The new robot has a highly flexible arm with seven degrees of freedom and a hand with three fingers. This allows it to pick up bottles, cups and similar objects and to operate machines. Force sensors prevent it from gripping too hard. The arm and the grippers were developed by Schunk. A tray is mounted at the front of the robot, on which it can carry items such as the requested cup of coffee. Integrated in the tray is a touch screen via which the assistant can be controlled.
