Franka Emika Cobot with Camera – 3 kg, 855 mm (2020)

Franka Emika Robot Arm (often known as Panda) is one of the most technologically advanced collaborative robots in the world. What sets it apart from the competition is its 7 axes (one more than standard robots) and the integrated torque sensors in every joint . This gives the robot an almost “human-like” sense of touch, enabling it to perform tasks requiring extreme delicacy, such as assembling fine electronics or precisely inserting components.

Technical Specifications

Key Features and Equipment

• Sensors: A unique torque-sensing system across all 7 axes enables safe interaction with humans and operation in compliant control mode.

• Vision System: An integrated camera allows for Vision-Guided Robotics tasks (object recognition and positioning based on visual input).

• Design: The 7-axis (redundant) structure allows the robot to avoid obstacles in ways impossible for 6-axis robots – the arm can reconfigure without moving the end-effector.

• Applications: Ideal for research labs, precision assembly, button/screen testing, and any tasks requiring high sensitivity to mechanical resistance.
