The Tobor Robotics and Automation Platform is a customizable robotics and automation platform with an open-source, modular design. Tobor is built with an open-source philosophy, allowing users to customize and expand the platform to suit their specific requirements. Its modular design enables seamless integration of various components, such as robotic arms, motion platforms, sensors, and actuators.

Tobor offers a wide range of toolhead options to cater to different automation tasks. Options include a pen plotter for drawing, a Z-stage toolhead for advanced movement, suction cup toolheads for pick-and-place operations, and more. Tobor integrates with Evezor Edge Boards, which expand its capabilities by adding functions such as machine vision, sensors, and actuators. This connectivity ensures that Tobor can adapt to a wide range of automation needs.

Tobor brings industrial-level precision to the desktop environment, boasting a resolution of 0.031 mm (0.001 in) per step at full extension. This level of accuracy makes it ideal for tasks requiring meticulous detail and precision. The platform is designed to be user-friendly, with drag-and-drop programming and an intuitive interface. Tobor supports collaborative programming, enabling multiple users to work together on a project.

The platform includes customizable haptic feedback, providing tactile responses to user inputs. This enhances the user experience and makes it easier to operate the system without constantly looking at it. Tobor is built with safety and reliability in mind, featuring over-heating protection, over-current protection, and over-loading protection.
