Dobot Magician Specification
Dobot Magician is a high-precision 4-axis multifunctional desktop robotic arm used in both education and industrial sectors. This compact, lightweight, and affordably priced robot comes packaged with writing and drawing kit, 3-D printer, laser engraver, gripper, and vacuum suction kit.
Equipped with the above-mentioned end tools that can be switched by just a twist, Dobot Magician can perform tasks including 3D printing, laser engraving, write and draw, and pick and move objects.
It is precise, multi-functional and extendable. These features, together with the accessories that is included in the package makes it a cost-effective robot for use in automation of businesses. It is also a great educational tool for every household to help children, and even adults, to develop an interest in artificial intelligence (AI), programming and robotics.
When performing repetitive actions, the precision is at an impressive 0.2mm, maintaining the industrial precision level. One illustration of this precision is the use of Dobot Magician at a mobile phone factory to test touch screen functions of phones. Another case is in the packaging of medicine strips into boxes.
With its feature of memory learning (teach and play) and the drag and drop coding blocks, no programming or coding skill is needed to operate Dobot Magician. On the other hand, an experienced user can use one of many main programming languages to control Dobot Magician.
Because of this flexibility, many educational institutions use the Dobot Magician as the perfect tool for STEAM education, especially in the teaching of Python, Java, and C++ programming. In fact, it supports up to 20 programming languages. It has been used in primary and secondary schools. Renown tertiary educational institutions equipped their AI labs with Dobot Magician for practical training, for example, to illustrate control methods using gestures and voice.
Dobot Magician’s controller software Dobot Studio has integrated many features, and customizable parameters that allows for more flexible control of the robotic arm. It supports secondary development via 13 extensible interfaces. With Dobot’s SDK and API, one can create ones own end-tools with sensors and switches. If the development is outside the scope of SDK, or if one wants to expand it into other platforms like PC, PLC and any other control system to control Dobot, one can use the underlying communication protocol to communicate with Dobot Magician directly, achieving advanced and customized development of application function.
