OpenAMRobot is an open, modular, and affordable embodied AI robotics ecosystem developed by the Botshare robotics team.

The project began as an autonomous dual-arm mobile robot platform and is now evolving toward a full-cycle infrastructure for:

• mobile manipulation
• teleoperation
• imitation learning
• embodied AI research
• human-centered robot policy training
• and AI-driven robotics development

OpenAMRobot combines:

• autonomous mobile robotics
• dual-arm manipulation
• adjustable linear lift systems
• AI-based perception
• wearable embodied AI data collection
• ROS 2 software infrastructure
• embedded firmware
• simulation and navigation systems
• teleoperation and policy training pipelines
• and modular edge AI architectures

into a flexible, scalable, and research-oriented robotics ecosystem.

The platform is designed not as a fixed product, but as an open and extensible infrastructure that can be adapted for:

• industrial automation
• embodied AI research
• logistics and warehouse robotics
• educational platforms
• teleoperation systems
• human-robot collaboration
• and next-generation autonomous robotic applications.

OpenAMRobot focuses on building affordable and reproducible robotics infrastructure while reducing dependence on closed proprietary ecosystems and vendor lock-in.

Our mission is to make advanced mobile robotics accessible by providing high-quality, open-source, production-oriented designs that help SMEs, entrepreneurs, researchers, students, and robotics specialists build reliable and affordable autonomous robots without reinventing foundational technology.

The platform bridges:

• real-world deployment
• research
• education
• AI robotics
• industrial automation
• embodied AI experimentation

while addressing practical automation challenges in:

• manufacturing
• logistics
• CEP
• grocery delivery
• warehouse automation
• industrial assistance workflows

Integrate computer vision and ML for:

• perception
• object recognition
• adaptive grasping
• autonomous assistance

in dynamic environments.

Combine:

• dual-arm robotic architecture
• interchangeable payload systems
• open hardware design
• modular ROS 2 software

for flexibility and customization.

Target affordable and reproducible robotics technology suitable for:

• research
• education
• prototyping
• SMEs
• startups
• robotics labs
