OpenArm Waist Extension (OpenSourced)

[TomCC7]

Hello, we just open-sourced our custom waist design for openarm. We found that adding waist joints can significantly improve robot's operation space (check video).

Also, as a bonus feature, you can test out this model directly on any VR headset using the teleoperation project below!
