Robin

Compliance is the selling point of Robin from Roboligent in Austin, Texas: two soft 7-DOF arms (14 degrees of freedom in total, column and base not counted) run under force control, and the end-effector sensing resolves forces below 0.1 N. The arms sit on a motorised lifting column that moves the working area from floor level to 2 m, with a 1,000 mm reach per arm.

The omnidirectional base has a 680 by 600 mm footprint and travels around people at 0.6 m/s, software-limited from a 1.2 m/s maximum. The robot weighs 105 kg and lifts 7 kg with one arm or 14 kg with both. Depending on the battery option it runs 6 to 12 hours, is rated IP20 and operates between 10 and 32 degrees Celsius. Grippers depend on the configuration, and new tasks are taught by imitation learning.

The overall height is not stated. Robin is not sold outright: Roboligent provides it only under a subscription service agreement, and safety certification for each target market is still in progress, hence the pilot status. Intended uses are material handling, machine tending and logistics. Compared with the Dual-Arm Lift, Robin is lighter, slower and built for safe contact with people.
