Research 3 (FR3)
A seven-axis sensitive manipulator with torque sensors in every joint — the de facto standard for manipulation and AI research. Its open 1 kHz control interface gives direct access to joint torques from C++, ROS 2 or MATLAB. A platform for labs, universities and R&D teams developing robot control and learning algorithms.

Han's RobotElfin E03The entry model of the Elfin cobot line from Han's Robot (Han's Laser group): 3 kg payload at just 18 kg of robot weight. Its dual-joint module design keeps the arm compact and agile — it fits on a standard workbench. Suited to small workshops automating light repetitive operations without rebuilding the workcell.Open →
Han's RobotElfin E05 ProAn Elfin-Pro series cobot with a built-in machine vision camera and force control: the 1000 Hz control loop delivers smooth hand-guided teaching and precise trajectories. IP66 protection allows deployment in dusty and wet zones where ordinary cobots don't survive. An option for plants that want vision and force control out of the box, without third-party add-ons.Open →
Han's RobotElfin E10The ten-kilogram cobot of the Elfin line — a balance of payload and a one-meter working radius. With ±0.03 mm repeatability and six axes it covers most typical shop-floor tasks, from workpiece transfer to welding. A sensible choice when 3–5 kg models are no longer enough but a full industrial robot would be overkill.Open →
Hanwha RoboticsHCR-12AThe top model of Hanwha Robotics' HCR Advanced cobot series: 12 kg payload and 1.3 m of reach. That combination covers jobs where ordinary cobots run out of reach — palletizing and tending large machine tools. Aimed at metalworking, automotive and packaging lines.Open →
