KUKA youBot

The KUKA youBot price has no current KUKA list price because youBot is discontinued and available only through used, academic or collector channels. Value depends on whether the package includes the mobile base, arm, gripper, batteries, charger, internal PC, software, sensors and a functional condition report. A displayed arm price or used-market figure is not the final cost of a productive robot system. Buyers may also need a controller, teach pendant, end effector, dress pack, pedestal, guarding, safety equipment, software, integration, programming, shipping, taxes, commissioning, training, warranty and spare parts.

Before comparing offers, confirm the exact generation, reach, controller, environmental version, included equipment and support route. The better buying question is: what is included, what is excluded, and who guarantees the completed application?

You can request KUKA youBot pricing or a system review through Anton Robots before approving a budget.

You can request verified used or academic sourcing for the KUKA youBot through Anton Robots. Anton Robots helps buyers verify the exact robot, legitimate commercial route and complete automation package. youBot remains influential in research and simulation, but it is absent from KUKA’s current mobile-manipulator range.

Before buying or importing a unit, confirm the full model code, generation, controller, software, payload data, delivery country, warranty, spare parts and local service. A family name, old brochure or secondary-market listing does not always identify the same mechanical arm or supported controller generation. Professional buyers should compare the complete cell and integration responsibility rather than choosing only the lowest robot price. For medical, collaborative or used equipment, also verify the applicable certification and risk-assessment requirements.

To start, request KUKA youBot buying or sourcing guidance through Anton Robots.

You may find a KUKA youBot for sale through universities, research laboratories, auctions, specialist dealers and robotics communities. Finding a KUKA youBot for sale is only the first step. Buyers should verify whether the offer is current, new, used, refurbished, incomplete, controller-only, arm-only or unsupported outside its original region. Require proof of base movement, arm motion, gripper, batteries, charger, EtherCAT communication, onboard computer, software image and spare-parts access.

A useful comparison should cover the exact model code, serial number, manufacturing year, operating hours, controller, teach pendant, cables, mastering status, service history, software licences, warranty and available parts. For used industrial robots, require a powered inspection and confirm that the selected integrator can recommission the system safely.

If you are looking for a KUKA youBot, contact Anton Robots. We can also compare it with other robots in the same category.

There is no normal new-product quote, but you can request a used-youBot review or modern mobile-manipulator comparison through Anton Robots. A useful quotation should identify the exact robot and controller, end effector, payload and inertia assumptions, mounting structure, safety system, application software, fixtures, integration, commissioning, training and acceptance criteria. The review should identify the exact hardware, number of arms, sensors, battery health, computer, ROS environment, modifications, documentation and support.

Buyers should provide the destination country, workpiece, tool, required reach, cycle time, environment, process, production schedule and any existing machines or fieldbus systems. That information allows the supplier to verify load data and determine whether the proposed configuration is technically suitable. The quote should state who owns programming, risk assessment, documentation and production acceptance.

Anton Robots can help compare the KUKA youBot against other relevant robots.

A typical KUKA youBot package may include the omnidirectional base, one or two five-axis arms, gripper, batteries, charger, onboard computer and research software. The exact contents vary by country, seller, controller generation, configuration and product condition, so buyers should request a written list:

• KUKA youBot mobile base
• One or two five-axis youBot arms
• Two-finger gripper
• Batteries and charging equipment
• Onboard computer and EtherCAT hardware
• ROS, C++ or other software environment
• Sensors, modifications and research accessories
• Condition report, packaging and limited support

Academic robots are frequently modified, and a unit may not match the original mechanical, electrical or software configuration. A robot arm alone does not create a working automation cell. Tooling, guarding, fixtures, software, machine interfaces, safety validation and production testing can equal or exceed the hardware cost. For used equipment, mastering data, backups, cables and compatible software are especially important.

You can request an itemised KUKA youBot offer or availability review through Anton Robots before committing.

The mobile base carries approximately 20 kg, while the arm handles about 0.5 kg. The arm payload includes the gripper, fingers, adapters and object, and the base payload must account for the arm and mounted sensors. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. Academic modifications and ageing components can reduce safe practical performance below the original specification.

Before purchase or integration, verify the exact configuration, total mass, centre of gravity, wheel condition, arm load, gripper and battery. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. It is intended for small-object research, not industrial material handling.

You can request KUKA youBot application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete system before purchase.

The omnidirectional base has a published maximum speed of approximately 0.8 m/s. Four Mecanum wheels allow translation in any horizontal direction and rotation in place. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. Maximum speed depends on floor, payload, wheel wear, control software and battery and may be unsafe around people.

Before purchase or integration, verify the real surface, payload, wheel rollers, localisation, stopping, operator control and safety area. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. Use conservative speeds for laboratories and demonstrations.

The youBot arm has five rotary degrees of freedom plus a two-finger linear gripper. The arm is approximately 655 mm high, weighs around six kilograms and uses EtherCAT-connected joints. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. Five axes cannot independently achieve every six-dimensional tool pose, and the small arm payload restricts end effectors.

Before purchase or integration, verify every required pose, approach direction, collision, gripper stroke, object and software planner. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. It is ideal for learning mobile manipulation constraints.

Yes, the youBot became a widely used ROS research platform. KUKA also promoted control through C++ APIs, Orocos, LabVIEW and other open research tools. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. Original packages target older Linux and ROS environments, and modern ROS2 use may rely on community-maintained ports.

Before purchase or integration, verify operating system, ROS distribution, drivers, EtherCAT, repositories, onboard PC, gripper and maintenance ownership. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. Freeze and document the software stack before using it in a course.

The youBot is a discontinued legacy research platform. KUKA’s current mobile manipulators include KMR iisy, KMR iiwa and KMR QUANTEC rather than youBot. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. General KUKA service does not guarantee parts, software or repairs for every youBot unit.

Before purchase or integration, verify serial number, remaining support, seller documentation, spare joints, batteries, computer, source code and community expertise. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. Assume owner-maintained operation unless written support is obtained.

The youBot can demonstrate intralogistics and mobile-manipulation concepts but is not a current production AMR. Research teams have used it for navigation, pick and place, inspection, object recognition and RoboCup@Work tasks. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. It lacks current industrial safety, payload, environmental protection, lifecycle support and turnkey fleet infrastructure.

Before purchase or integration, verify the required uptime, payload, safety standard, route, navigation, battery, process capability and consequence of failure. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. Use a modern industrial mobile manipulator for a production deployment.

Current alternatives include KMR iisy, KMR iiwa and other supported AMR-plus-cobot systems. Modern platforms add autonomous navigation, current controllers, safer human interaction, better batteries and enterprise integration. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. They cost more and may not reproduce the open low-level youBot research environment or existing software.

Before purchase or integration, verify payload, reach, autonomy, SDK, safety, fleet software, support, budget and compatibility with the research objective. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. Choose youBot for legacy research and a current platform for operational automation.

A used KUKA youBot can be shipped internationally with appropriate battery and specialist-equipment handling. Delivery depends on the destination country, product status, freight method, export controls, customs, electrical standards, controller configuration and local service coverage. Confirm battery condition, freight rules, software access, import, fragile arm protection and the absence of normal factory warranty.

Before ordering, confirm who acts as importer of record, whether the controller and software are supported in the destination and who will install, master, commission and validate the robot. Industrial arms require suitable lifting, packaging, foundation planning and protection against transit damage. Medical and collaborative systems can also involve additional regulatory and application-specific responsibilities.

You can request international availability for the KUKA youBot through Anton Robots so the complete route can be checked. Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration, medical programme, or production deployment.

KUKA youBot availability and delivery time can change according to the exact variant, controller, production allocation, seller inventory, refurbishment work and integration scope. Availability depends entirely on laboratories and secondary-market sellers rather than KUKA production. A robot appearing online should not automatically be treated as a complete locally stocked system.

Before committing to a production date, ask whether the quoted arm is built to order, physically in stock, used, refurbished or only subject to manufacturer confirmation. Lead time can also be affected by tooling, safety equipment, fixtures, software, freight, customs, commissioning and factory acceptance testing. You can request current KUKA youBot availability through Anton Robots.

Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration, medical programme, or production deployment. The selected supplier should record the final configuration and acceptance criteria in the purchase documentation before the system is commissioned.

Before buying the KUKA youBot, confirm the warranty or seller guarantee, covered components, controller and software entitlement, exclusions, service territory, parts availability and repair process. Manufacturer warranty has expired; require seller testing and a plan for batteries, wheel modules, arm joints, gripper, EtherCAT boards and computer replacement. Ask these questions:

• Is the arm new, manufacturer-refurbished, integrator-refurbished, or sold as-is?
• Who supports the controller, drives, motors, encoders, cables and teach pendant?
• Are mastering, backups, software licences and safety options included?
• What response time and spare-parts commitment applies to production failures?
• Who performs installation, risk assessment and application acceptance?
• How long will the exact generation remain serviceable in the destination country?

Lifecycle support can be more important than the initial hardware price. Contact Anton Robots to review the package before purchase. Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration, medical programme, or production deployment.

The KUKA youBot is worth considering if you need compatibility with an existing youBot research stack or value the platform for education, collection or historical experimentation. Its strongest value comes from its omnidirectional base, open software, integrated five-axis arm and extensive academic and RoboCup history.

However, the purchase only makes sense when the exact model, payload, reach, controller, environment and support match the application. For a new applied project, a current AMR or mobile cobot offers stronger safety, autonomy, batteries, documentation and support. Buyers should compare complete installed cost, cycle time, expected uptime, energy, maintenance, integration risk and currently supported alternatives. For a production project, define measurable acceptance criteria before approving the cell rather than selecting a robot only by brand or nominal payload.
