Mycobot-280-M5 – Desktop-Grade Precision 6-Axis Collaborative Robot
The Elephant Robotics Mycobot-280-M5 is a desktop-grade 6-axis collaborative robot weighing only 850g. It has an effective working radius of 280mm, maximum load of 250g, and repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.5mm. Equipped with a dual-ESP32 core controller (12V DC power), it supports drag teaching for easy trajectory recording and playback. Its base and end feature LEGO Technic interfaces, compatible with over ten end effectors (grippers, suction pumps, vision modules) and combinable with MYA GV chassis for composite robot setups.
Powered by an integrated control system, it enables extensive secondary development. It works with Windows/Linux/MacOS, offers open interfaces for Python/C++/C#/JavaScript (with full API library and sample code), and is deeply adapted to ROS1/ROS2 (supports Moveit path planning and Rviz simulation). It also provides Blockly graphical programming and UIFlow visual development. Communication is via USB Type-C; IO interfaces connect sensors/actuators, and it comes with an interactive CLI tool and low-code framework.
It suits university AI education, robot R&D, maker DIY, and lightweight automation, delivering a high-precision, flexible desktop solution for programming teaching, machine vision, and motion control research.
Highlights
Control Core Configuration: Adopts a "Dual ESP32 Core" architecture. The base uses M5Stack-basic as the main controller (240MHz dual-core, 520KB SRAM, supporting Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth), and the end effector uses M5STACK Atom as the secondary controller, enabling hierarchical control and high-efficiency response.
Cross-Platform & Multi-Language Support: Compatible with full systems including Windows, Linux, Mac OSX, and Android. It opens interfaces for mainstream programming languages such as Python, C++, Arduino, C#, and JS, and provides more than 90+ robot control interfaces, realizing a 1:1 replication of industrial robot development experience
Extreme Lightweight Design: With a self-weight of only 850g, it is one of the world’s smallest and lightest 6-axis collaborative robotic arms. Combined with an effective working radius of 280mm and a repeatability of ±0.5mm, it achieves the dual advantages of "desktop-level size + industrial-level precision".
M5 Version (Mycobot-280-M5): Features a dual-screen + physical button design, with 20 GPIO ports. It focuses on M5 ecosystem expansion and desktop-level interactive development, requiring connection with a PC for use. It is suitable for beginners in embedded development and graphical programming.
