AUBO-i5
AUBO i-SeriesThe AUBO-i5 is a 6-axis collaborative robot arm with a 5 kg payload capacity and 886.5 mm reach, weighing approximately 24 kg (robot arm) and priced around €18,600 in Europe or ~$65,000 USD. It features open-source SDKs (C, C++, C#, Lua, Python), ROS support, drag-and-drop teach pendant programming, and safety certifications including PL=d CAT3, ISO 10218, CE, UL, and others, enabling fenceless human-robot collaboration. As an industrial cobot, it executes programmed tasks autonomously once deployed, with humans responsible for setup, programming, and maintenance but not for performing the tasks themselves during operation.

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.
