OVERVIEW
The Kinova Gen3 (7 DOF) in detail
The Kinova Gen3 is a seven-axis lightweight arm built for research and service robotics rather than production lines. According to the manufacturer, it weighs 8.2 kg, reaches 902 mm and carries 4 kg continuously in its mid range (2 kg across the full range), with torque sensing in every actuator and infinite rotation on each joint. It runs on 24 V DC at an average of 36 W and is controlled at 1 kHz, which suits low-level control experiments.
Its usual homes are university labs, mobile manipulation platforms, teleoperation and AI research. APIs in C++, Python and MATLAB, plus ROS Noetic and ROS 2 Humble support, let teams plug it into existing stacks, and an optional vision module adds colour and Intel RealSense depth sensing. Check its limits: IP33 protection, a 50 cm/s Cartesian speed and no published repeatability, so it does not replace an industrial cobot.
Robot Distribution can source the Gen3 on request, in this 7 DOF version or the 6 DOF variant, for laboratories across Europe.
Key points
- 7 torque-sensing actuators

FAQ
Questions about the Kinova Gen3 (7 DOF)
How much does the Kinova Gen3 (7 DOF) cost?
The Kinova Gen3 (7 DOF) starts at €35,390 ex VAT for one robot in its base version, or from €1,199/month ex VAT in RaaS over 36 months. The exact price depends on the version and its options, the number of robots, delivery and commissioning on your site and training: it is set out in a written quote sent within 2 working days.
Is the Kinova Gen3 (7 DOF) supplied with an EU declaration of conformity?
Yes. Robot Distribution supplies the EU declaration of conformity with every robot it delivers in Europe. Ask for a copy with your quote and our team sends it with the other documents.
How are delivery and commissioning organised?
The delivery address, the date and the commissioning on site are set out in the written quote, according to your site and the number of robots. Our team can install the robot, map the site and train your staff.
Can I rent the Kinova Gen3 (7 DOF) or take it as RaaS?
Yes. Rental runs from 1 day to 12 months; RaaS runs from 24 to 60 months with one monthly fee that covers the robot, maintenance, software updates and a replacement robot if one fails. Both are priced in a written quote.
What after-sales service is available?
After-sales service is run from Europe: a service contract, spare parts, repairs and training can be added to a purchase, and maintenance is included in RaaS. The terms are set out in the written quote.
