Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Toolset
robotic system
The Franka Research3 robotic system includes the Armand control system. Equipped with torque sensors at each joint, this sensitive and flexible robotic arm features industrial-grade attitude repeatability of +/-0.1mm and virtually no path deviation, even at high speeds. It has a 3kg load capacity, 855mm working radius and 94.5% workspace coverage.
FCI (Franka Control Interface)
The FCI list is the ideal interface for exploring low-level programming and control scenarios, providing the current state of the robot and enabling it to be commanded at 1kHz. On top of the C++ interface library franka, integration with the most popular ecosystems ROS, ROS2 and MATLAB & Simulink is available!
DESK
Desk is a browser-based user interface that provides quick robot control options and the ability to drag and drop applications into sequences to quickly create entire tasks. Ideal for rapid prototyping of robot behavior, setting up experiments, and conducting simple human-robot interaction studies and demonstrations.
Watchman
Easy to use and quick to implement security. Thanks to the browser-based user interface Watchman, the often complex security setup is greatly simplified to ensure that your lab and lab personnel are protected.
The right interface for each use case
The three access levels address different needs and skills and are applicable to the entire field of robotics studies.
DESK
Simplicity of use and minimal programming time make Desk the most suitable interface for rapid prototyping, simple human-computer interaction studies and presentations.
RIDE
It allows researchers to fully integrate the Franka Emika system into experimental setups and to utilize its integrated high-performance controller. It is also an excellent teaching tool for elementary robotics.
FCI
FCI bypasses robot control and allows researchers to run their own control algorithms at 1kHz on an external real-time viable personal computer. This is an ideal interface for exploring low-level planning and control schemes.
