LeKiwi

The LeKiwi robotic arm, developed by SIGRobotics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), is designed for accessibility, precision, and real-world application in robotics and AI learning environments. It features a 3-wheel Kiwi drive with omni wheels and integrates the SO-ARM 100 robotic arm. It’s a compact and powerful solution ideal for students, educators, and robotics enthusiasts seeking an entry point into autonomous robotics.

We offer flexible purchasing options to fit your needs. You can choose the Full Kit, which includes high-quality 3D-printed components of the robot (including the SO-ARM 100 arm set), precision servos, a motor control board, a power supply, a USB-C cable, and all required hardware for smooth and reliable assembly.

The Full Kit is available in assembled or unassembled formats. Alternatively, you may opt for the 3D Parts, i.e., 3D printed mobile base and robotic arms only package if you already have the electronics and hardware. The 3D Parts Only option comes unassembled. Simply select your preferred configuration when placing your order.
