We are dedicated to designing and producing high-tech, high-quality programming robots and peripheral products. Continuously testing & updating, making each item and technology the most conscientious. To make programming, robotics and AI accessible to all, we provide abundant learning resources, source codes, software, and online support! We provide pre and after services. Choose us and shop with peace of mind! miniArm is an open-source robotic arm for beginners. Built upon Atmega328 and compatible with Arduino, it boasts a 6-channel knob controller, Bluetooth module, high-precision digital servos, and all high-performance hardware, with secondary development interfaces for sensor expansions. Compatible with Arduino hardware interfaces and Arduino IDE. Open-source code with detailed comments is provided for your development. Control robotic arm joint movements quickly through the knob potentiometer, immersing yourself in the seamless operation of the robotic arm. Take command of miniArm effortlessly through app, allowing you to execute desired actions with the tap of a button or the swipe of a slider. Record robotic arm motions swiftly using the knob potentiometer and buttons. This feature allows offline motion editing and operation. Built-in stall protection algorithm ensures the servo won't burn out due to blockage or collision, significantly extending its lifespan. miniArm can be expanded with the ESP32Cam module to unlock most creative vision applications. Noted: ESP32Cam Only Included in Standard Kit. miniArm expansion board loads a Bluetooth interface for integration with Bluetooth module. This feature will be helpful for your project development. Expand the capabilities of miniArm with avariety of sensors and unlock endless possibilities for your project. You can position obstacles in front of the glowing ultrasonic module of miniArm and then move the obstacle toward miniArm. The robot will respond differently, and its RGB light will change based on the distance from the obstacle. (Noted: Glowing ultrasonic sensor Only Included in Standard Kit.) Utilize an acceleration sensor to detect the pose, which in turn regulates the gripping and placing actions of the robotic arm. (Noted: Acceleration sensor Only Included in Standard Kit.) When the glowing ultrasonic module of miniArm detects an object, the buzzer on the expansion board will emit a sound, and RGB light turn green. Then, you can place a ball in the center of the robotic arm, prompting the robot to grasp the ball and initiate rotation to the left side to release it. You can activate the miniArm, turn it on and start controlling it by touching the touch sensor's metal plate. Touch the robotic arm to pick up and place the block. At the same time, you can also control the color change of the RGB light.

  • A Fantastic Learning & Hobby Engineering Product
Edition: Starter Kit
I’ve been working with the Robotic Arm, and I absolutely love it. The build quality is solid, the servos are very accurate and responsive, and the programming options make it a great platform for both beginners and hobby engineers who want to dive deeper into robotics. Setup is straightforward, and it’s easy to expand with custom add‑ons. For example, I added a 4x20 LCD display using the SCL and SDA pins. Just a tip for fellow builders: be careful with A4 & A5, since those are tied to I²C — it works beautifully once you map it correctly. To give others a head start, here’s the hardware I/O map for my configuration: Uno 6CH Knob Shield V1.1 I/O Map (included with the base kit): Gripper Servo(0): Pin 7 Wrist Servo(1): Pin 6 Elbow Servo(2): Pin 5 Shoulder Servo(3): Pin 4 Base Servo(4): Pin 3 Aux Servo(5) (added): Pin 2 Red Pushbutton: Pin 8 Yellow Pushbutton: Pin 9 Open: Pin 10 Small Buzzer: Pin 11 Open: Pin 12 Smart LED: Pin 13 Pot 0: Ain0 Pot 1: Ain1 Pot 2: Ain2 Pot 3: Ain3 Pot 4: Ain4 (SDA/I²C data overrides analog input) Pot 5: Ain5 (SCL/I²C clock overrides analog input) LCD 4x20: SCL & SDA (added LCD // note uses same pins A4 & A5) The included tutorials and software make it easy to get started, but there’s plenty of room to customize. If you’re looking for a robot arm that balances affordability, functionality, and fun, this is a fantastic choice. It’s not a gadget; it’s a hands‑on learning tool that sparks creativity and problem‑solving. Highly recommended for anyone curious about robotics and Arduino Uno programming. ... show more

  • Even Better Than Expected!!!
Edition: Starter Kit
I've been a fan since my last robot car purchase, and the miniArm is just as great!!! It's easy to assemble and very cool to play with. It uses Arduino and can be controlled with an app, so it's perfect for my project! Customer service is also really good. They reply back pretty fast and are very patient! ... show more

  • Beginner to moderate experience
Edition: Starter Kit
A great product for beginners level with interest in robotics, automation, or mechanical electrical. I work in the robotics industry and purchased this as an additional engagement piece to present at an elementary career day (ages 5-11 years old). Students loved it and got excited even with the minor movements of the arm and claw. It was definitely affordable and well built for it's price point. I was able to get it assembled and get concept of the simple manual control knobs in a few hours. Have yet to do the programming process, but imagine it should be simple as well. Whether just a simple toy to gain interest or looking to get some medium depth knowledge of robotics and programming, I would definitely recommend this product. ... show more
