Seeed Studio reBot Arm B601-DM Unassembled Robotic Arm Kit – 6+1 DoF Platform for Physical AI & Robotics Education
The Seeed Studio reBot Arm B601-DM Unassembled Robotic Arm Kit is an open-source 6+1 DoF robotic arm platform designed for robotics education, Physical AI development, research, and hands-on experimentation. Its six degrees of freedom combined with a gripper provide flexible movement for tasks such as robotic manipulation, pick-and-place, teleoperation, and AI-powered robotics applications.
The B601-DM features a 767 mm reach, 1.5 kg payload, and ±0.2 mm repeatability, making it suitable for a wide range of desktop robotics projects. As an unassembled robotic arm kit, it also provides an opportunity to understand the mechanical structure and assembly of a real robotic system. The platform offers open access to hardware designs, BOM resources, software, and algorithms, while supporting development environments such as ROS1/ROS2, LeRobot, NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Pinocchio, and MeshCat.
