KUKA iiwa

A 7-DOF lightweight collaborative robot arm with joint torque sensors, developed by KUKA. The iiwa (intelligent industrial work assistant) was the first industrial robot designed from the ground up for human-robot collaboration. Its impedance control mode and sensitivity make it popular for research in force-controlled manipulation and safe interaction.
