Antarum is independent: we don’t sell or ship robots and aren’t an official dealer of this brand. You buy from the manufacturer or an authorised dealer. They’re your contract partner.

Why it’s in

An easy way into robot arms: at 850 g it sits on a desk, and you program it with blocks, Python or ROS, or teach it by moving it by hand.
One arm, five controllers: Arduino, M5Stack, Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson Nano or RDK X5 with 10 TOPS for AI.
Stocked by a German dealer (Welectron) with delivery in 1–3 business days in Germany.

What bothers us

250 g payload and ±0.5 mm repeatability: a learning tool, not an arm for real work.
Short maker warranty: 90 days on the servo motors, 180 days on the electronics, 365 days on the mechanics. The official store ships from China and takes back only unopened items within 7 days.
Elephant Robotics calls it a collaborative robot, but its product pages list no safety certification.
