ViperX

ViperX is a series of 6-DOF robot arms manufactured by Trossen Robotics, widely used in academic robot learning research due to their low cost, ROS support, and compatibility with the DYNAMIXEL servo ecosystem. The ViperX 300 (with 300 mm reach) and ViperX 300-S are among the most common research arms found in imitation learning setups and are the follower arms in the original ALOHA system. ViperX arms have modest payload (~750 g) and accuracy compared to industrial robots but offer an accessible entry point for manipulation research. Browse SVRC's hardware store for availability.
