It has 14 joints: a telescopic left arm with 4, a right arm with 7, and a three-finger gripper. Battery life is 2 to 3 hours of active use.","The arm can be detached and mounted on a desk as a stationary assistant. A Physical Space Safety system fuses several sensors to avoid collisions.","Origin of Bots lists different figures (155 cm, 45 kg, 16 DoF, 3 kg payload) and flags them as unverified. The catalog values (165 cm, 48 kg, 24 DoF) are not confirmed by the manufacturer."]},{"h":"Software and AI","p":["Sean is controlled by voice, through a mobile app or remotely.
