Hugging Face releases a 3D-printed robotic arm starting at $100

Face hug, startup best known for the platform of the programmed platform, sales of a programming robot hand with a 3D printed that can pick up and set objects and do several other basic jobs.

Invited SO-101The hand is to monitor the previous robot hand of Face’s embrace, the SO-100, published last year. The Robotics, Lerobot department, joined with the French company Robot Studio to make the SO-00 debut in October for around $ 100.

Facial embrace united with a Robot Studio once again for the SO-101, as a trade Robotics Wowrobo, supplier of IoT hardware Seeedstudio and Robotics Parliament Partabot.

Compared to the SO-40, the SO-101, which also starts at $ 100, is faster to assemble and contain improved friction engines, allowing the hand to maintain its own weight. A camera equipped with a camera can be trained through AI technique called learning to strengthen, which allows him to “learn” to perform tasks such as lifting a lego block and putting in a bucket.

Super-excited to present the SO-101 today @HuggingfaceIn cooperation with @TherobotstudioWowrob, Seeedstudio & Partabot.

$ 100 is the basic price for the SO-101, to be clear. Thanks to premiums on fully composed units and American tariffs in Chinese imports, prices range from 100 to around $ 500, depending on the supplier.

Face hugs greatly expands its efforts on robotics, recently acquiring Pollen roboticsStarting a robotics based in France, for an undiscovered amount. Under the guidance of former Tesla Optimus engineers, Remi Cadene, hugging Face’s robotics wing is planning to sell Pollen’s humanoid robot, reach 2, and let the developers take over and suggest improvements of their code.
