At least you should know how to setup ubuntu system, git clone, pip install, use intepreters (VS Code, Cursor, Pycharm, etc.) and directly run commands in the terminals. • 💵 **Buy your parts**: Bill of Materials • 🖨️ **Print your stuff**: 3D printing • 🔨 ~~Avengers~~: **Assemble**! • 💻 **Software**: Get your robot moving! --- Contribute **👋 Want to contribute to XLeRobot?** Please refer to CONTRIBUTING.md for guidance on how to get involved! **Main Contributors** • Gaotian/Vector Wang • Jiahao Wang, Chunbo Pan, QiLiu, Isaac Sin, Ryan Chan: MakerMods team, VLA and VR integration • Zhuoyi Lu: RL sim2real deploy, teleop on real robot (Xbox, VR, Joycon) • Yiyang Huang: RL & VLA implementation (ongoing) • YCP: WebUI for remote control (ongoing) • Lixing Zhang: Hardware design improvements • Nicole Yue: Documentation website setup • Yuesong Wang: Mujoco simulation • This is just a small brick in the pyramid, made possible by LeRobot, SO-100, Lekiwi, and Bambot. Thanks to all the talented contributors behind these detailed and professional projects. Looking forward to collaborating with anyone interested in contributing to this project! About me Gaotian/Vector Wang I am a CS graduate student at Rice University RobotPi Lab, focusing on robust object manipulation, where we propse virtual cages and funnels and physics-aware world models to close the Sim2real gap and achieve robust manipulation under uncertainties. One of my papers, Caging in Time, has recently been accepted by International Journal of Robotics Research (IJRR). I built XLeRobot as a personal hobby to instantiate my research theory, also to provide a low-cost platform for people who are interested in robotics and embodied AI to work with. --- Citation If you want, you can cite this work with: --- 🪧 Disclaimer 🪧 > [!NOTE] > If you build, buy, or develop a XLeRobot based on this repo, you will be fully responsible for all the physical and mental damages it does to you or others.
