Safety and Quality You Can Rely On

Built for safe human–robot collaboration, Franka Research 3 meets the highest industry standards, certified under ISO 10218 and ISO 13849. Equipped with state-of-the-art actuators and premium sensors, the system has been engineered for both performance and ergonomic handling.

Human-Like Dexterity

The 7-DOF structure enables precise motion, even in confined spaces or around obstacles, making it highly adaptable to complex research scenarios.

Exceptional Sensitivity

Every joint is fitted with torque sensors capable of detecting even the smallest external forces. Combined with a high-speed control system, the arm responds instantly to collisions. This sensitivity not only ensures safety but also enables advanced force and torque control, as well as smooth, intuitive hand-guiding.

Versatile Control Interfaces

From intuitive programming interfaces to direct joint-level control for advanced experimentation, Franka Research 3 adapts to the expertise and requirements of each user.

Precision in Motion Control

With a control loop running at 1 kHz and access to precise low-level sensor data, the system is ideally suited for motion control research and the development of highly specialized behaviours beyond the reach of most robotic platforms.
