Overview
Build your own advanced robot arm with the 6 DOF Robotic Arm Kit from XYZrobot (the arm itself has five degrees of freedom, and there is a sixth servo for operating the gripper)! It features six smart servos, each with 330° of effective position control, that allow it to perform a wide range of complex movements while lifting payloads up to 700 g (1.5 lb). Assembly is quick and requires no soldering.
Note: While the standard version of this kit includes a lithium battery and charger, the version XYZrobot makes for us has this battery and charger removed to eliminate the many battery-related restrictions on how we can ship this product to our customers. The kit includes a 12V, 5A power adapter (pictured below) with a removable cord that has a US-style plug.

The arm movements can be configured with the free XYZrobot motion editor software, and they can be triggered using the four buttons in the base of the arm, by a smartphone or tablet running the XYZrobot app, or by a bluetooth controller like the one included with the Bolide Y-01 humanoid robot.

The XYZrobot 6 DOF Robotic Arm can be configured using the free XYZ motion editor software or programmed through the Arduino IDE. |

The arm also features an Arduino-compatible ATmega1280 microcontroller, so you can integrate your own sensors and program it to have new and interactive or autonomous behaviors.

What really makes this arm special compared to other arms based on standard hobby servos is its six A1-16 smart servos, which can produce up to 25 kg-cm of torque at 12 V. These highly configurable servos can be daisy-chained on a single bus and transmit temperature, speed, and position data back to the controller. Each servo include a four-color LED for displaying the servo’s status.
