An Aloha Machine Learning Research Kit is a complete lab in a box from Trossen Robotics — a preloaded, ready-to-run setup for robot learning research. It ships with a laptop running ROS 2, Interbotix (our hardware Python library), and ACT machine learning models based on the official Aloha Project from Stanford University. The goal is simple: save you time and money so you can invest in research instead of hardware design and development.
Our Aloha Machine Learning Research Kits provide a complete lab in a box for your research needs. They help you save time and money, allowing you to invest in research instead of hardware design and development.
As you receive the kit, it comes with a preloaded laptop that has ROS 2 installed, along with Interbotix, our hardware Python library, and ACT machine learning models based on the official Aloha Project from Stanford University — read the whitepaper here.
From there, you can start collecting data for your research. You can even test changes to the ACT model or your own data models.
How durable and repairable are the kits?
Our kits are built for thousands of hours of data collection and are designed to be easily repairable. If any part breaks, Trossen Robotics offers every piece of the kit for replacement.
The kits are also highly customizable, built with extruded aluminum T-slots and 3D-printed parts. You can even request the 3D models for those printed parts so you can improve on the design.
Will the kits get better over time?
At Trossen Robotics, we are dedicated to constantly improving our kits. Based on customer feedback, we plan to offer upgrade kits so that all customers can access the latest and greatest research hardware for machine learning.
