Elephant Robotics has launched its most advanced 6 DoF robot arm so far with the myCobot Pro 600 equipped with a Raspberry Pi 4 SBC, offering a maximum 600mm working range and support for up to 2kg payloads.
We’ve covered Elephant Robotics’ myCobot robotic arms based on Raspberry Pi 4, ESP32, Jetson Nano, or Arduino previously, even reviewed the myCobot 280 Pi using both Python and visual programming, and the new Raspberry Pi 4-based myCobot Pro 600 provides about the same features but its much larger design enables it to be used on larger areas and handles heavier objects.
The robot arm can be programmed from a host running Windows, Linux, or Mac OS with ROS1, Python, or C++ programming, and support for RoboFlow visual development software, while myStudio can be used to upgrade the firmware. Documentation can be found on the Elephant Robotics website and some of the tools are available on GitHub.
myCobot Pro 600 joins a longish list of robot arms from the company as shown in the comparison table below.
The wider working range and larger maximum payload does come at a cost that’s not exactly linear with the myCobot Pro 600 robot going for about $7,000 or almost nine times more expensive than the 280mm working range/250 grams payload version that we previously reviewed. It’s probably better suited to commercial applications than to education since it does not have that many extra features over the cheaper version just beefier specs.
