  Repository record for SIGRobotics-UIUC/LeKiwi: 1,441 stars, description "LeKiwi - Low-Cost Mobile Manipulator".

LeKiwi puts a single small arm on a base that drives in any direction, so it can move to a task instead of waiting for the task to be brought to the table. It has one arm and no legs, well short of a full humanoid.
