Manipulation and Perception

Confirm arm rating, extension curve, end-effector and total-versus-active joint definition for the exact delivered revision.

Manufacturer family perception/autonomy claims do not establish exact delivered sensors or offline capability.

SDK and Integration

Application-line brochure is not a hardware/software BOM. Industrial/logistics focus, large load and long endurance are application-series claims.
