Elephant Robotics myCobot 320 M5 - 6-Axis Collaborative Robotic Arm

Elephant Robotics myCobot 320 M5 - 6-Axis collaborative robotic arm is a collaborative arm with 6 axes (6 DOF), designed for education, research and light automation.

It lifts up to 1 kg, has a working radius of 350 mm and a repeatability of ±0.5 mm.

Robotics: myCobot 320 M5 can be controlled in joint or Cartesian coordinates, or by recording trajectories by hand. It reaches 160°/s per joint and features built-in forward and inverse kinematics. Its 12 I/O ports at 24V and

MODBUS and TCP/IP protocols connect it to sensors, PLCs and other automation equipment.

AI and vision: through its open interfaces you can add cameras and algorithms for object, face or gesture recognition. This lets you build sorting, vision-guided grasping and machine learning applications.

STEAM and programming: beginners start with graphical programming in myBlockly and UIFlow. Advanced users work in Python, C++, C#, JavaScript, Arduino or ROS, with virtual simulation before running on the robot.

The M5Stack controller (ESP32) has a built-in screen and buttons, and the emergency stop is included in the package.

The arm is part of the myCobot range, dedicated to educational and research robotics.
