It’s Niryo’s New Ned Robotic Arm. Okay, this is not like the Robotic arm you might have had as a kid. Here’s how Niryo describes it: Discover Ned, our new 6-axis collaborative robot based on open-source technologies designed for Education, Vocational Training and Research. The Niryo One is also used in many Research & Development laboratories to test new uses of collaborative robotics. Now its successor, Ned, has many improvements. Ned is designed to reproduce all the movements required for the most advanced uses with a precision and a repeatability of 0,5mm. Through ROS (Robotic Operating System), Ned has multiple libraries allowing you to conceive many programs from the most simple to the most complex ones, responding then, in a flexible way, to your needs. — From the Giz Wiz: Before you run out to grab one, the company adds this: Ned is a robot primarily made for educational purposes, and testing of small assembly lines. We do not guarantee any precision and robustness over time for your application. MSRP: $4000.00
