XLeRobot

Advanced

An open-source dual-arm wheeled home robot with a parts cost starting around $660.

XLeRobot is an open-source hardware project started independently by Gaotian (Vector) Wang, a graduate student at Rice University, with version 0.2.0 released in June 2025. It mounts two low-cost SO-100/SO-101 arms on a mobile base (originally omnidirectional wheels, with a two-wheel differential-drive version added in December 2025), a head with an RGB camera that can be upgraded to a stereo or RealSense depth camera, and runs off a laptop or a Raspberry Pi. The base configuration has a parts cost starting around $660, not including 3D printing, shipping, or tax. It builds on projects like Hugging Face's LeRobot, the SO-101, and LeKiwi, aiming to let individuals and students do dual-arm mobile-manipulation and household-task research on a very small budget.
