Elephant Robotics myPalletizer 260 M5Stack (dual-screen version) review

The quick answer

The myPalletizer 260 M5Stack is a four-degree-of-freedom desktop arm built with M5Stack for makers and STEM educators. Its wrapped, safety-minded design and open interfaces support palletizing demos, recognition and grabbing, and drawing or writing tasks.

Why we like it

A low $299 entry price for a four-axis arm
A fully wrapped, fin-less design that is safe and portable
Graphical programming for beginners and open interfaces for object and face recognition
ROS support for simulation and algorithm checks

Before you buy

Four axes limit reach and orientation compared with a six-axis arm
A 250 g payload suits light objects
Resin SLA body is built for desktop learning, not industrial duty

A compact four-axis arm

The myPalletizer is the world’s first fully wrapped four-axis arm according to Elephant Robotics, a fin-less design with safety wrapping that is easy to carry. It weighs 960 g, reaches a 260 mm working radius and carries 250 g.

What you can build

Elephant Robotics suggests intelligent palletizing, recognition and grabbing, writing, drawing and touching, and compound robots that pair the arm with a mobile AGV. Open-source interfaces enable object, face and image recognition.

Start with blocks, grow into ROS

A graphical programming language helps beginners get moving, while ROS support lets you control the arm and verify algorithms in a virtual environment.

Our recommendation

Choose the myPalletizer for a first arm on a budget; step up to a six-axis myCobot if you need more freedom of movement.
