What is CYCLO?

CYCLO architecture: Studio and Marketplace platform; Intelligence, Lab, Control, App, Flow, and OS software; DYNAMIXEL-based robots and actuators

CYCLO is ROBOTIS's Physical AI ecosystem, connecting the creation and sharing of robot capabilities with learning, simulation, control, applications, and operation on DYNAMIXEL-based hardware.

The architecture is organized into three layers:

Platform: Cyclo Studio simulates and trains Cyclo Ready Robots to create actions and deploy them to physical robots. Cyclo Marketplace lets users share and sell datasets, actions, and AI models.
Software: Intelligence, Lab, Control, App, and Flow cover learning, simulation, motion control, applications, and orchestration. Cyclo Manager provides web-based robot operation and maintenance. Under these modules, OS provides the common foundation for DYNAMIXEL management, service management, real-time control, health, and safety.
Hardware: DYNAMIXEL actuators power AI Sapiens, AI Worker, OMY, OMX, ROBOTIS Hand, and custom DYNAMIXEL-based robots.

Together, these layers connect robot development with operation: create a workflow, develop learned or simulated behaviors, combine them with motion control and application logic, and run them on the robot. Module availability and setup depend on the robot; the module pages below link to the existing system-specific guides.

CYCLO follows ROBOTIS's open-source philosophy, making software building blocks available for developers to learn from, integrate, and extend.
