Die chinesische Firma?Elephant Robotics?mit Sitz in Shenzhen hat mit dem “myCobot Pi” den weltweit kleinsten Raspberry Pi Roboterarm entwickelt. Dieser wird in Kollaboration mit M5Stack produziert, um ihn weltweit zu vertreiben.

Elephant Robotics’ MyCobot robotic arm was introduced last year with?M5Stack Atom?& Basic ESP32 modules with 6-degrees of freedom, a 250 grams max payload, available now for $599. The company has launched a new $699? version – MyCobot-Pi – with most of the same features, except for an upgrade to Raspberry Pi 4B which offers more performance and flexibility.

Elephant Robotics’ $699, 850-gram “MyCobot Pi” is a six-axis manipulation bot that runs Debian and ROS on a RPi 4B. The bot has a 250 g payload, 280mm range, and a LEGO connector for attachments including a suction pump and gripper.

今回発売するmyCobot 280は、同社主力製品と同様である6軸の可動域を持つ。ROS（Robot Operating System）にも対応し、小型／軽量化した學習用ロボットとして開発したモデルだ。制御用マイコンにはM5Stackシリーズを採用している。

The word “robotic arm” normally conjures up images of huge devices used in auto plants or on space shuttles. While there are many types of robotic arms used in a myriad of industries, there has never been one as small and portable as the 850g?myCobot?– the world’s smallest collaborative robotic arm. And now, the robot has launched a new version that uses Raspberry Pi.?

スイッチサイエンスは5月25日、中國深センの産業用ロボットメーカーElephant Robotics（エレファント?ロボティクス）が開発した低価格なロボットアーム「myCobot」の発売を國內で初めて開始したと発表した。

The Chinese robot manufacturer “Elephant Robotics” is now offering the “myCobot” model at a bargain price of just €476. For this suspiciously low price, you get a visually appealing mini-robot.

There’s a growing fear that artificial intelligence combined with?robotics?will displace the value of humans in many contexts. But could these trends also apply to our traditional four-legged canine and feline companions? After its splash at CES 2020, I had an opportunity to get up close this week with two prototypes of the MarsCat robot developed by Elephant Robotics.

Elephant Robotics‘ MyAGV autonomous ground vehicle is a robotics platform that can move with the help of advanced sensors and a Pi 4.

The company’s myCobot series now features payloads from 250 g to 2 kg
