🤖 What if building your own robot arm costs less than £220?
For years, robotics has been locked behind high prices and complex systems.
So we decided to change that.
Today, we’re open-sourcing Ark-Bot — a fully 3D-printed, 6-DOF robot arm that works seamlessly with our Python robotics library, Ark.
And yes… It’s only £215.86 to build.
🧠ArkBot Specs 🧠
1️⃣ Reach: 1 meter
2️⃣ Weight: 2.6 kg
3️⃣ Payload: 1.8 kg 💪
4️⃣ DOF: 6
5️⃣ Input Voltage: DC 12V
🤟Fully 3D-printable & open-source
🤟Integrated with Ark — no ROS required
📹 We’ve also released a video showing the full assembly process — because robotics should be something everyone can learn, build, and improve on.
👩🎓 With Ark-Bot, anyone — from students to AI researchers — can experiment with embodied AI, robot learning, and control algorithms on real hardware, affordably.
If you could control a 1-meter robot arm from your laptop for under £220…
👉 What would you build first?
