Actuators & Sensors
- Self-developed joint modules integrating motors, reducers, encoders and torque sensors.
- 6-DOF and 7-DOF arm variants.
- Safety features: torque limiting, collision detection, hand-guided teaching.
Supply-Chain Analysis
- AUBO's joint modules are largely in-house, using domestic harmonic reducers from suppliers such as Leaderdrive.
- Its scale in education helps amortize R&D across a broad installed base.
- Component localization keeps AUBO arms price-competitive against Universal Robots and overseas rivals.
Competitor Comparison
Versus JAKA (节卡): AUBO leads in education and has longer history, while JAKA is stronger in industrial applications. Versus Universal Robots, AUBO wins on price and localization in China.
