Koch v1.1 is an open-source, low-cost 6-DoF leader-follower robot arm design by Alexander Koch, built on Dynamixel smart servos and popularized through the Hugging Face LeRobot ecosystem. Intended for teleoperation and imitation-learning data collection, a leader arm is manually guided while a follower arm mirrors its motion. WowRobo commercializes the design as a ready-to-run product, and pairs two arms into its bimanual TwinArm platform.
