WLKATA (Beijing Tsinew Technologies) was founded in 2017 in Beijing's Zhongguancun technology district and builds miniature industrial-style robotic arms for education. Its Mirobot - an open, 6-axis desktop arm - and the rebuildable metal MT4 are used by schools and universities in more than 60 countries to teach everything from block-based programming to ROS 2, MATLAB, and machine vision. RoboticsSelect carries the full WLKATA catalog: arm kits, AI learning kits, training cells, and expansion accessories.
What makes WLKATA different
WLKATA's founding idea was to shrink a real industrial robot onto a school desk. The Mirobot is a 6+1-axis arm with 0.2 mm repeatability - the same kinematic structure students will meet on factory cobots - at a price a classroom can justify. The MT4 takes the opposite lesson: a 4+1-axis palletizing arm with a CNC metal frame, 0.1 mm repeatability, and 500 g payload that students can fully disassemble and rebuild with a hex tool, turning mechanical assembly itself into curriculum.
The software path is the other differentiator. Every WLKATA arm starts in Blockly for absolute beginners, then progresses through Python and G-code to ROS, ROS 2, MATLAB, and simulation tools like CoppeliaSim and NVIDIA Omniverse - so one platform can serve a middle-school elective and a university robotics course. Kits ship with real textbooks and teacher guides, and the ecosystem grows outward: conveyor belts, sliding rails, AGV rover bases, and AI vision sets combine into desktop mini production lines for sorting, assembly, and pick-and-place training.
The WLKATA lineup at RoboticsSelect
The Mirobot kits bundle the 6-axis arm with progressively richer accessory sets - the Education Kit for intro classrooms, the Professional Kit with a wireless teach pendant and pneumatic end effectors, and the Advanced Kit with an AI voice-control box and electromagnetic gripper. The AI Vision Set adds OpenMV machine vision to any of them.

Beyond the desktop kits, WLKATA builds complete training cells and lines - AI sorting cells, automobile assembly lines, fruit-picking cells, and logistics warehouse cells - plus the industrial-grade 6-axis Haro380 for university labs. Expansion accessories like conveyor belts and sliding rails let any arm grow into a line, the MS4220 stepper driver runs the conveyor from a PLC, Arduino, or PC over RS485 Modbus RTU without an arm, and the OpenCV Advanced Vision Suite adds a Jetson-based AI vision station with a 17-inch display, a 2952 x 1944 camera, and a 12-chapter textbook to any Mirobot, MT4, Haro380, or MiroMAX.
