AUBO-i3
AUBO i-SeriesThe AUBO-i3 is a 6-axis collaborative robot arm manufactured by AUBO (Beijing) Robotics Technology Co., Ltd., featuring a 3 kg payload, 625 mm reach, and ±0.02–0.05 mm repeatability (with a conflict between datasheet versions). Priced at approximately €18,100 excl. VAT, it is positioned as the most compact and lightweight model in AUBO's i-series, suited for light assembly, dispensing, material handling, education, and prototyping in tight workspaces. It carries multiple safety certifications (PL=d CAT3, ISO 10218, CE, UL, KCs) and supports collaborative operation without a safety fence. As a programmable industrial cobot, it executes tasks autonomously once programmed, with no evidence of human teleoperation performing the tasks.

Evidence-graded claims from the AUBO i-Series deep report
AUBO i-Series cobots operate autonomously — executing programmed industrial tasks (assembly, welding, pick-and-place) entirely on their own once deployed, with no human performing or driving the task during operation.
ROS robots.org (independent technical registry) [6] and Reddit community discussion [14] both confirm standard industrial cobot autonomous task execution; however, no independent field audit of AUBO-specific deployments is cited in the dossier.
from AUBO i-Series deep report →AUBO i-Series cobots are priced at €18,100–€31,000 (excl. VAT) through European distributors, while community sources note comparable Chinese industrial cobots are available at $5,000–$10,000.
Distributor pricing is confirmed by Unchained Robotics listings [1]; the $5,000–$10,000 market context comes from an independent Reddit community discussion [14], though individual pricing may vary by configuration and region.

The i-Series spans payload capacities from 3 kg (i3) to 16 kg (i16), with one distributor claiming up to 20 kg for the i20 model.
The 3–16 kg range is consistent across vendor/commerce sources [4][5][8], but the 20 kg figure comes solely from distributor Revolucion [8] and is not confirmed by the primary manufacturer page; no independent payload test exists.
from AUBO i-Series deep report →The i-Series is deployed at scale across automotive, 3C electronics, medical, and logistics industries.
Target industries are consistently listed across vendor/commerce sources [4][5][8][9], but no independent customer case study, deployment count, or third-party report in the dossier substantiates actual at-scale industrial adoption.
from AUBO i-Series deep report →The i-Series carries multiple internationally recognized safety certifications including CE, UL, ISO 13849-1 PL=d CAT3, ISO/TS 15066, and SEMI S2.
Certifications are consistently cited across vendor and commerce sources [1][4][5][9], but no certification body database entry or independent audit report is referenced in the dossier to independently verify current, model-specific certification status.
from AUBO i-Series deep report →
The i16 achieves a repeatability of ±0.03 mm (per AUBO USA), while a European distributor lists the same model at ±0.1 mm — a more than 3× discrepancy that remains unresolved.
Both figures are vendor/commerce sources ([5] vs [1]); no independent metrology test confirms either value, and the conflict itself undermines confidence in the ±0.03 mm marketing claim.
from AUBO i-Series deep report →No safety fence is required for the i-Series due to its 10-level collision detection system.
This is a vendor-only marketing claim [4][5]; ISO/TS 15066 (which AUBO itself cites) mandates application-specific risk assessments, and no independent safety review confirms a blanket fence-free deployment for AUBO cobots.
