Agilex COBOT Magic (COBOT Magic)

A robot that is going to learn to cook, tidy a table or pass an object from one hand to the other needs someone to show it how first. The Agilex COBOT Magic (COBOT Magic) is built around that idea: a person guides the machine, and the machine records the demonstration for training.

The product is available through this page, by quotation.

Background

AgileX Robotics and its open-source approach

AgileX Robotics was founded in 2016. The company's mission is advancing embodied intelligence innovation and speeding up the global commercialization of robotics through full-stack robotic technologies and an open-source ecosystem. COBOT Magic fits that mission closely. It is an open-source robotic system, and its mobile base comes from the company's own Tracer differential motion robot. Buyers who want to see the wider range can browse the AgileX category or the Cobots category.

Mobile ALOHA and what COBOT Magic does with it

Mobile ALOHA is a whole-body remote operation data collection system developed by Zipeng Fu, Tony Z. Zhao and Chelsea Finn from Stanford University. COBOT Magic uses Mobile ALOHA to control both a mobile base and robotic arms. The hardware has an indoor AGV base, robotic arms and a deep camera, and it supports tasks from pick-and-place to more complex work such as cooking and organizing objects.

The system is based on four robotic arms, with two wrist cameras and one top camera, mounted on the AgileX Robotics Tracer mobile base. It has stronger robotic arms and more powerful industrial computers than a basic setup, which is why it suits dual-arm tasks, in industry and in research alike.

Technical Specifications

The manufacturer has not published the battery capacity, the maximum speed, the IP rating, the operating temperature, the power supply voltage, the total system weight, the standard onboard computer model or the communication interfaces; they are confirmed at quotation.

What makes COBOT Magic different from an ordinary mobile robot?

An ordinary mobile robot moves from place to place. A robot arm on a fixed stand reaches for things. COBOT Magic joins the two and treats them as one system that a person controls together. Mobile ALOHA is the control method that makes this possible, and it is the reason the platform is called a whole-body system. The base drives, the arms reach and grasp, and the cameras record what the robot sees while all of it happens.

The numbers follow from that design. The arms are 6 DOF lightweight arms, customized by AgileX, and there are four of them. The platform has 14 + 2 DOFs in total, which gives a team plenty of room to collect varied data. Three Orbbec Dabai depth cameras give the system its view of the work area. The Tracer base carries a payload of 100kg, while the arm payload is 1.5kg. The base can therefore carry far more than the arms can lift, and a buyer planning tasks should keep the arm figure in mind.

The footprint is 685mm x 570mm x 155mm, with a weight of 28-30kg. The arm reach is 509mm. That is a working envelope for tabletop and counter-height tasks, and it makes the platform a better fit for tidying, sorting and kitchen-style work than for tasks that need a long reach.

What does the Mobile ALOHA software environment add?

Hardware alone does not train a model. A Mobile ALOHA software environment is provided for data and model training across simulated and real-world environments, and it supports robot learning with VLA frameworks and world models. In practice a team records demonstrations on the real robot, builds up a dataset, and then trains and tests models in the same environment.

The ROS support matters for the same reason. The platform works with ROS 1 (Melodic and Noetic) and ROS 2 (Foxy and Humble), and full SDK documentation and examples come with it. A lab that already runs one of these ROS versions can bring COBOT Magic into its existing workflow without changing the rest of its stack. The open-source nature of the system also means a team can inspect how it works and extend it.

For heavier computing, the optional industrial PC is listed as APQ-X7010/GPU 4060/i7-9700-32g-4T. An optional CH110 IMU and an optional 11.6" 1080p display are also on the configuration list. They are optional, so they should be named in the request for quotation.

Who is COBOT Magic for?

University and research laboratories are the clearest group. They need a repeatable hardware stack for work on imitation learning, mobile manipulation and robot learning, and they benefit from a design that comes from Stanford's Mobile ALOHA work and is open source.

Industrial R&D teams are the second group. The platform suits dual-arm tasks in industry as well as research. A team exploring whether a two-handed mobile robot could take on handling tasks can use it to collect demonstration data before committing to a larger program.

Training institutions and technical schools in the Caribbean can also use it to teach embodied intelligence on a real machine rather than on slides. Buyers who need a smaller starting point may want to compare the Agilex COBOT KIT or the AgileX COBOT S KIT before deciding. Teams that only need an arm can look at the Agilex Piper Lightweight Robotic Arm. Our team can compare these with you when you request a quotation.

What is COBOT Magic used for?

1. Teleoperated data collection. A person drives the base and guides the arms with Mobile ALOHA, and the robot records the demonstration.
2. Pick-and-place work. Pick-and-place is among the tasks the system supports.
3. Dual-arm manipulation. Four arms, a top camera and two wrist cameras allow research into two-handed tasks.
4. Cooking and organizing objects. These are examples of the more complex operations the system can take on.
5. Robot learning research. Teams train models in simulated and real-world environments, with VLA frameworks and world models.
6. Teaching and ROS development. Students and engineers work with ROS 1 or ROS 2 using the SDK documentation and examples.

What about the battery and the speed?

Neither figure appears in the specification table. Ask for them when you request your quotation.

Where can I buy COBOT Magic and what does it cost?

You can buy it through this page by requesting a quotation. The cost depends on the configuration you choose, and we give it in the quotation rather than on the page.

Summary

COBOT Magic starts from a simple idea: a robot learns best from a person who shows it the task. It combines the Tracer base, four 6 DOF arms, depth cameras and the Mobile ALOHA software environment. That gives research and industrial teams one platform for collecting demonstrations, training models and testing them in simulated and real-world environments. If you want to put that to work, this page is the starting point.
