Such a calm and kind person. Wonderful product as well.
Can it handle inverse kinematic operations?
Are there measures in place to avoid the arm colliding with itself, with a predefined environment.
Is it anything more than just a moving sculpture?
you guys missed a golden opportunity to pick up a prop velociraptor egg with that robotic arm
Also, put on a white lab coat - he'll be an ideal stand-in for the Asian scientist guy.
Arms become MUCH more useful when they are designed to change their own end effectors! A good basic demo of it's repeatability would have included it touching a dial indicator several times.
I would ask if the axis before the camera must necessarily be a 360° rotation axis, because it is easy to add image rotation in the video editor.

is it dishwasher safe?
No, but my mom would put it in nonetheless
what kind of 3D software you were used to control the robot motions please let me know it will be very helpful@Adam Savage's Tested.
so smooth
Could you please tell me what type of material you use in manufacturing links?
I love robotic arms and great product (it's such an idealistic looking tool to have especially for a small business owner like myself) but, I want to see this thing operational in a real life simulation with 7 axis. What can this puppy actually do in a production scenario. What are the applications available. I want to see how it is programmed to removed 3D printed parts out of a machine in the middle of the night while everyone is out of the studio for example. Besides the obvious pick and place of pc board parts, you'd need a conveyor part system added. To show a 10k robotic arm lift a coffee cup is like showing a cyclist sitting on a 10k carbon frame what it only could be like?
Can we attach a dslr to it like a GH4? Could be great alternative to the big boys out there.
Excellent 👍
I was just thinking yesterday about arms and wondering is there was a small pro-sumer industrial arm. Still not cheap enough but I'm expecting a miracle I guess. :)
I'm just staring at all the arm's joints, and watching it move, and just being like "......That's not how a human arm works" XD
this is 1st step bt imagine last developing Robotic hand...
good job👍👍👍👏
can you program it by telling it where to move the tool, and have the robot figure out joint movement?
Of course. Inverse kinematics is standard on any robot arm.
Website no longer available lol. HUGE SURPRISE!
Could this handle a small mirrorless camera?
Is it possible to attach a fleshlight to this? I'm... asking for a friend.
William Smith LOL DUDE
Its not fast enough :)
That was probably the point to begin with.
Fleshlight 😂😂😂
Sure, if he wants his junk torn off.
Imagine using this arm on a robot in vr,
Being able to use the vr controllers to move the arm for precision works or for maybe like bomb squad stuff
ROBOT ARMS ARE ALWAYS A WIN!!!
Doc Ock is becoming reality
this type of arm is actually pretty old, there are tentacle like arms in the works.
Grant: "I know these things can cost over $10k, how much is this?"
Tony: "ummmm, less than $10k" lol
How to automate using what the hand guided
this is something you buy if your rich and you want to make your workshop look cool and high tech, but the only thing i actually see it being used for is as a extra hand holding something still while you work on it with 2 hands... if u had a small factory i assume you would spend more for a reliable arm from a reputable company
Not if you a startup, or a business that have some type of repetitive task that.
This is Exquisite. :-D
More Adam.
add a camera and allow people to code apps into it. like cooking, dishwashing, cleaning, etc. oh and let it crawl around your house so it could do other things and clamp itself back when it needs to recharge
Put it on a electric board so it's like the modern day "Roller Bob" (One of Sid's mutant toys in Toy Story)
So can you put a 3d printer or a laser cuter or plasma cutter or router on the tool end?
Hi, currently xArm supports gripper and suction cup, other functions can be developed on ROS/Python/C++
That is way more user friendly to program than many industrial robots.
You've never used a Universal Robot then. You can set up a pick and place on one of those in literally 2 minutes.
Now how am I supposed to recreate Howard Wolfowitz's emergency room visit with that?
Want it
How much is the robot? This is the most important factor whether we can use it or not.
Max head Weight ?
was it just me that thought in the thumbnail it looked like a tube robot dabbing?
Is there any industrial robot arm with payload like 1.5kg under USD 2000? Like Dobot M1, but it cost like 6k USD
what is the purpose
link broken
I just need to practise shaking hands, can I borrow it?
10:18 He says they plan to launch it in Dec 2018..
Their current website says it Ships out in April 2019...
But you still can only PREORDER it.....
I'll be sticking with my UR3 Robots!
we have got these arms in school.
Whoa! Place that in the kitchen to handle hot things on the stove or the oven to take out hot pizza😆mind blown.
*renegade by Styx plays*
Talk about re-inventing the wheel, a slower wheel! I worked with robots for a while, this would take an age to program. Just a pick and place unit really. Low cost entry for someone.
what's the advantage of so many DOFs?
"Small, Medium, and... Bigger"
Great vid
can it move along a straight line?
Yes:)
How long can I put it in the microwave?
not MP Mia but not 150k either.. maybe with a bit more load capacity one could add some camera gear to it
Need an updated review please they have a Lite 6 Coming out in a few month at a much better price point!
Please make sure the video is automatically translated so that it will be subtitles created.
Anyone remember that one big bang theory episode?
Can you program this robot arm to sort out odd laundry socks. If it had dispensable peg fingers it could hang out the laundry too.
How much in Rands
I’d like a camera attachment to take a 3D model of a persons head.
And how do I know if there is not a guy under the table moving the thing???
Backers should already getting their xArms . But got message "Due to our supplier’s problem, we need to replan our shipping plan. "

Software seems super clunky if you need to program individual joint movements. It would be a lot better if you could just move the arm to a position (by physically moving the arm and moving it using software for more precision) and then say "start from this position" and then move it to another position and say "move to this position" and then the software does the actual programming of the required joint movements automatically to make that happen. Of course it needs to allow for more than just two positions, but you get what I mean.
The arm itself looks like it is capable of doing a lot of light stuff, it's the software that seems to be lacking.
Yeah, definitely agree software seems Amateurs.
Best comment ever, not pejorative as most of them.
Totally agree with you that the soft should automatically define all the joints movements from a point A to a point B.
And I can add that we could give a constraint like "keep the end tool (here the gripper) horizontal or in his original point A plan" during the movement.
Doing this only to points availlable should definitly make this arm more useful and professionnal style.
As already said in comments software is the key, and to make this arm easy use with all thoses joints makes it probably more difficult.
I would love to have it operated using Reinforcement Learning :)
i can see this having a 3d printer nozzle for the end effector turning it into a super 3d printer.
A 3d printer with 0.1mm of accuracy sounds like a joke to me
Seems like programming it would be tedious, especially if you wanted it to do more than just a few different tasks. Should try motion capture of a human arm making the needed movements and recombobulate that to the robot arms programming.
Later in the video they show how you can position it by hand, i'd imagine you can then capture the pose vs having to nudge every joint in software
That’s the beauty of ROS. Other folks can make programming systems of all sorts to tell this ‘bot what to do: including motion capture or imitating.
The future looks promising 😎
Great little robot arm , and the price is not that bad either ... 10k...
Needs real world demo. What the hell can I do with it? Pick up my tumblers?
I am the arm, and I sound like this! schwoschwoschwoschwoschwo
ive seen many robotic arms for many different applications.. that being said , this should be sold at Walmart.
I like robotics but how is this any different from the robotic arms we could program in school. I mean we were building lego houses back then.
can it see?
Doubt theyll sell any as they want about the same as a KUKA
Tentacrur!
I was working at Automata Technologies and this looks VERY similar to one of our old concepts! WTF
automata.tech/
Activate your Windows now hahahaha
what?
He says “I wanna introduce you to Tony!...” you say “OMG! It’s the real Tony Stark!”
Congratulations. You invented an arm that has been around for decades.
Not a 7 axis for under $10k using all harmonic gearing.
Let it carve marble statues
I work with robotics in industrial engineering. This robot is slower than frozen molasses.
Yeah even a small fanuc would rip this to shreds in terms of speed and power. From what I gathered, this arm doesn't even have a "world" coordinate option, forcing the user to program each axis individually. For the price it might be a fun little tool for the garage, though.
why would I even want one at home
Limited to 250mm/s max, for sure, possibly less in this case. Any little bot that wants to be used collaboratively will have that limit and a low payload, or other safety devices are required.
Little industrial robots are seriously fun to watch at full speed. Love the sounds they make, too.
Since you work in the industry, I'm sure you're fully aware of the reasons for REQUIRING it to be so slow.
mrvzhao if you mean “safety”, then it’s simply a bad demonstration. They should get out of the shot, and let the robot perform at speed. Or at least show and few tight short, tight, steps, to demonstrate its potential.
Who watched big bang theory episode where howard wolowitz builds arm like this 😉
Someone did presumably
Looks like they got the basics down. Japanese engineered harmonic drives are great step in the right direction. But one of the reasons industrial companies trust the robots built by Fanuc or Kuka or Kawasaki, etc, is because of the after-market support. Do you think this start-up company will be here in 5, 10, 20 years to support their robot and protect your investment? Not only with software updates, but also spare parts, repair services, on-site support, etc? I'd be wary of buying any start-up robots over $3k~$5k. If it were open source, that would be a different story, since you then would have top-to-bottom control over spare parts, firmware updates etc.
With those after-market caveats aside though, the robotic arm industry is ripe for disruption. The price of a GOOD robotic arm is quite expensive. For even a small one with a 0.5kg to 2kg load, you could spend $30k or more easily. Those prices won't hold for much longer with china getting into the game.
China doesn't care about safety and for that reason alone, their robotic market is stagnating in most countries.
Looks like Marshmallow dabing
The site no longer exists.
That's inhumane building and arm too just work and work
Siri, activate gripper. 😰💦
OMG IT'S DUM-E
so many punny possibilities.
need a hand
he's heavily armed
well honestly, this type of robot harm has been around forever .u. any bionic-like arms?
Why is one of the robot arms wearing a hoodie?
opa
10 000$, I thought a robot arm would cost way more.
1:56 Snoooooooooooo *click click clack clock* oooooooooooooo *click click clack clock* ooooooouuup!
7 axis arm for less than $10k? 😯
im number12
he should have done better demo
Just get a KUKA
Now just ask what that KUKA robot cost.
Why would anyone use 7 axis instead of 6 axis?
Reach around things or use the last axis as a mechanical drive for a gripper. It's certainly useful, but there is a price of course, both literal and in robot rigidity, but that's always the case with each extra axis anyway.
The human arm has 4 axis of movement no?
Hmmmm nope, the shoulder has 3 by itself, 1 for the elbow, 3 in the wrist... hope that helps!
BUT CAN IT BEER PONG
Simone used a KUKA Robot Arm - not one of theirs - just sayin ..
Cool but pricey, and did not seem to confident on simultaneous axis movement.
Don't get me rong this robotic arm looks impressive and all but a mechanical engineer that uses in his presentation the catch "phrase seven is two times more than four" doesn't exactly fill me with the worm fuzzy filing of confidence.
lol
I just got my paycheck....
