onero Robotic Arm A1

DESCRIPTION

onero Robotic Arm A1 is an Educational-Robots from SwitchBot. It is built for Development, Material-Handling, Research. Key figures: 4.3 kg, 3 kg payload, 713.5 mm reach, 7 degrees of freedom, price $799.

SwitchBot describes onero A1 as a lightweight, open-source robotic arm for embodied-AI work. It is a standalone 7-axis arm aimed at developers, researchers and hobbyists experimenting with manipulation and robot learning, and it sits in the same onero line as the H1 home humanoid. The arm has seven degrees of freedom, weighs 4.3 kg, carries a payload of at least 3 kg and reaches 713.55 mm, with a stated repeatability of +/-0.1 mm. The body is aluminium alloy. Each of the seven joints is rated to 180 degrees per second. It runs from a 48 V supply drawing at least 7 A, with a maximum power consumption of 300 W, and communicates over CAN 2.0 at 1 Mbps. Control combines position and force, and the arm has force feedback and collision detection. On the software side it supports ROS2 Humble, with driver nodes that publish arm pose data and accept motion commands in real time. It integrates with MoveIt2 for controlling a physical or simulated arm by coordinates and pose, and SwitchBot says it works with Hugging Face's open-source LeRobot framework from an ordinary personal computer. The store lists A1 at US$799, but it is not yet orderable: the only variant reads 'Coming Soon'.
