Elephant Robotics myCobot 280 Pi

by Elephant Robotics

#4 in Robot kits & arms

A ready-built six-axis arm with a Raspberry Pi inside, so it runs without a PC. I'd program it in blocks, Python or ROS; it lifts up to 250 g.

What’s good

  • Works out of the box, Pi 4B built in
  • Python, ROS 1/2 and block coding
  • Repeats moves within 0.5 mm

Heads-up

  • Small 250 g payload
  • Built-in Pi has only 2 GB of RAM
