This collaboration brings the OMY, purpose-built for physical AI research, intelligent automation, and advanced manipulation, directly into the Automation Studio™ Manufacturers’ Catalogue platform. Engineers, researchers, and automation professionals can now drag and drop the OMY arm from the ROBOTIS V1.0 catalogue into system models, configure parameters, and simulate performance in a unified digital environment. This streamlines workflows for robotics research, machine design, virtual testing, and training across hydraulics, pneumatics, electrical, robotics, and process control technologies.

Powered by high-performance DYNAMIXEL-Y actuators with cycloidal gear reduction, the OMY delivers high torque, smooth motion, precise control, and exceptional impact resistance, comparable to (and in many cases surpassing) harmonic drives. Unlike harmonic drives that risk buckling or ratcheting under collisions, the OMY's design maintains stability and positioning reliability in demanding, unpredictable scenarios.

In contrast to traditional collaborative robots (cobots), which are often rigid, non-modular, maintenance-intensive, and difficult to modify, the OMY offers superior flexibility. Its modular architecture supports easy customization with sensors, grippers, end-effectors, and tools, enabling rapid reconfiguration and deployment into diverse service solutions, from academic labs to industrial floors. Full ROS 2 compatibility further enhances real-time control and integration.

For desktop-bound researchers or simulation-only environments, these advantages may be less apparent. However, in real-world applications with unexpected impacts, dynamic conditions, or the need for quick adaptations, the OMY excels, especially when paired with robust simulation tools. The new ROBOTIS V1.0 catalogue for Automation Studio™ adds powerful capabilities for Sim2Real validation, allowing users to test behaviors virtually with realistic physics before physical deployment, reducing risk and accelerating development.
