Care-O-bot 4

The Care-O-bot 4 price is normally available by project quote rather than as one fixed global list price. The final cost can depend on robot configuration, controller or charging hardware, software, accessories, integration, installation, training, shipping, taxes, warranty and regional support. Fraunhofer offers customer-specific systems and services by detailed quotation; Care-O-bot 4 is not presented as a fixed-price retail product.

This is why two proposals for the same robot can have very different totals: one may cover only the base hardware, while another includes the controller, tooling, software, commissioning, training, travel, safety work and ongoing support. For a serious buyer, the better comparison is the total delivered and deployed cost for the exact application.

You can request a Care-O-bot 4 quote through Anton Robots to compare the robot package, delivery assumptions, integration scope, warranty and support before purchasing. Compare the Care-O-bot 4 against at least one alternative using the same payload, workspace, duty cycle, software, safety, service and landed-cost assumptions. A technically suitable robot can still be the wrong purchase when integration or regional support is weak.

You can buy, order or request the Care-O-bot 4 through Anton Robots. We help buyers check the correct commercial route, compare the available package, understand what is included and decide whether the robot fits the intended application. Fraunhofer IPA invites research and application partners to contact the institute for a detailed offer and customised Care-O-bot platform. Before ordering, confirm the selected base, torso, head, arm, gripper, sensor ring, computers, software stack, ROS support, charging system, safety functions, integration, training and service.

This matters because the same model name can refer to different controllers, software licences, service plans, regional configurations, accessories or integration scopes. For businesses, universities, construction teams, laboratories or specialist buyers, choosing the correct supported package is more important than finding the lowest isolated price.

To start, request a Care-O-bot 4 quote or buying review through Anton Robots and compare price, configuration, availability, delivery and after-sales support. Anton Robots should capture transactional search intent while keeping the route accurate: compare the supported configuration, request a detailed quote and confirm the seller responsible for delivery, commissioning, warranty and technical support.

You can find the Care-O-bot 4 for sale through the manufacturer, authorised commercial channels and specialist robot marketplaces such as Anton Robots, subject to region and configuration. Finding a listing is only the first step. The important part is verifying the exact model, package and support scope. A lower advertised amount may exclude custom sensors, application development, site integration, software engineering, safety validation, training, travel, freight and ongoing research support.

Professional buyers should compare the total delivered and usable system, including the selected base, torso, head, arm, gripper, sensor ring, computers, software stack, ROS support, charging system, safety functions, integration, training and service. This is especially important when the robot must meet a launch date, site requirement, research protocol or production target.

If you are looking for a Care-O-bot 4 for sale, contact Anton Robots before ordering so the commercial status, configuration and support can be checked. Define who owns software changes, backups, data, maintenance records and operator training after handover. These operational details often determine whether the Care-O-bot 4 remains useful after the initial demonstration or installation.

Yes. You can request a quote or buying review for the Care-O-bot 4 through Anton Robots. A useful quote should show more than the robot name. It should identify the Care-O-bot 4 modules, arm and gripper, sensor package, computing, software, charging equipment, application engineering, safety validation, training, delivery and support.

This matters because a proposal that looks cheaper can become more expensive once omitted hardware, subscriptions, integration, freight, duties, installation or support are added. The quote should also state what the buyer must provide, the expected delivery process and any regional restrictions.

Anton Robots can help compare the Care-O-bot 4 with other service robots and structure the enquiry around the actual use case rather than a generic price request. Anton Robots should capture transactional search intent while keeping the route accurate: compare the supported configuration, request a detailed quote and confirm the seller responsible for delivery, commissioning, warranty and technical support.

A typical Care-O-bot 4 package may include the core robot and the items specified by the selected commercial configuration. The exact delivery can vary by country, application, service plan and supplier, so buyers should request a written packing and scope list. Confirm whether the offer includes:

• Robot platform in the quoted configuration
• Controller, charger or docking equipment
• Required software and licences
• Application-specific accessories or tooling
• Integration and site-preparation scope
• Commissioning, training and safety documentation
• Freight, warranty and after-sales support

The package should also identify anything supplied by the customer, such as networking, site power, mounting, tooling, safety equipment, floor preparation or ongoing subscription fees. This matters because two offers can use the same product name while covering very different levels of readiness. You can request an itemised Care-O-bot 4 package through Anton Robots before buying.

For international projects, include currency, taxes, customs, freight, local certification, installation travel and return logistics. A low base price can become a poor offer when the complete supported deployment is calculated.

The Care-O-bot 4 may be available for international delivery, but this depends on the manufacturer’s sales territory, destination, export rules, freight method, batteries, local certification, installation needs and support coverage. Professional robots can require specialist freight, insurance, customs handling, site access planning and local commissioning.

Before ordering, ask whether the price includes freight, insurance, customs clearance, import duties, VAT or GST, local delivery, commissioning and return shipping for warranty work. For larger industrial robots, site access, lifting equipment, transport frames and engineer travel may also matter. You can request an international Care-O-bot 4 review through Anton Robots so regional availability and the full landed package can be checked.

For international projects, include currency, taxes, customs, freight, local certification, installation travel and return logistics. A low base price can become a poor offer when the complete supported deployment is calculated. Before approving an order, document the exact Care-O-bot 4 revision, intended task, destination, users, integrations, acceptance test and support owner. This allows Anton Robots to match the enquiry with a supplier that can deliver a complete working package rather than isolated hardware.

Care-O-bot 4 availability and delivery time can change according to region, production schedule, configuration, stock, project approval and the amount of customisation or integration required. A product page or demonstration does not confirm immediate regional inventory; configuration and project approval can affect lead time.

Do not assume immediate delivery because a product page or enquiry button is visible. A supplier should confirm the exact model, commercial status, estimated production or dispatch window, dependencies, payment milestones and what happens if the schedule changes.

If the robot is needed for a construction phase, course, exhibition, research project or production launch, verify availability before committing to the wider project. You can request current Care-O-bot 4 availability through Anton Robots. Before approving an order, document the exact Care-O-bot 4 revision, intended task, destination, users, integrations, acceptance test and support owner. This allows Anton Robots to match the enquiry with a supplier that can deliver a complete working package rather than isolated hardware.

Before buying the Care-O-bot 4, confirm the written warranty period, covered components, exclusions, preventive maintenance, repair location, response process, spare parts, software support and who pays freight or engineer travel. Confirm software updates, spare parts, batteries, preventive maintenance, response times and the authorised service route in the destination country. Also ask whether batteries, wear parts, end effectors, subscriptions, third-party software and customer modifications are covered.

Industrial and social robots can require remote diagnostics, operator training and specialist service, so support should be evaluated as part of the purchase rather than after a fault occurs. Anton Robots can help buyers compare the package and identify unanswered warranty questions before ordering. Compare the Care-O-bot 4 against at least one alternative using the same payload, workspace, duty cycle, software, safety, service and landed-cost assumptions.

A technically suitable robot can still be the wrong purchase when integration or regional support is weak. Anton Robots should capture transactional search intent while keeping the route accurate: compare the supported configuration, request a detailed quote and confirm the seller responsible for delivery, commissioning, warranty and technical support.

The Care-O-bot 4 is worth considering if you need a sophisticated modular service-robot research platform and can fund application development around it. Its combination of omnidirectional mobility, manipulation, sensing, interaction and modularity supports research that simpler delivery robots cannot perform.

However, it is not the right choice if you need an inexpensive turnkey commercial appliance with a fixed task, standard service network or guaranteed autonomous care outcomes. The decision should be based on the intended outcome, current commercial status, full ownership cost, operator skills, environment, integration and support.

Buyers should not choose it only because the robot is famous, visually impressive or appears in demonstration videos. Compare the Care-O-bot 4 with other service robots through Anton Robots before deciding. The final decision should be supported by a written specification and, where practical, a demonstration with representative parts, users or site conditions. Marketing material is useful for discovery but does not replace a task-specific acceptance test.

Fraunhofer lists a fully configured Care-O-bot 4 at approximately 72 × 72 × 158 cm, 140 kg and 29 degrees of freedom. The mobile base can travel up to about 1.1 m/s. The seven-axis arm provides roughly 90 cm reach and a 5 kg payload, while the gripper adds two degrees of freedom and a 3D RGB-D camera. A complete system can include several Intel NUC computers, touchscreens, microphones, speakers, Gigabit Ethernet and extensive programmable lighting.

Because the platform is modular, the delivered robot may differ substantially from the full reference configuration; every specification should be tied to the quoted module list. Anton Robots should capture transactional search intent while keeping the route accurate: compare the supported configuration, request a detailed quote and confirm the seller responsible for delivery, commissioning, warranty and technical support.

Define who owns software changes, backups, data, maintenance records and operator training after handover. These operational details often determine whether the Care-O-bot 4 remains useful after the initial demonstration or installation.

Yes. A configured Care-O-bot 4 can combine a seven-axis arm, approximately 5 kg payload, around 90 cm arm reach and a gripper with 3D vision and programmable interfaces. This supports research into fetching objects, handing items to people, operating in kitchens, assisting with handling tasks and interacting with furniture or equipment. The robot does not automatically know how to perform every domestic task. Object models, grasp planning, perception, motion planning, fixtures, safety limits and application software are still required.

Buyers should demonstrate the real objects, heights, surfaces and recovery scenarios before defining the final arm, gripper, camera and software configuration. Define who owns software changes, backups, data, maintenance records and operator training after handover. These operational details often determine whether the Care-O-bot 4 remains useful after the initial demonstration or installation.

Care-O-bot platforms support autonomous localisation, mapping, path planning and obstacle avoidance using an omnidirectional base and environmental sensors. Dynamic obstacles such as people can be detected and avoided in appropriate mapped indoor environments. Autonomy remains application-specific: manipulation, task planning, human interaction, lifts, doors and unusual obstacles may require additional software and integration. The buyer should define whether the robot will navigate independently, be supervised, use teleoperation or combine these modes.

A site trial should test narrow passages, reflective surfaces, crowds, network coverage, charging and recovery after blocked routes. Autonomous navigation does not make every assistance task autonomous. Define who owns software changes, backups, data, maintenance records and operator training after handover. These operational details often determine whether the Care-O-bot 4 remains useful after the initial demonstration or installation.

Before approving an order, document the exact Care-O-bot 4 revision, intended task, destination, users, integrations, acceptance test and support owner. This allows Anton Robots to match the enquiry with a supplier that can deliver a complete working package rather than isolated hardware.

Fraunhofer’s full technical configuration lists three safety laser scanners with a safety PLC, two-channel Safe Torque Off for the mobile base and torso, two-channel emergency-stop preparation across modules and a wireless emergency stop. Those components support safe system design but do not certify every final application automatically. The arm, gripper, carried object, speed, human contact, furniture, stairs and application software all affect risk. The integrator must complete a task-specific risk assessment and validate the finished configuration.

Buyers should request the applicable safety documentation, emergency procedures, operating limits, training and acceptance tests as part of the quotation.

A low base price can become a poor offer when the complete supported deployment is calculated. Compare the Care-O-bot 4 against at least one alternative using the same payload, workspace, duty cycle, software, safety, service and landed-cost assumptions. A technically suitable robot can still be the wrong purchase when integration or regional support is weak.

Care-O-bot 4 has been developed around assistance scenarios including healthcare support, helping older people with difficult handling tasks and relieving staff of selected service activities. It can be a valuable research and pilot platform for transport, interaction and manipulation. It should not be presented as a clinically validated replacement for carers or as an autonomous medical decision system.

A healthcare project must define infection control, privacy, consent, accessibility, secure data handling, supervision, emergency procedures and the exact task that the robot performs. The deployment should be evaluated with staff and users, and any essential care outcome must have a safe human fallback. Compare the Care-O-bot 4 against at least one alternative using the same payload, workspace, duty cycle, software, safety, service and landed-cost assumptions.

Fraunhofer’s Care-O-bot research initiative provides open-source repositories, hardware drivers, simulation models and application examples for robotics frameworks including ROS and Orocos. Support can vary by hardware generation, operating-system version and selected modules.

A buyer should confirm the maintained repository, ROS distribution, simulation environment, source-code access, controller interfaces and licensing for the exact 2026 configuration. Research teams should also budget for integration of custom sensors, perception, navigation and manipulation code. The availability of ROS packages makes development easier, but it does not eliminate the need for systems engineering and support.

Care-O-bot 4 is obtained through a customised project with Fraunhofer IPA rather than ordinary retail checkout. Fraunhofer states that interested organisations can contact the institute to obtain a platform and a detailed offer for customer-specific services.

Anton Robots can help structure the enquiry by documenting modules, intended tasks, research goals, destination, software requirements, safety scope and budget. The quote should state the exact base, torso, head, arm, gripper, sensors, computers, charging system, repositories, engineering services, training, delivery and warranty. A used research platform should be evaluated separately because its module configuration and software state may differ.

The final decision should be supported by a written specification and, where practical, a demonstration with representative parts, users or site conditions. Marketing material is useful for discovery but does not replace a task-specific acceptance test. Define who owns software changes, backups, data, maintenance records and operator training after handover.
