PhantomX Pincher Robot Arm Kit

The PhantomX Pincher AX-12 Robot Arm is a 5 degree-of-freedom robotic arm and an easy addition to the TurtleBot ROS robot platform. This hardware kit comes with everything needed to physically assemble and mount the arm as a standalone unit or as an addition to your Turtlebot Robot/mobile platform.

Vanadium Labs has developed an ROS stack that makes communication with the arm a breeze. Want to have your TurtleBot interacting with the environment and picking up small objects in no time? This is the perfect kit for you!
