YuMi
YuMi is the world's first truly collaborative dual-arm industrial robot by ABB, designed for safe human-robot interaction without fences or barriers. Featuring two lightweight 7-axis arms with 559 mm reach and 0.5 kg payload per arm, it excels in small parts assembly for consumer electronics, consumer goods, and SMEs. Padded arms, integrated grippers with cameras, and lead-through programming enable precise, flexible operations like pick-and-place, sorting unsorted parts, and high-speed cycles (0.86s for 25x300x25mm). Powered by OmniCore or IRC5 controller, it supports easy integration via Ethernet, offers 0.02 mm repeatability, and mimics human dexterity for agile tasks. Versatile mounting and collision-free paths enhance productivity in collaborative environments, combining human adaptability with robotic precision.
