This paper introduces BAZAR, a collaborative robot that integrates the most advanced sensing and actuating devices in a unique system designed for the Industry 4.0. We present BAZAR's three main features, which are all paramount in the factory of the future. These features are: mobility for navigating in dynamic environments, interaction for operating side-by-side with human workers and dual arm manipulation for transporting and assembling bulky objects.
