Description
The Six-axis Robotic Arm with Rectangle Base is a standalone, Raspberry Pi-powered robotic arm engineered for hands-on robotics education, research, and light industrial prototyping. Running an embedded Ubuntu system with integrated ROS support, it offers students, makers, and educators a capable 6-DOF platform for algorithm development without requiring a separate PC.
Standalone Raspberry Pi architecture
Powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core Broadcom BCM2711 processor running an onboard Ubuntu environment, the arm operates completely independently of an external computer. Native connectivity includes two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, dual micro HDMI outputs, and a standard 40-pin GPIO header for connecting peripherals.
Vision and sensor integration
The controller supports camera-driven image recognition algorithms for colour tracking, QR code reading, and gesture recognition. Standard Lego pin mounts and hardware interfaces also accommodate external sensors and voice broadcast units.
Flexible programming environments
Users can program the arm using graphical platforms like myBlockly and Mind+, or develop complex routines with Python, C++, and C#. Native ROS integration under Ubuntu simplifies coordinate mapping and simulation for all six degrees of freedom.
Modular accessories and end effectors
The robotic arm readily connects to various interchangeable accessories such as mechanical grippers, suction pumps, and external displays. This adaptability makes it suitable for diverse application scenarios from smart home setups to scientific experiments.
Six-axis servo motion control
Six high-performance servo motors deliver smooth movement, low inertia, and a repeated positioning accuracy of ±0.5mm across a 280mm working radius with a 250g payload capacity. Lego-compatible connection points at the base and arm tip allow easy physical expansion.
Simple desk-edge clamp installation
The included rectangle base clamps securely to the edge of a table using dedicated rectangle clips. The arm locks into position on the base using Lego connectors to maintain rigidity during operation.
