Advanced Metal Research
Advanced Metal Research builds six-axis industrial robot arms—the Rosie 600, 1000, and 1400—with an open-source RosieOS controller that is fully unlocked from day one. The robots can be programmed via a handheld Steam Deck pendant, in code, or with any AI, and include pre-load collision checking for weld programs. Launch prices range from $9,900 to $29,000 for pre-orders before December 31, 2026.

Problem
Industrial robots are reliable, but the ecosystem around them—buying, programming, and servicing—holds factories back. Established robot makers license motion functions, process packages, and programming seats one by one on machines already paid for, lock users into proprietary languages and tools, and provide slow, opaque service. Buyers stay because the hardware runs for years, but they have no real alternative.
Solution
Rosie builds six-axis industrial robot arms—the Rosie 600, 1000, and 1400—machined and assembled in the USA, with a controller called RosieOS that is fully open source under Apache 2.0 and completely unlocked from day one. Users can program the robot any way they like: from the handheld Steam Deck pendant, in code, through offline programming in a browser, or with any AI. Add-on skills, starting with welding, expand the platform, and weld programs are checked for collisions and joint limits before loading. The same arm can handle, assemble, dispense, deburr, and cut with different end-effectors and programs.
Target Audience
Primary customers are small-to-mid-size manufacturers and integrators who need accessible, cost-effective robotic automation for welding, machine tending, palletizing, assembly, dispensing, coating, deburring, and plasma cutting, and who want to avoid vendor lock-in.
Features
- Three robot models with 600 mm, 1,000 mm, and 1,400 mm reach; payloads from 7.4 kg to 15 kg nominal; repeatability down to ±0.03 mm
- RosieOS real-time controller, open source under Apache 2.0, with every function unlocked—no paid feature unlocks
- Handheld Steam Deck teach pendant with live 1 kHz capture of position, velocity, acceleration, following error, and torque from every drive
- Offline programming in the browser with MoveJ, MoveL, MoveC moves, dwells, I/O, Home, and STEP part import for edge-based weld picking
- Pre-load collision and joint-limit checking, plus simulation replay before real joints move
- Harmonic gearboxes and absolute encoders on all six joints across the Rosie 600 and 1000; 220–240 VAC supply options from single-phase to three-phase
