Overview
The Ultraarm represents Elephant Robotics' advancement in dual-arm collaborative robotics, designed to handle tasks requiring bimanual coordination and precision manipulation. Built on the success of their myCobot series, the Ultraarm scales up capabilities while maintaining the company's focus on accessibility and ease of programming.
Each arm provides 6 degrees of freedom with a reach of 600mm, enabling a wide workspace for complex manipulation tasks. The system's high repeatability of ±0.03mm makes it suitable for precision assembly, quality inspection, and research applications where accuracy is paramount.
Designed with modularity in mind, the Ultraarm supports multiple end effectors and can be integrated into existing automation workflows through standard communication protocols and comprehensive SDK support. Its collaborative design allows safe human-robot interaction in shared workspaces.
Key Features
- Dual 6-DOF arms: 12 total degrees of freedom for complex bimanual manipulation tasks
- High repeatability: ±0.03mm precision for demanding assembly and inspection work
- 5kg payload per arm: Sufficient capacity for a wide range of industrial and research applications
- ROS compatibility: Native support for Robot Operating System enabling advanced research and development
- Multiple programming interfaces: SDK support for Python, C++, and visual programming environments
- Collaborative design: Safe operation alongside human workers in shared environments
- Flexible communication: Ethernet and WiFi connectivity for seamless integration
Applications
The Ultraarm excels in applications requiring coordinated dual-arm manipulation, including precision assembly operations, component testing and inspection, and complex pick-and-place tasks. Research institutions utilize the platform for studying bimanual manipulation strategies, human-robot collaboration, and advanced control algorithms. Educational facilities leverage its accessibility and comprehensive software support for robotics curriculum development.
In industrial settings, the Ultraarm addresses automation challenges in electronics assembly, laboratory automation, and quality control processes where human-like dexterity and coordination are essential. Its collaborative nature and precision make it particularly well-suited for small-batch production and flexible manufacturing environments.
Technical Highlights
The Ultraarm's standout technical achievement is its combination of high repeatability with dual-arm coordination capabilities at an accessible price point. The ±0.03mm repeatability across both arms enables precision tasks previously limited to single-arm industrial robots, while the synchronized control system allows sophisticated bimanual operations.
Elephant Robotics has integrated comprehensive software support including ROS drivers, making the Ultraarm a powerful research platform. The modular design philosophy extends to end effector compatibility, allowing users to quickly adapt the system for different tasks without extensive reconfiguration. The collaborative safety features meet modern cobot standards while maintaining the precision and speed required for productive automation.
