Dual Franka FR3

Franka Robotics

Community

A stationary bimanual research platform composed of two 7-DoF Franka Research 3 (FR3) torque-controlled arms mounted on a shared frame. A recognized robot-learning configuration for force-aware imitation and precise teleoperation, built on Franka's torque sensing, impedance/compliance control, and the Franka Control Interface (FCI).

~ $60,000estimate

Estimate: two FR3 arms (~$25-30k each) plus a dual-arm frame; no single published price, arms are sold individually.

Overview

The Dual Franka FR3 is a composed bimanual platform pairing two Franka Research 3 arms on a shared stationary frame. Each FR3 provides 7 degrees of freedom, integrated joint torque sensors, and impedance/compliance control, exposed for real-time research via the Franka Control Interface (FCI), libfranka, and franka_ros/franka_ros2. The configuration is widely used in robot-learning labs for force-aware imitation learning and precise bimanual teleoperation (e.g. OpenTeach-style pipelines). It is not a single vendor SKU but a recognized research rig built from two catalog FR3 arms.
