12 SO-101 robot arms for my robotics class 🤖 Last year, students built their SO-101s from scratch. This year, with help from our TA Qifan Zhang, we handed out 12 pre-built arms so they can jump straight into arm calibration! More time for robots!

Would you be willing to take a look at quackd? It supports LeRobot (SO-101). I open-sourced quackd: a brain for robots. You tell the robot what you want in plain language, like "find the ball and kick it", and an LLM plans the steps using the skills the robot already has (I know this is only an arm that can't kick). Supports local LLMs as well. Goals live in .duck files, the same idea as the .skill files Claude uses, but for a robot.

@ZQ_fantastic Thanks for sharing! We will check it

@ZQ_fantastic Awesome! I'm open to contributions or ideas.

@ZQ_fantastic This is so cool :)

@ZQ_fantastic can we have similar programs here at purdue ong its a pain to try to access arms

@ZQ_fantastic Great job we didn’t have it yet in UIC I ordered it myself before graduation you are doing great job keeping them up to what’s really happening in the world

@ZQ_fantastic Any issues with building from scratch? I will ask the students in my class to build from scratch this semester, including 3D-printing the parts. My students are in mechanical engineering, though.

@ZQ_fantastic It’s just taking more time :) Some student may break some part if they are not careful. It is definitely a good learning process

@ZQ_fantastic Good to know! I will see how it goes. Thanks.

@ZQ_fantastic I'd hand them prebuilt too. How do you keep 12 arms from turning calibration into support desk duty?

@ZQ_fantastic The students will do a course project with the arm. They can propose what to work on

@ZQ_fantastic This. This is what actual democratization of technology looks like Not dancing bot demos

@ZQ_fantastic Handing out pre-built arms is a sensible trade for this class. Students still get the calibration problems, but with more time left to try a method, inspect the failure and run it again.

@ZQ_fantastic 👏
