Remote control: Connected by USB to a PC. The official Python API or Commander GUI drives it, so a laptop script can command moves directly.
Overview
A 3D-printed arm deliberately modeled on industrial robots (planetary + belt reductions, teach-pendant-style software) rather than hobby servo arms. Designs, GUI and STL files are open source, so it can be built from the BOM or bought as a kit or assembled unit.
