Almond

Almond sells Axol, a dual arm robot designed for builders working on physical AI, meaning researchers and engineers who train and deploy robot manipulation policies. It ships assembled in the United States and is positioned as ready to use out of the box. Each arm has 7 degrees of freedom, 860mm of reach, a 6.5kg peak payload and a 500Hz control rate. The vendor highlights full 180 degree pitch and yaw at the wrist to reduce shoulder singularities, internally routed cabling, and FAKRA GMSL 2.0 passthrough for wrist mounted cameras. The software side is open source: a Python SDK and command line tool with a bimanual inverse kinematics solver, a low level CAN motor interface, ZED camera streaming and LeRobot bindings, plus a WebXR VR teleoperation pipeline with data collection and recording modes. Prices are published. Axol starts at $9,499 for the complete dual arm robot, or $8,549 without grippers. The Jelly Mobile powered holonomic base with a telescoping lift is $7,999. Mantis UMI, a pair of handheld data collection grippers, starts at $1,799 per pair. The site lists items as in stock and shipping from San Francisco in about one week, and offers a demo request alongside ordering.
