AUBO-i10 - Welding Package

AUBO Robotics
Unverified

The AUBO-i10 Welding Package is a 6-axis collaborative robot arm with 10 kg payload and 1350 mm reach, manufactured by AUBO (Beijing) Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. and sold in the US via AUBO-USA. The welding-specific configuration — most prominently the SwitchWeld Navigator system — integrates the cobot with welding power sources, a 3-button positioning puck, and auto weld-schedule software, enabling operators with minimal cobot experience to program and execute welding tasks autonomously once set up. Independent community reviews confirm functional parity with UR10 at lower cost, but note software/joint-limit inconveniences, mediocre documentation, and a kinematics configuration bug in the controller. The robot executes programmed weld paths without a human performing the weld itself, qualifying it as Autonomous for its welding task, though human setup, teach-in, and periodic maintenance are required.

Evidence-graded claims from the AUBO Robotics deep report

Good
  • AUBO i-series cobots execute industrial tasks (palletizing, assembly, pick-and-place, welding) fully autonomously once programmed, with no human teleoperation performing the tasks.

    Multiple independent commerce listings (Unchained Robotics [1], EFPIA [3], TSI Solutions [9]) and a JETRO government report [8] describe standard programmed cobot operation; no source indicates human teleoperation of tasks, though long-term reliability data from independent end-users is absent.

    from AUBO Robotics deep report →
  • AUBO i-series cobots cover a payload range of 3–20 kg (i3 through i20) with reach from 625 mm to 1650 mm.

    Independent commerce listing from Unchained Robotics [1] explicitly details the i20 at 20 kg payload and 1650 mm reach, corroborating the full range; however, AUBO's own vendor website reportedly lists only up to 16 kg, suggesting possible product-line documentation lag.

    from AUBO Robotics deep report →
  • AUBO has established a genuine US commercial presence with warehouse, service, and training infrastructure in Detroit, supported by multiple distribution partners.

    An independent business news report confirms the Kundinger Inc. distribution partnership [6], JETRO confirms the 2024 Japan subsidiary [8], and EFPIA's commerce listing independently references Detroit warehouse/service/training operations [3]; however, the scale of US sales volume remains unverified.

Bad
  • AUBO cobots achieve a repeatability of ±0.05 mm (i3, i5) and ±0.1 mm (i10, i16, i20).

    Repeatability figures come from commerce spec sheets [1][2], which are distributor/reseller listings rather than independent laboratory or third-party benchmark tests, so the specs remain unverified by a neutral party.

    from AUBO Robotics deep report →
  • AUBO cobots are deployed across diverse industries including automotive, 3C electronics, medical/health, logistics, and catering.

    Industry deployment claims are consistent across vendor and distributor sources [3][4][9], but no independent customer case study, third-party audit, or journalist report confirms actual at-scale deployment in any specific sector.

    from AUBO Robotics deep report →
  • AUBO is a national standards setter for collaborative robots in China.

    This claim appears only on AUBO's own vendor materials [4] and is not corroborated by any independent regulatory body, standards organization publication, or third-party news report.

    from AUBO Robotics deep report →
  • AUBO i-series cobots are competitively priced versus Western cobots, listed at ~$15,000 USD per set (i5) and €18,100–€31,000 in Europe, with Chinese cobots broadly available in the $5,000–$10,000 range.

    The $15,000 i5 price is from a commerce listing [2] and the €18,100–€31,000 range from Unchained Robotics [1] (both resellers, not AUBO directly); the $5,000–$10,000 figure is a Reddit community generalization about Chinese cobots broadly [14], not specific to AUBO, leaving the true street price unverified.
