About

About PiPER-X

PiPER-X is AgileX Robotics’ six-axis lightweight robotic arm for research, education and embodied-AI development. It provides joint-level control and interfaces intended for manipulation experiments, mobile-manipulator integration and data collection.

The arm can be combined with compatible grippers, mobile bases and developer software as part of a configured robotics platform. Reach, payload, repeatability and control behaviour remain attached to the exact PiPER-X configuration and end effector.
