Franka Research 3
DISCOVER THE NEW FRANKA RESEARCH 3
Franka Research 3 is the reference world-class, force-sensitive robot system tailored for AI and robotics research. It empowers researchers with easy-to-use robot features as well as with low-level access to robot’s control and learning capabilities.
The force-sensitive robot Diana 7 by Agile Robots stands out with its 7 axes, 7 kg payload, and high precision. Now, with the integration of Franka Control Interface (FCI), users can access the control loop and capture system state data from sensors at 1 kHz, making Diana 7 excellent for research as well.
„The Franka robot system is ideal for our research in reactive, robust manipulation in open-ended environments. It is also well suited for our work toward collaborative manipulation alongside people.“
Dieter Fox, Senior Director - Robotics Research, NVIDIA
„Humans and robots are differently intelligent; by interacting, we can combine skills to do more than what we could achieve separately.“
Leila Takayama, Associate Professor - Human-Robot Interaction, University of California
„A new era of robotic applications calls for a new robot generation. Franka is laying down a solid foundation for the new challenges in real-world robotics applications.“
Oussama Khatib, Director - Robotics Lab, Stanford University
THE BRIDGE BETWEEN THEORY AND APPLICATION, FOR YOUR TEACHING AND RESEARCH WORK
A SUCCESS STORY FROM TU WIEN
At the Automation and Control Institute (ACIN) of the TU Wien, Prof. Christian Ott's group conducts research in the domains of manipulation and locomotion. They utilize the Franka robot interfaced with MATLAB Simulink to seamlessly transition algorithms developed in theoretical and simulated environments directly into real-world robot applications. In a project centered on hardware-in-the-loop simulation, the toolbox enabled real-time communication with the robot. Leveraging integration blocks from Simulink, such as transformation matrices, researchers could monitor all aspects of the system in real-time. Additionally, they could send real-time torque commands to the robot. This streamlined process simplified their workflow, enabling them to concentrate on the development of the control system.
