When to pick which
Choose the Coco Robotics Coco 2 for high-volume urban logistics and last-mile delivery operations where payload capacity and operational uptime are critical. It is the superior choice for grocery or retail businesses needing to transport items up to 13.6kg across city-wide environments including sidewalks and bike lanes. The robot's 5.8 m/s travel speed and swappable battery system make it ideal for multi-shift delivery cycles in dense urban areas. Unlike a stationary arm, this mobile platform is built for navigation and scale, making it the essential tool for logistics providers looking to automate food or pharmacy delivery fleets.
Opt for the Franka Robotics Franka Research 3 when your application requires high-precision manipulation, force-sensitive interaction, or academic research. With its 7 degrees of freedom and integrated torque sensors in every joint, it is specifically designed for haptics and imitation learning tasks that a mobile delivery robot cannot perform. Research institutions and R&D labs should select this arm for its 855mm reach and robust software ecosystem, including libfranka and ROS2 support. It is the standard for developers needing a sensitive, programmable manipulator for complex assembly or human-robot interaction studies within a controlled workspace.
