Weight
7.2 kg7.2 kg applies to the 6-DoF arm; Kinova states 8.2 kg for the 7-DoF arm. The controller is embedded in the base, so no separate control box weight applies.
Rated payload
2 kgFull-range continuous payload, identical for the 6-DoF and 7-DoF arms. Kinova's footnotes state this is measured without a gripper and in motion. Kinova publishes a second, higher figure of 4.0 kg for mid-range continuous operation, which is not recorded here because the two conditions cannot be distinguished with the permitted qualification keys.
Degrees of freedom
6 axesThe Gen3 is sold in two configurations; this records the 6-DoF base variant, and Kinova states 7 DoF for the other.
ROS 2
YesKinova names ROS 2 Humble specifically.
Python SDK
YesPython is listed as a supported language for the KORTEX API. Kinova does not use the word SDK on this sheet.
