The AR4 6 axis robot arm uses an Arduino based controller and Python interface.
This video covers the latest updates for software version 8.0 which includes a new virtual robot offline programming functionality.
This 6DOF arm is widely used in educational - STEM programs, industrial tasks, business startups, filming and videography applications as well as the hobby community and robot enthusiasts.

The ROBOMINERS team used the AR4 robot to map hidden minerals in mine walls with a geoelectric sensor mount.
The goal was high-resolution subsurface mapping to guide autonomous drilling robots.
The AR4 holds an electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) sensor in contact with the wall so the team can measure resistivity changes at close range and map deposit boundaries and composition.
Can the AR4 robot weld?
Custom setup. MIG and TIG.
Yes, It made clean automated welds.
The AR4 is cheap, open-source, 3D printed, and aluminum.
I always enjoy seeing what the robotics community has been building with the AR4 robot, so many interesting projects.
If you have any questions about my DIY AR4 6 axis desktop robot, send me a dm.
It's amazing to see how the AR4 robot has been used in universities, colleges, and institutions across the world.
Teachers have been using the AR4 robot to teach programming, kinematics, mechatronics, CAD, and computer vision.
Students build practical skills in 6-axis control, debugging, diagnostics, and safety, skills that transfer directly to Fanuc, ABB, and other industrial robots.
Thank you for everyone who has been a part of my project.
