Model Selection Guide
Need stronger AI inference performance? Choose the ORIN-AI-Kit Series:
- Options for Jetson Orin Nano Super or Jetson Orin NX Super (Waveshare 8GB kit) to achieve low-latency, high-throughput AI computing.
- The Orin platform offers rich interfaces and powerful computing capabilities, enabling Robotic Arms to perform better in visual recognition, path planning, and real-time feedback, significantly enhancing scalability and intelligence.
Or choose the RoArm-M3-S/Pro-AI-Kit Version if you have a Jetson Orin development board or PC:
- Flexible use with your own controller: The kit includes all necessary accessories except the main control board, allowing direct use with your PC or existing Jetson Orin.
- Cost-effective: Retains full functionality while reducing entry costs for Robotic Arm applications, making development easier and more flexible.
RoArm-M3-S / RoArm-M3-Pro Robotic Arm options. Choose Pro version for higher stability and precision:
- The RoArm-M3-Pro Robotic Arm features a more robust mechanical structure and higher joint precision compared to the RoArm-M3-S version, suitable for industrial or research scenarios requiring repeatability and strong anti-interference capabilities.

RoArm-M3-Pro-AI-Kit
Innovative Dual-Drive Technology Doubles Shoulder Joint Torque
We have developed an innovative dual-drive control algorithm that allows the two servos at the shoulder joint to coordinate their output torque effectively. This significantly enhances the power and overall load capacity of the Waveshare RoArm-M3-S/Pro Robotic Arm.
Direct-Drive Clamp Enables Precise Force Control
The direct-drive clamp design allows precise control of the clamping force in the program, making the Waveshare Robotic Arm RoArm-M3-Pro suitable for clamping delicate objects without applying excessive force.Dynamic External Force Adaptive Control
After enabling this function, you can limit the maximum torque for each joint. When the external force applied exceeds the threshold, the Waveshare Robotic Arm RoArm-M3-S/Pro will rotate in response and return to the specified position once the force decreases. This ensures safe and intelligent interaction.
One-Click Automatic Recording: Easy to Create Actions
The RoArm-M3 Robotic Arm can save JSON instructions for robot control as task files. Stored in the ESP32 Flash, these files are retained even after power loss, enabling complex and repetitive operations with ease.
Accurately Reach the Target by Entering Coordinates
The open-source inverse kinematics algorithm allows the Waveshare RoArm-M3-Pro Robotic Arm to accurately reach target points in a 3D Cartesian coordinate system by calculating the rotation angle of each joint.
