Overview
6-axis collaborative robot arm from Beijing-based AUBO (遨博) in its i-series: 16 kg payload, 967.5 mm reach, ±0.03 mm repeatability and a 38 kg arm, the largest of the i-series sizes (i5, i10, i16) listed on AUBO's page. AUBO's own i-series page lists only these four figures for the i16; speed, IP rating and temperature range are given only by distributors and are left empty here. Aimed at palletising, machine tending and other heavier collaborative tasks.
Will the AUBO i16 do your task? Simulate it before you buy.
Four cobots on the same palletizing task, simulated before purchase.
We build your station in a simulator with the AUBO i16 and one or two alternatives, and send you video plus cycle time, parts per shift, reach and payload check, and a payback estimate. Scoping is free, and every project is quoted individually.

Key facts
- Official AUBO i-series page (aubo-cobot.com/public/iproduct3, fetched 2026-10-17): i16 payload 16 kg, reach 967.5 mm, weight 38 kg, repeatability ±0.03 mm. The page has no speed, power, IP or temperature per model; it gives series-level certifications EN ISO 13849-1:2015 (PL d, Cat 3), CE, UL, KCs and SEMI S2.
- Third-party figures not adopted as specs: Unchained Robotics lists ≤4 m/s TCP speed, 0-50 °C, weight 38.5 kg, 0.1 mm repeatability (its overview says ±0.03 mm); ASBIS lists arm IP54, ≤4.0 m/s, 0-50 °C, 2000 W peak / 600 W average, ±0.1 mm. Both disagree with AUBO on repeatability (and Unchained on weight), so the manufacturer's values are used and the rest left empty.
- Price spread: Unchained EUR 21,000 excl. VAT (about $23.6k) versus ASBIS $20,485 with unstated VAT basis. No manufacturer or Chinese-market price found.
- No launch date found on fetched pages, so year_available is empty. Same i-series as the AUBO i5 and i10; a larger size, not a new generation.
- price_from is the lowest current price; ASBIS ($20,485) has no stated VAT basis, while Unchained (EUR 21,000) is explicitly excl. VAT. Compare with that caveat.
