1 units available with a short lead time.

Express post shipping available (product has a short lead time)

This Raspberry Pi-powered six-axis robotic arm is a compact, all-in-one platform for robotics programming, ROS simulation, and algorithm development. Built around the Broadcom BCM2711 (Raspberry Pi 4) with a built-in Ubuntu system, it runs independently without a PC — simply connect peripherals and start developing.

The arm features 6 high-performance servo motors with a 280 mm working radius and 250 g payload capacity. It supports multiple programming languages including Python, C++, and C#, as well as graphical programming via myBlockly and Mind+. With built-in ROS support, colour visual tracking, QR code and gesture recognition, and compatibility with various cameras, it covers a wide range of robotics applications.

Note: This kit includes the G-Shape Base for edge-of-table mounting. Fix the base to a table edge with the G-shape clips, attach the robotic arm using the included Lego connectors, and ensure stability before use.
