Overview
Ned2 is a 6-axis educational desktop robotic arm designed for teaching robotics from basics to advanced levels. It features a sturdy metal chassis, a 300g payload, 490mm reach, and ±0.5mm repeatability. The robot supports multiple programming interfaces including Blockly, Python, ROS, ROS 2, MATLAB, and integrates with TensorFlow, OpenCV, and NVIDIA for AI and computer vision education. It comes with a plug-and-play magnetic tool changer, silent stepper motors, and an ergonomic control panel with a freemotion button. Includes a 1-year warranty and is backed by Niryo's educational ecosystem: NiryoStudio (no-code programming), NiryoAcademy (turnkey educational content), and Niryo Success support.
