Intended use

The Ned2 robot is intended for educational, and research and development purposes, i.e.:

  • learning robotics;

  • research and development in robotics;

  • simulation and prototyping of complete industrial scenarios such as “Pick & Place” (take an object to move it), “Pick & Pack” (take an object to insert it into a packaging);

  • hardware application: connect and control the robot with sensors and external actuators in order to simulate an application, while respecting the conditions defined in this instruction manual.

The operations below do not comply with the uses set by Niryo. They include:

  • use as a children’s toy;

  • use for industrial tasks;

  • use for handling inappropriate objects (with unsuitable grippers, objects whose mass is greater than the maximum authorized load);

  • use that exceeds the stated specifications.

Any use of the robot and its ecosystem that does not comply with the uses initially intended by Niryo must be expressly authorized by Niryo.

Unpacking and installation

  1. Inspect Ned2’s packaging to make sure that nothing is damaged;

  2. Remove the packaging and make sure that the product has not been damaged in any way and that nothing has been mislaid during transport;

  3. Put Ned2 in a location that has been specifically allocated to its use;

  4. Pay attention to the commissioning and safety instructions.
