Product Description

Elephant Robotics myCobot 320 M5 is a 6-axis collaborative robotic arm designed for education, research, and light industrial automation. It combines compact dimensions, a friendly price, and surprisingly high functionality, making it suitable for school and university laboratories as well as smaller companies, development sites, and makerspace workshops.

The robot is powered by the M5Stack (ESP32) platform with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, allowing for easy integration into existing systems, remote control, and rapid prototyping. The open ecosystem, support for ROS / MoveIt, visual programming (myBlockly, UIFlow), and direct programming in Python, C++, C#, JavaScript makes the myCobot 320 M5 an ideal tool for those who want real industrial robotics principles in a desktop format.
