RB-Y2
Rainbow RoboticsThe RB-Y1 is a bimanual mobile manipulator developed by Rainbow Robotics (South Korea, KRX: 277810, with Samsung Electronics as largest shareholder at up to 35%). It features two 7-DOF arms on a 6-DOF wheeled (Mecanum) base, totaling 24 DOF across a 131 kg platform, with LiDAR-based autonomous navigation, sub-millimeter repeatability, and 3 kg payload per arm. It is explicitly positioned as an AI research and development platform — not a turnkey autonomous solution — with ROS/ROS2 integration and a full SDK, priced at $80,000 (research) or $120,000 (commercial). The system's autonomy level is best characterized as a research platform whose autonomous capabilities are user-defined and task-dependent, with the base navigation being autonomous but manipulation tasks requiring user-developed AI/software.

Evidence-graded claims from the Rainbow Robotics deep report
Samsung Electronics has become Rainbow Robotics' largest shareholder with ~35% stake, with a stated goal of accelerating intelligent humanoid development for manufacturing and logistics.
Samsung's own official newsroom press release [8] confirms the ~35% stake (via call option exercise on top of an initial 14.7% stake acquired for KRW 86.8 billion in 2023) and explicitly states the manufacturing/logistics humanoid development goal — this is a first-party Samsung source, not Rainbow Robotics PR.
from Rainbow Robotics deep report →RB Series cobots are deployed in real-world manufacturing applications (machine loading, assembly, food & beverage) and are CE-certified and commercially available through European distributors.
European distributor site [6] independently confirms CE certification, commercial availability, and specific use cases (machine loading, assembly, recurring manufacturing operations), providing third-party corroboration beyond vendor PR.

RB-Y1 is commercially available at $80,000 USD (research) / $120,000 USD (commercial), with sequential deliveries starting October 2024.
Pricing and delivery timeline are confirmed by trade press [4] citing the official pre-order announcement, but no independent source has verified that deliveries actually commenced on schedule or at what volume.
from Rainbow Robotics deep report →Rainbow Robotics has a trilateral strategic partnership with Schaeffler and KETI for AI-mobile dual-arm robotics, and a separate collaboration for laparoscopic cholecystectomy preclinical trials.
PR Newswire [7] and the official site [1] confirm both partnerships were announced, but these are press-release-level disclosures with no independent reporting on partnership outcomes, milestones achieved, or clinical trial results.
