Yaskawa Motoman SDA Dual-Arm Robots
A distinctive approach to assembly and handling when one arm must support or reorient the work while the other acts. The benefit comes from coordinated task design, with load sharing and recovery treated explicitly. Consider coordinated assembly, tray handling, part reorientation and tasks where two independently controlled arms solve a defined fixturing problem.

Review Highlights
Strengths: Two seven-axis arms with common base; Several per-arm load classes; Coordinated manipulation potential.
Key considerations: Combined capacity is task-specific; Fifteen-axis recovery requires deliberate programming.
Test arm-to-arm clearance, actual load sharing, process stiffness and safe recovery after one arm loses grip or an interrupted coordinated motion.
