Honoring the Past, Building the Future — Trossen Legacy Hardware Reaches End-of-Life

The Legacy That Shaped a Generation of Robotic Research

The Legacy and ALOHA product lines have stood at the center of a pivotal era in machine learning for robotics. From university labs to cutting-edge corporate R&D, these platforms helped democratize access to robotic hardware, enabling thousands of teams to test, iterate, and train embodied intelligence faster and more affordably than ever before.

Today, we’re announcing that these hardware lines have officially reached end-of-life and will be discontinued. This wasn’t an easy decision. These platforms weren’t just products—they were milestones in the journey toward real-world embodiment. But as the field has evolved, so have we.

What This Means for Existing Customers

While production and sales are ending, our commitment to you is not.

As part of our Lifetime Support Promise, we will continue to offer:

• Technical Support: Our engineering team will continue to provide support for as long as you own the product

• Replacement Parts: As long as components are available, we’ll do everything possible to keep your systems operational.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at sales@trossenrobotics.com.

From Product to Mission: The Evolution of ALOHA

ALOHA began as a product. It’s now something bigger.

The spirit of ALOHA—low-cost, high-impact, modular platforms for machine learning in motion, lives on in the Trossen AI lineup, our next-generation family of robotic systems purpose-built for:

• Large-scale data collection

• Imitation and reinforcement learning

• Integration with VLAs and cloud training pipelines

We've taken everything that worked with ALOHA-accessibility, flexibility, and focus on real-world applications, and amplified it with powerful new hardware, broader compatibility, and a clearer vision for the future.

Built on Fundamentals. Designed for the Future.

The Trossen AI lineup isn’t a departure—it’s a natural progression. It retains the pragmatic, research-first design philosophy that made our Legacy and ALOHA kits a favorite among researchers at Stanford, CMU, Google DeepMind, Johns Hopkins, and many others.

Whether you’re just beginning your journey in robotic ML, or scaling experiments for massive cloud-based training, the new lineup has you covered with:

• Power modular hardware

• Flexible SDKs and simulators

• Interoperability with industry standards and frameworks

Thank You

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to every engineer, researcher, educator, and student who built with ALOHA and the Legacy line. You helped shape not just our company, but the entire landscape of robotic machine learning.

And we can’t wait to show you what’s next.
