The Franka Research 3 is a world-leading robotic system designed for the latest AI and robotics research. It is a force-sensitive robotic system that provides researchers with user-friendly robotic functions and low-level access to the robot's control and learning capabilities. The Franka Research 3 robotic system includes the arm and its controller.
The force-sensitive and agile arm has 7 DOF with torque sensors at each joint, industrial position repeatability of +/- 0.1 mm, and negligible path deviations even at high speeds. It has a payload of 3 kg, a reach of 855 mm and a working range coverage of 94.5%]. The Franka Control Interface (FCI) is the ideal interface to explore low-level programming and control schemes, provides the current status of the robot, and enables its direct torque control at 1 kHz.
In addition to the libfranka C++ interface, integration with the most popular ecosystems ROS, ROS2 and MATLAB & Simulink is available. The Franka Research 3 is the platform of choice for the latest AI and robotics research.

Optimize your Franka Research 3::
- The Franka Hand is a 2-finger gripper from Franka Emika with interchangeable fingertips that is fully integrated into the Franka Research 3 software, making it plug-and-use. The fingertips can be easily exchanged and adapted to the objects to be gripped, e.g. by using 3D-printed fingertips.
- The app package for FR3 consists of modular building blocks that can be combined into app workflows to quickly prototype robot behaviors. Each app includes a context menu that interactively guides the user through entering parameters such as speed and force, and setting robot positions through demonstration.
- RIDE is the development interface for writing custom apps and connecting third-party hardware and external resources. It is the ideal tool for customizing and extending the capabilities of the system
