ZeroGantry verdict: 4 out of 5
LBR iiwa invented the modern sensitive-arm category. Torque-per-axis sensing and 7-DoF kinematics still matter when you are mating fragile connectors or assisting in medical workflows. It loses on payload and approachability to UR10e for general SME cobots — and that is fine. Spec iiwa when force control quality is the product; spec UR when time-to-first-part and integrator availability dominate.
