What it can do

Written by Robotheca from the project's documents.

Small, low-cost 6-degree-of-freedom robot arm built from simple 3D-printable shapes
Intended for learning robotics and manipulation, and for educational use
Comes with three tools: a lampshade, a grasper, and a pen holder
Controlled from a Raspberry Pi

Buildable with some effort

How complete the published files are for rebuilding this robot, measured by Robotheca at commit 97ce599. It isn't a rating of the robot.

3D and CAD files20/20
15 printable parts (STL, 3MF), 6 CAD source files.
Robot description0/15
No URDF.
Add a URDF: the robot can then be seen in 3D and tried in the browser.
Parts list0/20
No parts list in the repository or linked.
Most points to gain: Link to your parts list, or add it to the repository (a CSV or a Markdown table) with quantities, prices and where to buy each part.
Software10/15
Code in this repository, instructions to install or run it.
Say which software framework it uses (ROS 2, LeRobot, Arduino…).
Documentation10/15
README of 3,678 characters with 0 pictures; 5 build steps.
Show the robot and its assembly in pictures in the README.
Simulation0/5
No simulation files.
Add a simulation model (MuJoCo, Gazebo, Webots or Isaac).
Licenses10/10
Hardware: CC-BY-SA-4.0; software: GPL-3.0-only.

Copy the provided Poppy Ergo Jr image to an SD card, or run the Raspoppy setup script on a Raspbian Raspberry Pi with at least 8GB of SD card space
If needed, expand the root partition with raspi-config and reboot before running the setup script
Run the raspoppyfication setup script with sudo to configure Python, serial communication, the web interface and the Poppy user
Afterwards, code samples in the software/samples folder can be used as a starting point

Robotheca doesn't review code. Read it before running it.
