AgileX PiPER

AgileX's lightweight, low-cost 6-axis arm, common in research and data collection.

PiPER is the lightweight 6-DoF robot arm from AgileX Robotics. Published specs: 4.2 kg unloaded, a 1.5 kg payload, a 626 mm reach, repeatability of 0.1 mm, and support for a Python SDK, ROS1, and ROS2. It is inexpensive, reportedly starting around $2,499 overseas, and light enough to mount on a mobile base or pair up into a bimanual system, which is why it sees heavy use in embodied-AI research and data collection; AgileX's own Cobot Magic dual-arm platform uses it as both leader and follower arms. Its precision and payload fall short of an industrial cobot, making it better suited to labs and teaching than production work.

ExampleMounting two PiPER arms on either side of a desk, paired with leader arms, to collect bimanual teleoperation data.
