pyniryo package drives it from a laptop over Wi-Fi or Ethernet with a few lines of Python.Overview
The successor to the Niryo One, an aluminum, education-focused 6-axis arm with swappable tools, an LED status ring and Niryo's own curriculum material. It costs more than Chinese servo arms but has a sturdier aluminum structure. Payload is still small, so it is a teaching tool rather than a production cobot.
