The igus ReBeL KID is a five-degree-of-freedom collaborative robot engineered for educational institutions, universities, and training centers.
Weighing 4 kg with a maximum reach of 313 mm and payload capacity of 0.5 kg, this cobot delivers 1 mm repeatability at speeds up to 0.25 m/s.
The system integrates its control electronics in the base, removing the requirement for an external control cabinet and making it suitable for small workspaces and benchtop installations.
The ReBeL KID supports both plug-and-play operation and open-source control implementations.
Control compatibility includes igus Robot Control (iRC), ROS, Python, and LabView, providing flexibility for curriculum development and programming instruction.
This makes the platform appropriate for teaching fundamental robotics concepts, introductory automation tasks, and overhead mounting applications where space is constrained.
The compact form factor and integrated architecture are designed specifically for training environments where footprint and ease of deployment are priorities.
