks through the full #visualgrasping workflow — from camera & ROS setup to detection, calibration, grasp validation and the final grasp-and-place pipeline. wiki.seeedstudio.com/rebot_a…

Love this build! A desk lamp with 5 RobStride joints, RGB-D vision and 45 addressable LEDs — Watti is such a clever way to disguise a robotics platform as something everyday. Great project 🤖💡 #RobStride #Robotics #HumanoidRobot #EmbodiedAI #RobotFoundationModel #AIForRobots
What's Inside Watti? This Lamp Is Packed With Hardware at $700 Watti's current prototype is basically a small robotics platform disguised as a desk lamp. At the center is a Raspberry Pi 5, connected to 5 RobStride motors for movement and 45 individually addressable WS2812 RGB LEDs for lighting. For vision, it uses an Orbbec Astra Mini S RGB-D camera, capturing RGB + depth at 640×480 @ 30 FPS. The five axes control the base, shoulder, elbow, neck and head, while motor position feedback lets Watti know its current pose. Power comes from an external 24V/10A supply, with a Geekworm X735 V3 handling the conversion to 5V for the Pi.

Great contribution! A no_std Rust CAN driver opens up more possibilities for Robstride actuators.
Anyone using Robstride drivers and wanting a rust or MCU version of them I released a crate for this exact purpose! Check it out: github.com/HIRO-Industries/R… Full no_std so your MCU can use it. I’m using mine with a CAN hat on an RPI
