10 Of The World's Most Incredible Robotic Arms -

Whether you need help with everyday chores, assembly or even construction work, there’s a robotic arm that can do it for you.

Have you always dreamt of having a little helper in the kitchen to chop an onion and stir a stew for you? Or perhaps you have bigger plans, like building a house, and need some help laying bricks?

While robotic arms were initially designed for use in mass production industries, they are starting to make their way into households and small businesses, performing monotonous everyday tasks.

As technology advances, robotic arms have become even more versatile and the number of tasks they can perform continues to increase.

Now TradeMachines, the meta search engine for used machinery, has put together a list of the most incredible robotic arms on the market today.

Hadrian X – The Builder

Fully automated bricklaying machine, Hadrian X is a construction robot able to successfully complete a 180-square-metre house within 3 days. Hadrian X is not only four times faster than any man but also tireless. It lays 1000 bricks per hour and can work 24 hours a day.
KUKA LBR iiwa – The Sensitive

KUKA LBR iiwa is designed for human-robot collaboration and perfect for delicate assembly work. The “sensitive” robot performs accurately monotonous tasks that require a high level of precision, such as in automotive engineering or medical technology.
IRB 1660 ID – The Operator

Pioneer in Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining, this jointed-arm robot delivers high performance in arc welding and machine tending. It’s extremely precise and performs fast point-to-point movements.
KUKA KR AGILUS – The Perfectionist

Master of speed and precision, KUKA belongs to a family of small robots. It’s extremely versatile – the robot can work in the toughest conditions, like moisture, water, or dust. Whether it’s installed on the floor, wall or ceiling, it can do wonders with maximum speed.
YASKAWA Motoman YMR12 – The Japanese

Native Japanese robot YASKAWA Motoman YMR12 is a combination of a MOTOMAN robot and a mobile platform with an autonomous path planning function. It is suitable for logistic applications, material handling and assembling.
Dobot CR6-5 – The Barista

A skilled coffee making professional, this versatile and cost-effective 6-axis robotic arm could make your life a lot easier. The intelligent, self-learning robot will help you with many tasks ranging from brewing your coffee to packaging work, categorising and working in a lab setting. Thanks to its grippers, it can pick up and handle many objects of different shapes.
Dobot M 1 Scara – The Replicant

Automation specialist DOBOT M1 Scara is fast, agile and accurate and has a high load capacity of 1.5 kg despite its own weight of 20 kg. It can be equipped with accessories such as grippers, suction cups, dispensers, soldering tools and many more. Thanks to the versatile accessories, DOBOT M1 Scara can be used to automate numerous processes with little effort.
Cobot UR3e – The Elegant

Thanks to its force-torque sensor, Cobot UR3e is very sensitive. This enables it to carry out even the most difficult and delicate tasks with the greatest sensitivity. Cobot UR3e will deliver maximum productivity 24 hours a day, 365 days a year without any complaints.
Meca500 – The Tiny

An assistant that will fit anywhere, Meca500 fits perfectly on the palm of your hand and is the smallest robotic arm in the world. Designed as an automation component rather than a stand-alone machine, it can be connected to a programmable logic controller (PLC) or industrial PC. However, its field of application extends far beyond mechanical engineering, assembly lines and medical equipment. It will work side by side with a goldsmith on jewellery or a watchmaker on watches.
Niryo One – The Chef

The miniature Niryo One was designed primarily as a kitchen attendant for hobbyists, schools, educational institutions and small businesses. It will assist you with cleaning up, screw tightening and cooking. In no time at all, it will stir a soup or mix vegetables into rice.
