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.
