Overview

ABB's human-sized, padded two-armed robot for electronics and small-parts assembly, launched in 2015 as what ABB called the first truly collaborative robot. Its low payload limits industrial use, but it became a common dual-arm research platform. ABB later added a single-arm 7-axis YuMi and the larger GoFa and SWIFTI cobots.
