Kawasaki Robotics duAro
The Kawasaki duAro is a dual-arm SCARA robot on a single axis that works alongside people.
According to Kawasaki the duAro is the first dual-arm SCARA robot operating on a single axis. Both arms can work in a coordinated way and carry a larger workpiece together. The manufacturer states 2 kg payload per arm for the duAro1 (reach 760 mm) and 3 kg for the duAro2 (reach 785 mm). The robot is meant for material handling, assembly, machine tending and dispensing at a single workstation without changing the line. Direct hand-guided teaching is possible. Safety follows from low motor power, soft covering and monitoring of the shared work zone.

Notable facts about duAro, its manufacturer and this type of robot
The duAro comes in 2 models, with a payload from 2 kg per arm to 3 kg.
The first commercially sold cobot was a UR5 from Universal Robots, in December 2008.
Source: Universal Robots, company historyA cobot's payload includes the gripper. A 1 kg gripper on a 5 kg cobot leaves 4 kg for the product.
The safety rules for cobots are set out in ISO 10218 and ISO/TS 15066. The latter gives limit values for contact force per body part.
