myBuddy 280 is Elephant Robotics' integrated dual-arm desktop collaborative robot: two 6-DoF arms mounted on a shared rotating waist for 13 total DoF, powered by an onboard Raspberry Pi (280 Pi variant). Marketed as the most cost-effective Raspberry-Pi dual-arm robot, it targets education, teaching, and basic bimanual imitation and dual-end-effector experiments. Each arm offers 250 g payload, 280 mm reach and ±0.5 mm repeatability, with two HD cameras and a 7-inch interactive touchscreen.

The myBuddy 280 is a purpose-built integrated dual-arm robot rather than an ad-hoc pairing of two single arms. Two myCobot-class 6-DoF arms sit on a common body with a rotating waist joint, giving 13 degrees of freedom in total. It ships in a Raspberry-Pi-onboard configuration (myBuddy 280 Pi) with a 7-inch interactive display and two 2 MP HD cameras. Elephant Robotics supports it with an open Python SDK (pymycobot) and ROS, making it a common education and research-teaching platform for dual-arm manipulation, imitation learning demos, and coordinated two-hand experiments. It is a stationary desktop unit with no mobile base and no leader-arm teleoperation rig.
