Physical AI Global Workshop Partnership Program
At Seeed Studio, we build open-source robotics platforms to make Physical AI development more accessible.
From SO-ARM101 and reBot Arm B601 hardware to software stacks like LeRobot, ROS 2, NVIDIA Isaac Sim, and Pinocchio, we’re lowering the barrier between learning and building.
We believe the best robotics ecosystem is built by developers, from community. That’s why we’re launching the Seeed Global workshop Partnership Program—to work with local communities and organizations worldwide to host hands-on robotics and Physical AI hackathons, helping more developers build real projects with true hardware in physical world.

reBot Arm Workshop
1 Day
Robotics arm development
Learn More
Powered by the open-source 6+1 DoF reBot Arm, this hands-on workshop enables participants to experience a complete Physical AI workflow in a single day.
Teams will rapidly prototype robotic solutions by combining perception, motion planning, AI models, and manipulation to solve real-world tasks. From integrating sensors and software stacks to testing, iterating, and deploying autonomous behaviors, participants go through the full robotics development cycle.
By the end of the workshop, each team delivers a working demo—turning ideas into practical robotic applications for real scenarios, from precise home and lab execution to lightweight industrial automation.
SO-ARM101 Workshop
1 Day
End-to-End imitation learning
Learn More
Powered by the open-source 3D-printed SO-ARM101 teleoperation arms and Hugging Face LeRobot framework, this hands-on workshop enables developers to experience the complete embodied AI development workflow in just one day.
Participants will learn how to teleoperate the robot arm to complete data collection in real/sim, train learning policies, and deploy AI models back onto the robot for autonomous task execution.
Teams will rapidly prototype, test, and showcase their own embodied AI applications while gaining practical experience in robotics control, teleoperation, reinforcement learning, and real-world deployment.
- Pick-and-place and object sorting
- Household long-horizon tasks
