Description
Another version
Jetson NANO DOFBOT AI Vision Robotic Arm
This Raspberry Pi robotic arm is mainly composed of an aluminum alloy bracket, a sturdy chassis, a multi-function expansion board, 6 bus servos and a 300,000 pixel camera. We built an operating system specifically for it based on Ubuntu20.04/ROS noetic, using Open Source CV and Python3 programming to create a series of AI vision functions. It can be controlled by APP, PC software, handle, JupyterLab. We provide detailed tutorials, open source codes and technical support services for Raspberry Pi players and AI beginners.

Customer Reviews
Unfortunately, this product does not come with the most important part, the Raspberry PI. This part controls the robot. You will need to spend additional time dollars to purchase this part, depending on where you purchase it. Very disappointed.
This is a great robot that works better than I expected!
There is a great assembly fantasy video that I didn't realize until it was assembled. You can find it in the links on the seller's instructions homepage and footer. In addition, there seem to be some issues with the app downloaded from Google, but technical support gave me a file and I reinstalled the app, everything looks good.
I am deeply impressed by this robot and will definitely recommend it to those who are looking for projects or new toys. Due to its programmability, there are infinite options to modify it to complete various tasks.
I received the Yahboom DOFBOT a few days ago and started putting it together.
The instructions are a little weak for a first time builder, but usable. For the $, they can't be beat.
As I was playing with this kit, I did the color tracking lesson. The code worked perfectly, as did the code for the final.
So far I have not tried the Garbage classification.I plan to purchase 4 trash cans (like in the Yahboom video) I will update when I do.
I bought this project to work with my brother. I had taken a programming course in college and he (16 years old) had no programming experience. This project was easy to put together as the instructions are very well written.
One piece didn't seem to fit, so we contacted support and they got back right away. I couldn't believe the customer service support. The part didn't fit so after some troubleshooting didn't work they sent us a new part.
Not only was this project fun to work on, but my brother and I learned a lot. We kept calling other family members over and showing them all the cool things the robot could do.
We'll probably get another kit from Yahboom because the experience was so good.
Working well. Thanks for Yahboom technical support helped me solve the problem.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
-
What kind of controller is used for the Dofbot? Do we have access to low level control parameters? can we implement a low-level velocity controller by ourselves? Also in some of the videos, I saw that there is minor backlash when the motion stops, any suggestion on how to avoid it or compensate for it? Thank you.
Hello friend,
Thanks for your question.
1. DOFBOT can use Raspebrry Pi and Jetson NANO.
2. Yes. You can access to low level control parameters. You can control the speed of the servo.
3. The slight rebound is due to the force on the arm. You can solve this problem by changing the speed of the servo or increasing the force on the base of the robotic arm. -
I would like to know if there is any possibility of increasing the payload capacity of Dofbot by using a different powerful servo? If such a modification is possible, then what others change are needed to be done, to keep the precision of robot motion and control.
Hello friend,
Thanks for your question.
If you can recruit a suitable servo, the load capacity of DOFBOT can be increased.
But you need to consider whether your new servo can be installed on the aluminum alloy structure of the robotic arm, the current size of our servo is: 44.37*23.06"35.12mm -
So I would like to purchase the Dofbot Pi version. However i would like to know if there is a possibility for extension, 1. Do you supply any vehicle on which the Dofbot can be mounted 2. Does Yahboom provides different varieties of grippers? 3. Does Yahboom provides and if Dofbot-Pi supports other sensors like LidaR, ultrasonic, etc. ? Thank you.
DOFBOT We do not currently reserve these features you described.
According to your description, the Transbot car is more suitable for you. You can check it: https://category.yahboom.net/products/transbot-pi -
I have unboxed the unit. And when I try to calibrate the servos in the app.. I only get a green circle around Servo 1. And nothing else turns green.. what could be the issue ?

In case of DOFBOT without Raspberry PI version , do you provide the microSD card with OS and Spftware that can be directly used if Raspberry PI is prepared ? Or should I prepare the microSD card and install the Linux OS and Software for the DOFBOT ? I wish you provide us with ready installed microSD card for the DOFBOT system.
Hi Friend, sorry for late reply. There are some time difference, so i didn't reply you on time.
The SD card that has been written into the OS system and software file is the standard configuration of this robotic arm kit. Regardless of whether you purchase a package containing the Raspberry Pi board, you will get a SD card that has been written into the OS and software file. You can use it directly.
Sorry again for late reply. -
Is there a detailed description of the expansion board? I have only seen the top level image of the board showing a list of 12 or so components.
Thanks for your question.
You can check this link to get Hardware Interface Manual. Link: http://www.yahboom.net/study/Dofbot-Pi -
If I buy the configuration without the Raspberry Pi (I already own one) would it be possible to connect it to the robotic arm? Also where can I find a guide on how to do it
Hello friend,
If you have Raspberry Pi board, you just need choose with Raspberry Pi version. The kit will contain all the accessories you need, except the Raspberry Pi.
