Not what I thought.

Definitely geared towards prototyping and maybe more along the lines of a toy. It does have decent repeatability, but the amount of backlash per joint is less than ideal. From the base to the top of the arm there is at minimum a 1/4 inch of movement when powered on. So giving that it’s about a foot in overall length makes it quite noticeable.

Excelent

It is an excellent product for its price. Although it is educational grade, its performance and scope exceeds expectations for learning objectives. Considering what is on the market, its price and quality are good. It may look like a toy, but for low-demand applications, it is very suitable.

Es un producto excelente para su precio. Si bien es de grado educativo, su desempeño y alcance supera las expectativas para objetivos de aprendizaje. Teniendo en cuenta lo que hay en el mercado, su precio y calidad son buenos. Puede parecer un juguete, pero para aplicaciones de baja exigencia, es muy adecuado.

COMPARISON

Difference

What are the differences between myCobot-M5, myCobot-Pi, myCobot-Jetson Nano, and myCobot for Arduino?

A robotic arm is a type of mechanical arm. It is usually programmable and assembles functions of a human arm. Such anarm is typically connected by joints that allow rotation or translational displacement.

Robotic arms are irreplaceable devices capable of performing a specific task or job quickly, efficiently, and with extreme accuracy in the modern production process. The earliest research on robotic arms dates back to the 1940s when US Argonne and Oak Ridge National Laboratories used remote robotic arms to deal with radioactive materials. After seventy year's development, robotic arms become one of the most common mechanical devices used in cutting, assembling, palletizing, spraying, and other occasions, and in medical surgery, aerospace exploration, military reconnaissance, etc.

myCobot-M5introduced by the year 2020 with M5 Stack Atom & Basic ESP32 with dual display screens, supporting the faster visual operation and monitoring work status, so programming MyCobot-M5 is simple and easy for every user. Based on M5 Stack Atom & Basic ESP32 providing a full range of IoT modules from main controllers, communication modules to the sensors and actuators, Mycobot-M5 is suited for users emphasizing high performance, reliability, and scalability. Practical cases range from studio helpers that can deliver tools to kitchen assistants that can cookcakes. On M5 Stack open platform, users can browse and search for open source hardware, API interface and diverse cooperation forms in a more cost-effective way.

myCobot-Piintroduced with Raspberry Pi 4B with 1.5GHz 4 core CPU, running on Debian/Ubuntu platform. Built-in ROS and blockly visual programming enable Mycobot-Pi to operate with relatively high scalability. It is regarded as the most affordable portable processor. As Raspberry Pi aims to promote basic computer science education in schools with low-cost hardware and free software, users can enjoy a friendly educational community with the help of the Raspberry Pi press and Raspberry Pi foundation. With numerous books for computing gaming and the inspirational community in an easy-to-use platform of Raspberry Pi, this version is suitable for users ranging from beginners who want to learn python or set up a lightweight platform, to STEM educators and institutions for further research.

myCobot-Jetson NanoBased on the Jetson Nano AI board and equipped with a camera, myCobot 280 Jetson Nano is capable of quick image processing, robotic algorithm developments, ROS simulation learning, etc. Being a powerful small artificial intelligence computer, it can be started by simply inserting a microSD card with a system image, which simplifies beginners' development. Besides, the Jetson Nano board includes a higher-performance and more powerful GPU (graphics processing unit), which leads to better outcomes in eye-in-hand robot projects compared with my robot Pi making more advanced R&Dpossible. Combined with Nvidia's powerful SDKs such as Deepstream, Vision AI applications and services, it is an ideal version to deepen AI and robotics learning for developers. This boosts the potential of the myCobot-Jetson Nano's secondary development.

l myCobot for ArduinoCompatible with multiple Arduino or Arduino-like boards and extensions. Arduino software is easy-to-use for beginners, yet flexible enough for advanced users. While most other microcontrollers systems are limited to Windows, the Arduino Software (IDE) runs on cross platforms including Windows, Macintosh OSX, and Linux OS. This version focuses on the integrity of robotic arms and pays more attention to improving the simplicity of research and development of users. With a range of Arduino boards (e.g. MKR WiFi 1010, UNO, Mega 2560, etc ) and extensible software to choose from, developers and designers can make their unique myCobot to meet their demands. As myCobot for Arduino provides a more open clear development environment, developers can even design their boards without necessarily relying on PCB'A (Printed Circuit Board Assembly). Furthermore, for teachers looking to bring some innovation into classrooms, Arduino Education is ready to empower educators with necessary hardware and software tools.
