The Waveshare RoArm-M2-S is a lightweight desktop robotic arm with 4 degrees of freedom, built around an ESP32 controller. Waveshare lists a horizontal workspace of up to 1,090 mm in diameter and a vertical reach of up to 798 mm, a repeatability of about ±4 mm under the same load and a weight of 826 ±15 g. The joints use TTL serial bus servos with 30 kg·cm torque at 12 V and 12-bit magnetic encoders. Power is 12 V, 5 A or a 3S lithium battery (not included). It can be controlled via a web app, JSON commands, USB, UART, WiFi and ESP-NOW; the page also mentions ROS2 and open-source control code. Named uses are mounting on mobile robot chassis, vision applications, multi-arm collaboration via ESP-NOW and secondary development. The load capacity value is not readable on the page. Availability in the Netherlands is not confirmed.
