Ned2: the accessible collaborative robot that challenges imagination

Ned2 is a 6-axis collaboratif robot arm, based on open source technologies. Designed for educational and research purposes, it can be used to train, teach and learn.
The successor to Ned, Ned2 is more robust. Multiple improvements allow users to go even further in the understanding and use of collaborative robotics: The human-machine interaction has been improved in order to guarantee the clarity of the messages sent by the robot.

Our autonomous robot design

Following the footsteps of Ned, Ned2 is the ideal cobot to meet your diversified needs in terms of prototyping Industry 4.0 applications. Its six axes give it a range of motion that meets the requirements of the industry.

Designed with the same aluminum structure as Ned, Ned2 continues to meet your requirements in terms of robustness, precision (0.5 mm) and repeatability (0.5 mm).

The improvement of the global aesthetics has led us to develop a product with plastic molded covers, thus reducing its net weight and improving its robustness and finishing.

Ned2 is based on Ubuntu 18.04 and ROS Melodic. It also benefits from Raspberry PI 4 capabilities, a 64-bit ARM V8 high performance processor and 4gb RAM.

Silent Stepper Technology: discover a new robot with an improved performance.

Our new servomotors include the Silent Stepper Technology, reducing the noise level of the robot.

An improved Human-Robot interaction+

The innovation of Ned2 lies in the improvement of the robot’s manipulation and attribution experience.

By relying on use cases, our product is redesigned according to the expectations of our users. It fits their needs as much as possible, while facilitating the manipulation of the robot, the understanding of the messages emitted and its operation mode.

The luminous ring located at the base allows to quickly obtain important information emitted by Ned2.

Also, thanks to a sound design adjusted to the different states of the robot, the base of Ned 2 has now two speakers which simplify the understanding of messages.

We have also equipped Ned2 with a control panel located on its wrist. It allows you to manipulate the arm of your robot with a simple press. With one touch you can activate the Freemotion mode, move your robot to the desired location, save its position in Niryo Studio and create your sequences in a very accessible way. To perfectly fit your project needs, you can also program a dedicated button.
