Open-source robot arm meets hand tracking
[📍GitHub below]
It is designed with an industrial mindset but built as a 3D-printed desktop system.
PAROL6 paired with a LEAP Motion controller is a nice example of how accessible robot teleoperation has become.
• Hand motion is streamed to the robot at 100 Hz via UDP
• A pneumatic gripper is controlled by simple fist open and close gestures
• The entire robot stack is open source, from mechanics to control software
Combine that with low-latency hand tracking and you get a very practical platform for learning manipulation, teleoperation, and human-robot interfaces.
This kind of setup is great for experimentation, teleop, data collection, and teaching robots by demonstration
All without proprietary hardware or locked software.

I don't know about you, but having a robotic arm that fits on my table, allows me to open it up and tweak it and still costs less than $5 000 sounds like the perfect deal.
Meet the parol6.
It's open-source and also precise enough for real work.
This is what robotics education and research have been waiting for.

Over the past year, more than 250 Parol 6 Robots by @SourceRobotics have been built globally but not without hours of troubleshooting, numerous questions and a couple of fried PCB boards 🥲.
Tnkr intends to make the process of building the Parol 6 seamless for the next 1000 builders and beyond.

We're making it incredibly easy to assemble robots, starting with the Parol 6 arm by @SourceRobotics
try it for yourself 👇🏻

If we lose our sense of touch, we lose our ability to grasp objects.
Yet, most robots don't have touch! Affordable touch sensors can significantly improve their grasps.
