Hi, I can change the suction nozzle for a claw, is there an example of how to use the claw? Thanks.
The end effector can be replaced, but MaxArm does not offer specific examples for doing so, meaning you will need to explore and handle the process yourself.

I want to test for ocr detection and object detection, will it fully help me or not. if i take Starter kit, will there be available for camera setup in board. so please guide I want to mpurchase it.
Hi there, it's mainly used for programming and robot learning, but you can have a try.

Do you have a tutorial on how to build a simulator for this version of the robot ARM. I see the jetArm has the virtual simulator. It would be good exercise for the student and customers that have this arrm.
Hi there,
MaxArm is a robot arm for beginners, so it does not use ROS. However, because it is not based on ROS, the simulator be synchronized with the real object in real time. JetArm will be perfect if you want to build a simulator.
Many Thanks,

Does the MaxArm have a simulator? I came across this Robot Arm call JetArm. I initially thought the JetArm might be an extension of the MaxArm. The JetArm has a Unified Robot Description Format (URDF) simulator, I started thinking does the MaxArm has a virtual Simulator that may have been created. You can see the simulator for the JetArm at 1:24 in this video. It looks somewhat similar to the MaxArm. Again,Is there a virtual simulator available for the MaxArm? Here’s the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDDF6Tyi4U0 .
Currently, MaxArm doesn't have a virtual simulator
