Price Match Guarantee

We match the lowest online price on the products we sell — and if you find a lower price on a product listed over $2,000, we will beat it by $50. Purchase from our store first, then send proof of the lower price (a screenshot, invoice, or email) to support@roboticsselect.com and we will refund the difference.

A few requirements: the competitor must be an authorized online retailer of the product with the item in stock on their website, must be online-only (no retail location), and cannot be a discounter or auction site such as eBay or Overstock. The comparison includes the item price and shipping charges but excludes sales tax.

Rebates, buy-one-get-one offers, and special once-a-year promotions such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday are not eligible. Certain exceptions may apply.

Returns & Refunds

Cancel any time before your order ships for a full refund, free of charge. Custom and made-to-order products are put into production for your specific order, so all sales are final on those items.

You have 30 days from the date you receive an item to start a return — email support@roboticsselect.com or call (412) 415-7375. Products must be returned unopened and unused. Some brands set their own return terms, and the brand-specific policy on the product page overrides the general 30-day window; if the manufacturer will not permit a return, we cannot offer one.

Outright returns after shipment incur a 25% cancellation fee plus return shipping, and manufacturer restocking fees (usually around 20%) may also apply — return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility. Refunds go to your original payment method and are processed within 10 days of our receiving the returned product.

Inspect the package when it arrives: note any damage when signing for delivery and send photos to support@roboticsselect.com within 24 hours — freight damage claims are not valid after 24 hours.

Full Refund Policy

Shipping & Delivery

Standard curbside delivery is always completely free. Most orders ship out within 1-5 business days, and delivery takes 5-8 business days once shipped (estimated delivery 6-13 business days). All shipping times are estimates and can vary by brand, especially for made-to-order items.

Orders ship fully tracked via USPS, UPS, or FedEx, and we email your tracking information within 24 hours of the order leaving the warehouse. If tracking hasn't arrived within six business days of ordering, contact support@roboticsselect.com.

Upgraded delivery options are also available: Threshold Shipping brings the item onto your porch or into a sheltered/garage area, and White Glove Delivery brings it into your room of choice, includes minor assembly, and removes all packaging.

We do not ship outside the USA, with limited exceptions — if checkout accepts your shipping address, we can deliver to it.

WLKATA Mirobot Education Kit

Overview

The WLKATA Mirobot Education Kit is a compact 6-axis desktop robotic arm built for the classroom. It brings real robotics engineering, including forward and inverse kinematics, motion planning, and pick-and-place, into a tabletop format that fits a school lab. The Mirobot has the same 6+1 axis configuration as a typical industrial robot, so students learn concepts that carry directly into industry.

The arm has a 315 mm reach and a repeatability of 0.2 mm, with a standard payload of 250 grams (up to 400 grams when moving near the desktop). Its joints use high-accuracy stepping motors with reducers. Multiple control methods, from block-based coding for beginners to Python and ROS for advanced users, make it suitable for a wide range of ages and course levels.

The kit is designed as a complete classroom package, pairing the arm with a control box, a set of end effectors, WLKATA software, and a student textbook, so a teacher can get a class started with a clear, structured path.

Applications

Student programming the WLKATA Mirobot in a classroom

The Mirobot Education Kit is used by schools and universities in more than 40 countries to teach core robotics. Because it costs a fraction of a full industrial robot while keeping a true 6-axis design, it is a practical way to introduce robotics across multiple grade levels while keeping enough technical depth for specialized STEM programs.

Students gain hands-on experience with end-effector control, path planning, kinematics, and coordination with external sensors. The platform also supports MATLAB and ROS simulation, so engineering classes can connect physical exercises to the simulation tools used in research and industry.

Setup and Getting Started

Unbox and inspect: Remove the Mirobot, control box, and end effectors, and check for shipping damage.
Mount the base: Set the arm on a stable surface, allowing room for its 315 mm reach.
Connect power and control: Connect the control box and power supply, and pair over Bluetooth or WiFi.
Install WLKATA Studio: Install the software and try the teach-and-play and Blockly modes first.
Attach an end effector: Fit the gripper or suction cup; tools swap in about 30 seconds with the thumb screws.
Run a first program: Follow the included textbook to run a simple pick-and-place, then move on to Python or ROS.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is in the Mirobot Education Kit?

A WLKATA Mirobot 6-axis arm, a control box, an end-effector kit (servo gripper, suction cup and pen holder; a laser engraver and other tools are optional), a basic conveyor belt accessory, the WLKATA software suite, and a comprehensive student textbook. Designed as a complete classroom kit for one student or a pair of students.

How is the Mirobot different from the WLKATA MT4?

The Mirobot is a 6-axis arm with a 250 g standard payload (400 g maximum near the desktop), aluminum alloy and ABS plastic construction, and educational-grade pricing. The MT4 is a 4-axis higher-precision all-metal arm with a 500 g standard payload (600 g maximum) and 0.1 mm (0.004 inches) repeatability suited for prototyping work. Choose Mirobot for affordability and 6-axis kinematics teaching; choose MT4 for higher payload and engineering-grade builds.

What programming environments are supported?

Block-based programming (Blockly and Scratch) for younger students, Python for intermediate users, ROS 1 and ROS 2 for advanced ROS coursework, MATLAB and CoppeliaSim (V-REP) for engineering classes, and G-code for those interfacing with CAM workflows. WLKATA publishes a MATLAB user manual and a MATLAB and V-REP demo for offline simulation of the Mirobot.

What end-effectors can be swapped?

Parallel gripper, suction cup with pump, ballpoint pen holder for drawing, laser engraver for laser cutting and engraving on light materials, 3D-printer extruder, and a small CNC spindle for plastic cutting. End-effector swap takes about 30 seconds with thumb screws. The laser engraver, extruder and spindle are optional tools sold separately.

Is it accurate enough for engineering work?

Repeatability is approximately 0.2 mm (0.008 inches) at full extension under rated payload. Suitable for educational engineering work, light prototyping, and demonstration. For production-grade work above 0.1 mm (0.004 inches) precision, use industrial arms or the WLKATA MT4 with its 0.1 mm (0.004 inches) spec.

How does it teach inverse kinematics?

Multiple kinematic modes: students can manually solve IK and program joint angles, use the built-in IK solver and program Cartesian poses, or use the visual programming interface and skip kinematics entirely. Cross-comparing the three approaches is a core teaching point. The free Mirobot textbook covers kinematics alongside Python programming and ROS.

What is the rated payload?

250 g standard, up to 400 g when moving near the desktop. Suitable for small parts, paper cups, light tools, sample electronic components, candy, paper coupons. Not for heavy machining or production lifting. The reach is 12.4 inches (315 mm).

Is it noisy in a classroom?

WLKATA does not publish a noise rating for the Mirobot. In normal motion the stepper-driven arm is quiet enough for a classroom. The end-effector tools (laser, pump for suction, printer extruder) add their own noise during use.

What is the warranty?

12-month manufacturer warranty on the Mirobot robotic arm. Spare parts carry 3-month, 6-month or 1-year coverage depending on the part, and consumables are not covered. RoboticsSelect handles warranty service as authorized WLKATA dealer.

How long does it take to learn?

Block-based programming: students can demonstrate basic motions in their first session using teach-and-play and Blockly. Python control: a few guided sessions for typical engineering students, following the free Mirobot Programming and Control textbook. ROS integration: additional practice assuming prior ROS familiarity. MATLAB integration: depends on prior MATLAB experience; WLKATA's MATLAB user manual and demo provide the starting point.
