LeRobot Anything is a low-cost, universal, leader-follower teleoperation system for any commercial robot arms through 3 hardware configurations. Designed for researchers, educators, and robotics enthusiasts, it provides a standardized interface for diverse robot platforms. This project focus on extending the Lerobot to control any real robot in both real scene and simulation.
For detail, see our technical report here.
- OS: Ubuntu 20.04
- ROS: Noetic
- Simulation: SAPIEN integration (Built upon ManiSkill)

💡 **This is only part of our supported robots! For more robots, you can compare their mechanical configuration with each U-Arm to confirm which one fits your need (in most cases it will).
Note
If you are totally new to programming, please spend at least a day to get yourself familiar with basic Python, Ubuntu and GitHub (with the help of Google and AI). At least you should know how to set up Ubuntu system, git clone, pip install, use interpreters (VS Code, Cursor, PyCharm, etc.) and directly run commands in the terminals.

We welcome contributions! Here's how you can help:
A: Please first refer to the Supported Robots section above, where part of compatible arms are listed along with corresponding config. Note that this project aims to provide a universal teleoperation framework and example control code. Here, “compatibility” means that the operator can intuitively control the corresponding follower arm on hardware side by using UArm.
This is independent of different brands’ software APIs — it only depends on the joint topology of the robot. To find your robot’s joint topology, check Hardware Guide.
A: Start by reading LeRobot-Anything-U-Arm/src/uarm/scripts/Uarm_teleop/servo_reader.
This script reads all UArm joint angles and is wrapped as a ROS node.
You need to write a subscriber based on your follower arm’s API that receives joint commands from the '/servo_angles' topic and sends them to your arm. Dobot Controller is a simple example.
If you prefer not to use ROS communication, you can directly read the UArm’s servo command data and send them to your follower arm.
See this ARX example for reference.
