Extremely versatile and portable, the KINOVA Gen3 Ultra lightweight robot is pathbreaking, built from the ground up to meet the evolving needs of academic and industry research teams. For starters, the robot can be used between multiple applications, projects and environments, offering you the most value. It also has exciting, unique features like embedded 2D/3D vision and a Quick Connect controller. What’s more, it’s enabled by the new pathbreaking software framework and application development platform.

More capabilities with unprecedented control

From base to end effector, everything about the third-generation service robot is designed to complement and augment what you can do. It’s also the first with built-in discrete 2D and 3D sensors, ideal for vision-based robotic control.

• Embedded 2D/3D vision
• 7 DOF
• Embedded controller in each actuator
• Torque sensor in each joint
• Unlimited joint rotations

Safety you can count on, a robot you can trust

The KINOVA Gen3 Ultra lightweight robot is built for human-robot interaction. Which means it’s not intended to automate tasks, but rather to work with people, enabling you to transcend your physical limitations with confidence.

• Designed to be inherently safe
• 3D visualization of volumetric safety zones
• Collision avoidance
• Configurable safety features

Adapts to your needs

Depending on the project, objective and who’s using the robot, you need the flexibility to quickly change end effectors as needed. The new interface module on our third-generation robot allows simple connectivity with a wide variety of end effectors, instruments and sensors.

• RS-485
• Ethernet (100 Mbps)
• GPIOs
• I2C
• UART
• Power

Control, convenience and connectivity

The practical controller makes it simple to connect your robot in a number of ways and is adaptable for multiple application needs. In fact, you have multiple ways of controlling it, including bypassing the controller for direct access to each individual actuator with closed-loop control at 1kHz.
