Produced by BeingBeyond! The world's first desktop-level dexterous robotic arm in the 10,000-yuan price range

With the vigorous development of the embodied intelligence industry, colleges and universities as well as research institutions have an increasingly urgent demand for robot platforms that combine performance and cost-effectiveness. However, there are still significant bottlenecks on the supply side of the market:

One is the cost: traditional industrial robotic arms are expensive, often costing hundreds of thousands of yuan. The second is usability: current traditional industrial robotic arms face shortcomings such as complex development, difficult maintenance, and lack of supporting algorithms and models, which severely restrict the implementation efficiency of scientific research and innovation.

The world's first desktop-level dexterous mobile robotic arm —— D1

Against this background, BeingBeyond officially launched the world's first desktop-level dexterous robotic arm, D1.

One of the advantages of D1 is its high integration, which combines three core functions: "robotic arm + dexterous hand + active vision system" into one. In terms of price, it is as low as ten thousand yuan, truly enabling immediate access to embodied intelligence.

The D1 robotic arm adopts a highly modular architecture and has 19 degrees of freedom (6 for the arm + 2 for the head + 11 for the hand), among which 14 are active degrees of freedom and 5 are passive linkage degrees of freedom, truly achieving full-process coverage from perception to manipulation. With decoupled modules, standard interfaces, easy installation and immediate use, as well as convenient disassembly and replacement, it is an ideal choice for scientific research and teaching.

D1 has 19 degrees of freedom

Among them, the robotic arm module has 6 degrees of freedom.The arm joints are designed in layers according to their functions, supporting quick calibration and unified zero position management. Multi-machine deployment is more efficient, and resetting and maintenance can be done in one step.

Active vision head with 2 degrees of freedom,Based on the series connection of the bus and the robotic arm, command and clock synchronization control are implemented. It supports flexible replacement of RGB/RGB-D/depth modules, etc., meets the first-person perspective data collection of active vision, and connects the closed-loop link of "seeing + moving".

The dexterous hand module has 11 degrees of freedom, including 6 active degrees of freedom and 5 passive degrees of freedom.The active joints of the dexterous hand module feature precise control, enabling high-precision operations; the passive linkage provides natural compliance and fitting force, enhancing the adaptability and stability of grasping irregularly shaped targets, and making complex movements easy to perform.

The D1 robotic arm can uniformly control the "arm-hand-head" through a set of APIs, and is ready to use right out of the box. It has built-in rich open-source code, enabling VR teleoperation, simulation reinforcement learning, VLA model training and deployment, truly achieving plug-and-play and ready-to-research right out of the box.

Compared with traditional scientific research robotic arm solutions, D1 has a generational advantage in terms of price, ease of use, and expandability, bringing a disruptive upgrade to embodied intelligence research:

Ultra-high cost performance, the 10,000-yuan full-featured platform breaks the high-price barrier! D1, with an approachable to the people (user-friendly) price of around 10,000 yuan, integrates a six-axis robotic arm, a dexterous hand, and a vision system. Its overall cost is much lower than that of similar configurations on the market, enabling universities and research institutions to easily set up experimental environments without being constrained by budgets.

Ready to use out of the box, with zero threshold for quick start. It comes standard with the self-developed VLA model Being-H series, enabling basic grasping tasks right after unboxing. Combined with abundant open-source code, it easily realizes VR teleoperation, data collection, VLA fine-tuning and deployment, simulation reinforcement learning, etc., accelerating every step from experimental ideas to implementation verification.

Modular design, fully supporting expansion and upgrading with reserved standard interfaces and installation positions, compatible with various expansion modules such as exoskeleton data collection kits, end sensors, and customized actuators, and supporting dual-arm configuration. Whether it is introductory teaching or cutting-edge scientific research, D1 can flexibly respond and continuously evolve.

BeingBeyond D1 is not a "miniature version" of traditional robotic arms. Instead, it is a new generation of scientific research platform with higher integration, greater flexibility, and lower learning costs. Its modules can be quickly disassembled and installed, and functions can be combined as needed. Researchers can freely reconstruct it according to experimental goals, completing the entire closed loop from conception to verification quickly at a lower cost.
