Against the field

Each strip holds every robot of this type in the guide that states the figure, one bar per group of values. Further right means a larger figure, not a better robot. A taller bar means more robots in that group.

Fingertip force

0–10N

38 robot hands state a fingertip force

B06

B06 states a range, not one figure, so it is shown as a band and not ranked against the others. 12 state only a bound (≥ or ≤) and are not ranked. DG-5F-M lies beyond the end of the axis and is drawn at its edge as an open bar.

Weight
