FR3 DUOPrototype
FR3 DUOPrototype
Mobile FR3 Duo extends the FR3 Duo reference platform into mobile environments by integrating it with Tactile Mobile Robot (TMR). It combines dual-arm manipulation, rich perception, and omnidirectional mobility into a single physical AI system – enabling data collection and policy execution beyond fixed workcells.
-
FR3 ON THE MOVEMobile FR3 Duo unifies teleoperation, dataset generation, and policy execution in dynamic environments. By combining the optimized dual-arm kinematics of FR3 Duo with the omnidirectional base of TMR, it enables whole body coordination for real-world manipulation tasks.
-
INTEGRATED MOBILE MANIPULATIONMechanical, electrical, and software interfaces are pre-integrated. The system is delivered as a coherent architecture, drastically reducing integration time compared to assembling base and manipulation separately. Researchers can focus on experimentation rather than system engineering.
-
REFERENCE PLATFORM FOR PHYSICAL AIResearchers worldwide benefit from using a reference setup to generate collective datasets – or reuse datasets from others – to train models. By using the same setup, they can also fine-tune models, execute policies out-of-the-box, and benchmark policy performance operations.
-
ADVANCED PERCEPTION AND EXTENSIBILITYMobile FR3 Duo inherits TMR’s full sensor suite – LiDAR, cameras, IMU – and combines it with FR3’s tactile sensitivity and vision and manipulation accessories for FR3 Duo. Standardized mounting points allow extension with additional sensors, compute units, or task-specific tools, ensuring adaptability for evolving research needs.

REDUCED INTEGRATION EFFORTS AND REPRODUCIBLE RESULTS
Mobile FR3 Duo includes two FR3 robots and one FR3 Duo Mounting Kit, which comprises FR3 Duo Mount and FR3 Duo Cover. Additionally, it includes Tactile Mobile Robot (TMR).
FR3 Duo is available with an FR3 Duo Vision and Manipulation Kit curated by Franka. The complete optional kit includes two Robotiq 2F-85 Grippers with a shared power supply, two RealSense D405 wrist cameras with dedicated holders and cabling, and a Stereolab ZED Mini Stereo Camera mounted on a Franka Head Bracket.
FRANKA CONTROL INTERFACE (FCI)
-
DIRECT CONTROLFCI provides low-level, real-time control of the robot, without internal transformation. Internal supervision only prevents self-damage. Gain access to the control loop, including position, velocity and torque in joint space, as well as position and velocity in Cartesian space.
-
DATA ACQUISITIONCapture system state data from sensors and models at 1 kHz. FCI also provides external force estimation and additional insights.
-
COMMUNITYJoin the ever-growing Franka Robotics community and leverage C++, ROS 2, or MATLAB & Simulink to accelerate robotics innovation.
-
SAFETYImplement custom safety rules to ensure operator protection.

REAL-TIME CONTROL AND ROS INTEGRATION
The Franka Control Interface (FCI) allows a fast and direct low-level bidirectional connection to the Arm and Hand. It provides the current status of the robot and enables its direct control with an external workstation PC connected via Ethernet. By using libfranka, our open source C++ interface, you can send real-time control values at 1 kHz with 5 different interfaces:
- Joint level torque commands with gravity and friction compensation.
- Joint position or velocity commands.
- Cartesian pose or velocity commands.
Simultaneously, you gain access to 1 kHz measurements of: - Joint data, e.g., the position, velocity and link side torque sensor signals.
- Estimation of externally applied torques and forces.
- Various collision and contact information.
The robot model library provides: - Forward kinematics of all robot joints.
- Jacobian matrix of all robot joints.
- Dynamics, inertia matrix, Coriolis and gravity vector.
Additionally, franka_ros connects Franka robots with the entire ROS 2 ecosystem, integrating libfranka into ROS 2 Control. It includes URDF models and detailed 3D meshes of our robots and end effectors, which allows visualization (e.g., RViz) and Gazebo simulation. Furthermore, the MoveIt! integration simplifies motion planning and gripper control, with example implementations demonstrating how to operate the robot using ROS 2.
