Sourccey robot hardware
Sourccey is a personal robot designed around practical, real-world tasks. Its serviceable mechanical platform gives builders a foundation they can study, maintain, and adapt.
About Vulcan Robotics
Making robotics accessible to everyone.
Our mission is to make Sourccey the world's most accessible and reliable open-source personal robot.
What we build
What Vulcan Robotics does
Open development platform
Public hardware, electrical, and software repositories expose how the system works. Builders can move from operating the robot to modifying it, collecting demonstrations, and training new behaviors.
Software, documentation, and support
Desktop tools, build documentation, replacement parts, and community channels support the full ownership journey. The goal is to make advanced robotics understandable beyond a research lab.
Why Sourccey
What makes Vulcan Robotics different
01
Open across three engineering layers
Sourccey publishes separate hardware, electrical, and desktop software projects. That gives builders visibility into the physical design, electronics, and operating tools instead of limiting access to a closed app.
02
Built to be trained by demonstration
Sourccey combines teleoperation with LeRobot-compatible training workflows. Operators can demonstrate a physical task, collect data, and use that experience to develop robot behavior.
03
Multiple ways to operate
The robot supports three practical control paths through its onboard 7-inch touchscreen, desktop software, and teleoperation hardware. Builders can choose the interface that fits setup, testing, or data collection.
04
Designed for repair and modification
Public mechanical files, replaceable components, and individually addressable servos make the platform approachable to maintain. The design favors hands-on ownership over a sealed-appliance model.
05
Hardware and learning in one platform
Sourccey brings the robot, software, technical documentation, and developer community together. Compared with humanoid home robots such as 1X NEO and Figure 03, Sourccey emphasizes openly published design layers and a builder-serviceable platform.
06
Accessibility and reliability by design
We are building Sourccey to set a new standard for open-source personal robots. Affordable hardware, repairable parts, public designs, and dependable tools are central to that mission.
Built for builders

- Robotics developers building and testing embodied-AI workflows.
- Researchers and students learning manipulation, teleoperation, and imitation learning.
- Makers who want a serviceable robot with public design files and replaceable parts.
- Early adopters exploring how personal robots can assist with everyday household routines.
Our story
The team behind Vulcan Robotics
Built by twin brothers on a mission to make robotics affordable and accessible
Vulcan Robotics was started by twin brothers Nicholas and Christopher Maselli. We are on a mission to make robots affordable and accessible to people around the world. That mission led us to build Sourccey as an open platform anyone can understand, repair, train, and improve.
