OpenAMRobot is an open-source Physical AI development platform that enables startups, researchers, universities, and domain experts to build, train, validate, and deploy robotic solutions without rebuilding the entire robotics stack.
We believe the future of robotics will not be built by robotics engineers alone.
It will be built by:
- Manufacturing experts
- Logistics specialists
- Healthcare professionals
- Researchers
- Entrepreneurs
- Innovators
People who understand problems and want to automate them.
OpenAMRobot provides the infrastructure that transforms domain expertise into robotic capabilities.
OpenAMR has evolved into a modular, better organized project.
As part of the OpenAMRobot v0.0.1 release, the original repository has been split into dedicated repositories for hardware, software, firmware, and documentation.
Most of the content previously available in this repository has been:
- ➜ migrated to openamr-platform-hw
- ➜ partially migrated to openamr-platform-fw
- ➜ reorganized into a modular repository structure
- ➜ updated with improved documentation and architecture
The legacy repository is now kept mainly for historical reference.

Our users build robots.
Their users deploy robots.
Physical AI is creating a new generation of robots that learn from demonstration, adapt to new tasks, and solve real-world problems.
Yet building a trainable robot still requires expertise across hardware, software, AI, teleoperation, data collection, training pipelines, simulation, deployment, and hardware integration.
OpenAMRobot reduces this complexity by providing an integrated platform that enables anyone with domain expertise to create robotic solutions.
The real value is not the robot itself.
The real value is how efficiently a robotic system can solve a business problem.
The next generation of creators will not just build software.
They will build robots.
OpenAMRobot enables anyone with domain expertise to create robotic solutions without becoming a robotics engineer.
The Programming Language of Robotics is Domain Expertise.
Support open-source robotics, ROS 2 development, AI robotics education, and dual-arm mobile robot research.

SMEs across multiple industries can significantly enhance their operations through the adoption of Collaborative Dual-Arm Autonomous Mobile Robots. In warehouses and distribution centers, such robots streamline goods movement and order fulfillment by combining autonomous navigation with dexterous dual-arm manipulation, enabling advanced G2P workflows and reducing manual handling. In manufacturing environments, they improve production efficiency by autonomously transporting materials between workstations and performing basic assembly or handling tasks. For last-mile logistics, including courier, express, parcel (CEP), and grocery delivery, dual-arm AMRs further boost operational efficiency by automating repetitive loading, sorting, and delivery operations.
