Source-Robotics/PAROL6-Desktop-robot-arm

BOM, STL files and instructions for PAROL6 3D printed robot arm

What it solves

It provides an open-source design for a high-performance desktop robotic arm that mimics the mechanical design, control software, and usability of industrial robots, making professional-grade robotics accessible for desktop use.

How it works

The project provides the STL files for 3D printing the arm, a Bill of Materials (BOM) for sourcing parts, and comprehensive assembly instructions. It is supported by a suite of open-source tools including a dedicated commander software, a Python API, and ROS2/MoveIt simulation capabilities for control and movement.

Who it’s for

Robotics enthusiasts, makers, and developers who want to build, simulate, or operate a high-performance robotic arm on their desktop.

Highlights

  • Open-source STL files, GUI, and control software.
  • Industrial-inspired mechanical design.
  • Python API and ROS2/MoveIt simulation support.
  • Comprehensive documentation and building instructions provided.
