Dobot

uarm

Dobot is a four axis robotic arm designed for Makers, artists, educators, and scientists. The high quality aluminum frame provides stability and the Arduino-controlled stepper motors provide precision and accuracy.
The arm can be controlled with Bluetooth via a smartphone app or PC. There is a control rig to allow Dobot to follow the motion of your hand, and it can recognize objects via a web camera.

Robot Arm

uarm

A 4-axis parallel-mechanism robot arm, inspired by the ABB PalletPack industrial robot arm. It is made up of laser cut acrylic or wood parts, powered by standard servo motors, and controlled by an Arduino-compatible board. With a parallel-mechanism robot arm, most of the masses concentrate on the base which makes the robot much more stable and allows the upper Arm to react fast.
