Unitree D2
The Unitree D2 is a robot arm of 5.9 kg with 7 degrees of freedom and a gripper, intended for research and outdoor use.
The D2 is an all-metal robot arm with an arm length of 633 mm and a gripper working radius of 780 mm. According to Unitree it weighs 5.9 kg and has 7 degrees of freedom plus a gripper, with a supply voltage of 36 to 58 V. The arm can be mounted vertically, on its side, hanging or on a mobile platform and can work together with a second arm. The payload is contradictory on the page (3 kg in the table and 5 kg in the description) and is therefore not included as a specification. According to a footnote, the A2 does not support high-speed motions with two arms at the same time. Availability in the Netherlands is not confirmed.

Notable facts about D2, its manufacturer and this type of robot
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.
