The field of robotics is, with the need for automatisation, becoming an increasingly important field of research. The use of robot manipulators for various tasks demands powerful machines which, due to their high cost and complex software, makes them less accessible for educational purposes. Keeping this in mind we assembled a more affordable open source robot manipulator Niryo One and integrated it into the Manus system. To achieve this we adjusted the original codes of the manipulator and the system and developed a connecting interface. Finally we tested the integrated device and pointed out some of its problems and limitations. The final product represents an affordable, yet powerful robot manipulator for use in education at the faculty. Furthermore we describe the procedure of integrating a manipulator into the aforementioned system along with the problems that came up during our work. In addition, we propose some alterations to the system that could simplify this process in the future.
