Overview

The Franka Research 3 (FR3) is a 7-degree-of-freedom collaborative/research robot arm with integrated joint torque sensors on all 7 axes, enabling force-sensitive and compliant manipulation. It offers approximately 855 mm maximum reach, 3 kg payload, and better than ±0.1 mm repeatability. The arm is programmed and controlled via the Franka Control Interface (FCI) with the libfranka C++ library and franka_ros, providing 1 kHz real-time access to torque and motion control for research applications.
