CR-35iB
FANUCThe FANUC CR-35iB is a 6-axis heavy-duty collaborative robot (cobot) manufactured by FANUC Corporation (Japan). Its primary specification is a 35 kg payload in standard collaborative mode, extendable to 50 kg in a restricted operating space mode, with a standard reach of 1831 mm (reduced to 1643 mm in 50 kg mode), ±0.03 mm repeatability, and a robot weight of 375 kg. It is designed for human-robot collaboration without safety fencing, stopping on contact, and is suited for heavy material handling, assembly, machine tending, palletizing, and similar industrial tasks. A significant number of extracted facts are irrelevant to this system (pertaining to air purifiers, handheld gaming devices, belt 3D printers, and arc welding robots), and have been excluded from the reconciled picture.

Evidence-graded claims from the FANUC deep report
FANUC industrial robots (welding, palletizing, painting, assembly, machine tending) operate fully autonomously once programmed — no human performs or drives the task during operation.
Independent community practitioners on Reddit (r/PLC, r/robotics) confirm FANUC robots run their assigned tasks independently in live production environments, consistent with the autonomy verdict (confidence 0.93); no evidence of remote human task-driving was found [16][19][20].
from FANUC deep report →FANUC's hardware is well-built, reliable, accurate, and very long-lived in real-world industrial deployments.
Independent community sources on Reddit (r/PLC) corroborate hardware reliability and longevity claims, explicitly contrasting strong hardware quality against software shortcomings [16][17][19].

FANUC is showcasing Physical AI and AI-enabled robotics, including a collaboration with Google AI for agent-powered robot operation, representing a meaningful leap in adaptive autonomy.
Evidence is limited to FANUC America's own press releases from Automate 2026 — no independent third-party testing, customer deployment data, or external validation of the AI capability claims has been identified [11][14].
from FANUC deep report →FANUC America announced a $90 million investment to construct an 840,000 sq ft robot manufacturing facility in the US (announced March 2026).
The investment announcement is confirmed by a PR Newswire press release and LinkedIn corroboration, but these are distribution channels for the company's own announcement — no independent journalist investigation, regulatory filing, or construction verification has been identified; the facility is not yet built [10][12].

FANUC robots achieve high positional accuracy in real-world deployments, consistent with advertised specifications.
Independent practitioner reports on Reddit (r/Fanuc, r/PLC) document ~0.3 mm positional error in real-world mid-range positions and express skepticism about trusting advertised performance data, indicating a gap between spec-sheet claims and field reality [18][19].
