Accessible robot arm platform built around hardware, motion control, software, and simulation.

HexaKinetica is a robotics project focused on building a practical robot arm ecosystem.

The long-term goal is HexaArm Medium Pro — a medium-class robot arm platform for real-world robotics tasks.

We are moving toward that goal step by step: starting with smaller open hardware, controller architecture, motion software, simulation tools, and validation platforms.

HexaArm Medium Pro is the main product direction of the project.

It is not part of the Maker line and is not positioned as a finished open-hardware release yet. The repository is currently used as a high-level overview of the target platform and development direction.

Status: CAD design / under development

Operator interface and simulation environment.

HexaStudio is being developed as the main software layer for working with HexaKinetica robots: motion preview, robot operation, simulation, and future hardware integration.

Status: active development

Motion control software foundation.

HexaMotion contains the core motion-control logic used to support robot movement, kinematics, trajectory handling, and hardware integration.

Status: active development

Open hardware desktop robot arm.

HexaArm Mini Maker is the current public Open Hardware platform. It is designed as an accessible desktop robot arm for prototyping, and software validation.

The CAD files are published in the repository.

Status: CAD published / Pre-prototype / active development

Robot controller architecture.

HexaCore is the controller direction of the platform. It is built around a modular control architecture and is intended to connect the software stack with real robot hardware.

The controller CAD is published in the repository.

Status: CAD published / Pre-prototype active development

Validation robot.

HexaArm Hybrid is used to test different actuator types, control methods, and hardware configurations on a shared software and controller stack.

It is not the final product. It is a validation platform used to reduce technical risk before moving toward larger robot arms.

Status: validation platform

HexaKinetica is built as one system:

• HexaArm Mini Maker — accessible open hardware starting point
• HexaArm Hybrid — validation platform for actuators and control methods
• HexaCore — controller architecture
• HexaStudio — operator interface and simulation environment
• HexaMotion — motion-control software foundation
• HexaArm Medium Pro — target medium-class robot arm direction

The project is currently focused on turning these parts into a coherent robotics platform.

HexaKinetica is:

• an early-stage robotics project
• a robot arm development platform
• a hardware and software R&D ecosystem
• a step-by-step path toward a medium-class robot arm
• an attempt to make robot arm development more accessible and understandable
