JAKA Pro 12

JAKA Robotics
Unverified

The JAKA Pro 12 is a 6-axis industrial collaborative robot (cobot) manufactured by JAKA Robotics (founded 2014, Shanghai), featuring a 12 kg payload, 1,327 mm reach, ±0.02 mm repeatability, and IP68/ESD protection. It is priced at approximately $43,750 USD or ~28,880 EUR (ex-VAT) and is designed for industrial automation tasks including pick-and-place, assembly, and integration with Siemens PLCs and Industry 4.0 systems. JAKA Robotics holds roughly 22% of China's domestic cobot market by units and serves customers including Toyota, Schneider Electric, Flex, and Luxshare. Several academic research papers use JAKA hardware as a test platform for advanced manipulation and VLA algorithms, though these are independent research efforts and not product features. One community fact about 'cleaning paths' appears to be misattributed from a robot vacuum discussion and is not relevant to the JAKA Pro 12.

Evidence-graded claims from the JAKA Robotics deep report

Good
  • JAKA Robotics raised a ~$150M Series D round in H1 2022, backed by Prosperity7 Ventures, SoftBank, and Temasek.

    The raise is corroborated by three independent sources — PR Newswire press release, CBInsights financial data (precise figure: $148.04M), and The Robot Report trade press — all naming the same investors and timeframe; the minor $150M vs $148.04M discrepancy is rounding only [3][4][7].

  • JAKA's cobot arms (JAKA Zu series) are used in real-world industrial and research robotics applications.

    The Robot Report (independent trade press) confirms deployment in automotive, semiconductor, and electronics industries [4], and a Reddit r/computervision community post independently mentions JAKA 6-axis robots being used in computer vision/robotics research contexts [11]; however, scale and Western market penetration remain unverified.

Bad
  • JAKA has deployed 10,000+ cobots worldwide across automotive, semiconductor, and electronics industries.

    The 10,000+ figure comes solely from JAKA's own LinkedIn company profile (a vendor/marketing channel), and the r/PLC community reports low brand awareness among Western industrial automation professionals as of December 2024, suggesting the deployments are likely concentrated in China with no independent global verification [5][12].

    from JAKA Robotics deep report →
  • JAKA filed for a CNY 750M IPO on Shanghai's STAR Market in 2023, with CNY 420M earmarked to build 50,000 units/year production capacity.

    EqualOcean news independently reported the IPO filing and the 50,000-unit capacity target [10], but no subsequent source in the dossier confirms the IPO was approved, completed, or that the production facility was built — the filing status remains unresolved.

Ugly
  • The JAKA π humanoid can walk at 1.8 m/s, run, and jump.

    These performance figures appear exclusively in a commerce/product listing on humanoid.guide (a vendor-sourced spec sheet), and no independent teardown, third-party test, journalist review, or user report has verified the walking speed, running, or jumping capability of the JAKA π [2].

    from JAKA Robotics deep report →
  • JAKA π is safe to operate alongside humans.

    Human-safety is a vendor-only claim from the humanoid.guide commerce listing (confidence 0.7 in the dossier itself), with no independent safety certification, regulator approval, or third-party test cited anywhere in the dossier [2].
