editor — Thu, 28 Dec 2023 10:56:22 +0000

The review in “The MagPi” magazine focuses on the MyCobot 280 Pi, a robotic arm powered by Raspberry Pi 4. It features six degrees of freedom, a 330° rotation range, and a 280 mm radius. The arm is compatible with LEGO interfaces and includes various connectivity options like USB, Ethernet, and GPIO breakout headers. It comes with a pre-installed Ubuntu MATE and supports programming through Python and myBlockly. The robot arm is versatile, with accessories like a gripper and pen holder, and is praised for its robustness, stylish design, and precision, despite its relatively high cost.

myCobot Pro 600 Raspberry Pi 4-based robot arm supports 600mm working range, up to 2kg payload

editor — Thu, 10 Aug 2023 10:40:00 +0000

Elephant Robotics has launched its most advanced 6 DoF robot arm so far with the myCobot Pro 600 equipped with a Raspberry Pi 4 SBC, offering a maximum 600mm working range and support for up to 2kg payloads.

We’ve covered Elephant Robotics’ myCobot robotic arms based on Raspberry Pi 4, ESP32, Jetson Nano, or Arduino previously, even reviewed the myCobot 280 Pi using both Python and visual programming, and the new Raspberry Pi 4-based myCobot Pro 600 provides about the same features but its much larger design enables it to be used on larger areas and handles heavier objects.

Elephant Robotics myCobot 280 Robotic Arm review – A cool robotic arm that costs an arm (and a leg)!

editor — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 10:34:00 +0000

In my ongoing quest for a robotic companion to reside on my desk, I have found few worthy contenders. While the ClicBot (reviewed in June 2022) and the Petoi Bittle (reviewed in November 2022) came close, neither of them quite fit the bill. Taking my search to the next level, I have been sharing my workspace with the Elephant Robotics myCobot 280. The myCobot 280 is a significant step up in both complexity and functionality from the bots I’ve tried before, which is clearly reflected in its price. The myCobot 280 kit that I reviewed costs $638, and additional accessories range from $100 to $1000. With that significant increase in price, though, comes a big jump in what’s possible with this amazing, albeit complex, robotic arm.
