Niryo Collaborative Robot Arms

Developed by the French robotics company Niryo, the collaborative robot arms feature six axes of movement and are designed to be programmed and operated by users with varying levels of technical experience. The product range includes the NR series, which is positioned for both educational institutions and industrial markets.

The arms can be controlled through multiple programming interfaces and are typically used to teach concepts such as robotic kinematics, pick-and-place operations, computer vision integration, and industrial automation workflows. In educational contexts, the robots are used within STEM and robotics courses at secondary, further, and higher education levels, as well as in vocational training programmes.

They support a range of programming methods including block-based interfaces for beginners and Python scripting for more advanced users. The arms are designed to operate alongside humans without the need for safety enclosures in many configurations, allowing them to be deployed in classroom and laboratory environments.

Accessories such as grippers, vacuum pumps, vision sets, and conveyor belts can be added to extend the range of practical exercises and projects that can be undertaken.
