The Case for 750g: When Payload Capacity Defines Your Research
Most tabletop manipulation tasks in academic robotics fall below 250g. But a meaningful category of real-world research does not. Tool use, container handling, multi-component assembly, and object-in-hand manipulation with heavier everyday items all require payload capacity that lighter arms simply cannot deliver. The ViperX 300 S was built for exactly this category. At 750g payload capacity — three times that of the WidowX 250 S — the ViperX 300 S extends the range of objects and tasks a researcher can work with without switching platforms. Its 750mm reach and 1500mm tip-to-tip span make it the largest arm in the Trossen X-Series, giving it access to a wider working envelope than any other arm in the lineup. For labs studying manipulation of tools, kitchen objects, industrial components, or any task where the target object weighs more than a standard research gripper payload allows, the ViperX 300 S removes a constraint that would otherwise require custom hardware or a more expensive industrial solution.
Custom 3D Printed
End-Effectors
The X-Series gripper carriages are designed for users to quickly and easily change the gripper fingers for different projects. CAD files for the gripper are available for download, if you can design it and 3D print the customization is endless. Included with the arm are sticker backed foam to increase gripping strength while relieving stress on the gripper servo.
Easily Repairable
The X-Series arms are made for the lab, our arms are intended to be worked on and we've made it as easy as possible to keep your manipulator up and running. Quickly and easily swap out motors that need to be replaced, lengthen or shorten the arm to your needs. Everything you need to repair your platform is kept in stock, making it easy to keep your equipment up and running with minimal downtime.
ROS 2 Support
Packages for ROS and ROS 2 make it easy to get started with the arm. These packages include full meshes and URDFs (including accurate inertial models for the links), a driver node to control the physical robot arm and publish joint states, as well as simulation (Gazebo) and motion planning (MoveIt) support. Several example packages are also included to demonstrate the potential uses of the core packages.
MoveIt Support
MoveIt is the most widely used software for manipulation and has been used on over 150 robots. It is released under the terms of the BSD license, and thus free for industrial, commercial, and research use. By incorporating the latest advances in motion planning, manipulation, 3D perception, kinematics, control and navigation, MoveIt is state of the art software for mobile manipulation.
Gazebo Support
Robot simulation is an essential tool in every roboticist's toolbox. A well-designed simulator makes it possible to rapidly test algorithms, design robots, perform regression testing, and train AI system using realistic scenarios. Gazebo offers the ability to accurately and efficiently simulate populations of robots in complex indoor and outdoor environments. At your fingertips is a robust physics engine, high-quality graphics, and convenient programmatic and graphical interfaces. Best of all, Gazebo is free with a vibrant community.

Why aren't standard X-Series Arms Aloha Compatible?
Since the DIY version of Aloha, a.k.a. Aloha V1, the hardware and software package has changed significantly. Therefore, only the Aloha V2-specific arms will be compatible going forward. Standard X-Series arms should only be used for non-Aloha-related research and testing. Please submit a customer support ticket if you have any further questions about Aloha compatibility.
