A research robot has to support experiments its designers haven’t thought of yet. Matt Trossen explains why we build our hardware to be changed.

Choose robotic end of arm tooling by task, payload, reach, interfaces, and repeatability with this practical guide for research and automation teams.

Explore robot machine learning from sensors and teleoperation to training, evaluation, and deployment, with a practical stack for research teams.

Evaluate a robot data collection platform across hardware, teleoperation, capture, metadata, storage, quality checks, and scale before you commit.

A university research lab is using the Trossen Solo AI kit to teach a robot arm to pick up any manufacturing part, in any orientation, and place it in the right bin from a simple prompt. Ali Beydoun, a researcher focused on physical AI, documented the full journey in a detailed post: Bringing a Robot Arm to Life with Trossen Robotics AI. He covers how he chose an arm, set it up, collected training data and fine-tuned a vision-language-action model. He also notes that his post
