The Lynxmotion SES-V2 Robotic Arm (3 DoF) w/ Smart Servos Kit was designed to be an inexpensive yet highly versatile robotic arm using the fully configurable Lynxmotion Smart Servo (LSS) actuators. The four-bar mechanical design ensures the end effector remains parallel to the surface, and offloads much of the weight of the joints onto the base. Combined with the Lynxmotion conveyor system, a tabletop assembly system can be created within a few hours.
Although well suited for use on a desk for development and experimentation, the arm is meant to be easily fitted to a mobile robot and powered using a 3S LiPo battery (sold separately) with XT60 connector.
The included Mini Parallel Gripper uses a micro servo, acrylic and foam to be as lightweight as possible. The gripper opens to 40mm and the bracket allows it to be mounted horizontally or vertically.
The arm includes three main electronic components: The LSS Adapter makes connecting to a computer, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, XBee or other serial device easy, while the LSS-2IO programmable microcontroller (which control the gripper RC servo) and LSS-5VR voltage regulator mean the normal RC servo in the gripper can be used with the LSS communication protocol.
CAD design files, as well as examples of how to communicate with the smart servos via Arduino and Python are available so that students and hobbyists can more easily integrate the arm into their projects. The graphical user interface LSS FlowArm, created using FlowBotics Studio, makes recording and playing back sequences effortless.

If you are not satisfied with a product purchased from the Site, you may request a return within 30 days from the delivery date, unless the product is listed under the Return Exceptions below or is subject to specific return conditions noted on the product page.
This return policy also applies, as a minimum standard, to products sold and fulfilled by third-party vendors through the Marketplace.

Return Conditions
To qualify for a refund under the 30-day return policy, all of the following conditions must be met:
A valid Return Authorization (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
The RA number must be included with the return.
Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
A $100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
Clearance Items — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
On-Demand Items — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfill a customer request.
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
