Agility A1: An Open-Source Robotic Arm Trusted by Users Worldwide

Hundreds Deployed Worldwide. Trusted by Researchers, Engineers, and Innovators.

In recent months, Agility A1 has rapidly gained global attention.
With hundreds of units already delivered to customers across the world, the A1 robotic arm has become one of the most sought-after platforms in physical AI research and real-world robotic deployment.

From academic labs to industrial R&D teams, Agility A1 is being adopted for one clear reason:
it combines human-level dexterity, open-source flexibility, and contact-rich readiness in a single, robust system.

Agility A1 is a fully open-source humanoid robot arm, designed to bridge the gap between research prototypes and real-world applications.

Each arm offers:

• 7 degrees of freedom

• 633 mm reach

• 5.5 kg arm weight

• Up to 6 kg peak payload

• High-speed 1 kHz CAN-FD control

This configuration enables precise, responsive, and dynamic motion, making Agility A1 ideal for tasks that demand accuracy, adaptability, and physical interaction.

Industrial-Grade Motor System Built for Precision and Strength

At the core of Agility A1 lies a carefully engineered motor system:

• DAMIAO 43-series and 8009P motors are selected for each joint, from shoulder to end-effector

• Cross-roller bearings enhance rigidity and precision in single-side-supported sections

• The DAMIAO 4340 series delivers high payload capacity in a clean, compact form

This combination ensures smooth motion, structural stability, and long-term reliability, even in contact-intensive environments.

Fully Open-Source, From Hardware to Software

Agility A1 is fully open-source, covering the entire development stack:

• Mechanical CAD models

• Firmware source code

• Control software

• Simulation tools

• PCB schematics

By making everything openly available, Agility A1 dramatically reduces development barriers and costs, enabling teams to customize, extend, and deploy faster than ever.

The platform is designed based on the OpenArm open-source framework, providing a proven foundation while allowing complete freedom for innovation.

Built for Safe, Compliant, and Dexterous Interaction

Agility A1 is engineered for environments where robots must interact closely with the physical world.

Key capabilities include:

• Smooth teleoperation

• Real-time gravity compensation

• Compliant, backdrivable joints

These features allow the arm to perform powerful yet safe interactions, making it suitable for manipulation, research, and contact-rich tasks where control and responsiveness are critical.
