# Third-Party Robots & Teleoperators

The LeRobot ecosystem extends far beyond its officially supported hardware. Thanks to LeRobot's plugin architecture, the community has built integrations for a wide range of robot arms and teleoperation devices — from industrial manipulators to affordable hobbyist platforms, VR headsets, haptic devices, and full arm-plus-leader kits. This page showcases community-maintained integrations you can use for teleoperation, data collection, and policy deployment.

These projects are developed and maintained by third parties. Please refer to each repository for installation instructions, hardware requirements, and support.
