📖 Introduction

reBot-DevArm (reBot Arm B601 DM and reBot Arm B601 RS) is a robotic arm project dedicated to lowering the barrier to learning Embodied AI. We focus on "True Open Source" — not just the code, we unreservedly open source everything:

• 🦾 Two versions of the robotic arm：We will provide all open-source files for two versions of the robotic arm with the same appearance: Robostride and Damiao.
• 🛠️ Hardware Blueprints: Source files for sheet metal parts and 3D printed parts.
• 🔩 BOM List: Detailed down to the specifications and purchase links for every single screw.
• 💻 Software & Algorithms: Python SDK, ROS1/2, Isaac Sim, LeRobot, etc.

Build Your Own reBot Arm

• We offer five kit options:
  • Arm Body Motor Kit: Includes only motors and wiring harnesses for the robotic arm.
  • Arm Body Structural Kit: Includes only mechanical structural components.
  • Gripper Complete Kit: Includes motors, wiring harnesses and structural components for the gripper.
  • Full Kit: Includes the complete set of the robotic arm body and gripper.
  • Pre‑assembled Robotic Arm: Fully assembled finished robotic arm.

You may purchase the remaining parts from the SeeedStudio Store based on the components you already have (expected availability: April 15, 2026).

You can leave your information here, and we will send you the limited pre-order link in advance.

Rights and Restrictions Statement

The core purpose of this open-source project is to promote knowledge sharing and enable developers and enthusiasts to access and learn cutting-edge robotic arm technologies at minimal cost. We provide completely free and publicly available documentation and video tutorials to help users get started quickly, conduct in-depth research, and jointly promote the popularization and practical application of robotics.

I. Non-Commercial Use Policy

All open-source content of this project is fully available for personal learning, research, and non-commercial use. Individual users are allowed to:

• View and study the project’s open-source documentation, code, and tutorials;
• Modify and debug the open-source content for personal learning and research purposes;
• Assemble robotic arms for personal use or conduct secondary development based on the open-source content for non-commercial purposes.

II. Commercial Use Policy

We actively encourage and support developers, robotics enthusiasts, and third-party platforms to carry out secondary development based on the reBot robotic arm and promote real-world applications. The following outlines permitted and prohibited commercial activities:

(1) Permitted Commercial Activities

We respect every developer’s efforts and legitimate earnings. If you purchase the reBot B601 series robotic arm from Seeed and contribute your own work, you may commercialize the results of your efforts, including but not limited to:

• Developing application-oriented software systems and promoting or selling them commercially;
• Creating structured educational courses (online/offline) and offering paid training or knowledge services;
• Conducting offline education, training, and technology outreach activities worldwide;
• Other commercial activities that contribute to the open-source community, knowledge dissemination, and real-world application of robotics technology.

For the above compliant commercial activities, you are welcome to contact us. We will provide commercial authorization, implementation support, and promotional assistance. We may also publicly announce your authorization to help your project succeed.

(2) Prohibited Commercial Activities

It is prohibited to make minor modifications to this project’s product, replace IP, logos, or related identifiers, and sell it under a self-owned brand. Such actions do not constitute substantial technical innovation and do not benefit developer growth, the open-source community, or the project itself. These behaviors are considered violations, and we reserve the right to take action.

III. Collaboration & Contact

We hope to collaborate with all developers and partners within a compliant framework to promote the maturity and deployment of the reBot robotic arm project. For individuals and organizations interested in bringing real-world robotic applications to life, we offer:

• Commercial licensing and intellectual property compliance support;
• Assistance in promoting project solutions;
• Custom development services for robotic arms and related solutions;
• Joint R&D and co-development opportunities.

If you are interested in commercial collaboration or have related needs, please feel free to contact us. Let’s work together to advance the adoption and industrialization of robotics technology.
