ROBOTIS OpenManipulator-X DYNAMIXEL XM430 (RM-X52-TNM)

The OpenManipulator was developed by ROBOTIS as an add-on module for the Turtlebot3 Waffle Pi. As a result, this robot arm is fully supported by ROS (Robot Operating System) and is therefore predestined for mobile manipulation.
In addition, this robot arm can of course also be used on its own, which is why a corresponding adapter plate (Base Plate-02) can be ordered optionally.

The OpenManipulator is based on DYNAMIXEL servomotors of the X series in combination with the OpenCR1.0 as the control unit. The servomotors that can be used range from the XL430 through the XM430 to the XH430 series, which can be operated at up to 24V when the V series is selected. This means that this robot arm can already be used in small industrial applications.

When using the OpenManipulator independently of the TB3 Waffle Pi, the addition of the so-called ROBOTIS OpenManipulator Stand Alone Kit is recommended. This includes the Base Plate-02 as well as a corresponding power supply.

Turtlebot 3 Waffle Pi

The OpenManipulator was developed not only as a stand-alone device but can also be operated in combination with the Turtlebot 3 Waffle Pi. Of course, the robot arm is open source and the integration is fully documented.
