AgileX PiPER
Lightweight six-axis arm for manipulation research and integration projects. PiPER combines a 1.5 kg payload, 626 mm reach and a CAN control interface with an official Python SDK and ROS support.
Choosing this model
Read the product documentationSourcebotics selection notes, based on the published documentation.
Application fit
- Tabletop manipulation development with the original 626 mm PiPER arm.
Integration planning
- The official Python SDK uses CAN at 1 Mbit/s. Confirm the supplied adapter, host driver, firmware and DH revision.
- AgileX also documents Piper in pyAgxArm. Record one compatible SDK/firmware combination; this review did not install or test either path.
- The published 1.5 kg payload has no verified peak/rated distinction or load-pose curve. Include tool and workpiece loading in the task assessment.
Selection considerations
- Manufacturer sources reviewed 2026-09-15 (Asia/Shanghai). PiPER-X is a separate 669 mm model.
- The official $1,999 product reference is separate from Sourcebotics POA. Confirm the complete gripper, adapter, supply, fixture and delivery scope.
- Chinese electrical specifications and the official manual could not be fully opened. Voltage, current and pinout remain pending readable evidence.
