Where it performs
- Dual-arm configuration allows for complex, cooperative manipulation tasks.
- Integrated edge computing, 3D vision, and HMI for advanced applications.
- Supports voice interaction and VR teleoperation for flexible control.
What to check before buying
- Limited payload of 1 kg per arm restricts lifting of heavier objects.
- Fixed base design means no inherent mobility; requires external transport.
- Total 17 degrees of freedom, but distributed across two arms, not single effector.
