The LeKiwi robotic arm is designed for accessibility, precision, and real-world application in robotics and AI learning environments. It features a 3-wheel Kiwi drive with omni wheels and integrates the SO-ARM100 (SO-ARM101 on or after May 30th) robotic arm, making it a compact yet powerful solution for students, educators, and robotics enthusiasts exploring autonomous robotics.
Filament: PLA+
Configurations:
We offer three configurations based on your power setup and use case:
5V Version: Ideal for beginners and simpler setups. It uses 5V STS3215 servos and is powered by a 65W laptop power bank, making it safer and easier to assemble. The 5V version provides solid performance for lightweight tasks and classroom projects.
12V Version: Suited for more advanced users, this version uses 12V ST3215 servos and runs on a 12V 5A Li-ion battery. It offers higher torque, allowing the robotic arm to lift heavier objects. It’s better for real-world testing and more demanding tasks.
Wired Version: The most budget-friendly option. It does not include a battery and must be powered via a direct wired connection (ideal for lab setups). This version includes only the mobile base—the SO-ARM 100 robotic arm is not included by default but can be added separately.
Full Kit includes all 3D-printed parts, electronics, power supply, and hardware—available assembled or unassembled. 3D Parts Only Kit includes just the 3D-printed mobile base and robotic arm—no electronics or power components.
Choose the Full Kit for a complete build or the 3D Parts Kit if you already have the hardware.
