Dobot Magician Robotic Arm (for education) - without laser module

Dobot Magician: a quite frankly magical robotic arm for education

The educational version of the Dobot Magician is a robotic arm designed solely for higher education establishments, including engineering schools and university institutes of technology – or even upper sixth form students studying the sciences and industrial science and technology.

This robotic arm with 4 degrees of freedom is capable of a lot. Simply remove and change its tools as you see fit to use Dobot Magician a 3D printer, an industrial design and writing tool,  a gripper and more. There’s even a small suction cup for picking up tiny objects!

This robotic arm developed for scientific disciplines is delivered ready for installation. It offers a multitude of possibilities from the outset, including a WiFi module, a Bluetooth module and an offline mode. Moreover, you get 10 configurable inputs/outputs, 4 controllable 12V outputs and numerous communication interfaces. Simply help yourself!

Warning!

The Dobot Magician Education version normally comes with a laser engraving module. Although this module is CE certified, the robot does not have an automatic or emergency laser shutdown system, which can be hazardous.

In addition, legislation about laser devices varies significantly from one country to another (in some countries, selling this type of equipment is forbidden).

In order to offer a product that does not present a risk for the user and complies with the legislation in force, Generation Robots has chosen to remove the laser module from the Dobot Magician Education robotics kit. A 50€ discount now applies on this product.

There are also lots of accessories you can use with this educational version, including a linear rail and conveyor belt.

As if by magic: an exciting programming environment!

The Dobot Magician robotic arm comes with an ideal programming environment for students. Not only does it have dedicated software – DobotStudio – which already includes a host of control parameters, but there’s also a Blockly robotic arm visual programming editor for those new to programming.

This robotic arm comes with Repetier-Host, a full library of codes, a Scratch (Blockly) type tool to develop your robotic arm and other additional bonuses for further improving an environment already rich in possibilities.

The software and apps that come with this robotic arm for education do most of the work for you, allowing you to control it to the nearest millimetre from your computer (Mac or Windows), tablet or smartphone. You can even develop voice and gesture commands by connecting it to the Leap Motion interface for example.
