AgileX Modular ALOHA

Modular ALOHA is what AgileX did to its own COBOT Magic after two years of selling it. The original was a single rig: two follower arms doing the work, two leader arms for the operator to hold, all bolted to one chassis, with the operator walking behind. Modular ALOHA splits that in half. The follower arms and the mobile base stay together; the leader arms the human actually holds become a separate station that can sit anywhere on the network. That is the whole point of the redesign — teleoperation across space rather than over the robot's shoulder. The base is the RANGER MINI 3.0, the omnidirectional four-wheel-steering chassis AgileX already sells on its own, which brings zero-radius turning and sideways travel into tight kitchens and workcells. On top sits a powered lifting column with published ROS drivers, so the working height of both arms changes under program control rather than by hand. The maker supplies an external power station and a redundant battery arrangement, and the whole thing navigates and returns to charge by itself — a data-collection rig that can keep running when nobody is in the room is a different proposition from one that stops when its battery does. The software story is deliberately unoriginal: it stays compatible with Mobile ALOHA, ACT and the other open-source imitation-learning frameworks that grew out of the Stanford work. Anyone with recorded datasets or training code for the original rig can keep using them. As with the rest of the maker's mid-2026 launches, the numbers are missing. AgileX publishes no arm reach, no payload per arm, no camera count, no lifting range, no mass and no price for this configuration, and there is no user manual for it in the download centre. What is known about the chassis underneath comes from the separate RANGER MINI 3.0 documentation, not from any Modular ALOHA specification sheet. The product went on sale at the end of July 2026.
