Seeed sells the base kit with 3D-printed parts and battery; the arm, Pi and cameras are added as options, and teleoperation uses a leader arm plus keyboard driving.",

  "notes": "Classified as a mobile manipulator: the LeKiwi design is an SO-101 arm on an omni base and Seeed's Full Kit configurator sells base and arm together; the base-only kit price is recorded as the lowest offer. The base kit alone does not manipulate; manipulates=true describes the LeKiwi design (base + SO-101 arm) that the Full Kit configurator assembles. integrated_arm=false because the arm is a separate line item. Battery capacity not stated. The direct kit page (Lekiwi-Kit-p-6501) returned an error. release_year 2025 is inferred only from LeKiwi being cited as prior work by XLeRobot (released 2025) — treat as unverified.",
