ALOHA
Low-cost bimanual hardware and teleop stack paired with ACT-style algorithms.
Overview
ALOHA is the open low-cost bimanual teleop platform that sparked a wave of dual-arm imitation research (ACT, Mobile ALOHA, ALOHA Unleashed). Hardware + software recipes enable high-quality demo collection.
Bimanual calibration and latency matter as much as the learning algorithm. Start with single skills before long-horizon tasks.
Learning Path: real dual-arm collection + policy deployment milestone.
Who it is for
Labs starting real bimanual IL on a budget.
Key highlights
- Low-cost bimanual teleop
- Proven with ACT policies
- Strong community DIY knowledge
When to use
- Real bimanual tabletop data collection
- Teaching real-robot pipelines
When not to use
- Industrial payload / safety-certified cells required
Getting started
- 1Follow official BOM and calibration guides carefully.
- 2Collect a small demo set and train ACT.
- 3Document latency from camera to action command.
