Editor's notes
Datasheet says safety 'Certification process ongoing' (EN ISO 13849-1, EN ISO 10218-1), so `collaborative` left unset. Datasheet mounting 'installed upright' -> floor/table. open_source: brochure calls libfranka 'the open-source C++ interface'. The franka.de product page itself was blocked (provenance); the product link above was not fetched. Génération Robots page showed no price. Franka also sells a Franka Production 3 (industrial) and 'FR3 Duo' bundle (reseller titles only, not verified).
