Is this a cobot?


Probably not.

In https://source-robotics.github.io/PAROL-docs/page6/ it tells you it can pinch you.

It's probably relatively safe for humans though (be careful with your pets), the robot is 5kg, it move quite slowly and motors are nema 17 (the same than in a 3d printer) with a max gearbox ratio x20. In case of problem press the e-stop button if you have chosen to have one.

As far as I understand there are no encoder on the joints so it can't be back-driven, it's not a compliant robot.
