We are actively building out the community hardware registry for 6-DOF force-controlled manipulators capable of running 500 Hz haptic loops.
Target Benchtop Manipulators & Specifications:
1. Galaxea A1Z (Force-Controlled 6-DOF)
-
Payload: 3.0 kg rated (5.0 kg peak).
-
Communication Interface: CAN Bus.
-
Integration Status: Primary Hardware Target (In Progress). Force-controlled planetary gear motors match our active variable impedance (Kp/Kd) control specification. Physical benchtop bring-up and verification are scheduled.
2. Unitree Z1
-
Payload: 3.5 kg.
-
Communication Interface: Direct UDP / CAN.
-
Integration Status: Kinematically Mapped. Low-latency control socket specifications map cleanly to
public/ros2_bridge_node.py.
To submit custom URDF files, sensor pinouts, or hardware specifications to the official registry, contact developer relations at dev@christensonrobotics.com or submit an inquiry via christensonrobotics.com.
