  Agile Robot Arm

The Yobotics! Agile Robot Arm is a 7 degree-of-freedom force-controllable robot arm.  It has a 2 degrees of freedom at the shoulder, 1 at the elbow, 3 at the wrist, and a gripper which opens and closes.  Since Series Elastic Actuators are used at each joint, the robot is strong and dexterous, and can safely interact with people. 

The MIT Media Lab is currently using one of the Agile Robot Arms, as Ripley, their platform for embodied language understanding.
