Elephant Robotics myCobot 280 M5Stack
The world's smallest 6-axis robot arm. Serious about what it can do. Weighing under 1kg and recognised by the IEEE as one of the smallest robot arms on the planet, the myCobot 280 M5Stack packs 6 degrees of freedom into a desktop footprint. Python and ROS ready, compatible with a wide range of end-effectors, and capable of lifting up to 250g, it is built for robotics research, AI education, DIY, and commercial applications without taking over your workspace.
Trusted by Thousands. Used Everywhere. By December 2022, the myCobot 280 had reached more than 50 countries and regions with over 10,000 units sold, making it one of the most widely adopted desktop robot arms in education and research globally.
Pick it up. Put it anywhere. Start building. Portable enough to move between classrooms, labs, and desks, the myCobot 280 lets users of any experience level create learning tasks and run reliable operations like engraving, drawing, and writing within a defined workspace.
Built for Builders and Researchers Alike. The myCobot 280 supports a wide range of control methods and delivers reliable pick, transport, and precise placement performance across the variety of tasks that makers and research teams actually encounter day to day.
Anyone Can Drive It. Intuitive slider controls make operating the myCobot 280 straightforward from the first session, whether you have never touched a robot arm before or you have been working with them for years.
For Developers Who Need More. MoveIt integration brings full path planning and obstacle avoidance capabilities to the myCobot 280, giving advanced users the tools to build sophisticated robotics applications without limitations.
Add Vision. Add Intelligence. Pair the myCobot 280 with the AI Kit to explore machine vision and arm coordination, opening up object recognition and grasping tasks for anyone ready to push further into applied AI and robotics.
Put the Arm on Wheels. Pair the myCobot 280 with the myAGV mobile chassis and it becomes a fully mobile manipulation platform, supporting 2D and 3D mapping, ROS simulation, graphical programming, visual software integration, and gamepad or keyboard control for research, education, and maker projects.
myStudio — One Platform for Everything. Firmware updates, video tutorials, and maintenance and repair information all in one place, keeping your myCobot 280 up to date and running smoothly from first use through the full product lifecycle.
