Or give your AI the task in words. The prompt names the tools and the exact commands.

You have the MouseMouse MCP server (lucen-mcp) configured against https://api.mousemouse.ai.
Work with the robot repo lucen/franka-fr3 on that hub.
1. Read its card with get_robot_card(owner, repo) and its policies with search_repos(kind="model", robot="lucen/franka-fr3").
2. To train for it, submit a run with submit_training using template ppo_mujoco and robot "lucen/franka-fr3" (the CLI equivalent is: lucen runs create --template ppo_mujoco --robot lucen/franka-fr3 --executor worker).
3. Never start, stop or steer a robot: a handoff is request_deploy, and a person approves it in the Inbox.

Franka Research 3

Franka Research 3 is an arm with 7 joints, made by Franka Robotics. This model comes from MuJoCo Menagerie by Google DeepMind, under the Apache-2.0 licence. The licence text is in LICENSE.

Not made by Lucen Robotics. Listed as a reference model for simulation.

The source's own README is kept unchanged as SOURCE_README.md.

How it was set up

The files come from franka_fr3 in MuJoCo Menagerie, at commit 822c2d8. The robot card was drafted from the model by lucen robot init, as in Add your robot.

The model file does not state the values below. Each one comes from the source beside it.

SettingValueWhere it comes from
Control rate50 HzPlayground franka_emika_panda/pick.py ctrl_dt=0.02 (the Panda, the FR3's predecessor); the FR3's own FCI loop runs at 1 kHz (a starting point)
Actionjoint position targetjoint-position targets (FCI's joint position interface)
What a policy sensesjoint positions, joint velocitiesthe FR3's joint encoders
Commandjoint targetsa fixed-base arm commanded in joint space
Everything elseread from the model filejoint order, the home keyframe, and per-joint kp/kv and force limits from the MJCF's own <position> actuators.

A value marked as a starting point is not the maker's own. The checks on the robot page show how it behaves.

The configs cited above, at the commits read:

  • Playground: MuJoCo Playground, commit 4057c14. Each robot's task file, under locomotion or manipulation, in its default_config().

No file from the source was changed. This README, the robot card and the robot's pictures are new.
