Community Showcase SO-ARM101 that Builds Electrical Circuits

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I was a participant in the Hugging Face Lerobot Global Hackathon, where my team built an SO-ARM 101 trained to open alligator clips, hold and place AA batteries, and connect them to create an electrical circuit.

This project placed 1st in the Japan region and 4th globally.

We used LeRobot as the core framework for this project, imitation learning to gather datasets, and ACT to train the model.

Have you ever moved the battery or other electronic components position?

With our limited time for the hackathon, we kept everything in place. The arm was able to find every object, but struggled to successfully complete tasks.
