Notes

Kinova's company timeline lists the third generation of arms, Gen3, under 2018: “Third generation of arms: Gen3 | Medical platform launch in partnership 2018”.

In the user guide, Gen3 robots with brake configuration are listed as obsolete and no longer sold: “All Gen3 Ultra lightweight robots with brake configuration are obsolete; they are not sold.”

Kinova's user guide describes how the fixed-base arm is shipped: “For the fixed base option, the mounting plate is detached from the base when shipped and needs to be attached before mounting the robot using the mounting plate.”

Kinova's company timeline names the second generation of its arms: “Second generation of arms: Jaco (v2) / Gen2”.

On Kinova's product page, the quick-connect base accessory is described as discontinued in 2022 (“the feature was unpopular and thus was discontinued in 2022.”); the arm is offered with or without an integrated vision module (“a wrist with or without an integrated vision module”).
