Flexible Joints × Omnidirectional Space

Adopts 360° Rotation Base And Flexible Joints To Create An Omnidirectional Operating Space With A 1-Meter Diameter, Allowing The EoAT To Move Freely In All Directions

Easy To Control Via
Cross-Platform Web Application

No App installation required, access after entering the address. Allows users to connect and control RoArm-M2-S via mobile phones, tablets and computers by clicking the buttons on the Web App. Supports secondary development of this open-source Web App to customize the user interface and add new functions.

Completely Open Source For
Secondary Development

Completely open source for the control codes and communication interface documents of Roarm-M2-S, supports multiple languages and devices for secondary development. Provides modularized demos and tutorials for zero-based users, easy to get started.

Lightweight Body, Excellent Load Capacity

Lightweight Body With A Total Weight Of Less Than 850g, Adopts Carbon Fiber
And 5052 Aluminum Alloy To Ensure Stability Under Heavy Loads,
Suitable For Various Mobile Robot Chassis

Joint Direct-Drive Design
The Feedback Precision Up To 0.088°

The joint angle feedback can be obtained directly via a 12-bit high-precision magnetic encoder without any reduction groups, which is more accurate, and the actual position of the current target point can be calculated based on the joint angle feedback.

Innovative Dual-Drive Technology
Doubles The Shoulder Joint Torque

We Have Developed A Dual-Drive Control Algorithm That Allows The Two Servos At The Shoulder Joint To Coordinate Their Output Torque Effectively, Significantly Enhancing
The Power And The Overall Load Capacity Of RoArm-M2-S

Direct-Drive Clamp Enables Precise
Force Control

The Direct-Drive Clamp Design Allows Precise Control Of The Clamp Force In The Program, Suitable For Clamping Delicate Objects Without Applying Excessive Force

Supports Installing Rubber Bands
To Compensate For The Influence
Of Gravity

The SHOULDER and ELBOW joints support installing the rubber bands to assist the robotic arm, by utilizing the elastic contraction of rubber bands to compensate for the influence of gravity and increase the effective load of the robotic arm.

Dynamic External Force
Adaptive Control

After enabling this function, you can limit the maximum torque for each joint. When the external force applied to the joint exceeds the torque threshold (configurable), the robotic arm will rotate in response to the external force, and will return to the specified position when the external force decreases below the torque threshold.

One-Click Automatic Recording
Easy To Create Actions

RoArm-M2-S can save JSON instructions for robot control as task files. The task files can be saved in the Flash of ESP32, which will not be lost in case of power loss. The robotic arm can perform complex and repetitive operations by calling these task files.

Accurately Reach The Target By Entering The Coordinates

Open source for inverse kinematics control algorithm in the three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. After entering the target position, the robot arm can accurately reach the target point by using the inverse kinematics function to calculate the rotation angle of each joint.

Curve Velocity Control For
Smoother Movement

We Use The Curve Velocity Control Algorithm To Make The Robotic Arm Move Smoother And More Naturally, Without Oscillations During Start And Stop

ESP-NOW Wireless Control
Low-Delay Remote Collaboration

ESP-NOW is a low-delay ad hoc wireless communication protocol, without the need of Network infrastructures. You can use one robotic arm to wirelessly control other robotic arms, and the control methods can be set as broadcast control, group control, and one-to-one control.

* Note: The broadcast control has no limitation for the number of controlled devices, while the group control allows up to 20 devices. Please refer to the WIKI for more details.

Supports Leading-Following Control Mode Based On ESP-NOW

In the Leading-following control mode, the Leader robotic arm will send its joint angle information to other robotic arms via ESP-NOW communication. The other robotic arms which are in ESP-NOW Follower mode will imitate the same actions as the Leader in real time.

Multiple Control Interfaces,
Multiple Devices And Languages Support

RoArm-M2-S can be controlled not only by the WEB application, but also supports using other controllers to send JSON commands via HTTP protocol network request, serial communication, or USB communication for controlling and obtaining feedback.
