OpenAMRobot v0.0.1 - First Public Platform Release

[BotshareAI]

OpenAMRobot

Using a robot shouldn't require a robotics team.

OpenAMRobot is an open-source platform built around a simple idea: the person who knows the job should be able to teach a robot how to do it - by showing it, not by writing code.

Our long-term vision is "Show → Correct → Judge."

An operator demonstrates a task, intervenes when necessary, and labels successful or unsuccessful attempts. Behind the scenes, this becomes imitation learning, reward modeling, and reinforcement learning - but the user never has to deal with AI pipelines or robotics programming. Domain expertise becomes the programming language.

🔭 Roadmap

The mobile robot is only the beginning.

The next major milestones include:

• Industrial-grade modular electronics
• Custom PCBs
• Functional safety
• Wireless charging
• Dual-arm mobile manipulator
• Vision-based manipulation
• Foundation-model fine-tuning (π0 / NVIDIA GR00T)
• Simulation-based data generation
• Human-in-the-loop reinforcement learning

Ultimately, OpenAMRobot aims to become an open platform for autonomous mobile manipulation rather than only a mobile robot.

❤️ Building in Public

This project is still early, and we're intentionally building it in the open.

Several companies are already building robots based on OpenAMRobot, and their feedback is helping us improve both the hardware and software. We welcome bug reports, ideas, pull requests, and discussions from engineers, researchers, makers, and robotics companies.

If you'd like to contribute - or build your own robot - we'd love to have you join us.
