The Mobile FR3 Duo takes Franka Robotics' two-armed FR3 Duo platform and mounts it on its mobile robot, called the Tactile Mobile Robot (TMR). The official page presents it as a prototype.

Franka Robotics presents it as a reference platform. If researchers around the world use the same machine, they can pool their datasets or reuse other people's to train their models, the company says.

The mobile base brings its lidars, cameras and inertial measurement unit. The FR3 arms add their tactile sensitivity, along with vision and gripping accessories.

According to the manufacturer's data sheet, the whole machine travels at up to 1.75 m/s.
