ROVA 5 URDF

ROVA 5 Leader Follower Set based on LeRobot SO-101 (SO-ARM101) Open-Source 5+1-Axis Desktop Robot Arm

ROVA 5 (SO-101) is a compact, table-top robotic arm built for learning and building real robotics AI. It is designed to work with the 🤗 Hugging Face LeRobot ecosystem, so you can go from “move the arm” to “train a model” to “run autonomously” using the same open-source tools the community shares.

What you can do with it

• Teleoperate and record demonstrations (move a leader arm by hand, or use a keyboard-style teleop)
  

• Create your own dataset for real-world manipulation
  

• Train an imitation-learning policy in LeRobot and deploy it back to the arm
  

• Run repeatable tasks like pick-and-place, simple sorting, stacking, and desk-scale manipulation
  

Why ROVA 5 (SO-101) is different

• Built for learning-first robotics: the workflow is centered around collecting demonstrations, training, and evaluation
  

• Open-source ecosystem: code, examples, and community resources are shared and improving constantly
  

• Calibrate once, reuse policies: calibration aligns the robot’s joint ranges so models trained on one arm can transfer more reliably to another
  

Key features

• 5-DOF arm (5 joints + 1 gripper) with a desk-friendly footprint
  

• Smart serial bus servos with encoder feedback for consistent joint control
  

• USB connection to your computer through a controller/driver board
  

• Designed to follow official LeRobot tutorials and examples end-to-end
  

Technical snapshot

• Follower arm drive: 6× STS3215 smart servos
  

• Leader arm drive: mixed gear ratios so it is easier to move by hand while still supporting its own weight
  

• Software: LeRobot (Python / PyTorch workflow)
  

System requirements

• A computer that can run Python tooling for LeRobot (commonly set up with Python 3.10 environments)
  

• USB port for the controller/servo bus
  

Who this is for

• Robotics enthusiasts, students, and developers who want hands-on embodied AI at desk scale
  

• Teams prototyping data collection + training + deployment loops before moving to larger robots
