Sensitive robotics -- A new era in industrial robotics is beginning. 40 years after the first industrial robot was used, KUKA is opening a new chapter in the history of industrial robotics with the LBR iiwa. "LBR" stands for "Leichtbauroboter" (German for lightweight robot), "iiwa" for "intelligent industrial work assistant". As the first series-produced sensitive robot suitable for HRC, the LBR iiwa is opening up new areas that were previously closed to automation.
KUKA Product Manager Christian Felkel is talking about the first robot for human-robot collaboration, the LBR iiwa, at AUTOMATICA 2014 in Munich, Germany.

KUKA's sensitive LBR iiwa showing its ability to interactive assembly, utilizing its joint torque sensors for gesture control.
Thanks to its sensitivity, KUKA's LBR iiwa can assemble non-rigid parts in human-robot collaboration or independently.
With KUKA's sensitive LBR iiwa, you can combine processes with and without human-robot contact and run them at different speeds and forces.
KUKA's sensitive LBR iiwa can be tought in the easist possible way - by demonstration. In its interaction with the human it is at the same time safe and precise
KUKA's LBR iiwa can handle imprecisely positioned parts in close cooperation with the worker thanks to its sensitive features.
The sensitive sensors of the LBR iiwa allow it to stops its movements before any damage happens
+ High motion performance Compensation for inaccuracy
+ Identical program: Adaptability for inaccurately defined and variable tasks
+ Null Space Motion
+ Null Space Compliance
The newly developed Automated Item Pick workstation, unveiled in Hannover, has made the vision a reality. Perfectly suited for industrial applications, the concept combines two automated storage and picking systems from Swisslog, CarryPick and AutoStore, with KUKA’s collaborative lightweight robot, LBR iiwa, to create the first-ever interactive human-robot picking station.
