JAKA Zu 7 - Welding Package
JAKA RoboticsThe JAKA Zu 7 is a 6-axis collaborative robot (cobot) manufactured by JAKA Robotics (China, founded 2014), featuring a 7 kg payload, 819 mm reach, ±0.02 mm repeatability, and IP44/IP68 ratings (conflicting across sources). The 'Welding Package' configuration pairs the Zu 7 arm with welding equipment (e.g., Megment TIG/MIG/MAG welder) and optionally an external-axis rail system with arc tracking for real-time path correction. Academic research using the JAKA Zu 7 platform demonstrates autonomous welding path planning via 3D point cloud scanning, seam detection, and trajectory generation — with the robot executing welding tasks without a human performing the weld itself. Pricing varies significantly by region and channel, ranging from approximately €19,000 to $32,000 USD for the base robot alone.

Evidence-graded claims from the JAKA Robotics deep report
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].
from JAKA Robotics deep report →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.

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.

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].
