FAIRINO ART7 Review: Specs, Price and Applications of the Dual-Arm Humanoid Robot
Updated: 7 days ago
The FAIRINO ART7 is a dual-arm humanoid robot built from two 7-axis arms on a torso, each with a 7 kg payload, a 714 mm reach and ±0.03 mm repeatability, listed at USD 22,700 for the complete system. This review covers its specifications, design, software, applications and price, so you can decide whether it fits your project.
Quick Verdict
The ART7 is FAIRINO's platform for dual-arm manipulation and physical AI. Torque sensing and force control in every joint, a crossed-wrist layout, an open architecture and ROS 2 support make it a research and development tool first, and a production machine for two-handed assembly and machine tending second. Its component pricing lets teams buy arms, torso and controllers separately.

Design and Build Quality
The ART7 is assembled from five components: a left arm, a right arm, a torso, a master controller and a repeater controller that is required for dual-arm operation. Each arm has seven rotational joints, which gives it a redundant degree of freedom so the elbow can move around obstacles while the hand stays in place.
Full-Joint Force Control
Every joint carries a torque sensor, so the whole arm, not only the wrist, can sense and control contact forces. FAIRINO specifies a force control accuracy of 0.15 N and 0.1 N·m, with a sensor overload capacity of 300% of full scale.
Crossed Wrists and Brakes
The arms use a crossed-wrist layout and have brakes on all joints, so they hold position when power is removed. Noise stays below 65 dB, and the arms can be mounted in any orientation.
Programming and Software
Open Architecture and ROS 2
The ART7 is built as an open platform with ROS 2 support. Developers can integrate their own perception, planning and learning software, which is the main reason it is positioned for physical AI work.
Controllers
The system runs from a FAIRINO master controller, with a repeater controller added to coordinate the second arm. The arms are powered from a DC 48 V supply, which also suits mobile and battery-powered bases.
FAIRINO ART7 Applications and Use Cases
Physical AI and Robot Learning
Two force-controlled 7-axis arms on a torso give research teams a humanoid upper body for collecting manipulation data, training policies and testing them on real hardware.
Humanoid Robot Development
Because arms, torso and controllers are sold as separate components, the ART7 can serve as the upper body of a custom humanoid or be mounted on a mobile base.
Dual-Arm Assembly and Machine Tending
Two arms can hold a part with one hand and work on it with the other, or load and unload a machine in a single motion. Full-joint force control helps with insertion and fitting tasks that need a controlled touch.

Pros and Cons
Pros
Two 7-axis arms with torque sensing in every joint
Force control accuracy of 0.15 N and 0.1 N·m
Open architecture with ROS 2 support
Component pricing: arms, torso and controllers listed separately
DC 48 V power input
Cons
714 mm reach per arm limits the working envelope
Aimed at developers; it needs software integration work before production use
Grippers or hands are not part of the listed system
Who Should Buy the FAIRINO ART7?
The ART7 fits universities, AI labs and robotics companies that need a force-controlled dual-arm platform with open software, and manufacturers exploring two-handed assembly. For conventional single-arm automation, a 6-axis FR series cobot such as the FR5 or FR10 is simpler and costs less.
