AgiBot OmniPicker 3 Industrial Robot Gripper

The AgiBot OmniPicker 3 Industrial Robot Gripper is a two-finger end effector for automated handling, assembly, sorting and manipulation research. AGIBOT positions it as the successor to OP1, combining a maximum gripping force of 140 N with built-in tactile sensing, force-control algorithms and IP65 protection. The compact gripper weighs less than 800 g and is designed for applications that need controlled contact as well as mechanical strength.

Overview

OmniPicker 3 connects a robot's motion system to the object being manipulated. Unlike a complete robot arm or humanoid platform, it performs the gripping task at the end of a compatible system. Its two-finger arrangement suits operations where an object can be held between opposed contact surfaces, while tactile feedback supports adjustment of the grip during contact.

The manufacturer identifies handling, assembly, sorting and inspection among its industrial applications. Examples include electronics, automotive components and food packaging. These are application categories rather than a claim of food-contact certification, universal compatibility or suitability for every component. Finger geometry, object characteristics and the surrounding robot installation still need to be considered when selecting a configuration.

Mechanical Design and Durability

The OmniPicker 3 uses a one-piece die-cast aluminum-alloy body and alloy-steel gears. AGIBOT describes the steel gears as replacing the plastic gears used in OP1, with the design validated through one million full-load cycles. This is a manufacturer validation statement, not a promise that every installation will achieve an identical service life regardless of environment, duty cycle or maintenance.

The published maximum gripping force is 140 N. The rated payload is 3 kg, while the stated maximum payload is 5 kg. These values are distinct: a maximum payload should not be substituted for the rated operating value when planning a task. Object shape, surface friction, acceleration and finger configuration should be reviewed as part of the application assessment.

Tactile Sensing and Force Control

Built-in fingertip tactile sensing provides a published force resolution of 0.1 N. AGIBOT describes the sensing and control algorithms as supporting constant-force gripping and gentle handling of standard, irregular and delicate objects. Force resolution describes the fineness of the sensing measurement; it should not be treated as a guaranteed absolute gripping-force accuracy.

Contact-aware manipulation is particularly relevant when a task involves objects that vary in shape or should not be excessively compressed. The appropriate force setting depends on the object and the required hold. A trial with representative parts helps establish whether the selected fingers and control strategy provide suitable retention without unacceptable marking or deformation.

Motion and Positioning Specifications

The maximum stroke is specified as 110 +/- 5 mm. Opening or closing over a 0-60 mm stroke takes 0.4 seconds according to the published specification. That timing applies to the stated travel range and should not be read as the duration of a complete robot pick-and-place cycle, which also depends on approach, transport and release motions.

Positioning repeatability is specified as +/-0.1 mm. Repeatability indicates consistency when returning to a position; it is not the same as a complete robot system's absolute positioning accuracy. The manufacturer also describes a symmetric transmission for synchronized finger motion and quick-change fingers that can be changed in 10 seconds. Tooling and integration requirements should be confirmed for the proposed task.

Communication and Development

OmniPicker 3 supports CAN FD and RS485 communication interfaces. The official page states that CAN FD communication can offer latency as low as 1 ms and that software development kits for multiple programming languages support custom development and integration. Actual communication behavior depends on the controller, bus configuration and system design.

For embodied-AI and research workflows, AGIBOT identifies native UMI compatibility and support for optional depth or fisheye cameras. These options are intended for manipulation data collection and training. The optional cameras are not included in the standard packing list, and their availability, interfaces and mounting arrangements should be confirmed separately before ordering.

Protection and Integration

The published protection rating is IP65. This rating should be evaluated against the specific installation conditions and should not be interpreted as approval for immersion, hazardous locations or every cleaning process. The complete robot system may have different protection requirements from the gripper itself.

Before deployment, confirm the mechanical mount, electrical supply, communication setup, controller support and required finger design. No universal plug-and-play compatibility with all robot arms or humanoids is implied. A successful integration includes suitable motion limits, operating procedures and a risk assessment for the complete installation.

Standard Package and Availability

The official standard package lists one OmniPicker 3, a power and communication cable, an accessory kit and a product certificate. Optional depth or fisheye cameras are not part of this standard package. Request a quotation from RobotsUSA to confirm the supplied configuration, pricing, delivery details and any integration accessories required for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AgiBot OmniPicker 3?

It is an industrial two-finger robot gripper with tactile sensing, force control and IP65 protection. It is an end effector, not a complete robot or arm.

How does OmniPicker 3 handle delicate objects?

The manufacturer describes fingertip tactile sensing and force-control algorithms that support controlled gripping. Suitability must be evaluated using the actual object, fingers and task conditions.

What is its payload capacity?

The official specification gives a rated payload of 3 kg and a maximum payload of 5 kg. Both should be considered during task planning rather than treating the maximum as the normal rated load.

Which communication interfaces are supported?

OmniPicker 3 supports CAN FD and RS485. Controller compatibility and the required software interface should be confirmed before integration.

Are cameras included?

No. Depth and fisheye cameras are described as optional, and the manufacturer expressly excludes them from the standard packing list.

Where can I buy OmniPicker 3 in the United States?

Contact RobotsUSA for an OmniPicker 3 quotation. Include the intended robot platform, objects to be handled and integration requirements so the configuration can be reviewed.

Summary

The AgiBot OmniPicker 3 brings high-force two-finger gripping, tactile feedback and industrial protection into a compact end effector. Its combination of published mechanical specifications and development interfaces makes it a candidate for industrial manipulation and embodied-AI research, with final suitability determined by the complete application.
