The Waveshare High-Torque Serial Bus Servo, Desktop Robotic Arm Kit, Based on ESP32, 5-DOF (UK) is a sophisticated robotic arm designed for advanced control and flexibility. It features five degrees of freedom, including the clamping capability of its stainless steel gripper. The arm is constructed with a carbon fiber arm and an aluminum body, ensuring a balance of high strength and light weight. This robotic arm is based on the ESP32 platform, which supports various wireless communication methods such as 2.4G WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2, and ESP-NOW, allowing for versatile connectivity options.
The arm offers two primary control methods: angle control and coordinate control, providing users with precise manipulation capabilities. It also supports a leading-following mode based on ESP-NOW, enhancing its motion control flexibility. Additionally, the arm can record and replay motions, making it suitable for repetitive tasks and learning applications. The ESP32-WROOM-32 main control module facilitates these operations, and the arm can be connected to multiple host computers, including Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, and PCs, via a USB cable.
The robotic arm is equipped with an OLED screen, a Type-C port, and various onboard resources such as a servo control header and RGB LED, which contribute to its user-friendly interface and functionality. The servo torque lock feature allows the servo to be rotated by external force when the lock is disengaged, providing additional control flexibility. The arm's design supports multiple motion model demonstrations and a cross-platform web application, making it an excellent tool for educational and developmental purposes.
Note: Ensure proper handling and operation to avoid injury or damage to the device.

If you are not satisfied with a product purchased from the Site, you may request a return within 30 days from the delivery date, unless the product is listed under the Return Exceptions below or is subject to specific return conditions noted on the product page.
This return policy also applies, as a minimum standard, to products sold and fulfilled by third-party vendors through the Marketplace.
United Kingdom consumers exercising their statutory Right of Cancellation are subject to different conditions. See the Statutory Right of Cancellation.
Returns under this policy concern non-defective products. In the case of a confirmed manufacturing defect, remedies are handled under the Warranty terms, at the Vendor's discretion. See the Warranty section.
Return Conditions
To qualify for a refund under the 30-day return policy, all of the following conditions must be met:
A valid Return Authorisation (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
The RA number must be included with the return.
Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
A £100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
Consumables * — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tyres, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odour-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly * — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
Digital Goods, Software, and Apps * — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
Clearance Items * — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
On-Demand Items * — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfil a customer request.
* United-Kingdom consumers retain their statutory Right of Cancellation on these items. Its exercise is subject to the conditions and exclusions set out in the Statutory Right of Cancellation, and any reimbursement may be reduced to reflect a loss in value resulting from handling beyond inspection.
How to Request a Return Authorisation (RA)
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
RobotShop Fulfilled Orders → submit a support ticket from your account under My Support Tickets.
Marketplace Vendor Orders → submit a ticket from your account under My Marketplace Tickets to contact the vendor directly.
Note: Marketplace vendor products are normally labelled with SKUs starting with RM, and identified on the product page with the mention "Sold and fulfilled by [Vendor Name]".
