Key facts
- Official page: 165 cm x 53 cm x 73 cm; the datasheet gives depth as 75 cm (page and datasheet differ by 2 cm).
- DoF from the datasheet table: head 2 + mobile base 2 + 2 x 5-DoF arms = 14; hands are not counted.
- Battery 24 V / 40 Ah (optional 60 Ah) per datasheet; 960 Wh is 24 V x 40 Ah, computed here, not published. Runtime stated as 8-12 hours.
- Display and audio: 10.1-inch 1200x800 capacitive touchscreen, 2 LCD eyes, LED rings in ears and back, 2 x 30 W Hi-Fi speakers, WiFi 802.11ax, Gigabit Ethernet.
- Free simulation model and tutorials are published at wiki.ros.org/Robots/ARI.
- Official page lists optional NVIDIA Jetson, RGB-D and thermal cameras and an extra battery charger as accessories.
- open_source is false: the datasheet only offers free simulation and tutorials on wiki.ros.org and does not state a software licence.
