FRANKA / Collaborative Robot

Franka Research 3

Precision Collaborative Robotics

The Franka Research 3 (FR3) represents the pinnacle of collaborative robotics technology, combining exceptional sensitivity with precise manipulation capabilities. Built on Franka's renowned torque-sensing technology, every joint features integrated torque sensors that enable the robot to detect and respond to external forces with unprecedented accuracy.

Designed for both research institutions and advanced manufacturing applications, the FR3 offers a unique combination of human-safe collaboration, high precision, and intuitive programming. Its 7-DOF kinematic design provides human-like dexterity, allowing it to work in constrained spaces and perform complex manipulation tasks.

The FR3 comes with Franka Desk, an intuitive programming interface that enables both experts and novices to create sophisticated robotic applications. Combined with its open-source SDK and ROS integration, the FR3 is the ideal platform for cutting-edge robotics research and innovative automation solutions.
