Elephant 6-Axis Robotics MechArm Pi for Makers Designers
Have you ever dreamed of having a small robot that can do it all? Not the towering machines from sci-fi films, but something compact, smart, and incredibly versatile. We did too—and we brought it to life. Meet the MechArm: the most compact 6-axis robotic arm, perfect for makers, designers, and anyone passionate about creating.
Small But Mighty
Small in size. Giant in potential. The MechArm Pi is a highly compact yet powerful 6-axis robotic arm, engineered for precision, portability, and unlimited creativity. Whether you're a maker, designer, educator, or robotics enthusiast, this is the robot companion you've always imagined.
