Niryo Ned: a cobot designed for teaching and rapid prototyping<\/h2>\n

Niryo Ned arm is a 6-axis collaborative robot <\/strong> designed for education (engineering schools, vocational training establishments, training centres, etc.) and for research laboratories. Niryo lets students take on Industry 4.0 challenges at an early stage in their education.<\/p>\n

Niryo Ned is ideal for reproducing and imagining industrial use cases without blowing the budgets of educational institutions <\/strong> .<\/p>\n

\"Imagine<\/figure>\n

This robot arm has an embedded Raspberry Pi <\/strong> , Dynamixel <\/strong> motors, Arduino <\/strong> components and runs under ROS Melodic <\/strong> (ROS libraries are available online to help you design lots of simple and complex programs).<\/p>\n

Ned: an enhanced Niryo One<\/h2>\n

With Niryo One, Niryo released a robot arm that met market needs. Niryo Ned <\/a> <\/strong> is the 2nd version of this educational robot, a simple-to-use, robust and efficient <\/strong> cobot designed for learning.<\/p>\n

Its aluminium structure <\/strong> offers better repeatability <\/strong> and precision than its predecessor. Ned is designed to reproduce all the most advanced Industry 4.0 movements.<\/p>\n

It is built on a Raspberry Pi 4, so it also has more computing power <\/strong> for meeting the most recent industrial IoT and AI challenges.<\/p>\n
