Overview

A 3D-printed, open-source 6-axis arm from Lille that raised €80,756 from 153 backers on Kickstarter in 2017. It proved there was a market for affordable ROS arms in education and led to Niryo's Ned and Ned2. Niryo has since moved on to Ned2, but the ROS stack and STL files remain on GitHub and used units turn up occasionally.
