Yahboom Robotic Arm Raspberry Pi5 Robot Kit AI Hand Building with Camera 6-DOF Programmable AI Electronic DIY Robot for Adults ROS Open CV Source (without Pi5)

I was very skeptical ordering this. It's actually very well made and easy to set up. Works with little technical knowledge required and works quickly. Only an hour yo set up

Utilissimo per lo studio e la ricerca su elementi di robotica. L'uso è consigliato anche a piccoli studenti che si affacciano con curiosità a questo tipo di tecnologia. Si gioca ma nello stesso tempo si impara anche ad alto livello la programmazione. L'oggetto è costruito con materiali di qualità, resistente all'uso e agli errori di programmazione! :)

(Raspberry Pi 5 version) Plus: Easy to assemble and everything works. Online resources are available. Strong community. Minus: Smaller and weaker than expected, Camera is poor. Pad is made of paper and is not rigid which makes picking up blocks more difficult - a plastic mat would have been better. Some built in apps failed to work (ex: face tracking, colour tracking) or did not include clear instructions to make them work. Picking up bricks consistently failed due to the poor design of the gripper tip and the paper used for the pad. There is no real indication of how system can be extended even though this would mean more sales (their website lists accessories of all type but nothing about applicability to this arm). Not very user friendly overall in terms of hand holding, but maybe the target audience is expected to be very tech savvy already, which is understandable I guess. Overall: Good as a learning tool, but not useful for any practical application, as its too weak and too small to do much.

I can say that the delivery of the product was faster than the rest of the ordered products. Also, the assistance from the seller was exceptional. I think it is a very flexible tool to practice your programming skills or to learn. The quality of the materials is premium, the servos move well, you find more than you need in the box (I mean accessories). It takes a little time to set it up.

Kit pre-assemblato, fatto veramente bene. Le parti in metallo ed i motori con molta coppia lo rendono solido e adatto anche per delle "prese" generalmente difficili per bracci robot di questa fascia di prezzo. Ho preso la versione RPI perchè avevo già una RPI 4 8GB, ma temo che la versione Jetson Nano funzioni molto meglio per gli esempi di riconoscimento facciale / colori e per tutta la parte di AI in generale. Spero che questo Kit venga presto aggiornato da Yahboom per supportare altri sensori, esempio una telecamera 3D, o un sensore Lidar, perchè al momento questa versione RPI, solo con camera HD mi sembra un po' limitata e forse sprecata.

Overall, I’m not very satisfied. Here are some issues I’ve encountered: App Very basic and underdeveloped. It has a lot of room for improvement and seems to have been created with a minimal budget, probably around $10. Functions • Gesture Interaction When activating Gesture Interaction and pressing Switch, the camera image freezes on the last captured frame. As a result, the system cannot detect hand movements because the image remains static and does not update. • Tracking Game It struggles to distinguish the colored object from the background and often fails to follow it correctly. I calibrated the colors multiple times, but the issue persists. • Face Tracking Not very precise. The face tracking is not as smooth as shown in the promotional videos. The system frequently malfunctions and sometimes looks for the face in the wrong direction, even pointing toward the sky. Final Thoughts I haven’t tested the functions I programmed myself yet, but I will provide feedback on those as well. • Material quality: Excellent. • Price: A bit expensive for its performance. A more reasonable price would be around $250.
