Bring industrial collaborative robotics into your classroom, training center, university, or research lab with the FANUC CRX Series. CRX collaborative robots combine intuitive programming, flexible deployment, and FANUC reliability in a platform designed for education, research, and modern automation applications.
Students can begin with lead-through teaching and the Tablet Teach Pendant, then progress to robot programming, vision, end-of-arm tooling, automation integration, simulation, and advanced ROS 2 and Python application development.
FANUC automation systems are widely used throughout modern manufacturing. Training with FANUC robots helps students build practical experience with industrial hardware, software, programming methods, safety concepts, and automation workflows they may encounter in the workplace.
CRX also provides an accessible path from introductory collaborative robot operation to advanced work in mechatronics, engineering technology, computer science, artificial intelligence, and autonomous robotics.
The CRX family includes compact cobots for light handling and laboratory projects as well as extended-reach and higher-payload models for demanding automation applications.

Available models, controllers, software options, power requirements, and education-package configurations may vary. Contact Tech-Labs to identify the appropriate system for your program.
Sensitive contact detection and collaborative safety functions help support properly designed and risk-assessed applications where robots operate near people.
FANUC’s industrial engineering, reliability, and support provide a platform students can continue using as their skills advance.
Compact construction and multiple mounting options help instructors integrate CRX robots into classrooms, mobile training stations, manufacturing labs, and university research environments.
Controller, electrical, mounting, and safety requirements depend on the selected CRX model and application.
Users can teach robot positions through lead-through operation and develop applications with FANUC’s Tablet Teach Pendant and intuitive drag-and-drop interface.
Available capabilities include FANUC iRVision, compatible end-of-arm tooling, simulation, external software integration, and advanced robot control.
Supported FANUC CRX robots can be configured for advanced university instruction and research using ROS 2, Python, C++, MoveIt 2, RViz, simulation, external sensors, and compatible robot-control software.
These capabilities allow students and researchers to explore autonomous manipulation, perception, motion planning, artificial intelligence, and the connection between open-source robotics tools and an industrial FANUC platform.
Explore the FANUC CRX ROS 2 and Python Bundle.
Physical ROS 2 control requires compatible FANUC controller software, external-control options, a supported computer and operating system, and appropriate network and safety configuration. Python applications generally run on the external ROS 2 computer rather than directly on the robot controller.
Tech-Labs can help schools, colleges, universities, and workforce programs select a CRX robot, education package, software configuration, curriculum, and instructor-training plan.
