About OMX

The ROBOTIS OMX is an entry‑level Physical AI manipulator designed for hands‑on dataset collection and comparison, helping newcomers step into Physical AI with confidence. This compact 5‑DOF platform, built on DYNAMIXEL‑X, supports end‑to‑end IL/RL pipelines and ROS 2‑native workflows.

⚙️ No Motor Setup Required

All motor parameters are preconfigured at the factory—no hardware or software setup required. You can connect immediately and start using the robot arm without any additional preparation.

🔌 No Calibration Required

Every DYNAMIXEL actuator is factory-calibrated, so users never need to perform calibration themselves. Both hardware and software are fully supported, making it a true plug-and-play experience, even when using LeRobot.

🛡️ Safe Homing Bring-Up

The follower arm can safely return to its initial pose from any position during bring-up. This ensures stable, predictable operation and minimizes risks, even for first-time users.

🧭 360° Base Rotation

The base motor uses an extended-position design, providing full 360° rotation. With extended cabling, it can rotate indefinitely—expanding the usable workspace for more flexible manipulation.

🪶 Light Weight

OMX is engineered to be extremely lightweight, allowing it to be carried easily and deployed anywhere. The reduced weight also means less fatigue during extended use while maintaining robust performance.

✨ Low-Friction Leader

A special low-friction design makes the leader smooth and easy to operate. Even children can control it safely, and fine movements feel natural with minimal effort.

🔋 No Power Supply Required for Leader (OMX-L)

Unlike conventional robot arms, the leader works with just a single USB-C connection. This enables simple laptop use for simulation or quick trials without requiring external power supplies.

🎯 Spring-Effect Trigger

A spring-assisted control mechanism provides a comfortable, repeatable grip. Users experience consistent tactile feedback, making long data-collection sessions easier and less fatiguing.

🎛️ User-Centric Design

Thoughtful details improve real-world performance, from a opened gripper design that reduces occlusion to a clear base point for initial poses. These features ensure consistent data, better labeling, and reproducibility across sessions.

🤖 ROS 2 Integration

OMX officially supports ROS 2, with compatibility across existing packages. Developers can integrate with ROS 2-based software stacks to unlock advanced robotics functions.

🔄 AI Workflows

Fully compatible with ROBOTIS Physical AI Tools and native LeRobot workflows. Users can choose either environment and seamlessly build a wide range of AI-driven applications out of the box.
