Study notes

  • Dual-arm system includes two FR3 robots and one FR3 Duo Mounting Kit comprising the FR3 Duo Mount and FR3 Duo Cover.
  • Each arm has 7 degrees of freedom; the document states 17 total DOF for the system.
  • Each arm has 855 mm reach and 3 kg payload; 14 torque sensors are listed in total, or 7 per arm.
  • Vision locations are a head camera and two wrist cameras.
  • Expandability is provided by mechanical and electrical connection points.
  • The optional FR3 Duo Vision and Manipulation Kit includes two Robotiq 2F-85 grippers with a shared power supply, two RealSense D405 wrist cameras with holders and cabling, and a Stereolab ZED Mini stereo camera on a Franka Head Bracket.
  • FCI provides low-level real-time control at 1 kHz over Ethernet UDP, with joint torque, joint position, joint velocity, Cartesian pose, and Cartesian velocity commands.
  • FCI also provides 1 kHz measurements of joint data, estimated external torques and forces, and collision/contact information.
  • franka_ros integrates libfranka into ROS 2 Control and includes URDF models, 3D meshes, RViz visualization, Gazebo simulation, and MoveIt integration.
  • The product is marked Prototype in the document.

Safety

  • Internal supervision in FCI only prevents self-damage; operator protection requires custom safety rules implemented by the user.
  • FCI reports collision and contact information at 1 kHz.
