Ned is a collaborative robot based on Ubuntu 18.04 and ROS (Robot Operating System) Melodic, an open-source solution created for robotics. Through ROS, Ned has multiple libraries allowing you to create a variety of programs, from basic to more complex.

Make Ned A Complete “Industry 4.0 Ready” Ecosystem!
The Ned Complete Ecosystem is designed for introducing students to Industry 4.0!
The Conveyor Belt and Vision Set Add-ons can even be used with other robots!
Accessories
The Ned includes the Customizable Gripper. Other accessories include the Large Gripper, Adaptive Gripper, the Vacuum Pump and an Electromagnet. Plus, the EasyConnect system makes switching accessories and tools a snap!
If you have a 3D printer, you can even create your own jaws to make them fit to your projects!
How can Ned be controlled?
- Turn on Ned’s learning mode to position it manually and teach it positions to reproduce. Controlling Ned can be as easy as pressing a button!
- With Niryo Studio, our free desktop application, use blocks to create your own robotic programs. Based on Blockly (similar to Scratch), our visual programming interface allows you to quickly and easily create robotic programs without any prior programming knowledge.
- Use an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi to control Ned through its digital inputs and outputs (tutorial).
- Advanced Users : develop your own controller (use a computer mouse, a keyboard, a game controller or Leap Motion to control Ned according to your preferences and needs), use our API (Python, Modbus, TCP) to control Ned directly or remotely, or dive directly into the ROS code, which is open-source.
