LeRobot is the open-source stack bringing real robots to everyone. Hephasbot is the fastest way to drive it โ plug in an SO-100 or SO-101, open a browser tab, and teleoperate with low-latency WebRTC. No drivers. No CLI. No install.
The stack
Hugging Face LeRobot is an open-source PyTorch library for real-world robotics โ pretrained models, datasets, and tools for imitation and reinforcement learning, built to lower the barrier to entry. It ships first-class support for affordable, capable arms like the SO-100 and SO-101: leader-follower teleoperation, dataset recording, and policy training.
Hephasbot doesn't replace any of that. It's the easy on-ramp โ so you can move the arm first and dive into the Python later.
Getting hands-on with LeRobot today means terminal commands, USB port hunting, motor ID/baudrate setup, calibration, and per-OS driver issues. If you just want to move the arm and see it work, that's a lot of yak-shaving before the first motion.
The shortcut
Hephasbot runs the same LeRobot-compatible arms you already have โ it just skips everything between plugging in and first movement.
Connect an SO-100 or SO-101 over USB. That's the only setup.
Launch it in your browser โ it detects the arm. No drivers, no install.
Drive it in real time over low-latency WebRTC, with live video and joint feedback.
Runs in a tab. Nothing to install, nothing to configure.
Real-time video and joint feedback for responsive teleoperation.
Leader-follower, gamepad, keyboard, and direct joint control.
Built on LeRobot โ works with the arms you already have.
Skip port hunting and calibration scripts to get to first movement.
LeRobot datasets and pretrained policies underneath the hood.
Skip the setup. Plug in your SO-100 or SO-101 and start teleoperating in seconds.
