Dobot Magician

A 4-axis desktop arm from Dobot, built for education and entry-level experiments.

Dobot Magician is the desktop-class robot arm from Shenzhen-based Dobot, with 4 axes, meaning degrees of freedom, or independently rotating joints. Published specs: a 500 g maximum payload, a 320 mm maximum reach, repeatability of about 0.2 mm, and a body weighing about 4 kg. It ships with a gripper, suction cup, and pen as interchangeable end effectors, meaning the tools attached at the arm's tip to do the work, and can do pick-and-place, writing and drawing, laser engraving, and 3D printing, with both graphical programming and interfaces such as Python. Its precision and payload are both limited, so it can't do real industrial work, but its low price and small footprint mean it just sits on a desk, and it is widely used by universities and secondary schools for introductory lessons on robot kinematics, pick-and-place, and vision-based sorting.

ExampleIn a classroom, a Dobot Magician is paired with a camera to recognize different-colored blocks on the table and sort them into matching zones with its suction cup.
