Description

Elephant Robotics myController S570

Overview

The Elephant Robotics myController S570 is a portable, wearable dual-arm exoskeleton controller for motion data collection and robot teleoperation. You wear it and move your arms, and it captures that motion to drive a connected robot in real time. It is designed to help researchers, developers, and educators apply robotics in practical and learning scenarios, particularly for end-to-end AI data collection and intuitive remote control.

It provides 12 degrees of freedom, six per arm, with a 570 mm reach per arm and a 1500 mm total span, and it weighs just 1.5 kilograms for comfortable wear. High-resolution 4096-count magnetic encoders track motion precisely, and the device samples data at up to 100 Hz, transmitting joint positions, speeds, button states, joystick states, and gyroscope data. A dual-finger grip, two joysticks, and two buttons provide control, and a 2-inch LCD shows real-time status.

The S570 connects over USB Type-C, Bluetooth, or wireless, and is broadly compatible: it works with the myCobot 280 and 320, myCobot Pro 630, myAGV, mechArm 270, myArm M750, myBuddy 280, the Mercury humanoid, and Universal Robots arms, among others. A standardized Python driver library on PyPI, together with ROS1 and ROS2 support and RViz simulation, makes teleoperation and data collection approachable even for beginners.

Specifications

Key Features

• Wearable Dual-Arm Exoskeleton: 12 degrees of freedom, six per arm, with 570 mm reach per arm and a 1500 mm span, at just 1.5 kg for comfortable wear.
• High-Speed, High-Resolution Capture: 4096-resolution magnetic encoders sample motion at up to 100 Hz for precise AI training and motion capture.
• Intuitive Control: A dual-finger grip, two joysticks, and two buttons let you drive a robot in a way that matches human operating habits.
• Broad Robot Compatibility: Works with myCobot, myAGV, mechArm, myArm M750, myBuddy, the Mercury humanoid, and Universal Robots arms, among others.
• Flexible Connectivity: USB Type-C, Bluetooth, and wireless, with a 2-inch LCD for real-time status.
• Open Development: A standardized Python driver library on PyPI, plus ROS1 and ROS2 support with RViz simulation.

Applications

The S570 suits research, education, and teleoperation. For AI research, it captures end-to-end motion data for training imitation-learning and other models. For teleoperation, it lets an operator control compatible robots from a distance in a natural, human-aligned way, which is valuable for measurement, rescue, and other unmanned tasks, as well as industrial workstation and humanoid-robot control.

In education, its user-friendly interface, pre-installed firmware, and documentation make it approachable for all skill levels, and it works with robots of various degrees of freedom for hands-on learning. Because it transmits standardized motion data, teams can build a teleoperation project across compatible robots without writing complex control algorithms from scratch.

Setup and Getting Started

1. Unbox and inspect: Remove the myController S570 and check for shipping damage.
2. Connect power: Connect the 8.4 V power adapter, and confirm the 2-inch LCD shows status.
3. Connect to your computer: Connect over USB Type-C, Bluetooth, or wireless, following the documentation.
4. Install the software: Install the Python driver library from PyPI, or set up the ROS1 or ROS2 environment with RViz.
5. Pair with a robot: Connect a compatible robot, such as a myArm M750 or a Universal Robots arm, and confirm the S570 transmits motion data.
6. Wear and operate: Put on the exoskeleton and move your arms to teleoperate the robot or record motion data.
