Setup and Getting Started

Estimated Setup Time: 20 to 30 minutes for unpacking, wearing, calibrating, and pairing with a target robot.
Step 1 - Unbox: Verify components: dual-arm exoskeleton unit (800g per arm, 1.5 kg total), USB Type-C cable, and documentation.
Step 2 - Charge: Charge the built-in battery via USB Type-C (8.4V 2A input). A full charge provides up to 2 hours of continuous use.
Step 3 - Wear the Exoskeleton: Attach both arm units. The S570 spans 1500 mm total with a 570 mm reach per arm. Each arm provides 6 DOF (12 DOF total) with 12 high-precision sensors at 4096 resolution.
Step 4 - Connect to Target Robot: Pair via USB Type-C, Bluetooth, or WiFi. The ESP32 main controller (240 MHz dual-core, 520KB SRAM) handles dual-mode Bluetooth and WiFi simultaneously.
Step 5 - Calibrate: Run the calibration routine using the 2.0-inch LCD display (320 x 240, IPS, 853 nits). The system captures motion data at 100 Hz sampling rate with plus or minus 180 degrees rotation range.
Step 6 - Test Teleoperation: Use RViz for real-time robot state visualization. Python, ROS1, and ROS2 are fully supported for development.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the myController S570 do?

It is a wearable upper-body exoskeleton controller. The operator wears it like a vest with arm cuffs, and the controller's joint encoders track the operator's arm motions in real time. Those motions are streamed to a paired robotic arm (typically a myArm or myCobot) which mirrors the human movements. It is a teleoperation device for training imitation-learning policies and for direct teleoperation.

Which arms does it pair with?

Officially supported pairings: myArm M750, myArm C650, myCobot Pro 600, myCobot 280, and myCobot 320. ROS 2 publishers expose the joint angles, so any robot that subscribes to ROS 2 joint_state topics can theoretically follow the operator. Latency between human motion and arm motion is approximately 30 to 50 ms.

Does it work for collecting imitation-learning data?

Yes, this is one of its primary use cases. The S570 records joint trajectories during demonstrations which can then train policies via behavioral cloning, diffusion policies, or other imitation-learning methods. Most users record 20 to 100 demonstrations per task. Combined with a wrist-mounted camera, this is the standard pipeline for vision-language-action models on small arms.

How does it fit different operators?

Adjustable straps fit operators with arm lengths from approximately 50 to 75 cm (29.5 inches) (most adults). The cuffs are padded and breathable. Calibration takes 30 seconds at the start of each session: the operator holds a neutral pose while the controller zeros its encoders to the operator's body.

Is it wired or wireless?

Wireless via 2.4 GHz radio to a USB receiver on the host computer, with a wired USB option as fallback. Wireless range is approximately 10 meters (33 feet). The onboard battery lasts about 6 hours per charge and recharges via USB-C in 90 minutes.

Can it be used by children?

Yes for older children (approximately 12 and up) with normal supervision. The smallest strap setting fits adolescent arms. Younger children may find the cuffs too loose for accurate tracking. The exoskeleton itself is not active (no motors that can move on their own); it is a passive sensor that tracks the wearer's motion.
