In the beginning, I was worried that the product would be damaged during transportation. But the packaging kept everything in great shape for shipping. The only disappointing thing is it let me wait a little longer, about 19 days I got it.
The robotic arm was used for a major building project in my Robotics class. This robot uses Python programming. it helps children and grown-ups learn about Science, tech, engineering, and math. What more, the instruction manual was quite easy to follow. I love it!!!

His small robotic arm is easy to assemble and can do many things. Bluetooth is controlled by your mobile phone, and IR is controlled by the remote control. In Bluetooth, you can download their app from the mobile store to control it.
I have experience with arduino starter kits before, and I would definitely recommend it. If you don’t use Arduino beforehand, this is a very good product to help you learn.
In addition to providing Bluetooth control, the myAGV car in the kit also has a remote control, allowing you to choose to install it on the car and use the remote control to move the car. It does include various tutorials and videos, but it can also be developed according to your own needs. Later, I learned that it not only supports arduino, but also supports Python, C++, myblockly, RoboFlow, mystudio, etc.; I think this may be a good one Opportunities, I will learn these and develop

Because I want to learn robotics and programming, I have chosen this robotic arm set for a long time. This is a great product. Because I have no experience, the customer service recommends me to learn to use and download the necessary materials and programs according to gitbook. But when I read gitbook, I found that some of it was in Chinese and was not translated. For me The content is difficult to understand, so I found the customer service again, and she quickly translated the Chinese part for me, and told me which part of the information and software I needed. I can easily learn and download the required materials and Arduino programs. The customer service is very helpful to my problem. I hope this company will continue to work hard.
I am very satisfied, I recommend buying this product! ! !

I bought this as a gift for my grandson at the age of 18. I chose it because it has a complete learning robot tutorial. It became my grandson’s first robot, and he can learn robotics better. I heard that he really likes it. I grew up in the Erector suit, so I think this is an easy and fun way to learn STEM technology. It is reasonably priced, so if he likes it over time, I can be satisfied with other series of products in the future.

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.
