About
About duAro2
Kawasaki Robotics’ duAro2 combines two horizontal articulated arms on one compact floor-mounted base. Each arm carries up to 3 kilograms and reaches 785 millimetres, allowing the pair to work independently or coordinate on one part. A 550-millimetre vertical stroke gives this model substantially more height coverage than the earlier duAro1 configuration.
Kawasaki targets the robot at assembly, screwdriving, machine tending, inspection, dispensing and material-handling work. The controller and safety system support collaborative operation after an application-specific risk assessment, while the dual-arm layout can reproduce two-handed bench tasks without installing two separate robots. duAro2 remains a distinct model within the duAro line, with its longer vertical travel defining the main mechanical boundary.

Timeline
- Kawasaki installs duAro2 temperature screening at Kobe museums
2020-06-02 - Deployment - A non-contact sensor on the right arm measures forehead temperature after a visitor activates the system. The left arm lifts an entrance barrier for an acceptable reading; otherwise a staff member is called.
