UNIVERSAL LIGHTWEIGHT LEADER ARM

THE SMOOTHEST
TELEOP LEADER ARM
ON THE MARKET.

Smooth teleop means clean data for physical AI. The Glide eliminates the stiction and jitter that gets recorded into your demos. That smoothness holds up over a full day of data collection — the arm is light enough to hold for hours without fatigue, so nothing changes in your data as the session goes on. The Glide is built on high-fidelity encoders, compact bearing joints, and featherweight carbon fiber, for smooth physical AI data collection.

​

Built for third-party arm compatibility. The Glide isn't locked to one ecosystem, the open-source Trossen SDK gives you full control whether your follower shares its kinematics or not.

Pair it with Cockpit, the Glide's dedicated operator station, for a complete mobile teleoperation setup.

A NEW ERA IN SMOOTH DATA COLLECTION

Engineered from the ground up, the Trossen Glide enables exceptionally smooth teleoperation for high-quality data collection.

HIGH FIDELITY ENCODERS

Passive, encoder-only joints mean there's nothing to fight your hand. What you move is what gets recorded.

COMPACT BEARING JOINTS

Deep-groove bearing pairs run through every joint in the stack, including the ones other designs skip. Stable, low-friction motion, all the way through.

FEATHERWEIGHT CARBON FIBER

Carbon-fiber construction is light enough for a passive spring-and-cam balance, no motors needed to hold the arm up. That means no gravity-compensation errors creeping into your data, and no arm fatigue creeping into your day.

OPERATOR STATION FOR GLIDE

THE TELEOP STATION, BUILT AROUND YOU.

Cockpit is one station your Glide arms mount to for every session. The same setup travels with you from robot to robot instead of getting rebuilt each time. Roll it up to whatever follower is in front of you. Or stay put and connect over your network to one elsewhere on site.
 

The frame is a machined mounting plate. Black powder-coated stainless steel tubing and anodized aluminum brackets keep it rigid. Two-inch total-lock swivel casters hold it in place once you've rolled it in. Onboard battery power means no wall outlet dependency. It connects to your follower system wired or wireless. It mounts one or two Glide arms, positioned for the operator instead of fixed to a desk.

"At Intel, coordinating and operating gets tricky, but this was so much more smooth."

"You guys are tempting me with a good time."

"It feels really good... it almost feels surreal."

GLIDE

Smooth teleop means clean data for physical AI. The Glide eliminates the stiction and jitter that gets recorded into your demos. That smoothness holds up over a full day of data collection — the arm is light enough to hold for hours without fatigue, so nothing changes in your data as the session goes on. The Glide is built on high-fidelity encoders, compact bearing joints, and featherweight carbon fiber, for smooth physical AI data collection.

COCKPIT

Cockpit is the station your Glide arms mount to for every session. It eliminates the drift and rebuild time that comes from resetting your setup at every new robot or room. That stability holds up across sessions, since the station locks into position and stays there, so your Glide arms don't shift as the day goes on. Cockpit is built on a machined mounting plate, powder-coated steel frame, and anodized aluminum brackets, for a station that holds its position through daily use.

ALL THE DETAILS

SPECIFICATIONS

Smooth teleop means clean data for physical AI, and a stable station means that smoothness holds up session after session. The Glide eliminates the stiction and jitter that gets recorded into your demos, while Cockpit eliminates the drift and rebuild time that comes from resetting your setup at every new robot or room. Together, they're built on high fidelity encoders, featherweight carbon fiber, and a machined, powder coated frame, for a leader arm and station that stay consistent through a full day of physical AI data collection.
