A New York-built six-axis arm sold with a public price that undercuts UR and FANUC cobots of similar payload, plus a no-code editor and an open API. Standard Bots has since renamed the arm Core and added the 7 kg Spark, 30 kg Thor and mobile-ready Bolt, and markets the line for machine tending and AI-driven automation.
