Overview
The PR1 (Personal Robot One) is a powerful and versatile mobile manipulation research platform designed for robotics development and application development. It features backdrivable, passive spring counterbalanced 7-degrees-of-freedom arms, a telescoping spine, mobile base, and onboard computers controlled together at 1 kHz for fluid whole-body motion. The robot was instrumental in jump-starting a robotics revolution and helped originate the Open Source Robot Operating System (ROS).

Detailed specifications
Sensors1
- Sensor Suite
- Pan-tilt head with two stereo cameras, Microsoft Kinect, high-resolution color camera, and two Hokuyo sensors
Safety & certifications1
- Safety Certification
- Designed to be intrinsically safe with low-backlash drivetrain, counterbalanced arms using springs, and MSI (Maximum Speed and Inertia) range indicating very low risk of serious injury compared to industrial robots.[3]
Other3
- Applications
- mobile manipulation tasks in human environments[1][2][3]
- Deployment Notes
- PR1 has been entirely superseded by the PR2. The robot pioneered concepts in the PR2 such as compliant counterbalanced arms and served as a proof-of-concept for the benefits of high reliability and performance.
- Compatible Grippers
- Simple gripper with continuous rotation wrist roll joint, 140 N grip capability, capable of hook, pinch, and cylindrical prehension typical of human grasp ability.[3]
