According to foreign media reports, the South Korean robot manufacturer "ROBOTIS" has launched a physical artificial intelligence (physical AI) robotic arm called "OMX" for beginners at around 40,000 yen. This release completes three physical AI lineups that had been prepared since early 2025.

According to a report by MEGA News journalist Shin Young-bin, Robotiz's newly released robotic hand OMX will be available for 299 dollars (approximately 44,300 yen). OMX is a small 5-degree-of-freedom (5-DOF) platform based on Dynamixel-X, consisting of a passive robotic arm and a reader device.

It supports end-to-end imitation learning (IL) and reinforcement learning (RL) pipelines, as well as ROS 2 native workflows. It is designed for immediate use without complex motor setup or calibration tasks.

The safety return function allows you to return to the initial position at any time, making it safe for beginners to use. It can rotate the base 360 degrees to provide a larger workspace.

Although it is compact, it also has powerful features. The smooth remote control is achieved through a low-friction reader, a reader (OMX-L) that runs on only USB power, and a natural grip using a spring trigger.

With the launch of this OMX, Robotiz will officially begin to popularize physical AI. From the entry-level research product OMX at around 40,000 yen, to the high-end AI robotic arm "OMY", and then to the semi-humanoid robot system "AI Walker", the product line has been carefully crafted.

This will help the gradual development of physical AI research. Its structure is based on basic motion learning and full-body imitation learning, ultimately leading to the execution of autonomous movements. The company stated: "OMX is a product that allows anyone to take their first step in experiencing physical AI. We will work with researchers and industry partners to accelerate the future where robots free people from repetitive and dangerous labor."
