ThinkRobotics LeRobot SO-101 6 Axis Robotic Arm review

The quick answer

The ThinkRobotics LeRobot SO-101 is an unassembled, six-axis 3D-printed arm kit built around the open-source Hugging Face LeRobot workflow. Its parts list names follower and leader servo sets, two motor control boards and separate power supplies, while the camera and camera mount are excluded. Choose it for a hands-on robotics lab that can handle assembly, motor setup and calibration. Confirm the number of complete printed arms before assuming the package supports leader-follower teleoperation out of the box.

Why we like it

The open-source LeRobot ecosystem provides a path from assembly and calibration to teleoperation and dataset collection
Six-axis motion and an unassembled 3D-printed frame make the mechanics part of the learning project
The listed follower and leader servo configurations suit experiments with hand-guided teleoperation
The parts list includes two motor control boards, two power supplies and four table clamps

Before you buy

The kit needs assembly, motor setup and calibration before a LeRobot session
The camera and camera mount are not included
The listing does not clearly state the number of complete printed arm assemblies in the package
The listing shows outline dimensions without visible units and provides no payload rating; verify the work envelope for your task

A practical kit for the LeRobot learning path

The SO-101 is a six-axis open-source arm designed around the LeRobot ecosystem. Its appeal is the path from hardware to robot-learning work: assemble the frame, configure the motors, calibrate the joints, then use the broader leader-follower workflow to collect demonstrations. For a maker space or advanced class, that connects mechanics, control and data collection in one project. We like that the official project publishes dedicated assembly and setup guidance. This is a development platform for people who want to work through software and wiring, rather than a plug-and-play pick-and-place appliance.

Plan for a hands-on build and setup

ThinkRobotics describes the kit as unassembled and lists 3D-printed parts. The LeRobot instructions separate motor configuration, assembly and calibration, so plan for several focused setup sessions before the first teleoperation exercise. The listed follower uses 12 V STS3215 motors, while the leader set uses 7.4 V motors. Follow the model-specific power instructions carefully and label each motor during setup. That process gives learners a useful look at how an arm is configured, but it makes this a poor match for a group that needs a ready-to-run lesson in one short class.

The parts list points to leader-follower experiments

The store lists six 12 V follower servos and six 7.4 V leader servos across three gear ratios, alongside two motor control boards and two power supplies. That hardware mix aligns with the LeRobot workflow of moving a leader arm by hand while a follower mirrors the motion, then recording actions. It gives the kit a learning path beyond running preset movements. The product page does not clearly state how many complete printed arm assemblies are included, though. Confirm that both finished arms and their printed parts are in the box before relying on it for a two-arm setup.

Know what you need to add

The product listing says the camera and camera mount are not included. LeRobot supports camera-based workflows, but you will need to select compatible camera hardware and set it up separately. The page shows outline diagrams, but their units are not visible and the listing gives no payload rating. Verify the unit and working envelope against your bench, and ask the seller about payload for any task-specific setup. We would choose this kit for learning the LeRobot software and hardware process, then confirm those details before assigning it to a particular task.

Our buying advice and the ThinkRobotics code

On October 23, 2026, ThinkRobotics listed variant 51178609901885, SKU LERO0001, at ₹27,999.99. The supplied partner code SEBASTIANBASSOL reports 3% off, which would put that price at about ₹27,159.99 if it applies to this exact variant. We would choose the SO-101 when the goal is to learn assembly, calibration and LeRobot teleoperation in a lab or maker space. First confirm how many complete printed arm assemblies the package includes.
