Robotic Arm with Arduino 5DOF/Axis AI Smart Robot Arm Open Source STEM Educational Building Robotics & Engineering Kits, Science/Coding/Programming Set, miniArm Standard Kit

A great product for beginners level with interest in robotics, automation, or mechanical electrical. I work in the robotics industry and purchased this as an additional engagement piece to present at an elementary career day (ages 5-11 years old). Students loved it and got excited even with the minor movements of the arm and claw. It was definitely affordable and well built for it's price point. I was able to get it assembled and get concept of the simple manual control knobs in a few hours. Have yet to do the programming process, but imagine it should be simple as well. Whether just a simple toy to gain interest or looking to get some medium depth knowledge of robotics and programming, I would definitely recommend this product.

I recently purchased a Hiwonder miniarm robotic arm. I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality and engineering. When you see the name Hiwonder you can be sure of the highest quality and great customer service.

Couldn’t get it to work with Arduino, even though they stated it’s open coding and specifically works with arduino.

The kit's hardware has an excellent quality.All the parts are well made, robust and have a great finish. I was really pleased and surprised with the quality of the hardware.The software works very well, is easy to operate and very interesting.However, unfortunately, the tutorials explaining how the software works are extremely weak and lacking in detail.The explanations are extremely superficial, making the kit completely inappropriate for anyone who does not have advanced knowledge of Arduino programming.This goes against the educational purpose of the kit, which is to use an open source program to provide learning.It is a shame that this happens with this type of kit.I had the same problem with another chinese kit.I have intermediate knowledge of Arduino programming and I am having great difficulty deciphering and understanding how the programs in this kit work.It is a shame, because it is truly a high-quality product, but if you want to learn programming, this kit is not for you.It is a product for advanced programmers and developers with a lot of experience.The manufacturer could dedicate more time and attention to tutorials explaining the programming lines, how the functions work, the techniques used, etc., so that the user can develop their skills.That's my opinion.

The media could not be loaded. It’s a fantastic hands-on tool for learning programming, robotics, and engineering concepts. The 5DOF design and Arduino compatibility make it perfect for beginners and experienced hobbyists. The open-source software and comprehensive tutorials are a huge plus, allowing endless customizations. I’m using it as a teaching kit in my middle school robotics class, and the students love it! They use it to learn how robotic arms work, and it’s sparked so much curiosity and creativity. Highly recommended for STEM educators!

I've been a fan since my last robot car purchase, and the miniArm is just as great!!! It's easy to assemble and very cool to play with. It uses Arduino and can be controlled with an app, so it's perfect for my project! Customer service is also really good. They reply back pretty fast and are very patient!

Too easy

Good hardware. Software not so much.I've spent a whole day fighting software issues with this thing and the camera. If you just wanna tinker a bit its perfect but if you're trying to learn to write software for autonomous functions or even get the autonomous functions to work properly be ready for a very UNFAIR challenge.
