Looking for an old robot, robot arm or servos to borrow (broken is fine)

Hi! MSc Robotics (MAE) student here. I'm trying to get hands-on with a real robot outside of class and can't really afford to buy one.

If you or your lab/club has anything gathering dust (SO-100/SO-101, a small arm, a TurtleBot or mobile base, old competition robots, Dynamixels or other servos), I'd love to borrow it or take it off your hands. Broken is fine, I'll fix it, and I'll collect it anywhere on campus or in the west.

Planning to use it for LeRobot imitation learning and ROS 2 practice, and I'm happy to share what I build or help anyone else who wants to learn. DM me, thanks!

Student in Singapore looking for a retired ROS-capable robot (TurtleBot, mobile base, small arm), any condition

I'm an MSc Robotics student at NTU and want to get properly hands-on with ROS 2 on real hardware, beyond simulation. Buying a platform isn't realistic for me right now.

Does anyone have an older ROS-compatible robot they're not using anymore (TurtleBot 2/3, a Clearpath or AgileX base, a small arm with a ROS driver)? Broken is fine, I'm happy to repair it, and I'll cover shipping or collect in Singapore/Malaysia.

In return I'll document the bring-up on ROS 2 Humble/Jazzy and share the notes and any driver fixes openly. Pointers to labs or companies that clear out old hardware are also very welcome.

looking for room/flatmate near NTU (Msc Robotics student)

Hi all, male incoming MSc student (Robotics & Intelligent Systems) starting this August. Looking for housing near NTU either a room to rent or someone to share a flat/condo with.

Ideally sharing with other Masters students, Robotics/AI folks preferred, but honestly anyone chill and clean works fine. Open to Pioneer/Jurong West/Boon Lay areas/lakeside or anywhere with a decent commute to campus.

If you've got a spare room, are forming a group to rent a place, or just have advice on where to look, drop a comment or DM. Thanks!
