Hebi Robotics ROS robotic arm: ready to assemble and use
Hebi Robotics developed this robotic arm kit for researchers and teachers looking for a fast and efficient robotics solution. The 4-DoF ROS robotic arm is easy to assemble and comes with a teaching aid for programming, studying robotic movement and designing automated systems. The arm is articulated in 4 places: at the base, shoulder, elbow and wrist. These articulations offer you different angles and angular velocities, for a maximum reach of 65 cm.
The Hebi Robotics 4-DoF robotic arm can support a continuous load of 1 kg. You can install your chosen effector at its extremity, for example a robotic gripper or tool. There's also a complete range of accessories, available from the manufacturer's website, that can make using and operating your arm even easier.
Three types of Hebi Robotics actuator
The kit comes with 3 different actuators. More than just servos, they incorporate a complete system and a wide range of sensors for customising your user experience.
Each high-performance servo includes the following:
Brushless motor
Gear
Spring
Encoders and electronic components that can operate over a wide voltage range
The embedded sensors give you precise control over speed, torque, position and many other parameters (temperature, voltage, power, etc.).
Safety control, standard Ethernet communication – everything is designed to ensure the actuator will fit into any project, from the simplest to the most complex.

HEBI robot arm integration with another robotic platfom
HEBI Robotics robot arms can be set up on top of a Jackal mobile robot, with a ROS integration. Here are the ROS tutorials published by HEBI to help you with the integration:
