Industrial robot powerhouse KUKA Robotics engineers have finally finished developing their new Light -Weight Robot (LWR) which is now officially on sale. Don’t ask me for the price because I don’t know. The LWR is a very capable robot that will find many uses in industrial applications and research laboratories.
According to the information that KUKA released about the LWR, some of its features include precise position, torque, and impedance control; torque sensors in every one of 7 axes; smart and safety conscious design; low weight (about 15 kg); and low power consumption. The robot has a nominal 7 kg payload. The KUKA LWR also comes with all the necessary software so that it can be programmed with ease. Moreover, an engineer can teach it to perform a repetitive task simply by demonstration, i.e., by moving the robot manually through each step of the task in the correct order.
The video below shows a demonstration of the KUKA LWR climbing up and down a ladder with ease.
