Product Description
The myCobot 280 for Arduino is a compact 6-axis collaborative robotic arm designed for Arduino-based development and education. Powered by an M5Stack-ATOM (ESP32) as its main controller, it supports a wide range of Arduino development boards including the MKR WiFi 1010, MEGA2560, and UNO, making it an ideal platform for embedded systems learning and prototyping.
Weighing just 850 g with a 280 mm reach, this lightweight desktop robot arm delivers smooth, precise motion across all six joints. Its open-source architecture and compatibility with multiple programming environments — including Arduino IDE, Python, and ROS — make it highly versatile for both beginners and experienced developers.
The myCobot 280 for Arduino supports a variety of end-effectors and accessories, enabling applications in pick-and-place, writing, drawing, and other automation tasks. It is widely used in university labs, STEM education, and research environments around the world.
With built-in serial communication between the ESP32 and the Arduino host board, users can easily send motion commands and read sensor data, enabling rapid development of custom robotic applications without complex setup.
