Fully Open-Source Design

End-to-End Technology Sharing that Fosters Global Co-creation and Iteration

Fully Open-Source Design
The SA01 features a fully open-source design, with its complete hardware architecture and interfaces openly available.
The platform enables users to customize and modify the mechanical structure to suit their needs, with support for adding compatible modules such as robotic arms.
thereby expanding the robot's functional applications. Its open-design approach enables research teams to gain a deep understanding of its core technologies.
The robot's core structure, and freely experiment with various hardware modifications to enable custom development​ and innovative experiments​ in diverse scenarios.

Open-source motion control algorithms

Transparent underlying code, accelerating algorithm research and iteration

Open-source motion control algorithms
The motion control algorithms and software framework of SA01 are fully open source.
Users have access to the underlying control code, allowing them to modify or replace algorithm modules based on their needs.
Directly deploy your self-developed control strategies onto the physical robot for real-world validation.
By open-sourcing our strategy, we lower the barrier to algorithmic experimentation. Users can understand the control principles of bipedal robots by reading
the source code and quickly get started developing
their own locomotion algorithms.
Self-developed straight-knee gait

Self-developed straight-knee gait

SA01 is equipped with a high-performance drive system and advanced motion control algorithms, delivering exceptional dynamic performance. Its bionic legs, each with six degrees of freedom, enable a smooth, self-developed straight-legged gait. Powerful real-time balance control ensures stable movement even during acceleration, emergency stops, or when responding to external disturbances.

Full-stack self-developed high-performance joints

SA01 features full-stack self-developed integrated joint modules, with peak torque of 160 Nm at both the hip and knee joints. This robust power output enables the robot to handle high-load operations with ease. The innovative joint design incorporates dual absolute magnetic encoders, ensuring quick and precise positional recovery after power cycles. Each joint comes with comprehensive safety mechanisms for reliable operation.
